There was a different feeling in the air this year when the St. John’s Johnnies took on the Bethel Royals, looking for their first win between these two teams since 2005. The weather was warmer, the crowd smaller. Most importantly, for the first time in three seasons, there was no MIAC conference crown on the line as both teams, highly touted coming into the year, entered the contest with disappointing, blemished records.

Federal Offense!
Will John Gagliardi Build For The Future Or Play For Today?
If you’ve been paying any attention to the news, local or national, you’ve witnessed a vast array of developments including financial foreclosures, the race to the presidential “throne” and even local philanthropists succumbing to greed. Whether you’re suddenly concerned about discovering your on-line bank account [...]
Royals Continue to Dominate Johnnies
The Johnnies traveled to Arden Hills on Saturday to face conference rival Bethel hoping to put an end to the back-to-back losses at the hands of the Bethel Royals during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Bethel has been spiraling out of control with losses to Carleton and Concordia thus far in the 2008 MIAC schedule. [...]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions: Bethel
When the St. John’s Johnnies and Bethel Royals face off this weekend in Arden Hills, the home team will be trying to make history: it’s been over twenty years since the Johnnies have lost to the same school in three straight seasons (St. Olaf, 1984-86). The significance of this weekend’s contest is even more amazing [...]
YOU STAY CLASSY BETHEL!
This week marks the first MIAC road trip for John and the 2008 Johnnie Football Team. This week also marks an occasion that is relatively rare in the MIAC; an opponent has the opportunity to defeat the Johnnies for the third consecutive year — a feat that has not taken place since the Gusties defeated the Johnnies from 1979-1981! Following a 28-13 home defeat in 2006, and last years 17-14 defeat in Arden Hills, it’s this author’s opinion that the team will be, as starting Tight End Brett Saladin says, “unbelievably motivated”.
Ahhh…much better!
After three weeks of offensive performance anxiety, it was gratifying to finally find a remedy for what was ailing the Johnnies. Quarterback Jordan Hansel stood tall for St. John’s with a decisive homecoming victory over Gustavus. Hansel showed no signs of projectile dysfunction, with 283 yards passing, 3 for TD’s, plus one rushing TD. It really is all about scoring.
Johnnies vs. Royals
Bethel.
How can one word raise the irritation level of Johnnie Faithful across the nation? Quite simply put, with the recent demise of the Tommie Football program, we needed a new rival and Bethel stepped up. Not only have they stepped up, but they have stepped ON the Johnnies recently.
