Last year the Macalester Scots slipped by the Carleton Knights on a last second field goal. The Knights have had a year to think about how they lost the “Book of Knowledge,” the award handed to the winner of the yearly battle, and were adamant that they were not going to let Macalester get on […]
Last season Cinderella made her debut in the national pantheon that is Division-III college football. The Macalester College Scots, long the doormat of the sport, stepped out from the carriage and became the darlings of a nation. A 9-2 season was capped off by their first conference championship in decades and their first ever trip […]
Harry S Truman once famously said that “the buck stops here.” At Macalester College they have a little different way of looking at it. For the Scots the “buck starts here,” with here being school President Brian Rosenberg. Since Dr. Rosenberg has taken over the school as its President he has created an atmosphere where […]
The clock finally did strike midnight for the Macalester Scots football team, but not at a grand ball. Instead it happened on a football field in Whitewater, WI. The Scots were defeated 55-2 by the Warhawks, in a game that was virtually over by the end of the first quarter. It was a tough loss […]
The Macalester Scots are having a season that is beyond words. In their first season in the Midwest Conference they have quickly risen to become one of the best “feel good” stories of the year.

The clock struck midnight on the Macalester Scots football team in Jacksonville, IL last Saturday, but their carriage did not turn into a pumpkin, they did not find themselves in rags, their horses were not mice again and slipper was still on their foot.

Sit backs kids. It’s time for a little story. Once upon a time there was a college in Minnesota that was well known for its rigorous academic standards, but not really so much for its ability to play football. In fact, all throughout the land others mocked the program, making it the laughingstock throughout the […]
You will have to excuse Macalester Scots players Zandy Stowell and Samson Bialostok if they decide to ruin the day of the Illinois College Blueboys on Saturday. The two have been kind of rude like that lately. Whether they are at home or on the road, they have simply done nothing but be offensive, and the […]
This Saturday the Macalester Scots will travel to Jacksonville looking to win the school’s first conference championship in 67 years.

This Saturday the Macalester Scots will be taking the field against Illinois College looking to win the Midwest Conference title, while also extending their school record win total to nine games.

Two seasons ago the Macalester Scots were looking for a new conference to join after spending a decade as independents in football. They finally settled on the Midwest Conference (MWC) as their new home. Who would have known that in their first season the Scots would be such rude guests? Macalester traveled to Wisconsin for […]
This last Saturday was Senior Day for the Macalester Scots football team. It was a big day that saw the team square off against Carroll University in what was one of the biggest contests in school history.

This weekend they will cross the border into Wisconsin to face St. Norbert in a battle that will determine who will win the North Division […]
There is one thing that can be said about the Macalester Scots coaching staff; they know how to make a game plan work. Last week Offensive Coordinator Marc Davies was asked how he intended to design his offensive scheme, considering that the Carroll Pioneers had such a high powered offense. Was he going to grind […]
In their first season in the Midwest Conference (MWC), the Macalester Scots will have a chance to make history against the Carroll Pioneers. Not only can they stake their claim to the North Division lead, but also will tie a school record with their seventh win. To say the team is excited is like saying […]
While this may not be the most appropriate way to begin a sports article, I want to employ my fellow writers out there to stop spending as much time talking to the quarterbacks, running backs and linebackers. If they want to have an interview that will leave them laughing out loud and hear stories that […]
Earlier this week Macalester Scots Coach Tony Jennison praised the progress of his senior quarterback, Samson Bialostok, speaking of how the QB has really been stepping up his game over the last three contests. After one quarter on Saturday he didn’t just step up his game; he scaled a mountain. The senior led three first […]
Macalester College is one of the finest academic institutions in all of America. They are always ranked in the top 25 schools for academic greatness and boast a student body that is bright, introspective and imaginative.

While not looking past the Vikings, a win by the Scots this weekend will put them in a head-on collision […]
In the 1960s, one of the most beloved television shows of all-time aired. It was called The Andy Griffith Show and was about a small-town sheriff who was beloved by his community, not only because of his quick wit and fast-thinking solutions to problems, but also because of the way that he interacted with people. […]
Earlier in the week Macalester Scots Head Coach Tony Jennison commented to the Minor League Sports Report that the Beloit College Buccaneers were a team to be reckoned with because the Bucs new Head Coach, Seth Duerr, was a real quality coach who was getting the most out of a roster of just 33-players. Some […]
Riding a three-game winning streak the Macalester Scots cross the border into Wisconsin for the second weekend in a row, this time to face the Beloit College Buccaneers. This battle of North Division combatants pits the 4-1 Scots against the 2-3 Buccaneers in a game that seems to be a clear mismatch in favor of […]
Consider this for a moment. You own a company and you hire a new employ who has a resume that looks pretty good, but has never quite excelled. However, once he walks through the doors to your organization not only does he prove to be a real star, but he actually takes over. He out […]
For over a decade the Macalester Scots played as an independent team, but clearly they are liking being part of a conference now.

Not since William Wallace and Robert the Bruce took to the battlefield to free Scotland from the rule of England have three men shown as much courage and maturity in battle as Ryan and Konnor Fleming and Jole Miller. Ok, that is a little overdramatic for sure, but the reality is that these three men […]
Most college students today don’t remember a television show called The Odd Couple, so a little enlightenment is in order. The show was about two men, one a sports writer (Oscar), the other a professional photographer (Felix), who both wind up divorced. Felix is the one who is divorced last and asks to move in […]
The guy on the sidelines coaching the Macalester Scots football team may look more like a pastor or college professor, but make no mistake, Tony Jennison is a football coach and a darn good one. In just seven years, Coach Jennison has turned around a program with a long history of losing, and in the […]
On a night when Hamline University saw a record crowd of over 2,400 in attendance, the home crowd left happy as their team delivered a huge victory over rival Macalester. While the defense had an outstanding game and gave their offense incredible field position virtually all night, it was the running of star half back […]

James Rosenbury Speaks Success into Lives of Macalester Scots – Loudly!
One game into the Macalester College football season, Head Coach Tony Jennison is still trying to figure out what his 2015 team is about.
