Quote from: sjujohnnie on December 16, 2025, 01:14:22 PMAny word on how the search for two teams to fill the non-conference slate next fall are going for St John's? Has anyone heard of any changes in approach that the staff/team will be taking between now & next season to be more competitive?

Have St. John's contact Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays are always looking for top competition.

Quote from: ICAlum16 on December 11, 2025, 03:59:11 PMI am hearing that the winds of change are swirling on the South Hill of Ithaca, NY. I don't know anything for certain but I would not be shocked if by next week big changes are announced.

Toerper going to East Hill to be Swanstrom's new DC, I suppose.

Toerper to Cornell as DC. Hopkins OC to Ithaca as new HC. 🤫

Quote from: IC798891 on December 07, 2025, 03:00:31 PMHopkins runs the ball 9 straight times, and then goes to kneel it out. Absolutely textbook end of blowout game plan.

Salisbury calls a timeout, so they clearly want to play to the final whistle, and now Hopkins, what, is obligated to continue to call nothing but runs?

It's admirable that the Gulls wanted to keep playing to the last whistle, but acting as though Hopkins is only allowed to do so exactly how Salisbury deems fit is weak.

Speaking as a fan of a team that got waxed by Hopkins and had Hopkins kneel it out on them, grow up.

Everyone wants to come to rescue for Hopkins, go on ahead. Like I said, it was still classless. Don't care if team called timeout, many of your teams did the same thing and we ran it out and or kneeled. Spare ME!

In 1984, Johns Hopkins traveled to DC play Georgetown University. The Jays had not yet become the D3 football powerhouse of today, but on that sunny October day, Hopkins shut out Georgetown 42-0.

Now, the Hoyas home field set up was unusual to say the least: The field was on top of a building, the turf felt like it was laid down over plywood (it bounced like a trampoline in spots), and both teams shared a sideline.
 
The Hoyas head coach took offense to the fact that Hopkins continued to throw the ball with their 3rd team QB late in the 4th quarter with a 35-0 lead. The coach came racing up the shared sideline to confront the JHU head coach, screaming at him like a mad man after a Jays receiver caught a simple 5-yard out pass on 3rd and 10, broke a tackle, and scored a touchdown.
 
"That's f*ing bull ****!" the now red-faced Georgetown coach yelled at the Hopkins head coach. "F*ing bull **** throwing the ball now."
 
The Man will never forget what happened next as long as he lives.
 
Calmly, and without missing a beat, the LEGENDARY Johns Hopkins head coach Jerry Pfeifer said to the incensed Georgetown coach, "Christ, son, I can't help it if your team can't play pass defense."

Savage.
 

Regardless of who was more petty, Sherman Wood for calling the time out when Hopkins was trying to kneel out the game or Dan Wodicka for calling the pass play on 4th down, it all comes down to the immortal words of the LEGENDARY Jerry Pfeifer:

Christ, son, I can't help it if your team can't play pass defense.  Q.E.D.

Quote from: The Man on November 04, 2025, 07:39:15 PMIf you ever wonder what that sound is over here on the Centennial Conference Board...

Is it the sound of crickets 🦗
Or the sound of silence 🤫
Or the sound of domination 💪

Whatever you want to call it, there is only one cause - the Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays. 🏈

And they know that talk is cheap. All they do is win. 🏆

Not sure why you feel the need to post something like that "TheMan" but good luck to JHU as well as Muhlenberg and F&M. Would love to see the CC well represented and respected in the tournament.

Where did The Man go?  Much like the Jay's pass coverage on the last play Saturday, he seems to have disappeared.  Gotta love these six-post heroes.

It's a message board; people post when they want to. 

Much like all highly successful Hopkins alumni, or in your parlance, "a six-post hero," The Man has interests outside of this board; The Man's posting frequency reflects that - not his team loyalty.

Almost positive this was a topic of discussion at Homewood on November 25, 2023...

No surprise that Johns Hopkins leads the Division III Football NPI rankings.

Blue Jays will run the table and earn the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs.

Johns Hopkins has defeated Muhlenberg College 12 times in the last 15 years they have played, including winning the last 3 games in a row, and 8 of the last 10. Hopkins also owns the longest win streak in the series – 8 games from 2011 to 2018.

Any notion that Muhlenberg College would be competitive against the Jays this season is simply delusional. Centennial Conference coaches agree – Muhlenberg College was chosen to finish 5th in the 8-team conference and didn't receive a single first place vote. Middle of the pack is about right for them in 2025.

The ease of victory will define this year's walkover. Nevertheless, JHU fans will cheer for Muhlenberg College when they represent the conference in the Centennial -MAC Bowl Challenge again this year.

Muhlenberg College will lose by at least 14 to Johns Hopkins. The game will be a walkover for the Jays.

Thank you, Ralph.

Had the pleasure of sitting on the visitors side (the sunny side) at the JHU - UMHB playoff game today at Homewood. Very impressed with the display of sportsmanship by the Cru fans and the Cru players throughout the game.

Also impressed at the size of the UMHB crowd that made the trip to Baltimore from Texas.
