F***ing Australia.  Some of you may have noticed my post where I mentioned camping with #'s 2 & 3 and a bunch of their school friends on the weekend.  Well, a damned spider bit me on my left eyebrow and this is the result:



Damned painful and growing more swollen every day.  I expect it to be fully closed tomorrow.  Click to embiggen, if you dare.

As your doctor I recommend you drink heavily, hold the cold beer bottle or can against the bite for 2 minutes and then chugg and repeat.

That is unquestionably the best medical advice of all time!!

I'm doing a little research for my blog regarding the UST/UWO game.

When was the last time (prior to 2010) UST knocked off St. John's? D3football doesn't go beyond 1999...so I know it has before that.

Much appreciated

Tommiegun, that was '08. We lost in '09 up there in OT (kicker missed a few FG's that could have prevented OT).

For those of you out of state Tommie fans traveling to the game this Saturday, the Crowne Plaza St. Paul Riverfront in downtown on the Mississippi River is offering an $89.00 rate for the fans (Tommies or Titans) for this weekend (Fri & Sat)?  It's about a 10 minute scenic drive to UST.  They can just call 651.292.1900 and ask for the NCAA Football Fan Block.

Safe Travels Everyone!

Some tweets from the SJU luncheon. From Frank. Hoping the person with NFL ties is Tim Brewster.

Frank Rajkowski ‏@rajko1973
First commenter touting a candidate ... Mike Grant

Joe Mucha: We're seeking 20 million to sink into our athletic facilities and we expect a payback equal to ST and they spent 60

Lots of pointed questions on financial resources, facilities, new coaches' role

Joe Mucha alludes to candidate with NFL ties ... Interesting

Tom Stock: 17-18 applicants. 60 inquiries. 'We expect a lot of traffic to come in in the next few days'

Mucha: We were the best practice. We need to take a complete relook at our program and we 're looking for a coach willing to do that

AD Tom Stock: We have to be tireless and change the way we recruit ... Ratchet up staff ... Recruit more nationally

Bernie Kukar wants to know why there are not more football people on committee

Linnemann: I guess what we're looking for is old St. John's in a new way

Linnemann: It starts with the head coach. But that's just one aspect. It's not like we can expect different results operating at net zero ..and just plugging in new head coach

Next up: Tom Linnemann reading speech of napkin

Becker: We'll find a great coach but we have to back it up

Scott Becker: If nothing had changed in the MIAC in the past 35 years, it would be fine. But things have changed, especially at (UST)

Speakers going 5 minutes. Next up is Scott Becker ('77)

Bob Gavin: New coach should embrace school's values, academic profile of institution and field winning teams.

First speaker: 1962 graduate Bob Gavin, former SJU player and former Macalester president

Search chair Joe Mucha: 'We felt a forum like this was in the interest of everybody in the St. John's community' pic.twitter.com/zYMC1Pc3

One could say Mike Grant has NFL ties.

[retagent]

Anybody else notice that the 4 teams in the Semi-finals are all 13 - 0? I know this shouldn't be shocking, but it seems that usually somewhere along the line, a "sleeper" will get the upset.

Bielema to Arkansas...WOW.

[faunch]

Bielema to Arkansas...WOW.

Best news I've heard all day...never could stand him.  A good friend was an aquaintance of his as an undergrad at Iowa.  She basically considered him an a_hole then.

[Retired Old Rat]

Bielema to Arkansas...WOW.

That's a story that was leaked to cover for the truth.  He's moving to St. John's.  He's already got the correct color wardrobe.
