Hold on to your monkey stomps Johnniefans, a 10-7 come from behind win over Carleton gives you brings you to a grand total of 13 points difference between you and the bottom feeder of Northfield in 06 and 07.  Based upon last week, I'd take Ole's by 25.   Time to be the underdog, the Johnnies have always wanted to be!  How can you win without whistles, tackling or weight lifting?  every win must be luck and prayers...

The 13 point differential matters not as much as the 2-0 record does.

A win is a win... unless it's against a school named UM Morris, Westminster (isn't that a dog show?), Martin Luther, Crown, Rockford, Cornell, Trinity bible, Principia, Any school name that ends in Baptist, or Northwestern.


I want in on this +25 action too. I wager TDT's entire trust fund.

BTW, does JohnnieFootball.com have an official medical correspondent yet?

If so, how about an official rambling classless clueless @$$hole? Nevermind, damn you TDT!

KR-
We need you. Can you write me up a prescription for Hamm's so I can get my insurance to pay for it? And hurry, I'll need it before I write my next column. 8)
Thanks Doc!

Wonka you make good arguments especially the one about showing up in big games, but I think the Stolp vs. Southworth comparison is unfair on the basis that Southworth had a little more to work with.

Southworth had a much better and bigger offensive line, a steady running attack with Travis Prunty and Ryan Britz who averaged 5 and 6 yards per carry respectively (until this year the Gustie running game has been pretty ordinary during Stolp's tenure), two stud tight ends in Charlie Vacek and Brent Olson, and a receiver in Chris Swansson who held every meaningful school receiving record until Hoag came along.

Why start with the farm?  If you have an Olaf +25 line then you know the mob is involved.

Both teams should score.  I think it might come down to a field goal early in the game.  St. Olaf needs to play smart.

From johnniefootball.com:

Fahey — the Alex Kofoed of fans — is the best at what he does.

Was the writer referring to the Alex Kofoed as seen by SJU56321, or the Alex Kofoed as seen by TC?

Looks like the Oles are the conference pace setter at this point...favorite for this saturday too.

I would say JR at the grill is the latter, while JR at the boombox is the former.

How do you figure that?  Must be delusions of grandeur!

Of note, that might be Rich Mies's shortest piece ever!

[The White Silly]

St. Olaf favored is a joke...mark my credible words...they are overrated...bigtime...oles lose by 25...penz 4 pics...i like Mies, he's a good cat...

[sju56321]

Sfury-I know JR has improved the tailgate from its beginnings and there is no inconsistency in his fine grilling and music work! You be the judge (get it?)

I've never really browsed the miac-online.org site before. Imagine my surprise upon clicking on Hamline and finding this:


Nice 'stache!


Yes, I realize that's her lip.

If we are using other conference games as a measure to predict results (which I really believe is a bad indicator of the future)...I'll take the SJU offense against an Ole D that gave up 17 points in the first half to Augsburg.  SJU had 35 points before Augsburg scored on a flukey 70+ yard pass (their only TD of the game).  The oles, on the other hand, were up 21-14 at one point.

...But then again, using other games to predict the future ruins families.
