Just got back from travelling....that happened 10 minutes from my house...
We all are in shock...and frankly shaken...since it was so close...

Now I know why the Amish don't want to associate with us...

Why do sickos like this have to take other people with them? Just take yourself out.

Hey Bman,

I posted this over in the NJAC. My Dad had a pretty cool idea. Since Rowan and Widener will start playing each other next year, can we begin a trophy game? Like the Rt. 322 cup or jug. How does a trophy game start anyway?

I just sent an email to Coach Accorsi and my AD. I don't know if it is doable, but I thought I'd pass on the idea. Sometimes Dad actually has a good idea.

How about "The Commodore Barry Cup" or "Just Driving Through to get to Ocean City Jug".

I might run into Coach Wood at Homecoming this weekend. I'll bring it up to him If I get a chance.

My Dad a Widener alum (Penn Military) thought that since both were on or next to Rt. 322 and about 20 miles apart, he said cup or jug. But the Commodore Barry Cup has a nice ring to it.

I just saw your comment on the NJAC board thoughts below:
"JT

I like the Idea! For Chester...A stolen vehicle would be appropriate! For Rowan, a John Deere tractor would be good...

How about mounting a mini stolen John Deere tractor on a pedestal

"

PS who was Commodore Barry anyway? Was he on Gilligan's Island?

Commodor John Barry is known as the Father of the US Navy from the Revolutionary War era. His statue is right on the lawn of Independence Hall in Philly.

At least my Dad is going to stop asking me why they don't schedule each other.

Dad: [every year] I don't know why they don't play each other. Their only a half hour apart. Hell their on the same goddamn road.

JT: [every year] Someday it will come together. Widener needs more openings, the MAC gives them a full schedule.

Dad: [every year] It just makes sense. They need to get it done.

JT: [every year] I know Dad. I know.

The new block schedule for NJAC messed up a 2006 meeting.

JT: [every year] No, I didn't Dad. Why don't you get out of the recliner and do it yourself.

Dad: [every year] Just like a Glassboro State punk, no respect for the code, no respect for the Corps. Oh I long for the time when a man in uniform can take a broom and walk on the football field at halftime.

JT: [every year] Mom, Dad's doing it again....

You can't grow up with "The Great Santini" [he loves it when I tell people that] and be a punk. Plus, I'm not the Widener average grad... mid 30's-40's and living at home.

And like Dad says, "The last corps of cadets at PMC, was the last time a real man went to that school."

I assume from that remark of your father's that at one time PMC allowed their horses on the football field. Or am I missing something? Kindly advise soonest ....

The "Big" thing at Widener during homecoming is the PMC alums march on the field with brooms. This is in honor of when we were at war and had no weapons at the school. All were being used overseas.

JT - is the back of your head flat from the basketball being bounced off of it?

formerwu:

That's a nice custom, honoring, as it does, the history and heritage of the institution.

I've been connected with LVC long enough remember when the Dutchmen played the all-male red-and-gold of PMC. (Sadly, the cadets never brought the horses to Lebanon or Annville. They might have made for an interesting half-time show.

Tomorrow's Homecoming in Doylestown. But if you can't come home, you can at least listen to the football game...

Well, here I am in Portland, Oregon, listening to the Wilkes - Lycoming game and things are not going well for the lads from Williamsport.

My initial reactions to the game - currently 30 - 7 in favor of Wilkes - is that Wilkes has a dominating front four on defense and truly used the bye week well to study game field. There were many times on both sides of the ball that the Colonels seemed to know exactly what defense or offense to call.

That said. I saw Lycoming play Wilkes last year and it was a close, hard-fought won battle by Wilkes. They looked for real then and they sound for real now.

Congrats to the Colonels - I hope they can win it all and represent the MAC in the NCAAs.

As for Lycoming - my sense is that they do not quite have a true running game and most of MAC football is run-based to set up the pass.

All Lyco fans were very spoiled by the talent of the mid to late 1990s that enabled the Warriors to effectively stand with some of the very best programs in D3 nation-wide. All Lyco fans miss those teams but still bleed blue and gold with today's Warriors.

Thanks for the text msgs last week Simba!
