Just how far does the scent of Wingman’s ever so delectable wings carry? Can you actually hear the opening of the container that carries Natural Aimee’s oh so popular homemade Deviled Eggs from that far away? What? Is that the sound of an ice cold beverage being poured into one of our quite famous red [...]

Tailgate Roadblock: Collegeville
It’s time to relive a traditional Johnnie home opener with the UW – Eau Claire BluGolds who have provided some of the best early season competition over the past 10 years. The Johnnies have an overall mark of 6 – 4 versus the BluGolds inculding winning the last two meetings in ‘05 & ‘06. Always a top tier team in the [...]
Beating the Blugolds
A week after opening the season with an underwhelming 28-24 win at UW-River Falls, the Johnnies return to Collegeville to open the home portion of their 2009 schedule against the UW-Eau Claire Blugolds. The Johnnies should be used to facing off against WIAC opponents—dating back to last season’s playoffs, this will be St. John’s [...]
SJU Unofficial Underground News: more reading than an English major — #2
Okay, so the inauguration of the Jays season last week at UW-River Falls left something to be desired; at least we got a “W” in the closing minutes 28-24, right?

Down Time
We have one game down and many to go. For those of you that were at the River Falls game…thank you for coming and gutting our poor defensive effort. On behalf of the defense, I would like to pledge a much better effort this Saturday against Eau Claire. Again, it has taken me too long [...]
UW River Falls Tailgate and Game Photos
A beautiful day for a tailgate and football game in River Falls.
The Johnnies have a perfect 1-0 record.
Thanks to everyone for showing up at the tailgate. Special thanks, again, to Johnnie Red for the legendary Stiftungsfest burgers.
Changing Places
As Johnnie fans lay waste to their summer of 2009, visions of boating, lake time, cabin frolicking and barbecues laden with bratwurst, meat market specials and corn on the cob give way to dreams of an approaching season of stalwart efforts by the heavily talented defensive unit.
Trailing its way into the psyche of [...]
The Party Has Begun
Yesterday’s 28-24 comeback win at Wisconsin-River Falls to open the season was a good (good not great) start. The team wasn’t great, but we’ve come to expect that early in the season. If you are looking for the bread and butter statistics head here. Also don’t forget to follow JohnnieFootball.com Feature Writer Finsleft on Twitter. [...]
