I recently had the chance to catch up with a couple of the biggest college football fans in the country.  Keith and Phil Arnold, from RoadtoGameday.com, were kind enough to spend some time with Johnniefootball.com.  Many thanks to the Arnold Bros. and good luck to their Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders in the State Semifinals this weekend.
Phil (far [...]

I recently had a chance to catch up with Johnnie Vendor extraordinaire, Dick Wilke. Many thanks to Dick for taking the time. If you see “The Trickster” working an event in the Twin Cities, don’t forget to tell him that Touchdown T sent ya…

Greetings Fellow Johnnie Fans,
 The 2008 season is fast upon us and I decided to start my Holiday weekend with a trip to St. Paul.  I stopped at Casper & Runyon’s Nook(Hamline and Randolph, across the street from Cretin-Derham Hall High School) for a couple of delicious Hamm’s on tap to go along with the best burgers [...]

2007 central game

As my childhood hero, George Jefferson, often said, “We are movin’ on up.” Onward and upward to bigger and better things as the Johnnies dispensed of the Redlands Bulldogs with relative ease last Saturday in the friendly confines of Clemens Stadium.  Bring on the Dutch of Central College who are starting to become an annual playoff [...]

I don’t think there is a Johnnie football fan on the planet who was happy with the result of the MIAC conference championship game on Saturday in Arden Hills.  Both defenses played extremely well and Bethel was able to make the plays necessary to grab the lead with 24 seconds remaining.  The Royals have clearly [...]

2007 bethel game

Bouncing Aluminum Bleachers: Every big play or 3rd down situation the Bethel student body will conduct the most annoying cheer in the MIAC when they jump up and down on the metal bleachers chanting “Deeeefense, Deeeefense, Deeeefense…”  There is nothing better than converting in these game situations and being able to hear a pin drop [...]

2007 bethel game

A couple weeks ago the Johnnies faced long-time rival St. Thomas and while it wasn’t a Monkey Stomp it was a well deserved win.  This week the J’s are coming off a much needed bye week and travel to their biggest rival of the current era (1999-present), Bethel University.  No team has had the Johnnies’ number [...]

In Regards to:
2007 stthomas game

Nick Gunderson: This kid eats weak, inexperienced offensive lines for lunch.
Alex Kofoed: 4th year starter is at home, on the turf, and playing his last game against UST. 
Jerry Haugen: Defensive coordinator extraordinaire will have schemes to confuse and baffle the young Tommie offense.
Brian Weber: Speed kills.  That and the combination of great hands, leaping ability, [...]

2007 stthomas game

The arch-rival Tommies come to Collegeville this week.  I’ve noticed less and less anticipation for the Tommie/Johnnie game in recent years.  The outcome of the game appears to be a foregone conclusion and the predictions are not who will win but rather how many points the Johnnies will put up.  This raises an important question [...]

2007 hamline game

Mary Hardin-Baylor v. Wisconsin-Whitewater on Oct. 27: Currently #2 and #3 in the country.  If everyone takes care of business this is setting up to be a clash of the titans.  This contest has all kinds of West Region playoff implications.
St. John’s v. Bethel on Nov. 10:This game is likely to determine the MIAC conference [...]
