FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Small but Slow]

This message board has to rank as one of the best and most diverse on the web.  Where else can one discuss OAC football, football in general, a variety of political, societal, and educational topics, and expand one's vocabulary on a daily basis?

Small: In the 30s and 40s there was a radio quiz show called "Information Please", in which a panel of famous polymaths tried to answer on the spot on the air difficult questions sent by the home audience. If they could not, the sender received a substantial prize.

Not saying its better than the OAC page... but if you guys have some time... read up on the Liberty League Page in the Eastern Region.  Those cats truly bring up diverse topics and add humor to it.  Affectionately known as the LLPP .... Kirasdad can attest to the material in there.

One thing, you have to speak in 3rd person when you post in there.  Realitycheck should be pretty good at this...

RC being interviewed in HS/college following a game:


interviewer (goes by Ronnie):  "Paul, why do you think you are so prepared to dominate your opponent??"

RC:  "Well Ronnie... Paul Schreel only knows one speed.  Practice, walk throughs, games --- its all the same.  Paul Schreel is gonna bring it.  If you are gonna step on the field against Paul Schreel, you better have your "A" Game."

[Small but Slow]

LOL!  "Paul is getting angry!"

Frank- I recall reading about that show while researching quiz shows for a report in a broadcast history course at MUC.  If I recall correctly there was a scandal involving one of the polymaths and a contestant at some point.  At the time the prize awarded was significantly more than the panel was paid for their participation.  That would probably be the only way I would have won.

SaintsFan:

Are you following Badin's Baseball season?  They are playing for the state title on Saturday morning...  at the new park (huntington bank field) at 10 am.  I guess it is being broadcast on the web.

[reality check]

Listen Niehus, Paul Schreel doesn't have time for you.  

And I don't know why you have this sudden man-crush (I believe your type calls this a bromance) but your advances are unwanted.  I'm happily married with a wife and kid.  I know you Badin guys have issues but this is too much for me.

Hit on someone else SaintsRam.

Small: Thanks for the piece of history - a piece with which I was unfamiliar.

Seventies-

Just got my card in the mail today. Looking forward to telling people "Ya, this was the OTHER receiver." Or more appropriately, "I was the other receiver."


Thanks!

As you probably know, Bear Bryant was the other end at Alabama to Don Hutson.

[reality check]

Sometimes I think Wikipedia exists so that I can look up half the people or things Frank references in his posts.

[frank uible]

Did you look up "Don Hutson" and "Bear Bryant " together? Was I right?

[frank uible]

I googled "Eureka College McKinzie Field" and came up with a website which stated that Reagan played on that field. According to another source that field was opened for football in 1913.

No I looked up Don Hutson.  Now I know who the "first star receiver of the NFL was".  I already knew a thing or two about the other guy.
