Game notes say SJU-Ole game will be streamed. Fingers crossed that is correct.

Used to be last three games and I was wondering if Johnnies shrunk their playbook the past couple games.

It will be SJU stream and PPV as if it was a home game, per St. Olaf.

Seriously, though, it would be my nice to get some official word.

Had thought about flying out ... but then, well, Oles.

Will likely save trip for a playoff game, although if SJU drops in NLI that might be just one game at Clemens.

Given it's the Oles, there's always a chance they will skip the game and live stream a choir rehearsal.

Yeah, was all set for the jokes about the Missionaries' position in the playoffs.

Quote from: faunch on November 09, 2026, 02:27:00 PMDoes anyone know who is providing the video feed for the SJU / Olaf game at TC0? I haven't decided if I'm going.  I've already been there a couple times for high school games and $20 seems a little steep for a game that shouldn't be very competitive...and I can enjoy a warm beverage in front of my TV at home.

I think it was subcontracted out to the CSS AV department?

Dang! Then we need to accelerate that GoFundMe for a lens that zooms.

After studying the NPI rankings last night I had a sinking feeling that North Park was going to be shunted off to the central Minnesota wilderness, and my fears came true this morning. Collegevile, MN is 475 miles from the NPU campus if you take the I-90 toll road through Rockford, 490 miles if you take I-94 through Milwaukee. In other words, the committee milked the 500-mile bus limit for all its worth as far as NPU is concerned.

The Vikings are likely to get very little fan support next weekend. Funny thing is, since St. John's is about as diehard a football school as there is in all of D3, I wonder if anybody is going to get fan support, including the Johnnies themselves.

Oh, well. At least the Vikings will play an opponent that they've never faced before in Whitman. Novelty counts for something.

They don't get great crowds in Collegeville. Being a long drive from the Twin Cities doesn't help. But there seems to be push to build more support ... the playoff show was streamed on the video board. That, of course, was at Clemens.

Soccer is across the road and right next to the inflatable dome. Can be breezy there but the pitch is well cared for. Basic metal bleachers in a complex that also has baseball and tennis.

Willing to provide tips to anyone traveling. DM me.

CSS video is still rough and bandwidth appears to still be an issue.

Ha! High school buddy got home from practice and didn't feel well. Crashed on living room couch. Folks were headed out the door when they gave him a second look.

Was soon in ambulance to Cities. Docs said if folks had left he would likely have never gotten up.

Took the spleen. Later that fall we went to look at schools. Sat on hill at SJU and when someone passed the schnapps he passed because of no spleen. I sipped and ended up in Collegeville. Cause or correlation?

Fifty-five years later he is going strong and retired with West Point degree.

Had my grandson on that same hill for Cobber game. No schnapps.

Looks like Gusties have their first-string QB for the trip to Collegeville. His fill-in moved to a receiver spot.

Quote from: Robert Zimmerman on October 19, 2026, 08:39:15 AMI have tried to park at 11:30 am behind Physical Plant at the Hamline and Concordia games this season and all the spots were gone (some were making there own spots). I think a lot of folks try to park there now. They have coned off places like down at Brother Mark's garage area, so it is more limited now.

Ah, so you were the guy poking around in front of me! lol. I got to campus via back way at 11:30 and had the same idea. My Frank House history was no help. I learned a lot of nooks working over summers as well but many are long gone. Big assignment was painting Edelbrock House (former Durenberger home) with JG and family next door.

I've got to try that Duff route from parking. Was going to walk it Saturday but knew I could not keep up with 5-year-old grand along the road.

Quote from: Boys of Fall on October 13, 2026, 02:33:53 PMThere hasn't been much mention of the Johnnie defense this season.  Going into the season I think this was an area of question.  Only two years removed from Jerry retiring and first year without Novak opened the team up for some big changes.  So far I think the defense under Herberg has answered the questions.  It's early, but the energy he's bringing to that side of the ball is encouraging.

Yes.

From time to time over the years, I wished the Johnnies would/could have some bigger boys in the front seven.  Lots of years went to war with 230 lb DT's, 200 lb LBs etc.  This year, they've got a nice size front four, at least front 3, 285/270/265 and off the bench with 270/270/250, good crew of LB's around 220-225 lbs.  I think that helps! Maybe the new DC favors size a little more than the old "speed" emphasis.

Could be good test with Cobbers, who have some solid guys with size in the o-line.

Tis the season.

Didn't the MIAC used to do a coaches poll? Was wondering what they might have thought about GAC.

It seems the MIAC site is a bit thinner these days.
