With snowflakes welcoming the University of Redlands Bulldogs to Clemens Stadium, it seems winter kicked off just in time for the NCAA playoffs. The flurries in the sky and the flurry of late second quarter points scored by the Johnnies combined to provide a cold afternoon and a long trip back to Southern California for […]
Congratulations John! John Gagliardi: 2007 Liberty Mutual Division III Coach of the Year
Playoffs 1: Redlands Bulldogs
November 17, 2007 @ 12:00pm
Collegeville, MN
Johnnies Win: Next Stop Pella, Iowa
On a cool, gray day with occasional snow flurries falling in Collegeville the Johnnies hosted the champions of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Redlands University Bulldogs.
The Johnnies began the game with a bang. After kicking off to Redlands, the first play from scrimmage by Redlands was a pass play that was intercepted by SJU […]
Johnnie Gameday Predictions
One of my favorite things about the Johnnies’ near-annual participation in the playoffs is the chance to see teams that we rarely play. While St. John’s won’t have the opportunity to see a third straight season come to an end in Whitewater, WI—the UW-Whitewater Warhawks wouldn’t cross paths with the Johnnies until the Stagg Bowl—we […]
2002 Bulldog Memories
It’s Friday morning and most of us are just beginning to think about the work day and what it will take to make it through to “game day” tomorrow in Collegeville. Out on the west coast the University of Redlands Football team is now boarding a plane east and also pondering their first round NCAA playoff game vs. The Johnnies. Heading east this morning too with memories still fresh in his mind is former Bulldog player/captain Patrick Heisinger. Patrick relives what it was like for his Redlands teammates in 2002 and his hopes for Bulldog redemption in 2007! Thanks for your contribution Patrick.
BEARable Radio
Us Johnnie fans are a spoiled bunch. We expect perfection from our football team, and grumble loudly when our lads in red give us a less than super-human performance every week. But high expectations often drive success, and continued success often breeds smug contentment.
Like the team on the field, the SJU broadcasting team of Mark Lewendowski, Bryan Backes and the father-son sideline tandem of Mike and Charlie Carr has given Johnnie football fans as good a product you’ll get in football broadcasting. Nobody talks more football than these guys, so I thought I’d toss out a few questions to the guys about their work…
Here Come the Bulldogs
The dust has settled on another heartbreaking loss to Bethel, and the play-off bracket shook out in a way that not many would have imagined. Saint John’s gained the 4th seed and hosts the 5th seeded University of Redlands Bulldogs this Saturday at noon. The Bulldogs, co-champions from the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, carry an 8-1 record into the game. The Bulldogs last visited Clemens Stadium in the first round of the 2002 playoffs, where Saint John’s prevailed 31-24 in a hard-fought game.
Touchdown T’s Post-Corner
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 […]
5am
Loop back nearly 12 months and a “Ground Hog” like day reappears on the Collegeville horizon and it’s a bout of Gagliardi “déjà vu” all over again. Heck, when you’ve been the Football Sage at SJU for 55 seasons there’s a good chance things are bound to get a little quirky.
In 2006 the Johnnie season […]
