When a season ends as planned, as the 2003 football season did for St. John’s, it is a rare and sweet occurrence—one team having risen above the field and proven themselves the best. […]

The Board, The Tailgate and The Game… two out of 3 ain’t bad
Finding renewed life after a first round victory over the Redlands Bulldogs The Johnnie Footballers were now set to continue their victory march down I35 to Pella, Iowa. As a post Thanksgiving Day treat the Central College Dutch were next on the schedule. The Dutch themselves were fresh off an undefeated season and a first […]

NCAA Playoffs Round 2 Photos: Central of Iowa
My day started with OAS and son of ROR rolling into my hotel room at 2AM smelling like they had just worked second shift at a cigarette factory. An early visit to The Jaarsma Bakery and a couple of Dutch Letters later and it was looking to be a great day in Pella.

You know it’s a big game when the Original Rat, Frank Berres ‘57, is in the house
Dutch Stomp the Johnnies 37-7
On a day that began like so many in my personal history of Johnnie football road play-off games I rose in the pre-dawn hours to walk outside to a cool and windy day. I proceed to Eden Prairie to meet my traveling party. We picked up the final member of our group at a Bloomington […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
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 […]
Dutch Treat
I’m looking forward to Saturday, when the Johnnies make the now familiar post-season trek to Pella, Iowa, to face the Dutchmen in Round 2 of the 2007 playoffs. Known for their tulip festival and windows, Pella is a quaint town of 10,000.
Back to Pella
In a similar fashion to 2006, the Saint John’s Johnnies are set to travel to Pella, Iowa this Saturday to face off with the top-seeded Central Dutch. The 11-0 Dutch of the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference defeated Olivet 38-17 in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Head coach Jeff McMartin, in his 4th season, has coached his team to a perfect season thus far, but the Dutch have been pushed on several occasions. Of their 11 wins, 5 have been by a margin of 7 points or less. An intense game will surely ensue when these two storied teams take to the field.
Touchdown T’s Post-Corner
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 […]
The Bully returns to the Block
Chase Pollack hauls in a TD…that wasn’t.
Inspiration in the form of Jimmy “Swagger” and his wide open offensive attack made a long awaited return to Clemens Stadium Saturday afternoon. Just when it appeared offensive coordinator Jimmy Gagliardi was contemplating a return to the Power I, the J’s rolled out their more familiar forward passing attack […]
