Man, I can't wait for the Dolphins-Lions tilt today.  :P

Joey Harrington returns to Detroit. Now there's a story line!  ;D

Happy Thanksgiving to the MIACPP!

Nothing says Thanksgiving quite like Joey Harrington :-[

I do not wish to get PC in trouble with intellectual copyrights but I could not register to link up this other cute Johnny G tidbit from Spokane Spokesman Review. If it must be deleted then try and go to the paper sight yourselves. It's about the one 1975 meeting of Whitworth/St. Johns

Now it's "Blind Date Bowl – the Sequel." Only 31 years in the making.

Saturday's second-round game in the NCAA Division III football
playoffs isn't the first time Saint John's University of Minnesota and
Whitworth College have met at the Pine Bowl – though the first one was
a true accident.

In 1975, the Pirates were scheduled to play Whitman on homecoming the
last weekend in October. But on Monday before the game, Whitman coach
Ken Woody called and forfeited. Injuries had left the Missionaries
with only 20 available players.


Naturally, it being homecoming and with other activities planned,
Whitworth was desperate to play anyway. The Pirates solicited Cal
State Los Angeles, Valley City State of North Dakota and even the
University of Washington – for a JV team – but all declined.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Pirates looked to the Minnesota
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, a league with nine teams that
left one with an open date each week. That week it happened to be
Saint John's – and coach John Gagliardi, then in only his 22nd year on
the job, said he'd come, as long as it didn't cost his school
anything. Whitman chipped in some of the $7,500 travel cost and
Whitworth's boosters covered the rest.

"It's the Blind Date Bowl," said Hugh Campbell, Whitworth's coach at the time.

A Pirates fumble at midfield allowed SJU to punch in a second-quarter
touchdown behind the running of fullback Tim Schmitz. Steve Wilson
answered with a 26-yard field goal, but that 7-3 score held up for the
Johnnies.

"All I remember was it was a deluge," Gagliardi said. "I never saw so
much rain in my life. We didn't even go out on the field for pregame –
we stayed in the gym.

"I thought they were building the ark."

–John Blanchette

piperinsider, I will  be at the 9 man game to hand out the trophies and medals. Always nice to be at the Dome by 8:00 a.m. I agree with you that Becker should win the game with Glencoe-Silver Lake.

Bennie- you had to put up with his college career too :'(

After the fiasco last week, the Ducks would welcome him back! People have been calling for the coach to start the third string quarterback tomorrow...a freshman! That is how ugly last week was. I have a feeling that the turkeys today aren't the only poultry that will be roasted this week. :-[

I have the Hamms and red cups (so you all feel at home) in the trunk and will be headed out early tomorrow morning. Safe travels to everyone (myself included)! ;D

Hey, repete, sounds like you're familiar with the Sunburned Country as well.  How long ago were your travels?

To all attending the game this weekend, good travels and loud cheers  Let's hope for a mistake free game.

FYI -  I hear the Pirates one up the Tommies in that they do the physically impossible.  The Pirates both suck and blow at the same time!

Even though I'm still stuffed to the rafters, I couldn't pass up the post from OJ and fail to remind people of the Vegemite sandwich reference in the old Men At Work hit.

Mr Prosecutor - I could regale you with many stories of my time working in East St Louis. One had to do with some "dudes" playing B-Ball at an outdoor court, when one took offense to what he thought was a foul. When others begged to differ, he walked over to his car and pulled his piece out of his "glove department" and proceeded to give new meaning to the phrase "two shot foul."

FYI, anyone in the US that needs to get a Vegemite fix need to get it on the black market since it has been banned by the FDA.  Not sure that I'd want to try the stuff anyway, looks like tar in a jar....

FYI, just got a call from #2 son.  The team flew out of St. Cloud tonight and just landed in Spokane.  So that Johnnies are in Washington already!  That will give them time to get adjusted and maybe make some snowmen (or icemen - it's apparently sleeting there).

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Well, even though I am like the only person alive on here this morning, certain obligations need to be met.

Wake up MIACPP!

It's a playoff Anna Friday!  ;D

GO JOHNNIES!!!

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.
