John Gagliardi beat St Thomas 17 of 19 times from 1991-2009. When St Thomas got sick of losing, they invested heavily in their program and got really good. When St Olaf got sick of losing, they led the charge to kick St Thomas out of the conference.

The Ivy League cancelled fall sports. Carleton cancelled fall sports, because they think they are an Ivy League school. I expect St Olaf to cancel fall sports soon, because they think they are Carleton. Luckily, no one wants to be like St Olaf, so the domino effect will stop.

My wife drove past the Yellow House in route to Coborn's and saw students having a bonfire in the blizzard. So she picked up some S'mores fixings and dropped them off. Further proof that John Gagliardi was correct in saying that no one outpunted his coverage more than me.

The potentially armed suspect is still at large in the woods. My house has woods that are kind of connected to the Saint John's woods. If he shows up in my backyard, we are going to have a long talk and get him enrolled at SJU in our accounting program. It may be his only hope.

My football career ended 25 years ago, also with a heartbreaking 3 point loss in the national semi's. Although you never quite get over it, you'll spend a lot more time looking back at all the fun you had along the way. Congrats to the Johnnies on one hell of a season.

If I could give one piece of random advice to the Bennies and Johnnies who recently graduated, it would be to hop a flight to Europe, buy a Eurail pass, and go with the flow. If that is out of your budget, take a road trip...a long one. You've got the rest of your life to work.

So, let me get this straight. St Olaf wants to kick St Thomas out of the MIAC, because St Thomas is too good at sports - but St Olaf is going to make the baseball playoffs whereas St Thomas is not. I'm thinking that prospective students who enjoy logic should avoid St Olaf.

Tommies COUNT the Allianz field game (38-20 loss to SJU) in their home attendance stats but don't COUNT the game when calculating the last time they lost at home. I've always said we are better at ACCOUNTING than the Tommies. Gosh, I miss the rivalry. Olaf sucks.

Without a doubt my favorite play in the history of football. The balls to call the play. The downfield blocking by the linemen. The collision at the goal line. If he lands on the one inch line, the half expires, Mt Union has the momentum and John may not get his 4th title.

Important update. The owner of the Johnnie Chair was moving out & the chair was going to be repurposed. After brief negotiations, I am now the owner of the Johnnie Chair, and it resides on my property near Milk & Honey in Saint Joe. Photos welcome. Long love the Johnnie Chair.

John Gagliardi always said that the offensive linemen do all the work and don't get any credit. I'm sure he would be pleased to see this group getting some credit!

My wife met a young man today and thought he was pretty cool, so she just assumed he was a Johnnie. She asked, and sure enough, he is a Johnnie. Bennies and Johnnies are cool. My wife is also cool.

Commencement for the class of 2020 is being targeted for Memorial Day weekend of 2021. I'm thinking downtown Saint Joe should be roped off for that entire weekend - no cars, just the class of 2020 roaming the streets and partying. Kind of like Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.

Back home, about 15 1/2 hours after the journey started. A friend texted me and asked if I regretted going given how things turned out. โ€œNot at all,โ€ I said. โ€œIf I had to choose ten more times, Iโ€™d go every time.โ€ Iโ€™ll never, ever, regret supporting my students. Good night, all.
