What could we do to ignite some Johnnie/Tommie banter?

Are Johnnie fans interested in displaying our overwhelming support with a pre-game tailgate?

Developing....

I must admit.. and please understand I never thought I would say this in recent history, that regardless of how nonexistent tommie fans, students, faculty ect are about their football team, the team itself has a real shot a beating the boy from collegeville.. and with a season like this.. I guess why not?

I'll point to a 3 point UST victory over Hamline as the reason they won't....

I never thought some off the cuff wager with the Mayor would spurn this much discussion.  The truth of the matter is that Mayor and I were just BSing at that CWS-Twins game.

So, it looks like you won't be getting that beer, fins.

Incorrect.  The Mayor knows that TDT is a man of his word.  It will be presented at the Auggie Tech game in early November*.

Mommy's plastic comes in handy at times like these, eh Prez?

Carleton will not win out.  Ramler is a good coach and they have good players but they do not have the depth.  The only way it's possible is if they have no injuries. 

They just beat the #21 team in the nation without, arguably, their best player. Their depth might surprise you (and me, since I think you happen to be correct...just saying).

I honestly can't believe STU beat them.

Who is this STU you keep referring to? Wasn't that changed like 20 years ago?...

"STU" ..... "St. Thomas University" or "UST" "University of St. Thomas"  When I went to SJU, it was "CST."

How about "CST sucks"?? for starters  When I went to SJU, I liked the St. Kate's girls as they were pretty down to earth.  The CST girls were prissy and in need of some good knuckle-dragging neanderthal like me to force them to clean toilets.

I always remember Lou Holtz referring to the "University of Stanford."  (He also made mention of the "University of Navy.") 8)

Subject: Important Notice regarding the Tommy - Saint John's football game

Football Fans:

This Saturday Saint John's plays "the Tommy game", which is one of the most storied rivalries in the MIAC conference.  We wish our team well and a great time for all of the fans. As the game approaches, we would like to remind everyone to use good sportsmanship, to conduct themselves with respect, and to represent our schools in a positive manner.  This especially applies to refraining from the sale, purchase, and wearing of t-shirts that disrespect the human dignity of other persons. Our colleague, Vice President at St. Thomas, Jane Canney, is sending a similar message to the students there.

The NCAA Division III policy clearly states that "Division III athletics encourages the development of sportsmanship and positive social attitudes. Coaches and players treat each other with respect, and administrators work to foster a positive competitive environment."  In an effort to foster this environment, home and visiting guests wearing clothing that are disrespectful to others will be asked to change before gaining entrance to the football game.

We want to create a positive experience for you, our guests, parents, alumni, and friends who may be attending the game. We want you to cheer and support our players with positive attitude and excitement. Show your Johnny and Blazer spirit and enjoy the game!

First Amendment anyone??

The First Amendment afirms the right to free speech, it does not say that a school has to allow it on private property.

[finsleft]

Yeah, what business does an institution of higher learning have in allowing, or even (GASP!!) encouraging, public discourse?

[Rugman]

Yeah, what business does an institution of higher learning have in allowing, or even (GASP!!) encouraging, public discourse?

Seems to me you just wear your T-shirt underneath another shirt until you get inside.

[CCKnight]

At least they warned the students so that they have time to think of creative solutions to the problem, or at the least be smart enough to wear another shirt over the offensive one while entering the stadium.

What's next not allowing drunk students entrance.  Everything is becoming way to PC.

What don't we eat?
...Red Meat
Why don't we eat it?
...because it's murder

I think you may need to call in Jeremy Piven to rectify the situation.

[Knightstalker]

The institutions of higher learning are teaching everyone how to be pc.  You can't tell someone who sucks that they suck because that would hurt their feelings and that would suck and they would feel sucky because they suck and you pointed out to them that they did in fact suck.
