You sound like my EX......

And, while on THAT subject, what are y'all doing for Valentine's Day?!!!

SaintsFAN · February 27, 2008, 03:30:40 PM

Bob,

HA. I just saw this. At least she limits it to "damn" only then.

My plans for Valentines Day included heading to nightclub downtown. With some of the fellas only.

If i'm going to spend money on that day...its going to be on myself only. Call me jaded. . . .

You also might want to take a look at the OAC page, Bob. Some jackass is in there taking pop shots at Sirianni. The funny thing is, this guy is a Marietta fan (Spence)

Congratulations to the Thomas More womens basketball team....they finished the year 28-0, you read that correctly and got the #1 seed in their region. This means they will be HOSTING the first two rounds of the NCAA D3 basketball tournament in Crestview Hills.

To all TMC alumni that visit this site, I thought I would take a second to let you know that Jim Hilvert and the rest of the coaching staff are putting together the first annual TMC Football Golf Outing on May 31 at Twins Oak Golf Course. If anyone wants information such as former players, alumni, or even former MSJ players who played for Hilvert and wanting to help him out please visit www.TMCfootball.com where you can find out all the information. If anyone wants information on here just reply and leave your e-mail address and I will send something to you.

Now, having teased for a couple weeks, the Pirates are where we've become accustomed (heading quickly for double-digits below .500), there's one thing I need to know:

How long until kickoff?

SaintsFAN · April 23, 2008, 10:44:02 AM

Bob,

Same with the Reds....minus the teasing. We're only in good shape when Cueto or Volquez are pitching....thats two days a week. Not good...

In the month of May the VFW distributes Buddy Poppies. Please take time to give a dollar and take a poppy. The proceeds of this go to aid the Disabled Vets

In Flander's Field
by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields.

Bob,

I'm going to the Pirates/Reds game tomorrow night. Gotta see the new stud, Jay Bruce.

BTW, all PAC'ers....the field turf is being installed this week at Thomas More....looks great. Look forward to hosting PAC teams on campus in 08.

Bob.Gregg · May 30, 2008, 04:15:36 PM

You picked a great game to go to, SaintsFan.

Let's Go Bucs!
We're only about 3 pitchers shy of a starting rotation....

SaintsFAN · June 03, 2008, 10:16:56 AM

Yep....Bob, that was the game the Bucs got after the Reds. For some reason, the Reds are playing well right now. I think its Jay Bruce.

the playing surface has been installed at Bank of Kentucky Field.... if you want to see pictures:

Thomas More also released a list of kids who have MADE DEPOSITS (which we all know is a committment to the program) for 2008. We will have 66 rookies in 2008...and it looks like the staff did VERY well in the Cincinnati area.

The Saints also had their first annual "football-only" alumni golf outing on Saturday. Though we only had 80 people there, its a big step in the right direction. They are trying to get alumni (who were the reason the program was the fastest to 100 wins in D3) more involved with the program. This can only help out the Saints with added support.

Things are definitely looking up for Thomas More.

Hey SaintsFAN...

The Bison have justed completed putting down their new turf with a new track and lights to be completed by August. The PAC schools all seem to be upgrading facilities in the past few years. A big plus for the conference.

My son grabbed a couple All-American honors in track this spring and preparing for better results with the Bison in the fall.

See your boys for homecoming!!!

SaintsFAN · June 19, 2008, 01:27:17 PM

Yep....We'll be seeing the Bison up there this year. The Saints should be a handful in 2008. 25 of the 66 recruits were selected to all star teams following their seasons.

The improvements of facilities in the PAC is very good, IMO. Should be an exciting year

South Willy · July 01, 2008, 04:19:19 PM

SaintsFAN

Congrats on your 31st...

Thomas More is quite happy in a very, very competitive conference (top to bottom...no weeks off)...I agree with your statement on the PAC but the consistency of the bottom 4-5 teams is just not there even when they play each other. In two seasons watching the Bison at home, I never have any idea which team will show up and when playing a bottom half team, I never know what to expect from them.

What do you think about W & J's preseason ranking (#2 to #5)? Not bad for the PAC. I wonder if they scrimmage MNU this year?
