Sorry guys for being away and not giving updates on the Tommie's destruction of the Turin Jaguars. I had to cut my wonderful trip short, my father got sick and finally past yesterday so I am in Boston with family and friends to tend to his passing. I will be back soon!

Amen.

I've almost finished The Warrior Elite, hazzben.  I reckon I'll knock off the rest on the trip home tonight.  A good, easy read.  Enjoyable.  Thanks for the tip.

Interesting how often it happens that after a big game there is a big letdown.  Both Geelong and Port Adelaide, after playing the game of the season (so far), offered up absolute stinkers and lost to perennial cellar dwellers this weekend.

Hawthorn, after a mediocre start to their threepeat campaign, have now put together a three-game winning streak and sit fifth in the standings, one game out of the top four (which is where you need to finish to have a good shot at a championship) and two games out of the top two (where you really need to finish to get a proper run at the championship).  In the next four weeks we play 4th, 2nd and 1st in the standings so it's a chance to make up some ground fast.  We'll see how we're sitting threepeat-wise a month from now.

THANKS!!! Everybody, sitting at the black rose with family having a pint, reflecting! Thanks again for the kind words😄

The Johnnies found themselves a gem of a football and basketball player in this Streit kid from Eden Valley-Watkins.

6"6" 230 lbs and moves like a gazelle.

If I have my Stearns County family history straight (there are a lot of forks in the roads in many families) I believe he is a cousin of former Johnnie  All American DT Kyle Schroeder. He could be real good. I am very positive about this incoming class.
Gary & staff have been doing a real good job on the recruiting trail.

The Stearns County family history trail is very well entwined....if you know what I mean!
They don't all look alike for no reason at all...if you know what I mean!!!

I saw those guys in Stearns County when I was pheasant hunting a few years ago. Their hunting dog appeared to have  a higher COI (Coefficient Of Inbreeding) but it was close.

I opened The Sweet Season, which I haven't looked at for at least 10 years, over the weekend as an off-season time killer (my parents recently sent me a copy). I'm up to the Concordia chapter where the Johnnies got their season back after the loss to Bethel the week before. I had forgotten how much history and lore of St John's was in the book. It's a good read that should be undertaken every five years, I think. Ten years is too long a time between drinks.

I do have to say that it strikes me far stronger now than before, maybe because I now have two daughters in the teens, but there is a snowball's chance in hell that my girls will ever end up in a situation of dating football players. Particularly quarterbacks.

The Chaska Cubs will be hosting the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Night on Friday, July 17, at 7:30 pm when the Cubs host the Victoria Vics at Athletic Park. The ballpark is located at 725 West 1st Street in Chaska. Any students or alums of the MIAC schools who show up for the game with a shirt on from their school will get into the game free.

Jim Smith, SJU's basketball coach for the past 51 seasons who just retired, will be throwing out the first pitch at the game. He is Minnesota's all-time leader in college basketball wins.

I have literally just loaded that onto my phone. I'm looking forward to it now.

EDIT:  I watched the first half flying to Sydney this morning. Maybe I'm a troglodyte, but the dinner scene is the only good, unpredictable one so far.

EDIT: I finished The Sweet Season on the plane as well.  It was better than the movie, although it did put me the mood to smile at the hopelessly unaware Carleton jocks in Whiplash.
