Does the Life Safety crew go through any type of training for getting cars through a 4-Way Stop after a sporting event....? Apparently not.....

Quote from: corn horn on October 10, 2026, 05:33:58 PMGreat to see the 5-0 start, despite the level of competition. It has given the opportunity to build depth. I'm not such a fan of QB rotation, but all are crushing it and the play fresh. Concerned that tailback Mason Hughes went out in the second quarter and did not return. Cobbers will need their top guns when the roll into Collegeville.

Has the QB rotation been going on all season or did someone get dinged up a bit and sat as a precaution?

Oct. 17 Homecoming Game for SJU vs Cobbers will be interesting. The Johnnies have defeated UW-LAX & Bethel, both nationally ranked, and the Cobbers have put up impressive numbers against lackluster opponents. The Johnnies can not overlook anyone and need to keep the pedal to the metal....

I wasn't expecting this.... I was on record stating 24-21 but I wouldn't commit to who would score 24 points...

Game Day in Collegeville. This one will have national implications.

Quote from: sjujohnnie on September 29, 2026, 05:20:14 PMOn the same day that College Game Day is returning to Iowa City to spotlight my Hawkeyes getting embarrassed by the Buckeyes, St John's is going to have a College Game Day! Truth be told, I'll probably be more disappointed by St John's losing to Bethel than Iowa losing to Ohio St. Sounds like the feed to the festivities in Collegeville is free and begins at 11:00. Go Johnnies & Go Hawks!

You sneak.  I thought it was the real deal.  Still, they look to be trying a high-quality production.  Let's hope it looks as good as the gen-pic.

Is this more for current & prospective students, not football players...?
With competition across the higher education landscape is this another thing SJU/CSB can offer that other schools can't?? Would this be something a high school senior might use in his/her decision making process?
I'm genuinely curious....

Quote from: sju56321 on September 20, 2026, 10:51:21 AMFauch, I'm with you. I emailed HUDL right when the steam was spinning and requested a refund, since I was missing the game. The response came at half time saying, everything looks good, you need to watch the steam where you have more bandwidth. wTF, it wasn't my bandwidth, but your crappy streaming. HUDL and SJU are an embarrassment with the stream.

Yep...i was using the MIAC app and when the SJU feed told me to check my network I checked out the free Auggie football feed and a couple volleyball feeds without a problem. I watch SJU basketball games free of charge all winter long and never have an issue. **** I watch high school games online and don't have the issues like yesterday.
I've said it a hundred times that you can't charge a premium for these streams unless they are a quality product and you are 100% sure it will work.

I emailed the AD, the SID, Director od Communications and the President of the University. At a restaurant if i get charged for $15 entree and it sucks Im going to say something.

I suggest you message them too:
dobrien001@csbsju.edu
abaumann001@csbsju.edu
rklinkner@csbsju.edu
bbruess@csbsju.edu

Keep us updated. At minimum everyone who paid for the Hamline game should get a refund. As a goodwill gesture, the Bethel game (Oct. 3) should also be no charge to active subscribers.IMO

Quote from: sjujohnnie on September 14, 2026, 12:53:30 PMDoes anyone know if the St John's/St Olaf game will be streamed?

If I recall correctly, St. Olaf is technically the host in this matchup so it's unlikely st. john's will swoop in with a paywall. Plus, who wants to pay to watch a triple monkey stomp anyway?

Per Google, I live 274 miles or approximately 4 hours 30 minutes away from Eagan. I think it would be fun to come up and watch St John's at the Vikings' practice facility, but have tickets to an Iowa women's basketball game the next afternoon. If St Olaf will not be providing a stream, I guess I'll be coming up.

That's dedication!

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Happy 250th birthday America 

Duff, More importantly you'll have time to stroll by tailgate spots 17-21 and grab a brew

Quote from: faunch on May 26, 2026, 10:46:07 PMNot sure if there's an air conditioning contest but we turned ours on today at approximately 6:30 pm. Hot and sticky might be fun for some things but sleeping isn't one of them.

I had to turn mine on in March.  We had some days in the 90s which pushed the temp inside to the mid 80s.  It was brutal!  Just got my electric bill for May which wasn't terrible in terms of heat, but still over $250.  An electric bill in the summer can easily hit $500+ for a 2500 square foot home.  It flat out sucks.  I'll start reffing basketball in some gyms in a few weeks.  They tell me the gyms have A/C, but I am not sure it ever gets used.  I've been known to walk outside to cool off.  I leave the heat off for longer than most in the area.  Usually the house has to sit around 60 before I turn it on. 

What's everyone's favorite thing to hunt?  Love me some dove hunting.  High limits with lots of shooting.  If it flies and dies I am in.  Deer hunting is nice, but in Texas it's not the most sporting of activities in my opinion.  Hoping to do some hog/predator hunting with the thermal scope soon.

Deer, but wild love to do wild hog. I'm glad we don't have them in the area of our family farm where I hunt deer.

Quote from: Texas Ole on May 19, 2026, 06:09:44 PMLooking at moving back to Minnesota.  I haven't had my first $200 cooling bill yet, but the $500 one is coming!  Anyways I was asked about a job in Willmar.  I had some friends who were from there, but I've lost track of most of them.  Anyone know anything about the town today?

Also will have to do some research on hunting.  Most hunting in Texas on private lands where pretty much anything goes.  Deer and turkey hunting over feeders.  Not really the most sporting means.  Certain species you can hunt at night especially with thermals and night vision.  Also I don't remember there being a ton of dove hunting in MN, but looking forward to chasing some other wild upland birds.

Everything about Willmar has changed dramatically in the past 25 years. Anyone with means,Dr.s Attorneys, business owners, executives do not live in Willmar, they live in the Spicer area on one of the lakes and Green Lake is the gem.

You probably already knew this but I was doing some research and found this interesting. Since the beginning of the NIL/Transfer Portal era, roughly 40% of Division 1 football players find themselves without another team every year. Some drop a division and/or go the walk on route at another school without a scholarship.Some willing enter the Portal because of coaching changes etc.and others are told they will be losing their scholarship because their coach is looking to target certain players entering the Portal. It's kind of like the real world, don't quit a job unless you already have another one secured.
