He has led Marshall to an undefeated season this year and has probably been more crucial to his team’s success than any other player in the country. http://www.pietisten.org/spring00/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/spring00/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer00/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer00/sports.html I always hate trying to come up with a prediction in the summer. http://www.pietisten.org/winter00/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/winter00/sports.html This year, against all odds, the trophy goes to another Twin Cities native—Chris Weinke of Florida State University. After leading the FSU Seminoles to the national title last year, it appears that he will again quarterback his team in the championship game. If that argument fails to sway the reader, the 33 touchdown passes he has thrown should be enough. http://www.pietisten.org/summer01/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer01/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer02/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer02/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/winter0203/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/winter0203/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/winter0304/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/winter0304/sport.html The Sport Prophet has been accused on occasion of having a pro-Minnesota bias. After some soul searching, the Prophet has concluded that, yes, there probably is a kernel of truth in this accusation. http://www.pietisten.org/fall04/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/fall04/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/christmas06/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/christmas06/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/spring07/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/spring07/sport.html Maybe people think prophecy is simply a matter of inspiration given to the prophet in a momentary flash and all he has to do is say it. http://www.pietisten.org/christmas07/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/christmas07/sport.html The Waldenström Award is given for outstanding play to the college football player Pietisten selects. Again this year we are faced with a difficult decision. http://www.pietisten.org/spring08/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/spring08/sport.html I will admit that I am a convert to Jayhawk basketball. I was once indifferent to their wins, losses, and frequent early exits from the NCAA tournament; however, the scales fell from my eyes shortly after I accepted a job at the University of Kansas Hospital and I have seen the light. http://www.pietisten.org/christmas08/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/christmas08/sport.html <teaser/> http://www.pietisten.org/summer09/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/summer09/sport.html My daughter, Violet, has decided to play Tee-ball this year, largely because her friend, Macy, signed up for the team. http://www.pietisten.org/epiphany10/sport.html http://www.pietisten.org/epiphany10/sport.html In lieu of a sport prophecy, I would like to use this space to pay tribute to the retiring editor, Phil Johnson. http://www.pietisten.org/xxv/1/sports.html http://www.pietisten.org/xxv/1/sports.html The baseball world may quickly forget “HGH,” “Canseco” and “Yankee Stadium” in 2010, when “ballparka” becomes the term du jour across the national pastime. A “ballparka,” of course, is the outer jacket one wears to a chilly outdoor baseball game. And come October, fans will need one when the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners square off for the American League pennant.
