and Cobbernation, way to show off that Concordia education, very classy

SJU Fans,

Tough loss for the Oles yesterday, but the guys played hard and not cheap. You won't hear any excuses here, just looked like somewhat of a repeat last year as the coaching staff was unable to adjust to SJUs passing scheme. Looking forward to this weeks game with Concordia. Congrats on the win

Duffman,

Don't remember saying Olaf was a "dynasty" but if you want to throw it out there, fine by me.

Second, is this poll a joke? I know its tought to admit any time St Johns loses to a better team, which is what happened in 2004 at Olaf, but this is just pathetic that the excuses are already coming in if St Johns does lose. I guess you can guarantee that no matter when the Johnnies lose, there is always an excuse.

Finally, CC Knight, ridiculous that you can say anything about Olaf considering the results over the past decade. See you in November.

Duffman,
I wouldn't look for Olaf to go back to Carleton type seasons any time soon. With the recruiting classes they are bringing in they have clearly passed Bethel and St Thomas and are at the top of the conference with SJU and Concordia (until this year for Conc).

For saturday, expect a huge crowd because it is homecoming and everybody remembers last years embarrassment. Can't see the Oles losing this one after talking with the boys this week. Should be a good one.

SJUSection,

Thanks for the info on Carleton and yes, the bars/restaurants are in "downtown" northfield closer to Carleton's campus. Right off of highways 19 and 3.

Also, regarding the sprinklers, nice to see that the excuses are already coming in for the Johnnies. Should be a long bus ride home.

New to this but for all the Johnnies fans, good place to get food/beer in Northfield is the Reub or Froggy Bottoms, both a 10-15 minute walk depending on your state. Quick question, did Carleton really look that good or did St. Johns have a bad game?
