My new gameday gear finally arrived.  Too soft, Oz? 

Where did you order that jersey from?   I love that it's GAMEDAY cut

Safe travels, wdavis. BTW, if you're driving up from MSP, grab a caramel roll at Tobies in Hinckley on the way up.

On the SJU post game radio show, it was speculated that #3 Alston, not known to be a jackass, was trying to inquire about your kid's situation, and the ref interpreted it as taunting.  I have no idea if that's close to being true - I would guess you do, but thought I'd throw that out there if there was doubt in your mind.

Just talked to my boy. He said he thinks Ravi may have flexed a bit LOL but realized he was hurt and started asking if he was ok and was to get up.

@Wdavis5;

Did your son get hurt as you suspected?  If so, hopefully not too bad and he's available for this weekend against MAC.


On another note, I noticed that the CSS QB is from Sublimity, Oregon.  I've never heard of the place but it sounds beautiful.

Yes Sir, Torn UCL done for season.

Damn, that's  shame.  I had to look it up to be sure as that's in the elbow and normally a throwing injury.  Odd injury in a football game, I would think.  Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that and wish him a good recovery.

Thank all of you all for the best wishes.  He was trying to get of the block of #3 and went down awkwardly. #3 got a taunting call on it as well.  He will see a specialist tomorrow and we will see for sure. The trainers yesterday was saying UCL so we will get the official word tomorrow. Ill be up there thursday but will only get to watch one son play now.

Its all good man. My son nor I have any ill feelings about it. Its football stuff happens and it looked like a clean play from #3 on film. He was just bigger and stronger. It does look like he may have flexed over him a tad but again that's football. I feel Ravi did nothing wrong. Hes a baller.

Can any of you johnnies tell the camera man ZOOM out.

I've sent emails...apparently they've not got the message.

I think one of my boys got hurt but couldnt see what happened. #6

Can any of you johnnies tell the camera man ZOOM out.

10 bux to watch the CSS / St j game online. I hope its as well broadcasted as the St olaf game was. They did a great job last weekend.

The blow-out game this week has to be St. Scholastica at St. John's. Even though the Johnnies lost their starting QB last week in their win over Gustavus, I won't be surprised to see their defense get another shut-out this season. Double Monkey Stomp, anyone?

I'm thinking that if I'm Gary I keep Backes in longer than I otherwise would in a game like this. Normally, I don't think you would want to expose your QB to injury if its a blowout, but I think Backes wants and needs as many game reps as he can get to sharpen up for the stretch run and, barring a catastrophic collapse, a playoff run.

I dont think we will be any where near your Qb. Your Lines dwarf our lines lol..  We have a 5'5 CB that i fully expect you to take advantage of.

What do you expect for a school that has over 6k enrollment.

No disrespect to CSS (those guys who upgrade a program are pioneers!), but I hope Backes gets one series in the third quarter and Cooper Downs gets some quality time as he steps into the backup role.

No disrespect taken.  Just hoping my 2 put on a decent game. lol

Quote from: SJU13 on October 25, 2021, 05:47:47 PM


Were not kidding about an underclassman dominate CSS team (pretty sure it's a 2:1 Fr:So, Jr, Sr ratio). Some guys with solid frames. Take their licks this year (and maybe next), put some weight on, and they'll start going toe to toe with those in the MIAC.

Yea Man we have like 4-5 Sr's. I think its like 48 Freshman. 18 of the 22 starters are Freshman.  Looking at ST Johns size you guys will be able to just line up and run the ball down the field. Our Qb play is bad. We run our offense so fast our defense cant stay off the field with all the 3 outs. I was telling my boys look at the small things. You are getting blown out by most of these teams Sr's and Jr's. In the 2nd half against the Freshman and Sophomore Back ups move the ball and score here and their. SO on paper the guys like yall your beating or competing with.  JUst got to get bigger and stronger for the next few years.
