The other day a gentlemen at Lifetime Fitness came up to me and asked “why are all of you guys so true and loyal to St John’s?” Um hello! Of course we are true and loyal to all that is SJU and Collegeville, because as all Johnnies are well aware of the 56321 zip [...]

New Year…. New Countdown
If you have followed Johnnie Football on the JF.Com site you are well aware that when each Season comes to a painful end (because unless the Johnnies are playing for the National Title each season does end with a bit of sadness, does it not?) myself and the Wingman start to countdown the time until [...]
Johnnies Wrap-up Season 61-0 Over Hamline
The Johnnies traveled to Hamline University,in St. Paul ,to put the finishing touches on the 2011 season with a 61-0 victory over the Pipers.

Life Lessons
Shocked, embarrassed, angry, sad, and pretty much speechless, these are the words that could be used to describe the 2011 Johnnie Football Season to date. And after the Tommies put what can only be called a book definition of classic ass-kicking on our boys last Saturday in St. Paul (hey can I still sit in [...]

Unlike any other School the annual Homecoming weekend in Collegeville for any Johnnie is a very special time, why? Because we all want to and need to, get back HOME! And in all honesty this day is the uber best day of the year at the 56321 because it is a day that means we [...]
