We haven't made any upgrades to the message board in months.

I haven't heard this but that doesn't mean much. What browser are you using?

[Pat Coleman]

Does anyone else have a problem with composing a message after you have quoted someone?  When I quote someone and attempt to add my message at the bottom the line that I am typing on keeps moving up and down a few lines with every keystroke.  When I type a character I immediately see it and then it disappears as I scroll up two or three lines.  This problem may have coincided with the new upgrade but I am not certain.

Pat, has anyone else reported having this problem? 

Someone read this post and PM'd me about having experienced this when using Quick Reply. Is that what you're doing?

Pat - It happens to me all the time, whether I'm using IE or Safari.  It happens when the message, including any message to which one is replying that is being quoted and thus appears in the message, exceeds the size of the text window.

Johnnie-Auggie game story/recap up now at www.JohnnieFootball.com

You forgot to mention that Touchdown Purple Tommy picked the exact score of the game in his pregame article.  Way to go, TDPT!   And now comes the week TDPT has been waiting for since last year's game.  He's gotta be picking the Toms by two or three touchdowns at least. 

I was trying to stay professional,objective and not to give TDPT any more reasons to gloat that he hit the score right on the number. If I know TDPT like I do,I'm pretty much thinking he'll be predicting the score of the SJU/UST game at something like 73-3 in favor of the Tomcats. I also have a feeling he will be taking action on the Stagg Bowl. TDPT will probably allow all interested parties to take the field (all teams except UST) and he'll take the Tomcats,give 24 points and 10-1 odds. In his purple tainted mind,this is a better investment than owning the Cow Pie Bingo stand at the Stearns County Fair 

On another note it was nice to meet & visit with Auggiedoggie57 yesterday at the game.

It was great to meet you as well! Too bad the game wasn't closer, but I suppose it is what it is.

This should be an interesting weekend, wish I could be there to see it live. Good luck, I gotta say, I'm pulling for the Johnnies. Couldn't tell you why, but my god do I hate the Tommies

Was happening to me today also, using IE. Just thought it was Johnnie sabotage!

GO JOHNNIES!!! TOMMIES SUCK!!!

Now that we have that out of the way, does anyone want to offer me a line on the game for a friendly wager?  We could put... oh, I dunno...  a case of a refreshing adult beverage on it?  I'll even take the Tommies, and will take my winnings in PBR.

As far as the last time the Johnnies were underdogs at home, a few games come to mind.  Last year against #15 St. Thomas was pretty close to even (SJU won 20-17 in OT), as was 2007 against #14 St. Olaf (a 30-29 SJU win).  Probably 2004 against #18 Concordia (the Cobbers won 21-20) and almost assuredly 2001 against #5 Bethel (SJU won a squeaker, 34-0).  Maybe UW-Eau Claire and #22 UW-Stevens Point in 2001, too. 

Looking back through the past results, St. John's played 15 games in 2000 and only 4 of them were in Collegeville: Augsburg, Macalester, Hamline, and Concordia.  Not a great year to be a Johnnie season ticket holder. 

Speaking of Collegeville, I'll be making my triumphant return this Saturday.  You're welcome.

I don't know how much stock I'd put in TDT's food recommendations for your next vacation.  The poor feller couldn't even eat a couple of tailgate brats in Kansas City without puking all over and being on his period for the rest of the week. 

On the topic of St. John's not having their schedule and results on this site, I'd also like to point out that they weren't listed at the top of the scoreboard page with the rest of the Top 25 teams last week.  Pat, just because you didn't vote for them and don't care for the program doesn't mean St. John's isn't a Top 25 team.  Pretty classless to let your personal feelings stand in the way of the dissemination of information like that. 

In closing,

GO JOHNNIES!!! TOMMIES SUCK!!!

I believe that finally got corrected.

I don't know what to think about the UST v SJU game...we'll learn if UST is as talented as they seem.

I for one don't question their talent,the Tomcats are very talented,it's a matter of what they will see on film from the Auggie game will resemble what they see at SJU 10-2-10 and how they adjust/react to the wrinkles John & his staff put in for next week. John Gagliardi is the X factor and anyone who doesn't believe this is foolish.

I may be foolish, but I really don't think Gagliardi is the X factor this weekend or really any weekend. If you're referring to the system he's built around him with the coaches and culture, then I can agree with that, but otherwise no.

Because he's nothing but a figurehead and really isn't involved with the team at all?  Yeah

I hate the Tommies too...

They can pour all the concrete they want on the UST campus and it will never approach what the good Lord created naturally on the Collegeville campus.

Ok here is the full culinary report for Veek's benefit.

Thurs:

Lunch at Elephant & Castle...decent open face turkey sammich with a thirst quenching lemonade
Dinner at Ella's Woodfired Pizza on 9th St.  Thought this was fantastic and tasted even better with a few ice cold Yuenglings on tap.  Lots of talent there for the Happy Hour!!!

Fri:
Dinner at the Nationals game.  Had a famous Ben's Chili Bowl chili dog.  Pretty outstanding if I do say so myself.  The original location on U Street is an institution...

Sat:
Lunch in Georgetown at Martin's Tavern sat in the booth where JFK proposed to Jackie Onassis.  Pretty tasty soft shell crab sammich.  
Dinner at Legal Seafoods of Boston Mass fame.  Had an absolutely off the hook dish called the Louisiana Catfish Matrimony.  Hoping Veek will expand his tailgating menu to include this.  Catfish, shrimp, and Andouille sausage served with Jasmine rice and fresh green beans.  Pretty orgasmic.

Sun:
Dinner at Dulles.  Had the famous Five Guys burger.  Tasty but certainly not in the same hemisphere as In n Out in California.

Veek:  Please advise if you have further questions or concerns...

RE: Ben's Chili Bowl

Met the owner there and purchased some swag (magnet and shot glass). Learned that only Bill Cosby eats there for free.

I thought some monks dug it out of a cranberry marsh.

I don't know the difference.   Edit - however, it's when I use the "quote" function

[tmerton]

Why show up for this game? 

Love the statements in red at intro and closing, coupled with your offer to take the Toms in a game wager.  TDPT must be rubbing off on you.

GO JOHNNIES!!! TOMMIES SUCK!!!
