A hot, dry and windy afternoon greeted the 6,000+ fans at Jake Christiansen Stadium Saturday as the Cobbers faced the undefeated Johnnies. It was family day at Concordia, and that contributed to the excellent crowd. The fans were confident that their very capable team could cobble up another victory over the Johnnies; maybe repeating last years 9-6 win at Clemens Stadium.

What the heck – why not Daggett!
For the second week in a row, having just been discovered in a football meeting in the Alcuin Library Auditorium, reserve sophomore defensive lineman Jack Daggett blocked another extra point. This time it was on the opening touchdown by the Concordia Cobbers and kept the Johnnie footballers within a field goal.

Johnnies Harvest Cobbers 31-19
Saturday, as we took the long drive to the Red River Valley I was reminded of all the agricultural production that takes place in this area of the state. As we drove I-94 to the Moorhead area I saw the small grain crop was nearly all in the bins and the sunflowers, corn,soybeans and sugar [...]
This Johnnie/Cobber Game Figures to be a Rush
Huge rushing performances are nothing new for the #23 Concordia Cobbers. True to form, they enter this Saturday’s MIAC-opening matchup with the #6 St. John’s Johnnies fresh off of a 194 yard, 4 touchdown ground attack in last week’s non-conference game against Valley City State.
But that’s nothing compared to the day the [...]
SJU’s Unofficial Underground sees a Cobbery weekend ahead — #3
It was a lovely Saturday up there next to the Lake Wobegon Trail overlooking the beautiful Sagatagan. First, the weatherman surprised everyone by giving us both a cloudless and warm day after predicting a cool, rainy one; and second, our Jays beat a solid, talented UW-Eau Claire team 35-27 for our second straight victory over a WIAC team. This before a crowd of over 8,000 most very pleased souls.

This is the Rivalry…
Each year when the Johnnies play the Cobbers I get nervous. I am thankful that the Johnnies were scheduled to make the trip to Jake Christensen Stadium in mid-September instead of mid-November when the cold wind howls across the flat prairie and the natural grass field has seen better days. All signs point to more of this fantastic mild [...]
Here we go…
For those who have never experienced a Johnnie football game in Collegeville, it is hard to describe the sights, sounds and feelings one gets out there. Upon taking my seat in the Finsleft Luxury Skybox with my special guests, the sounds of the St. John’s Men’s Chorus called me up out of my chair and [...]
