Yeah, it’s a bye week for the Jays, and you may be getting antsy. But to tell the truth, although it’s strange not to be heading off somewhere to watch our Johnnies on Saturday, this off-week comes at a very good time.

He’s No Hand Me Down!
The Apple does not fall far from the tree. I can see where you get “it” from. You are just like your Father. Genetics in motion. You must get that from your parents, and so on. All commonly used phrases when describing someone who seems to have either physical or personality traits that are eerily [...]

Coach Caruso Radio Interview
Mark Lewandowski (a.k.a. VOJ (Voice of the Johnnies)) was kind enough to send over a clip from the Johnnie Football Radio Network Quinlivan & Hughes Pregame Show before the UST game this past Saturday. The clip is his interview with Tommie coach Glenn Caruso. It’s a fantastic listen and shows some excellent foresight for a game that did come down to defense. Enjoy!
