2009 coe game

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 [...]

2009 carleton game

The Carleton Knights are getting closer. From 1996 to 2006, the Knights were outscored by the Johnnies by a cumulative total of 481 to 47. They never held the Johnnies to fewer than 31 points and they never managed to score multiple times in any of the 10 games. They accomplished both [...]

1 November 2009 4:00 am

It certainly hasn’t been easy, but the Johnnies have managed to navigate the first two months of their schedule without suffering a defeat. Following the bye week and entering the stretch drive and playoff push, St. John’s finds itself 8-0 and in control of its own playoff and MIAC conference championship destinies.

2009 stthomas game

Maybe you’ve heard: the Tommies are coming to town and, for a change, they’re bringing a pretty talented football team with them.
The Tommies’ recent struggles against St. John’s are no secret. The Johnnies have won the last 11 meetings, 15 of the last 16, and haven’t lost to the Tommies in Collegeville since 1986. [...]

2009 hamline game

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 [...]

2009 bethel game

Though you wouldn’t know it from recent results, the Bethel Royals used to struggle just like everyone else in the MIAC against St. John’s. The Johnnies traveled to Arden Hills to take on the Royals for the first time in 1978 and came away with a 19-17 victory. While the scores were typically [...]

2009 concordia game

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 [...]

2009 uwec game

A week after opening the season with an underwhelming 28-24 win at UW-River Falls, the Johnnies return to Collegeville to open the home portion of their 2009 schedule against the UW-Eau Claire Blugolds. The Johnnies should be used to facing off against WIAC opponents—dating back to last season’s playoffs, this will be St. John’s [...]

2009 uwrf game

For the four-year seniors on the 2009 St. John’s football team, the Wisconsin-River Falls Falcons might as well have been an MIAC team. For the fourth straight season, the Johnnies will take on the Falcons as part of their non-conference schedule and, while UW-River Falls hasn’t exactly been competitive in the ultra-tough WIAC conference, [...]

A Look at the 2009 Johnnies

Posted on:
4 September 2009 3:00 am

The 2008 St. John’s Johnnies’ football season was a fair litmus test to separate the optimists from the pessimists.
The glass-half-full crowd is quick to point out that the Johnnies made the NCAA playoffs for the 4th straight season and won the MIAC title over some of the stiffest conference competition they have faced in recent [...]
