The other day a gentlemen at Lifetime Fitness came up to me and asked “why are all of you guys so true and loyal to St John’s?” Um hello! Of course we are true and loyal to all that is SJU and Collegeville, because as all Johnnies are well aware of the 56321 zip [...]

If you have followed Johnnie Football on the JF.Com site you are well aware that when each Season comes to a painful end (because unless the Johnnies are playing for the National Title each season does end with a bit of sadness, does it not?) myself and the Wingman start to countdown the time until [...]

Having the moniker “The Mad Stork” hung on you as a young man could possibly give certain youngsters a bit of a complex, or even cause them mental anguish, but this is not the case for a certain active Johnnie. Who else could we be speaking about other than our own Connor Grill, sporting #69 [...]

Planning, scheming, preparation, execution, and taking advantage of the opportunities at hand, these are a few of the descriptive words and phrases that are used in describing how an individual or Team should approach and play the game of Football.

As much as we who support Johnnie Football wish it were not so, our Season’s do have a certain shelf-life. At this point of the 2011 campaign we hit the second half of the season and the Nation that is unrivaled will only get to enjoy and cherish a measly 4 more Johnnie Football Saturdays, [...]

Shocked, embarrassed, angry, sad, and pretty much speechless, these are the words that could be used to describe the 2011 Johnnie Football Season to date. And after the Tommies put what can only be called a book definition of classic ass-kicking on our boys last Saturday in St. Paul (hey can I still sit in [...]

2011 concordia game

Never ending wind, poor locker room facilities, questionable officiating, extremely conservative offensive play calling in the second half, a defense unit that has now jelled and is set for the rest of the MIAC, and our own BIG Graboski yet again showing that he does own the Cobbers added up to a 28-21 OT win [...]
