Also, Brace Hemmelgarn did one hell of a job capturing the events of the day in Collegeville on Saturday:

I think I may have to drop him a line to see if I can pay him to have a few of these photos blown up so I can have them framed for my man cave.

Brace is exceptionally talented.  I told him Saturday I was jealous.  And I meant it.  He's also a great guy.

I asked him if Joe Mauer ever did the post game dance thing.  Apparently Joe can bust a move.

Amazing shots...cannot be duplicated anywhere.  Maybe Bruce will donate to the program for marketing purposes.

By the way...Caruso ordered pizza tonight but he gypped me on the the tip.  I had to bribe the delivery driver $50 bucks to take his place.

I'm a little surprised that Caruso's action's continues to get under the skin of so many Johnnies.  Holding hands coming onto the field, bringing the non-traveling players entourage, calling the late timeout with the subsequent delay of game, being hoisted onto shoulders after the game, and taking the picture on the SJU logo should be expected by now.  He has a different coaching philosophy than most Johnnies are accustomed to.  While Fasching likes to be in the background teaching humility and character, Caruso likes the limelight, glitz, and glamour that can come with college football.  Who's to judge if one is right or wrong or better than the other, seems like it's a personal preference.  Maybe this adds to the current rivalry.  I guess if the Tommie players (and their parents) are okay with what Caruso is teaching and if the Johnnie players (and their parents) are okay with what Fasching is teaching all is good.

This is close to what I was getting at in my post that referenced the Solheim Cup. It had nothing to do with the playing of the game, just the mindset of those on opposite sides of the argument about the picture at mid field.

So I was driving the in-laws to the airport a couple weeks ago and I noticed this unfortunately named business as I waited in traffic. Look at the logo on the blue building to the left.



EDIT: turns out it's a 25 year old business. Bad luck, dude.

With white letters on black background too. And right next to EDEN of all things.

I'm sure some of you watch Archer. (If you don't, you should give it a try. Juvenile humor at it's best) I was wondering if they would keep the name of their company as ISIS. They did.

Yeah, if you're okay with a your kid playing for a coach that double parks, puts his seat all the way back on airplanes, chews with his mouth open, bounces checks, exposes magic tricks, squeezes from the middle of the toothpaste, is a 9/11 truther, Holocaust denier and all around TERRIBLE guy, then Glenn Caruso is the coach for you. 

If you want a humble guy who has NEVER given a television, radio or newspaper interview, has personally attended every player's birthday party, mows John Gagliardi's lawn, goes to church every day and twice on Sunday, doesn't take a salary, and devotes one practice day a week to having his players volunteer at the Salvation Army, then Gary Fasching is the man for you.

I mean, who's to judge which one is right or wrong? But for me, if it's not precious downhome Mayberry-esque kitschy Americana it's WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG!

An emotive Italian from New York, that donates large sums of money to St. Jude's, has his players volunteer at children's hospitals and Habitat for Humanity, has players nominated for the AFCA Good Works team, completely turned a program from mediocre to national powerhouse in a few short years who also promotes his program? Is this what the MIAC has come to? It's only okay to promote your program if you do an aww-shucks interview with a very old man who started coaching at your school in the 1890s. THAT IS THE ONLY RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS.

Wow.  I never said one way was right and another way was wrong, I simply pointed out the two coaches have different coaching styles, quality of human being was never addressed.  Gary does do the obligatory interview, but he is more in the background whereas Glenn is more out front leading his team and riding shoulders.  Obviously each of their different coaching styles is working for them as they both have been very successful.  Whichever coaching style anyone prefers is an individual choice, which you have illustrated much better than I did.
