Schaid and Weber in All-American Bowl!

Both Pioneers are in the front row (sitting).  Cody Weber #5 is far left and TJ Schaid #28 is the fourth in from the left.

Pioneer seniors TJ Schaid and Cody Weber competed last weekend in the 2012 All-American Bowl held in the Metrodome in Minneapolis.  Their Stripes team fell to the Stars team 19-7, but Weber had the lone TD for Stripes!  

Both guys said it was a really cool way to finish their careers alongside a good friend and teammate and the high level of competition within the game.

Check back soon for box score and more pictures.

Brinkman, Taylor, and Team USA Win in Mexico!

Pioneer Football seniors Tom Brinkman and Brian Taylor were selected to play in this past weekend's Tazon de Estrellas in Guadalajara, Mexico representing the United States.  Team Stars and Stripes beat the CONADEIP All-Stars from Mexico 32-15 in the fourth annual All-Star game.

They are now back on campus and will take finals this week before heading off to Minneapolis on Saturday with teammates TJ Schaid and Cody Weber, to play in the All-American Bowl.  Four of the five seniors from Grinnell will finish their careers together in an All-Star game.  Pretty cool experience for those guys!

Pioneer Football Managers

Brieauna Bradley '13

We are so lucky to have had such wonderful, dedicated, and hard-working people serve as Pioneer Football Managers over the last few years.  This year's group included Brieauna Bradley, Steph Haines, Alysia Horcher and Lorejune Fernandez.  Without their help, the football team would struggle mightily to stay afloat.  They are involved in so much of the program on a daily basis, but perhaps their emotional support and love for Grinnell Football are their greatest gift to the program.

Bri, Steph, Alysia and Lorejune - We are forever thankful!

Grinnell's student newspaper (The Scarlet & Black) published a story about Grinnell's athletic programs managers, and featured our own Steph Haines.

Pioneer Prospect Video

As we approach our application deadline we put together this video to further enhance Grinnell in the eyes of our prospective student-athletes.  We interviewed our 5 graduating seniors to give their perspective on Grinnell and Pioneer Football and this is what they said:
