The St. Thomas football team (2-1 overall, 2-0 MIAC) plays St. John's (1-2, 1-1) at 1 p.m. Saturday in Collegeville. It's the 100th anniversary of the first football game between the institutions. Read more about this century-old rivalry.

Two fan buses (and a third if the first two fill) will leave the arches at 11 a.m. Saturday. Buses return from St. John’s at 5:30 p.m. The bus ride is free with your St. Thomas I.D. If you get a ride to the game with friends but want to return on the bus, two-way riders have priority; you may board a bus back to UST only if there’s room.
