Happy Thanksgiving. I’m not only trying to get this out on time, but I’m surprising myself by even getting out a UUN at all. It’s not that I am totally bummed by our upset loss to Coe College last Saturday, though I’m sure not happy about it. No, I’ve just got things to do.

2009 coe game

For those who don’t know, SJU defeated Carleton College (and former Johnny great Kurt Ramler ‘97 who coaches them) 41-14, turning in another undefeated season. That may sound like a run-away, but the first half was pretty even. Scared a few of us. More game info is found below — way below. It’s a long issue.

2009 carleton game

As mentioned last issue, we have a chance to set an NCAA Div. III Football attendance record at Collegeville — 50,000 people attending games at ourClemens Stadium during a single regular season. We need approximately 9,000 fans to show up and cheer the Johnnies on to yet another MIAC championship in order to set that record of over 50K. Can we do it?

As usual, I can always find lots of stuff to cram into the Underground, but I’m needing to show some restraint if this is to get out early enough for you to make use of the info. Here’s the situation: Tomorrow we play Augsburg, a “home game” for them at the HHH Metrodome.

The SJU Unofficial Underground News doesn’t take a bye week — #9

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. Junior QB Joe Boyle reinjured his gimpy thumb in the first quarter in what should have been a breather game for St. John’s against St. Olaf.

Sorry this is so late…life keeps getting in the way of my chosen pursuits. Let me tell you, though, it’s okay if we all slow down and savor one of the unlikely yet exciting wins in St. John’s football history.

Happy Homecoming to all of you, whether you can make it back or not. Although the weather is supposed to be less than spectacular, I suspect that we’ll have a good 10,000 up on campus, maybe more. Part of that is due to the very big MIAC contest between St. John’s and the team that has beaten us three years running — Bethel University.

SJU Underground sez ‘booga-booga’ to the Gusties — #4

2009 gustavus game

It was a relief to (a) leave Moorhead with a 31-19 win last Saturday, and (b) leave looking pretty darn good after a shaky first half. For yet another week our defense has looked somewhat porous, at least before half time where we experienced not one but TWO [2!!] deus ex machinas in the earthly form of Kyle Schroeder
