That's not all Ric.  Rocky used to know Buckwheat personally and played catch with him on many occasions as a kid.  "Buckwheat has the best double move I've ever seen in person," Rocky was once quoted as a youngster.  

Tossing the football around with Buckwheat and the other little rascals was just the beginning of things to come for the young Pentello.  Of course, that was just one of the memorable moments of young Rocky's life.  After being drafted into the army, he fought bravely on the beaches of Normandy and was given a purple heart for an injury he received on D Day; he was clipped by a German bullet when the protection around him broke down and he was forced to scramble (much like what he experiences today).  When he finally came back home after the war, he came on some hard times.  As a result Rocky had to sell much of his memorabilia he had gathered over the years.  First to go was the autographed photo of he and Lou Gehrig from 1931, in the middle of the Iron Horse's successive games streak.  He ultimately parted with his homemade whiskey still that got he and his family through prohibition and had to give up his ticket stubs to Woodstock as well.  Times haven't always been so great for Rocky and he's seen his share of up's and down's, from the Depression to today, it's been a rollercoaster ride.

So now Rocky has one last chance to beat Mount Union.  I wish him luck.  It appears one of the only things he has yet to accomplish in his long life.

legend has it 1896 Rocky sold his kidney on the black mark for some magic beans... When those beans sprouted they created a huge stalk... One day Rocky went out back to see how his beans were doing and what he noticed was magnificent... The stalk had risen through the clouds... Rocky still not feeling well from his surgery climbed and climbed up this stalk... He finally made it to the top... When Rocky jumped off the stalk he noticed a beautiful Foutain... He was really thirsty and tired from his climb and decided to get a drink and cool off... All of a sudden Rocky felt great like he had been rejuvenated... Rocky said he felt like a teenager... Upon leaving he climbed down and chopped through the stalk... Rocky thought he was the only one to have come across this what he called "foutain of youth" That was the last day anyone saw old Rocky... Legend has it he has been playing football for some team in Bexley and has been for years now.. Though he sports a very nice tan from being so close to the sun when he climbed the stalk

We really are pretty bad, aren't we?

Go Raiders!

Weather will not be a factor for Rocky.  Back during the 1930s he used to deliver milk for the neigbhorhood in Westerville at 4 am regardless of the weather.  If he can cary around pales of cream on a cold January Westervilel morning I don't anticipate Saturday providing much of a challenge.  The only thing that got him out of his milk job was when he did a couple of tours in teh Navy.  He had a front row seat at the Battle of Midway.  Saved a couple of his fellow seamen.

You know what though, as rough as the milk delivery job was, and as bad as the pay was, a nickel for every 25 quarts, Rocky was happy to have the job and never complained.  Thats the way his generation was.

Hey guys--we must be wrong about all this stuff that Rocky did earlier in his life, 'cause if he had done all them good thin's then he'd be in the runnin' for the Gagliardi, wouldn't he?

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Stop making fun of how old Rocky Pentello is.  He really isn't any older than Trusnik or Stickley and you guys don't pick on them?  Rocky is the greatest QB EVER in the OAC and probably in D3Fooball history.  You should kneel at the feet of Rocky and kiss his toes because you are not worthy of even mentioning his name.  You guys are all just a bunch of big jerks!!!!!

What were you guys smokin' while I was in Massillon?

If we are now predicting:

If there were only 8 passing TD's in 12 games against Mount this year there won't be more than three tomorrow. (to Capital recievers)

Mount 42
Capital 21

I  get a divorce next year after my wife's Christain Family computer software finds multiple occurences of the word assmann on the family computer

[theotherguy]

stickleys not as old as rocky... graduated in 02 from massillon jackson high school. i guess we will get to see which "old" guy gets the better of the other.

Don't pick on Marty, he has the best surname in college football!

Seriously, ya'll have to stop, I am giving a test right now in my Sophomore US history class and I am laughing outloud.  

My kids are being tested over the Roosevelt (teddy) administration, and for extra credit they were asked who actually invented the foward pass in football, a lot of you out there would say Knute Rockne, but truth is, Knute's first Quaterback, Rocky Pentello actually came up with the idea.

Go Raiders!!!

ps- Raiders 34, Capitla 6 (you know they have problem with the extra point thingy)

[theaprof]

I was searching through the NCAA record books and found one (soon to be two) records that Rocky actually does hold--

He is the only quarterback in recorded history to go 0-5 against the Raiders.

Tomorrow he will be the only one to have gone 0-6!

[e_lee]

Before you start making fun of Assmann, its pronounced Ossman, so the humor is gone.  Okay, maybe not.

Just for the record, my only problem with most of the Pentello age jokes is that they were not original or funny, but recently new life has been put back into them recently.

I knew he was over 12,000 yards and all, but I didnt realize that he was withing 400 yards of reaching top ten all time in the NCAA All-Divisions career passing records.

[Ajwassup]

and next year he'll be 0-7


or is he finally graduating

.....saved a couple of his fellow seamen......

Saved some of his semen, eh?  Does that mean we're going to be seeing a band of Rocky clones running Westerville for years to come?




Since we're on the subject of guys with never ending NCAA eligibility at Capital, when do the Hausler boys finally run out of extra years?
