Sorry to interrupt the other discussion but any thoughts on this?  There will be a major change in Olaf...

From Shooter today, take it for what Shooter's worth, which isn't a single can of Hamm's in most cases...

It will be interesting to see whether Mal Scanlan, who was highly successful during a five-year head football coaching tenure at St. Thomas, is interested in returning to his alma mater to replace Don Roney, who resigned Tuesday. Or whether popular former Gophers offensive line coach Gordie Shaw, who is highly regarded at St. Thomas, would be interested.

There was a time when Mike Grant, who has coached Eden Prairie to five large-school state championships and has a master's degree in athletic administration from St. Thomas, was interested in the Tommies' job. But he's no longer interested.

Wow, I'm still in shock about getting a home game on Saturday.  Johnnie Nation has to be happy. 

Congrats to Bethel on a good win.  The game didn't strike me as a well played affair but like some others, it was tough to watch standing in the corner of the endzone.  It'll be interesting to see if Bethel can get their first playoff win this year.  I think most people are predicting it so does that just add more pressure? 

The SJU offense looked lost throughout the game.  No big plays with the exception of the Weber touchdown that conveniently happened right in front of us.  The guys need to get better execution next week or they'll be in trouble. 

Pre-game was great, thanks to everyone for the hospitality.  Nice to meet some of the guys and I look forward to meeting more this coming week.  Bring on the cold for those nice Southern boys!!

Moondog: "Talented" Bennies would be a good start  8) 8).  Otherwise cold beverages, brats, hot dogs, buns, condiments, cookies, chips, etc. 

Talented Bennies...I'm not sure what I can pull together on such short notice...

I'll do my best to round up some food items!

For said tailgate at Bethel tomorrow morning, does one need to bring anything along?  Let us know and we'll try to bring more Johnnie faithful to the party.  Looking forward to getting a game face on...

You didn't happen to attend SJU in the late 80's?  Are you by chance a graduate of Mankato Loyola?

Nope, proud graduate of 2001 however I do live in Mankato now, as one might gather from my name.

Nice win for the Johnnies.  Had issues with the audio all day so thanks to everyone with the updates on the board.
