Is the score on D3football.com right for the Johnnie game?

**Do not adjust your television screen**  The score is 26-10. Auggies up with SJU driving.

Touchdown Johnnies.  26-17 with 2 minutes left in the half.

Sounds like they're getting more from the Auggie Tech ground game than we've seen in a while. 

Maybe it's perception only.  Just heard Augsburg with 8 Carries for 20yds.

Did anybody see this?  I think it's out of Ohio.  A kid scores a last minute touchdown to put his team ahead but is then penalized for excessive celebration for pointing his finger in the air.  It seems that earlier in the day he was a pall bearer at a classmate's funeral.
It doesn't appear "excessive" to me.
I'm wondering if the game officials were made aware of the tragic loss and possible emotional state of the players?
Was something said on the field in addition to the finger point?
Was there smack and trash talking during the game? 

Based on just the video it seems like a bad call.
Good thing is official never worked a Johnnie game when Todd Fultz played.  Fultz pointed to heaven after every TD he scored to honor his deceased younger brother.

That's just a dumb penalty by the ref. All the back story aside, it didn't even look like excessive celebration to begin with. If we're to the point that guys can't celebrate a TD together in the endzone like these kids were, then I guess they expect the players to just respond like robots.

If anyone had the opportunity to watch the Baylor-TCU game the other night you would have seen a similar mistake made by the officials in that game.  A receiver scored a touchdown early in a hotly contested game and was penalized for a minor celebration which appeared to be, from my vantage point on the couch, a pure emotional outburst of excitement and was in no way intended to draw attention or "upstage" the other side.  I think the gestapo-style reaction to celebrations has gone a little overboard if this is the way officials are going to enforce it.  In my honest opinion.

LOL, I love this quote:

QuoteI remember one time he (Gagliardi) came up to me, and says "Hi, how's it going?"  I said, "Fine, John," and he looked at me and said, "Then why the hell did you miss that block on that D Back?"

I can remember similar conversations with John

Followed by a "what the hell were you thinking on that one"

Just making sure that I heard it correctly.  The tailgate festivities will be at hubert's this saturday before the auggie tech game??

That's correct... read all about it at www.JohnnieFootball.com

Check out the bartender at Hubie's, middle aged woman, attractive,...LBean's former high school throb...took her on one date...to a Twins game.
Go Johnnie's, I'm heading north in 3,2,1...

Thanks for the follow up fellas.  I will definitely keep a weather eye out for the attractive bartender.  For some reason the beer just tastes better when it comes from someone easy on the eyes.

I just wanted to clarify something with the play calling.  I know for the last 4 years with Kofoed there he had made 90% of the calls on the field.  Every once in a while a suggestion would come in from something they saw up in the booth or a situational reminder from the sideline.  But, 90% was straight from the QB.  I don't know if that helps I just wanted to let everyone know.  Cheers.

Hey everybody, just wondering for those of you that ordered the 2008 Kickoff special what was the turn around time from when you went through the paypal site to when you were actually able to access the Kickoff?  Thank you for the help.  Cheers.

About two minutes give or take 30 seconds.

Thanks, it's figured out now.  The email was getting filtered by the schools network.  Now we're all set.

Can't help you because I ordered before the Kickoff was released, but it should be pretty quick.  There should be a contact address to get a hold of someone if you have problems.

How are things going at Mac?

Yeah I think the problem is that I ordered using my Mac email so I could get the .edu discount and the email I have on here is a gmail account. 

Things here are going great.  Awesome staff to work with and alot of great guys on the squad.  Just looking forward to this saturday when we head down the road a few blocks to UST.

Sprained is a offense guy and more recent than I, so I bow down to his knowledge of the SJU offense.

There really isnt a whole lot more to know than what you would've learned on your short tour as an o'line participant Duff.  Good to know from some earlier posts that you were forced to spend a little time down on the darkside

As far as beer goes-  I attended Auggie Tech, can you get beer in anything other than the 40 oz. size?  Someone please let me know!

I'll give you a little more credit than just 40's LAB, I remember throwing stuff out of a window in the auggie tower after drinking alot of tangueray(sp) with some former auggie fballers.  I didnt really see alot of un-40oz. beers around though.

Johnnie Guys who played, at least somewhat recently...

I'm interested to hear, after all of the discussion of the O-line playbook, what you think someone like AK has to read.  Having played in Haege's Offense for two years, and the one year we used Joe Austin's offense (now the O coordinator at Univ. of Dubuque in the IIAC and averaging 448.8 ypg) I've grown accustomed to highly complex offenses with voluminous playbooks.  I would like to know if the "Skill positioned" (I know lineman types, give me the grief now for that one!) players' playbooks at SJU are as simplified as the ones described in earlier posts.  I remember in A. Murphy's book the references to "Sieben Brown" and other simple sounding plays (Murphy does a good job fully exlpaining Sieben Brown as well!) but do these type of plays exist in a thick playbook that must be recalled be all skill position guys, or is everything as simplistic as all Johnnie associates make it out to be. 

All of us in the conference that play you guys hear the horror stories of your conditioning regimine and your weight training.  We've be shocked and awed at the cruelty of your practices, the hours of drills in horrific conditions all in the quest for making COACH happy and to get him to stop using that damn whistle.  But, do these tortures continue to the playbook reviews?  Must you also memorize thousands of pages of text and drawings?  Are there 6 am study periods just to have down the first 17 play options out of 11 personnel or the 23 plays you could run out of Ace right tight?  Duffman- you may be the most recent Johnnie (at least I believe!)  Any contribution on this subject?

LAB, I can tell you that our offense is very "simple" on all fronts from the skill positions on down.  Each week there's a few plays that are added on as team specific things that we think will work against that particular defense.  There are always a few things that would be picked out in "films" each week to try and exploit with our base plays.  And your right about the simple sounding plays, it would just be a formation call and a 2-3 word/letter/number play call and we'd break huddle.  Duff's on the money with that.
