Johnnies Drum Pipers 41-7
In the Robert Browning fairytale, The Pied Piper of Hamelin,  the piper freed the town of rats. On Saturday, the Hamline University Pipers were on a mission to free their campus of the rats who had invaded from SJU and in doing so, saving Homecoming for the Piper alumni and students. There  were a couple of [...]
Those Mysterious Men Up Front
Hogs, big men, earth movers, wide bodies, grunts, space eaters. These are the common monikers sports fans hang on those fine men who have chosen the path of little to no fame in the game of Football, that path being an Offensive Lineman.
The SJU Unofficial Underground proclaims yet another Deus ex Machina win — #6
Sorry this is so late…life keeps getting in the way of my chosen pursuits. Let me tell you, though, it’s okay if we all slow down and savor one of the unlikely yet exciting wins in St. John’s football history.

Hammering Hamline
Following the dramatic conclusion of last week’s 16-14 homecoming win over Bethel, it’s understandable that there are numerous members of Johnnie Nation missing substantial portions of their finger nails. As you might have heard, Russell Gliadon atoned for a missed extra point that would have tied the game with less than two minutes remaining [...]
This Week is More Than Just a Game
Coming off a specatcular win last week, we look to continue our success. This week’s opponent may not be undefeated or given us trouble in the past, but I can assure you that these Pipers will try and give us a run for our money. I know one particular Piper that will be going extra [...]
Redemption
The mass appeal of sporting events is, I suppose, that it offers the spectator the opportunity to vicariously experience success and failure throughout the course of the event itself and, ultimately in the end, with a win or a loss. In football, every yard, every first down, every point obtained is celebrated. In baseball, each hit, great pitch, strikeout or defensive play is relished by the fan. Conversely, the missed tackle, blown coverage, homer ball, or error is often the cause of spectator hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing.
Johnnie/Piper Pregaming – Gabe’s by the Park
Looking for a convenient locale to soothe your vocal chords following perhaps the most interesting week in Minnesota sports history and before the Johnnie vs Piper game on the HU campus? With all the gaming, pregaming, speculation and cheering the past few days no other sporting fan experienced as much jubilation as Johnnie Football fans.
Trip Down Snelling Ave…
I am writing this week exhausted from the incredible sports weekend in the Twin Cities. Saturday the Gophers predictably fell to the Badgers for the umpteenth time and the Johnnies made a valiant comeback to shock the Royals in Collegeville. Sunday the Twins thrilled the 51 thousand at the Dome and those tuned in on [...]
