This version, Oz?

What would it take to get you back to the States?  I'm thinking of seeing whether we can put together an offer.

Sick of seeing soccer players taking a dive?  Check out this ARF umpire - he could give lessons!

Hi Clark!!

Have you booked your flight to MSP for the Johnnie football luncheon on August 5th?  TDT would be honored to have you as a guest at his table...

Hope everyone is having a great summer.  Just wanted to put the link on here on the "Update the Jake" project.  The field turf is completely finished except for the 50 yd line logo and endzone logos.  Also, I see that Tyler Roehl has signed on as an assistant coach at concordia.

Looks nice CN
Does that leave Bethel and the two Northfield schools as the remaining MIAC schools with grass?

Looks nice, CN - but what about the locker rooms?  Didn't you know we're now in a locker room arms race?  UST found a Phil Knight to help them take the clear lead.  Their new digs even include "antibacterial, antimicrobial surface protectants" to help the Tommies keep their coeds at bay!  The rest of us obviously are just playing catch-up.

The wife doesn't think so, but I'll ask the judge himself.  See what he says.

Football season must be drawing nigh. Yesterday Dusty emailed me a photo from last year, today John Quinlivan hustled me into buying one of the coaches' lunch at the luncheon, last night I had to throw on a blanket, and the Hamm's is tasting especially good lately...

Good for John.  You'll spend twice that on gas just getting to the Fest.

Tmert,

The locker rooms will be updated in the near future.  I have heard they will expand it to a two story building with the possibility of a weight room on the 2nd floor with glass windows overlooking the football field.

No questions.
One comment- Monmouth had the best QB-where did that get them in the playoffs? Teams win championships, not one or two players.

I finally broke down and introduced myself to Coach Caruso today.  I've seen him at my daughter's swimming lessons the past couple of days and my older brother knows him from various camps and clinics.   I have to admit that he's a very personable guy...for a Tommie.
It is also obvious that the Johnnies really need to keep up the pace on their recruiting efforts and not rest on past achievements.  Caruso is very energetic, positive, and upbeat and I can see why a high school kid would want to play for him.  I told him about www.Johnniefootball.com and he said he would check it out.  

I'm already working on my penance for such blasphemous comments:
Each day until Oct. 2nd I will be saying:
4 - Glory Be to John
27 - Hail Gagliardis
471 - Our Johns (add one for each after each victory this fall until October 2nd)

Faunch,

After telling him about JFC,did he mention the $150 M +UST has received in the past 10 years from donors fueling the building boom on campus
