From the Shooter this morning...

The new defensive coordinator at the University of St. Thomas will be alum Blane Tetreault.


Question: Does this make the purple team at Summit and Cretin a threat to hold the Js to under 40 this year?

Johnnie Red: Can we get OAS to direct traffic in that obscene orange coat this year at the Stiffyfest?

No.

[Whoa Nelly]

A little birdie told me some of Charley Walters' ramblings are just plain nuts.

I would love to see an intellectual battle of wits between Sir Sidney and Super Shooter. 

Sorry for proposing a football related question on this board, but how does everyone see the MIAC from top to bottom in 2006? 

[Johnnie Red]

Whoa Nelly, I would go with SJU at the top, then the Cobbers, and anything after that really doesn't matter. Call it a repeat of the `05 season. I do hope the Gusties improve this season.

TDT, I'm sure OAS will be showing up with the orange coat. Whether he will be directing traffic is another story.

So I report to class this morning and the person sitting right next to me is from Illinois and has the same last name. What are the chances of that happening? Must be my karma rating.

I have to take viagra just to be able to sit up straight.

They give it to the old guys in the nursing home just to keep them from rolling out of bed.

Poor man's Viagra: 2 popsicle sticks and some duct tape.

Old guy walks into the pharmacy and asks the Pharmacist for 1 Viagra, but cut it in 10 pieces. The pharmacist is puzzled and explains to the guy that one-tenth of a pill is not going to do much for his sex life. The old guy says, "Well, at my age, I don't care much about sex anymore. I just want it to stick out far enough so I don't pee on my shoes."

An old man, Mr. Goldstein, was living the last of his life in a
nursing home. One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.
>
Nurse Tracy asked if there was anything wrong.
>
"Yes, Nurse Tracy," said Mr. Goldstein, "my private part died today,
and I am very sad."
>
Knowing her patients were forgetful and sometimes a little crazy, she
replied, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Goldstein, please accept my
condolences."
>
The following day, Mr. Goldstein was walking down the hall with his
private part hanging out of his pajamas, when he met Nurse Tracy.
>
Mr. Goldstein," she said, "you shouldn't be walking down the hall
like that. Please put your private part back inside your pajamas."
>
"But, Nurse Tracy," replied Mr. Goldstein, "I told you yesterday that
my private part died."
>
Yes!, you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your
pajamas?" asked Nurse Tracy.
>
"Well," he replied, "today's the viewing."

Their last name was Red also?

I have not posted in a while (ok stop cheering) but while I was at the Frozen Four, on the video board inside the Bradley Center, the NCAA played a video montage, with several SJU highlights of the Stagg Bowl in '03, including Theis' TD and Zahur interception-very cool.
BTW: how is everyone??

[Touchdown Tommy]

ROR and his old buddy 56321 posting back to back...Coincidence?  I think not

If it is going to be a true repeat of 2005 I would have to be at the Minnesota/Wisconsin game and watch another vintage Ski-U-Mah collapse, only to get home and listen to a horrendous ending to the Cobbs/Johnnies game.  It didn't help that I had started tailgating at 7:30 AM and had one of those Metrodome Hangovers all afternoon/early evening either.  What a kick to the junk that was...

Here's an article about the Johnnies' first spring practice in many, many years.

That's gotta look a little strange when the offense lines up aginst the defense with no ball! Yet if the defense weren't there the could have a ball. Wow, The NCAA out did themselves with that one!

[janesvilleflash]

The players should be used to playing without a ball. Their last game, they didn't have one very much, and when they did, they dropped it like it was a hot coal, time after time after ........

[Kilted Rat]

This is true, nobody is an expert in playing with balls like the WIAC.

Who's going to be third in line?  Be #3!

Who's going to be third in line?  Be #3!

Still more proof that unless you're Davy Crockett or Chuck Norris, you can't stare down a bear...

Speaking of bears (oh, them Yoopers ...)


A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette.

They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard.  A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment  They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to  find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap  me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "Well brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I Found me a bear.  And then I began to read to my bear  from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took hold of him and we began to wrestle.  We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN  another until we came to a creek.  So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul and just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the time praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed.  He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him.  He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start things out with my bear".
