FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[SJUrube]

Big news broke from Collegeville this afternoon. Thursday, May 4, SJU will break ground on Gagliardi Field, a multi purpose practice athletic field featuring a seasonal dome. Great news for the future of Johnnie Athletics.

That's exciting.  I had a quick look and couldn't find a press release on it.  Do you have a link?

I received an email about it but also saw the John Gagliardi Facebook page had posted info from the email. There are limited details besides date and time.

I read Metamorphosis in h.s. or college. It's not creepy in a gorish way, but if you take the time to think about how it is written, it's enough to make you very, very creeped out. I've never been able or interested in picking up another Kafka book. A little too twisted for me.

I understand that it's about a Hamms salesman that wakes up one morning and finds out he has changed into a cockroach. The creepy part, I'm told, is that he has lost his taste for beer........
or something like that. 

Is this the cockroach you see in those vintage Hamm's bar signs that rotate through a camp site?

Yes it is. A buddy I grew up with is/was the head tennis coach of the men's & women's teams at SCSU.

Yes, my dad told me about the Players-Formerly-Known-as-Indians on the weekend. I'll need to keep my eyes open and see how they go.

Last week's news Duff 

Another CDH athlete appears to be heading up I-94.
Amazing that some St. Paul kids have figured out that there are colleges beyond what I like to call Cretin West.

And then there's a QB from Big Sky Country...the Johnnies might have their own boy band called the Jackson 2.
Watch the youtube below...playing high school football surrounded by the mountains in Montana would be amazing!

The man who changed it from The Natural Bowl.  A sad day.
