I've had it just about up to here with the smack talk and disrespect for the UMAC and Northwestern College Football. 

Here comes the
Pain Train!

Woo Woo!

Shirt-tail relative of mine. Really! Go Max!

[finsleft]

Since BU is at Simpson this Saturday, maybe I'll have to swing on up to Collegeville to catch a game in the greatest football venue of all time. Can someone tell me: is (insert name of SJU opponent) worth the trip?

Yup.

Also, if I do go, is the location of the Stiftungsfestivities obvious? or do I need a map?

Just follow your nose.

Bennie:  The pain train is a reference to a chant the lakeland football team yells when they kickoff.  The fighting muskies are a colorful bunch to say the least.

finsleft - regarding your advice as to whether "(insert name of SJU opponent)" was worth the trip to Collegeville: Touche (I know I'm misusing the term, but it's such a fun one). Regarding your directions to the Stiftungsfestivities: what if I have a cold? Just kidding. If I make it there, I'll find it.

Just head up behind the scoreboard, look for the luxury RV, and you're there.

Quirky Doctor Happenings, Medical Examinations (for KR, who was MIA on Saturday)

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs -and I was in the wrong one.

2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA

3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada

4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!  Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr Rebecca St. Clair, Norfo lk, VA

5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR

6. I was caring for a wo man and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI

7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered.  It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
Submitted by RN no name

AND FINALLY!!!.......... (This one has KR's name written all over it!!)  .....

8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
Dr. wouldn't submit his name

I think we need to set up a poll to see which one of these is everyone's favorite! I can't decide between #1 and #8!

The Today show has videos of its segments on its website - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12065856/ - and yet has no video of yesterday's interview with Gags!!.      So what's up with that?

How 'bout someone who recorded it posting it on youtube or googlevideo?  Or maybe SJU can get a copy and put it up on gojohnnies.com


-----------------------------

And my vote goes to KR, er, #8.

Greetings everyone from the IIAC!

Loras Duhawk football supporter here wondering what the heck is up with St. Thomas? What'd you guys think of Central? I was there in June for Cubs/Twins action and really liked your facilities. Looking for a good game Saturday.

I agree.  Johnniepress, any chance we can get a clip up on www.gojohnnies.com?

So, the rumor at BU is that Phil Porta, their star RB who's some 600 odd yards from breaking the MIAC all-time rushing record, is out 4 weeks with a broken hand, which he injured in practice.

Any Royals followers out there have some insight as to who Bethel has to pick up the slack for this monumental set-back?

Also, I am very good friends with one of Phil's first cousins, whom I played football with while at Bethel. As I was discussing Phl's injury with his cousin, an interesting topic came up: the issue of how much to hit in practice? Phil's cousin played high school ball at Eden Prairie, and is therefore biased toward the EP and St. John's philosophy of minimul contact in practice (so things like yor star running back breaking his hand in practice don't happen nearly as often).

What do you all think?

I agree. Never met the kid, we're probably 300th cousins or somthing like that so no offense taken. Great-Grandma B was a Meagher from St. Wendel.

Gotta say that I am a bit biased towards the SJU method.  It makes a lot of sense, especially when you've got nagging injuries.  It's a lot easier on the body.

[oldbethel27]

Personally, I see no need for the Offense to hit in practice, but as a former defender, I believe the Defense should take their licks on the second and/or third team Offense.

[DuffMan]

Don't worry, in the SJU scheme, you still get your licks in on the scout team
