Known to many who frequent D3Football.com and online chatroom PostPatterns as “One Armed Scott”, Adam Johnson is also the West Region writer for that site. In a special to JF.com, “OAS” spent the day watching the Johnnies and Tommies battle in the race for the MIAC title. As Adam writes, there was actually another battle about to take place well before the two teams ever took the field.

Better than Losing!
The knuckle bumping, hand holding, fanny slapping first year coach of St. Thomas was served his first dose of “Johnnie Magic”.
Welcome to the MIAC Glen Caruso.
New Coach: Same Old Tommies
When the St. Thomas athletic department conducted a nationwide search for a coach to take their struggling football program in a new direction, they didn’t have to look very far. In January the Tommies introduced the former head coach of neighboring Macalester, Glen Caruso, to the Tommie faithful. Optimism was running high around St. Thomas, [...]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions: St. Thomas
Following their biggest blowout of the season, 40-7 over the Hamline Pipers, the St. John’s Johnnies travel to St. Paul to take on their biggest rival, the St. Thomas Tommies. It’s been a decade since the Tommies toppled the Johnnies on the gridiron, but for the first time in ages the two-loss Johnnies are [...]
That woman you live with…
What does the Tommie/Johnnie rivalry mean to you? How important is the outcome of this game in your life? How do you feel about all that is U.S.T.? Does your 11 year old think the letters UST stand for something entirely different than the University of St. Thomas? Is the color Purple forbidden in your [...]
Johnnies v. Tommies LXXVII
Even though the St. Thomas Tommies have dropped the last 10 meetings with their arch rival, the St. John’s Johnnies, they have to feel pretty confident about their chances when the teams meet for the 77th time this weekend in St. Paul. The Johnnies, uncharacteristically, have already been saddled with two losses this season. Meanwhile, down on Summit Ave., new head coach Glenn Caruso has the Tommies playing as well as they have in recent memory.
St. Thomas tailgate information, rules, and general fun stuff
The Stiftungsfestivities will be taking on a slightly different format as the Johnnies travel to hated St. Thomas on Saturday. The rally will take place in the northwest corner of the O’Shaughnessy Stadium
Parking Lot bordering Cretin Avenue. As always, please bring a culinary delight to share. That’s especially important this week, as Johnnie Red will be watching big college football elsewhere. Grillers (and meat!) will be needed.

The MIAC Race…slow and steady wins it?
While the Johnnies have struggled at times this year, it is important to remember that SJU has lost two games by two plays it failed to make…and as such, perhaps the hope of its 30th MIAC title isn’t over for the Jays. So let’s take a look at the MIAC race.
