While St. John’s has spent to John Gagliardi era holding court over the MIAC on the gridiron, their doppelganger to the south, the Dutch of Central College, have been compiling an impressive record of their own. Central has tallied 29 IIAC titles, including this year’s and 17 of the past 24. The Dutch are making […]

Johnnie Gameday Predictions
One of my favorite things about the Johnnies’ near-annual participation in the playoffs is the chance to see teams that we rarely play. While St. John’s won’t have the opportunity to see a third straight season come to an end in Whitewater, WI—the UW-Whitewater Warhawks wouldn’t cross paths with the Johnnies until the Stagg Bowl—we […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
For the second straight year, it has all come down to this: Undefeated St. John’s taking on one-loss Bethel in the season’s final regular season game. To the victors go the MIAC title and an automatic berth into the NCAA playoffs, to the defeated, an uncertain fate at the hands of the NCAA selection committee […]

ri•val•ry, n, The state or condition of competition.
As the centerpiece of one of the greatest small-school rivalries in the country, the annual St. John’s v. St. Thomas football game is made special by its spirit of competition. In the rare instance that St. Thomas actually assembles strong team, the competition on the field is the […]

Here are three signs that this week’s game has the entire MIAC feeling rather bored:

TC handed over the prediction compilation task to me of all people.
I’ve got a grand total of five predictions to present. There will be a whopping six if Dusty adds his […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
While the Johnnies should be coming into this week’s game flying high after beating St. Olaf 30-29, the same cannot be said of the Gusties on their Homecoming weekend. Gustavus started the year 3-0, running their winning streak to 7 games dating back to 2006. Now, after starting the season with such high hopes, they […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
A week after playing down to the level on an inferior Carleton team, the Johnnies shouldn’t have any trouble getting up for this week’s matchup with the undefeated St. Olaf Oles. At stake when the #4-ranked Johnnies host the #18-ranked Oles is the inside track at the MIAC championship—and more importantly, the automatic playoff […]

But those of you who follow our gameday predictions will note that 4 of our 7 contributors predicted a Johnnie victory of at least 24 points for last week’s game. With one major hurdle cleared handily another awaiting […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
Now that the cupcakes—Marietta, UW-River Falls, and Augsburg—have been devoured, the Johnnies get their first taste of the main course as the Concordia Cobbers invade Collegeville. It’s time to answer the annual question—just how good are these Johnnies? Judging by early season dismantlings of Marietta and Augsburg, this looks like a Johnnie team […]
The View from Concordia
With fall sports just kicking off, and a full school year to follow, Concordia Sports Information Director Jim Cella’s schedule is busy and getting busier. Still, in what can only be a testament to the increasingly competitive nature of the St. John’s/Concordia football rivalry, he set aside some time to share his thoughts on this […]
