For the second week in a row, having just been discovered in a football meeting in the Alcuin Library Auditorium, reserve sophomore defensive lineman Jack Daggett blocked another extra point. This time it was on the opening touchdown by the Concordia Cobbers and kept the Johnnie footballers within a field goal.

What the heck – why not Daggett!
Johnnies Harvest Cobbers 31-19
Saturday, as we took the long drive to the Red River Valley I was reminded of all the agricultural production that takes place in this area of the state. As we drove I-94 to the Moorhead area I saw the small grain crop was nearly all in the bins and the sunflowers, corn,soybeans and sugar [...]
This Johnnie/Cobber Game Figures to be a Rush
Huge rushing performances are nothing new for the #23 Concordia Cobbers. True to form, they enter this Saturday’s MIAC-opening matchup with the #6 St. John’s Johnnies fresh off of a 194 yard, 4 touchdown ground attack in last week’s non-conference game against Valley City State.
But that’s nothing compared to the day the [...]

All signs point to more of this fantastic mild [...]
Here we go…
For those who have never experienced a Johnnie football game in Collegeville, it is hard to describe the sights, sounds and feelings one gets out there. Upon taking my seat in the Finsleft Luxury Skybox with my special guests, the sounds of the St. John’s Men’s Chorus called me up out of my chair and [...]
Shock and Harry Awe
All right, most of you have probably already uttered these headline words first carved from a presidential era seemingly decades ago and who mimic the smashing and slashing style of sophomore running back Harry Awe.
Merely uttering the phrase “Shock and Awe” brings smiles to faces and a sense of overwhelming power just as Harry’s Collegeville [...]
Johnnies Outlast Blugolds 35-27
The Johnnies change of pace running attack paid dividends on Saturday as 7 different players had rushing attempts and St. John’s defeated the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire 35-27 at Clemens Stadium. All of St. John’s TD’s were scored on the ground,which is an occurrence that I didn’t research thoroughly, but by casually polling some longtime Johnnie faithful, “it’s been [...]
