I'd forgotten what a huge family Gary has.  RIP, Anne.

Yeah, one of 15 kids!

My mother in law is about his age - one of 17.  Wasn't at all uncommon for those Central Minnesota families of that vintage, but sounds wild now!  She had plenty of friends with similar double digit children in the family type of setups.

SJU Game Notes for the UW-Whitewater game have been released:

Listened to some of the "In the D3FB Huddle" hosted by Frank Rossi & James Baker & they feel that Trinity is a legitimate national title contender. Took a lot of grit for St John's to get back in the game & no small dose of "Johnnie Magic" to walk away with a win. I'm hoping our Johnnies will have made much improvement when we see them again on Saturday facing off against Whitewater! Will be interesting to see how we play, how prepared we'll look, & how it will turn out! Hoping to get to tune into the matchup Saturday night between Trinity & Mary Hardin-Baylor!

I hope they all keep looking past the Johnnies and our boys stuff it right up 'em.  Their grudging admission that St John's "is still a good team" was so magnaminous.  Riveting.

Oz I'm still waiting for you to apologize for all the horrible things you said about Justin  Beaver and the Warhawks back in 2007

Then again it could have been DuffMan who was making those disparaging comments. I can't remember

[DuffMan]

Whoa, look who shows up for Johnnie/Warhawk week!  Even if Oz said it, I'll take credit.

[kubiack78]

Yep, out of the shadows I come

Unbelievable sloppy end to a college football game https://youtu.be/Z_gw6nJ1mHg?si=1myTpJtz6-FiJuYR

Are any of you (ahem) gentlemen, coming to the game on Saturday?

Maybe cut Mr. Baker a little slack, Oz. He is stuck watching non-contenders year after year after year. It's cute how they stack Regions 4-6 together. Bless their hearts.

Heh.  I think about that from time to time.  Yes, the Warhawks made me eat my words.  It was a crappy meal.

Nope.  My son has a 6th grade football game @ 3:00 Saturday.

Last time I was at the Perk, I drank beers with Janesville Flash from the trunk of his Caddy--RIP!

You've got to think UWW vs St. Johns is the game of the week.

You've got to think UWW vs St. Johns is the game of the week.

#3 Wartburg @ #16 Bethel
#5 Trinity v #12 UHMB
#6 HSU @ #11 UWLC
#19 UWO @ #13 Wheaton

They all put #4 SJU @ #8 UWW to the test for GOTW.  These first few weeks of the season have turned into a murderers row.

EDIT:

I reckon Trinity v UHMB will be game of the week.  Both teams with a loss and their backs against the wall?  They will be playing for keeps.

Having seen some of the River Falls game last week, I expect Trinity to Monkey Stomp UMHB - at a minimum.
