At the football kickoff last week, Dan O'Brien (now permanent athletic director) told us that the clear bag policy was suggested by the Stearns County Sheriff's Office.

Sad sign of the times.

Quote from: olddog on August 06, 2026, 12:56:58 PMIt means no accountability, the Liberal Way...Poor Admin, Poor HC Hires and Process to hire , Covid Shut down (no kings ya right), just another long line of bad formula brought on by the libs....

No reason that place field a good team, tons of talent in the area. Old Dog played on that field back when stadium was twice as big against an ex NFL qb,....If you remember Steve Young and the LA Express played their last few games their in 85' before the league died.

Sad that being accountable is not needed to have a good job working for the Gov in CA.

 
Like the orange one is being held accountable?

(Sorry Pat, couldn't help myself.  Won't be offended if you delete.)

Why is the attendance so much higher at Carleton?

Think about the money you'll save driving 20 miles round trip instead of 80 to Northfield.

Is this basically a payday for Olaf, courtesy of Johnnie fans? Taking a page from the UST playbook? The ratio of SJU fans to Olaf fans will be bigger than if the game were actually played at Olaf.

I like the night game idea — I just wish it were in August or September instead of November.

No tailgating!

The whole thing is wrong.  Would like to know what the UMHB donor paid.

He's certainly built great success at Shakopee.  I hope he can return SJU wrestling to relevance!
Agreed.  I hope he will be provided the resources required to be successful.  Don't think that's been the case in some time.

As sort of a counterpoint to BDB, Johnnie Football Spring Standup

It is a fundraiser, but $250 is kind of steep.

Looks like the Johnnies lost out on the Jett Feeney sweepstakes.  https://www.twincities.com/2026/03/09/gophers-add-moorhead-quarterback-jett-feeney-to-2027-recruiting-class/

Maybe he'll ride the bench for a couple of years and then follow his brother to Collegeville.

My eldest daughter works at Johns Hopkins.  Never met Johnny.

Quote from: bleedpurple on February 24, 2026, 07:31:35 PMNext year will be much easier for the WIAC schools to fill their non-conference schedule as they will only need to schedule two games. Conference play will begin week three, there will be a conference bye week 6 and then week 10 will be pit 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5. The regular season champion will be declared after week 9.
So, teams will play each other twice?  Never a fan of that.

Quote from: DuffMan on February 02, 2026, 03:18:22 PMNo clue.  Herberg is new to the staff, so I don't know what to expect.  This may be the first time in a very long time that both the OC and DC are not SJU alums.  :o
Possibly never?

Quote from: emma17 on December 31, 2025, 11:56:41 AMI see UWW fitting the boringly better description more consistently in their 10 Stagg appearances. In their 6 wins, I'd point to Beaver, Coppage, Kumerow and Behrendt as offensive playmakers that went beyond the boringly better performance of their teammates. Meinerz was in a class of his own.

Derek Stanley was a stud receiver.

Some studs on UWW's defense.  The ones I remember are A.J. Raebel and Ryan Kleppe. They really stood out to me in 2005.  No Stagg Bowl win but made the game.

Thanks for the shout out, ROR ;)  8-)
