Papa KS used to watch Action News.  I remember when Larry Kane went off to NY to work for the Network and came back a couple of years later because he enjoyed Philly more.

Larry Kane was a young reporter when he covered the Beatles US tours in 1964 & 65.  He became good friends the fab four.  Lennon used to visit him in Philly when John lived in NY.  Kane wrote a book called Ticket to Ride, that JT picked up at a discount book store while on vacation.  Good read for any Beatle fan.  Very inside stuff.

your spot on JT larry kane knows a lot about the fab four...he calls in and is on a show on 102.9 in  philly w/ guy named andre gardner who is regarded as one of the leading authorities on the beatles. the 2 of them are incredible  w/ their inside stories and information on the beatles.

FormerWU grew up as a Channel 10 guy, but has seen the light and is now an Action News guy all the way.  Too many hotties not to watch.

Are you serious that Mrs Noah was taking care of business under the table.  Got to love Sat morning TV.  I wonder what Kelly was doing to Zack on Saved by the Bell.

[PBR...]

no ish former....hilarious stories from captn and mrs. noah....pbr guesses this late in their lives they might as well tell all the stories and they had some funny ones...pbr thinks they might even have the interview still on prestonandsteve.com where she talks about it.

Are you going to WU camp at any time this year?

Simba

Welcome back from your exile.  Sorry it is on a sad note...

Simba,

I remember him too - he was a monster of a player.

What a tragedy and shame - please convey my sincere sympathies across the 7,000 miles and year to his family if you have the opportunity.

No parent ever wants to bury a child - it just seems to violate the natural order of things.

Great to see you on the site again.  And, Lyco defense yield something like 7 yards a game or some such weird fact on passing during those years.  What a collection of talent in one group of guys.

Bman -

With LittleFormerWU playing this year, I won't have the time to make it to WU camp.  You will have to go and give us a scouting report.

Release Date: Tuesday, August 07, 2007


Just thought everyone would like to see the poll. On another note, I want to extend my condolences to Bo Tkach's family. As a former teammate of his, it really puts in to perspective just how short life really is.

To CDTLB and other pre-season aficionados,

Remember - Georgetown soundly beat Villanova two times in the regular Big East season before they met for the national championship in 1985.

As I recall, Patrick Ewing never did get that NCAA ring, or come to think of it, that NBA ring either.

That is why they play the games - I say, Coach G and staff will use this ranking for motivation every time they play someone higher than them.

Let's see where Lycoming stands when the dust clears - the gridiron is a good place to find the true strength of teams.

Best of luck to all MAC teams, but especially, GO WARRIORS!

Ewing and Georgetown won it the year before they played Villanova, beating Olajuwon, Drexler and Houston's Phi Slama Jama.

It's only like one of my greatest memories from being 8 years old. 

And now back to your regularly scheduled MAC football chatter.

Lyco just curious why you made it seem like the preseason poll was an attack on the Warriors? I was merely stating what the coaches came up with and going in to camp the MAC coaches figure them as the third worst team. And for future reference please keep your metaphors out of the mid 80's and to a time when I was actually alive so I can relate to them (joking of course)

cd...lyco has been around a long time and my guess would be lyco doesnt consider it an attack against lyco but is merely stating that he totally disagrees with the poll and is on the record of stating he thinks lyco will finish higher than this poll predicts after all the dust settles from the season. also if you think this is an attack just wait until the regular season starts there will be plenty-o trash talkin and attacks on teams....

This an attack? No.    A warning? Definitely.     Can't wait for the trash talking to start. Game On.

When looking at the preseason poll, someone reminded me to keep the vote totals in mind along with the positions.  Lycoming may be sixth, but there's an incredibly thin margin between three through 6.  That speaks to the parity in this conference coming into 2007.

3. Delaware Valley (1) – 34 points
3. King's – 34 points
5. Lebanon Valley – 33 points
6. Lycoming – 31 points
