Bill, do you know if they have electricity available on the visitors side?  I may be sitting in with the AU Pep Band and would need power for my bass amp.

pbr senses some heavy duty john paul jones zep jams especially at halftime....

AU Pep Band's repertoire is somewhat limited...Bang the Drum All Day, Blitzkrieg Bop, Smoke on the Water (featuring KS on bass!!), Louie-Louie, Gonna Fly Now, Cleveland Rocks...and the Saxon Fight Song!

But AU Pep Band has never before been "plugged in" so it will be interesting to see what KS brings into the mix.

At present, the band is looking like THREE trumpets, TWO trombones, ONE clarinet, ONE (or more) kazoos, TWO on percussion......and KnightStalker on bass!!

On Saxon Warriors!

Seems the Aggies are in for a real test of their run defense this Saturday.....

Kean currently has a running back named Jason Gwaltney on their roster......

He was a academic wash out at West Virginia Univesity but opened some eys their with his talent before this happened.  He lists at 6'1" and goes about 235 with speed and moves, supposedly the real deal.

You can google him on YouTube and see some of his highlights.

Sure the Aggies will come up with something to contain him. Can't make the game but will be following on the net! 

Go Aggies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AU

As far as I know, we DO NOT have electricity on the visitor's side.

I also think it would take quite a long extension cord  to reach from the nearest outlet.

I supposed you could have the band director call our athletics department, and request electricity. Perhaps there is a solution out there!

Ha ha! Band director? AU Pep Band is a band of students, gypsies and homeless people armed with instruments who wander around the country shadowing their beloved Saxons. There is no director. Pep is the "facilitator" although AU's director of bands runs our "band camp" and is getting more involved this year.

Right after reading this post yesterday, I went off to a meeting and while walking between buildings was listening to AU's carillonneur, who plays the bells daily during the semester, and couldn't quite place the tune.  As I reached my destination I finally did and it was Stairway to Heaven!  I laughed at both the irony of the two occurances and hearing Led Zeppelin played on bells.

Gwaltney reminds me of the late Ironhead Heyward.  A big guy with "little man's" feet.  Should be interesting on Saturday.

Heyward used to kick the crap out of me in HS.

JT,

Great quotes, but to be true your must give the real attribution:

Sergeant Stryker, played by John Wayne, in the movie, "The Sands of Iwo Jima".

An interesting side light to the story is the following:

the three surviving Flag Raisers appeared in the movie as well as some other veterans from the island fighting.

I visited Iwo Jima and Suribachi and let me tell you - there is no one in any football league tougher than those Marines who fight and died on that island.

I get chills simply sitting here and typing this post thinking about what they suffered so we could be free to flisten to rock and roll music, bad mouth our country and grow our hair long.  Which comes from another movie, anyone?

Semper Fidelis to all Devil Dogs alive or R.I.P.!

Lyco, good to see you back.  I know two Marines that fought on Iwo, My dads uncle Dan (who was Lt. Dan in the Marines, discharged as Capt. Dan.) and one of the members of my VFW post.  Neither will really talk about it beyond their outfit and the stories of before and after.  My dads uncle never spoke about it, we knew he got the Purple Heart on Iwo but did not learn of his Bronze Star until after he died.

I know from reading "Flags of our Fathers" that one of the raisers John Bradly who was a Navy Corpsman with the Marines did not want to be in the movie but was ordered to by the govt.

Right on Rams!! All the best wishes to everyone who has served or is currently serving.

If you've got the "Red Grill" going, I'll be sure to stop over. I'll be up early to watch Formula 1 qualifying, then I'll be at Ralston. Cheers everyone

[LD2781]

Good luck Devils tomorrow. Hope that coach Mosca is given the opportunity to bring the program to where it should be given the challenges internally & externally in order to be a factor in the MAC for years to come.

Need the defense to operate like they did in '99................If you make a mistake, make it an aggresive mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wesleydad]

going to make the trip to wilkes today to watch a game.  G-manWu, I will try to find you when I get up there.  I will have some wesley football shirt on.  looking forward to a good game, at least that what it looks like on paper.  2 hour ride so i should be there by 1200 or so.  weather looks like it will hold off until after the game.

[PrideFan1]

will anyone be at the springfield/king's game today?
