When the Johnnies' games are actually streamed on the road I rarely watch and I'm guessing it'd be the same at home.

I'd probably watch if I didn't go due to weather, but the majority of the time, if I don't go, I'm working on things around home (or camping, or fishing, or hunting).  For that, the radio is the ticket.
I've tried watching road games a couple of times and always turned the video off to listen to VOJ which I found more exciting. I probably would still just listen but think watching should be an option.

do you guys also huddle around the radio at night to listen to all the newest dramas?

Not since 'Inner Sanctum' and 'One Man's Family' left the airwaves.  :P

Us Johnnies are big fans of the Fireside Chats series.

Call it old-fashioned.  I call it having my priorities in order.

Is that a smokefest euphemism?

Plus a video stream that I could see with my own eyes would ruin the illusion that SJU opponents get away with more should-have-been-called-but-weren't penalties than anyone, the Johnnies defense leads the nation in near-interceptions and are the victims of the worst spots of the ball in the country.

If I'm traveling, or the weather is bad, or I have something going on that day, I like the option of being able to watch the webcast.  Eau Claire game this year is a good example.  Hard to get a flavor for what the rain is really doing to the game on the radio.  Especially when VOJ claims it only rains when SJU has the ball.  ;-)

Hey OZ - I just found out that
Movember" originated in Australia. Are you growing a 'stache this month?

I didn't realize is started in Oz.  No, I don't and never have. I look and feel like a doofus with a 'stache.  What about you?

Not trying to state the obvious, but even at my tender age ;D, it took me a while to realize I could turn off the video sound, and listen to voice and the crew. Unfortunately, it's usually not synced in terms of time.

Had one for a long time (a cop thing I guess) then shaved when I retired. Growing one only for the month. I'm also offended as a member of the  "Doofus Community."

Has anybody have an update regarding Ayrton Scott not playing this Saturday for the first half??? Has this been confirmed ???

Thanks in advance! ;D
Nothing has been confirmed that I know of. Usually news out of Augsburg is hard to obtain and that is by design I believe. Keep 'em guessing CT! I am waiting to see if he is on the two deep roster this afternoon myself.

Just as I thought... trying to confirm my picks :P Ayrton is a talented kid and his performance will affect the out come for sure, but to give the Auggies (+29.5) vs. UST ??? ??? I think the odds makers know something ;D

Good Luck OldAuggie... Let me know, if you don't mind when the two deep comes out!

Thanks!
Looks like he is good to go!   8-)

I grew this pushbroom for Halloween last year.  Of course, I had to add some Just For Men because I am a bona fide redbeard.  Now, I am working on my gold prospector look.
