Too Light, Too Heavy, or Just Right
6 Turnovers Doom Johnnies in Loss to Coe
When the playoffs roll around, you have to be playing your best football of the season if you want to advance to the next week. With each victory comes the reward of playing a tougher opponent the following week. Mistakes are magnified in the playoffs and having an interception or a fumble recovery returned for [...]
It’s a beautiful day
Johnnie fans waking up to another incredible fall day in metropolitan Minneapolis and St. Paul will experience a spectacular and ethereal drive along Interstate 94 on their way to Collegeville this morning.
Sunny morning skies without much of a fall breeze will create a stunning climate for Saturday’s game and perfect for pregame socializing.
The mid-November haze that is visible as [...]
It’s a Boyle Battle as the Johnnies Host the Kohawks
St. John’s has earned the #1 seed in the West Region, but unlike the tournament’s other top seeds, their lofty perch doesn’t offer them a smooth path deep into the playoffs. In fact, the West Region is loaded with perennial football powers. The Central Dutch won their 30th IIAC title en route to [...]

SJU’s Unofficial Underground hits new low for length: read it anyway — #12
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.

Handicapping the Field with Touchdown Tommy
The 2009 NCAA Division III football playoffs are upon us. On Sunday around 2:10pm the brackets were revealed on ESPNEWS. The committee has decided NOT to place seedings on teams this year, however, one can reasonably surmise that the West Region Bracket looks like this.
Johnnies Receive #1 Seed in DIII Playoffs
Sunday afternoon the NCAA Division III Selection Committee awarded St. John’s University one of four #1 seeds in the 2009 football tournament. Having completed their first undefeated season since 2005 with an entertaining 41 – 14 victory over the Carleton Knights, the 2009 playoffs begin with a distint home field advantage in Collegeville.
The Johnnies also retained their [...]
