My son got a letter from St. Olaf, with two to tickets to the STO v UST game. I gotta say they really do a good job of trying to get high school players.

Two Tommies were in the parking lot trying to get the Ferrari open with a coat hanger.  The first one says, "I can't get this door unlocked!" and the second replies, "Well, you better hurry.  It's starting to rain and the top is down!"

I reckon they should think twice on that idea, unless they are trying to recruit the best athletes into UST(d).  STO is going to get kicked so hard in that game that only argument STO coaches will be able to make is, "We suck so bad that if you can lace your shoes you get a spot on the squad."

A Tommie girl had driven daddy's Range Rover to the mall only to discover while in the parking ramp that she had not only left her new iPhone 6 in the center console but that the keys were also locked inside the vehicle.She thought really hard at what she should do and finally decided that best thing she could do was to ask Buffy,her BFF, who was inside the Range Rover, to use the iPhone 6 to call her daddy's administrative assistant, Tad, and find out what he would do if he locked his keys,phone & BFF inside a Range Rover........

They might be doing a good job of trying.  Clearly that good job is not resulting in talented players landing in Northfield.

Well, let's hope our ability to make halftime adjustments won't be affected by an ambulance blocking the locker room entrance because they're loading up some idiot girl that has alcohol poisoning again.

I'd say there is a good chance of that happening...again.

Speaking of happening again - Will there be a 15 minute on-field presentation of the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award at halftime? I don't remember hearing who won the 2013 award. Based on the slobbing that happened last year I assume St Glenn was honored once again.

It's possible it wasn't the drunk blocking the locker room that resulted in the lack of halftime adjustments. I would wager it was the fact the head coach was out on the field and not in the locker room that was the problem.

While I didn't exactly agree with the timing of that presentation, my guess is the OC and DC probably do the majority of the tinkering during halftime.

Also, an SJU fan upset about having to witness the opposing team's coach get perpetually patted on the back is hilarious.

I have no problem with a guy being honored for winning what I think is a prestigious award.  What I do find humorous is that the prior year's awards are re-presented along with the current one.  And that it it is done twice.  First at an SJU/UST basketball game and then again at the SJU/UST football game.

Maybe at the game next year in Collegeville SJU should re-present the four national championship trophies.  Not really SJU's style, however I'm sure the all the Tommies would appreciate the kind gesture of showing them what football national championship trophy looks like.

When personalized license plates were first introduced in the late 70's a friend of Maniac's had what he thought was a great idea for a peronalized plate on his Cadillac.  Remember, it was still the 70's.  Domestics were still cool and CST student's and graduates were still saying "CST is the Cadillac of MIAC schools, similar to Boston College in their conference."

So off the two of them hurried to the DMV, took a number and patiently waited.  Finally, the friend's number was called.  He confidently strode up to the woman at the DMV and made his request:  "I'd like a license plate that says College of St. Thomas, if that's seven characters or less."  She patiently informed him he was too late, there had already been multiple requests for that plate.

OK, here's one for you guys...3 Tommie girls walked out of a bar...

No wait. Nevermind. No one will ever believe this one.

This made me think of this one...

Two Tommie girls walked into a bar.  Their Bennie friend ducked.

I think the "mojo" left the building?

John no doubt received his fair share of attention - the majority of which came from outside organizations, like ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. However, I don't recall he or SJU acknowledging said recognition in the middle of a game. I could be wrong but the timing was clearly picked to try and embarrass SJU, in front of a huge crowd. And if what ROR said is true, that he was already honored at a previous event, it becomes even more rippable.

I also seem to remember John entering the field well behind his players, not amongst them in the front. Who knows, maybe John led them out during his early days but I'm assuming not.

...and slinking off of the field immediately post-game.
