In last week’s column, I mentioned that the sun always shines on Johnnie Football. Um, yeah… It’s apparent that Mother Nature is not a regular reader of JohnnieFootball.com.
Fortunately, the football gods were on the Johnnies’ side on Saturday. In a game that was controlled by St. John’s at the line [...]

Inside the Numbers: UW-River Falls Recap
Crees Enters Fold
Michael Crees entered Saturday’s game as the SJU starter after beginning the season third in line behind junior Jordan Hansel and fan favorite Joe Boyle. Crees not only took advantage of last week’s opportunity to audition for the starting QB position but also grabbed last year’s starter Alex Kofoed’s jersey.

As we rapidly (thank goodness) approach another Football Saturday for the Johnnies up in Collegeville (where it is still free to park, free to tailgate in the Science Center lot and only costs [...]
Johnnies vs. Falcons
After a blowout victory in 2006 and a nail-biter in 2007, the Johnnies face the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Falcons for the third consecutive year this Saturday at Clemens Stadium. 2006 saw the Falcons abandon their long-time wishbone offense in favor of a zone offense. They struggled with the switch and were consequently [...]
