SJU Thursday Feature on Syverson.

Props to Chris Backes for his support of Syverson and the team. I'm sure it's not an easy pill to swallow...must be a heck of young man!
Also...how many guys playing for the Johnnies haven't seen live game action in almost 3 years....that's got me a little concerned. Hoping they rise to the challenge!!!

Not to be picky (ok, maybe it is  ) but it will only be 2 years this December since they last played in a live game.

I'll clarify...guys that were high school seniors in 2017, 2018 or college freshman those years likely have not played a snap in live game conditions in 3 years. Example the SJU starting quarterback has not played in a game since his senior year (2019).

FYI - For all you folks wondering about game access I've got an update (I went right to the top!).

You can currently buy access for the first game only.  They are working on a season pass this week and will keep us updated.  So expect that groovy feature.  But maybe not before the weekend?

I just spent the last 15 minutes resetting my password and trying to figure out where to find the season pass on the Stretch site. I should have known better than to go anywhere but here first! I hope everyone is doing well!! I am looking forward to some Johnnie Football!! It is good to have Saturday plans again!!

Well, it's not looking good for a season pass this year, Bennie.  Assuming the price stays at $45, then we're only getting 1.5 games free with the pass.  We'll see if they create something over the weekend but I don't think so.  This is a near Tommie-like backdoor price increase.  If they are increasing prices by 30% or so they should be up front.  I'll still pay, of course.

How is your example 3 years? This fall is only 2 years from the fall of 2019. Where are you getting almost 3 years from? 2019 to 2020 is 1 year, 2020 to 2021 is another year. 2 years, not 3. Is this some kind of new math? 

Pretty sure most players that were on the roster in 2019 got some live game action during the season.

Game Day 

[sju56321]

Well back after the year break. Good to see everyone-will miss the UST rivalry.
Go Johnnies.

[MadRedFan]

Ready to go.  Nice to have a football Saturday again. Nice to have a beautiful day for it. Hope Johnnies come through.

[sjujohnnie]

It's like Christmas came early! What a long wait for the return of Johnnie football! Wish I was there in person, but will have to settle for streaming the game! GO JOHNNIES!

[57Johnnie]

Game day indeed! My 67th year of Johnnie football - not counting last year!

Pat: Thanks for making the last 20+ years so much better.

Hey, all, couldn't sleep.  Up early.

It appears that the Stretch broadcast is free.  Or perhaps I've clicked a magical series of secret clicks and have escaped the purchase.  Anyone else able to watch the video without paying?

I have it so far I have VOJ on another device just in case.
It may turn off once the game starts.
