Quote from: DuffMan on February 26, 2024, 03:16:18 PMPretty wild that there is outdoor baseball being played at SJU this afternoon!

In '91 we got a little over three feet of snow on Halloween night.  The school actually stopped classes for a day or two.  Dominos even stopped delivery.  We were fortunate that the cafeteria workers managed to get to campus somehow or we would have all mummified in the underclass dorms waiting for someone to feed us.

That Saturday a basketball team from Brazil was scheduled to play at SJU and then travel up to play in Moorhead or Fargo against either Concordia or one of the other colleges up that way. Their drive up I-94 took several hours and they apparently learned how to dig and push out other automobiles on the way up. Surprisingly the game was played on Saturday night in the Warner Palestra.

Their "exposure" to Minnesota and a northern climate must be something those guys never forgot.
SJU bought Bo Did's and served it in the Butcher Shop after the game. Unfortunately many of the SJU players didn't get the memo about Benedictine and central Minnesota hospitality and many of the sandwiches were eaten by SJU players before the guests arrived.

What was the Butcher Shop?  Did you get there by horse and buggy?

Want to venture a guess what was the only tap beer selection at the Butcher Shop?

No idea...who was Angus?

First name was Bernhard...from Detroit.

Those of us from the Der Keller generation enjoyed two shades of 3.2 Schmidt if I recall.

And congrats and thanks, Pat and crew, for getting the boards back!

Winter sports are now officially concluded for Durenberger Trophy purposes. Here's how things stand as we head into the spring where baseball, tennis, and outdoor track & field will end the 2023-24 season.



Things are looking to come right down to the wire between Gustavus and Saint John's (and Bethel could keep things close as well).

The Johnnies have the lead, but keeping it will be a tall task.

Gustavus is looking for their 35th consecutive MIAC Tennis Championship (and their 51st of the last 54 seasons), and the Golden Gusties are looking to defend their 2023 MIAC Baseball Championship.

The Johnnies are the defending MIAC Outdoor Track & Field Champions.

Buckle up.
