FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Did St. Johns even produce a 2011 highlight film?  I know they did one for the 2010 season, but I haven't seen anything for last season.

No, they did not.
Besides the decided lack of highlights from last season, I'm pretty sure the student that produced the videos for the football team/Athletic Media Relations Office graduated and was never replaced.

The American Football Coaches Association Magazine did a profile on Caruso.  Click the link below to read it:

In other news, Waldvogel is tearing it up in Germany. 

Fritz Waldvogel compiled 47 touchdowns and 7,433 all-purpose yards -– receptions, rushes, returns -- in his 50-game St. Thomas football career. Despite his many outstanding performances, Waldvogel reached 240 all-purpose yards in a game just three times as a Tommie.

Now he's accomplished that stat in each of his first two games with the Schwabisch Hall Unicorns in the German Football League. Waldvogel had 296 all-purpose yards in his debut game, and came back with 240 in game two. He has scored eight touchdowns to boot.

Waldvogel just had a bye week in preparation for the Unicorns' game in Munich next Saturday. According to his Twitter site, he traveled last week for some sightseeing in Rome and Florence, Italy.

Besides missing his family and roommates, his tweets reveal one other thing about his summer/fall locale: "The first thing I learned in Germany: The driving here is nuts."

The convergence of superior and inferior talent can be remarkable thing. And that's not a knock on Fritz. It really says more about the level of competition he faced in DIII/MIAC. He's obviously a great athlete doing some remarkable things on the field over there. I'd love to see him get a swing at a little higher level of competition.

It's the dog days of summer. And, according to weather.com, it looks like a nice day in Collegeville (74 degrees and sunny).
I'll take that any day over what we've got down here at Ft. Benning (91 degrees and miserably humid with 100 degree heat and massive humidity in the forecast for Friday--thank you, Tropical Storm Debby).

#1 had her appendix out last night. All very exciting.

In other distractions, an add for a movie I've never seen, Wild, Wild West, was just on TV. Selma Hyack is one hot pocket.

Fun!  Did they get it out before it ruptured?  My wife's ruptured several years ago...that was fun.

[DuffMan]

The field at Clemens is looking good!

Yeah, all very routine. If the operation didn't happen so quickly and if it weren't your kid then it would almost be a snooze.

Good to hear.  I hope she mends up quickly.

Let's hope the product on the field this fall is markedly improved.

One would hope so!

Only another six weeks or so before the Johnnies report for camp!

That depresses me because summer slips by way too quickly.
