More sad news:

Duffy's Shamrock Bar in downtown Denver will be giving 'LAST CALL' on Nov. 30, 2006.

That's a shame.  I watched the ND-BC game there in 1974!

1974 was the year those two great Irishmen, Frank and Ken Lombardi, moved the great establishment from Tremont Place to its present location on Court Place.
From today's Denver Compost:
"...St. Pat's Day revelers would camp out in sleeping bags to be first in the door for green beer and corned beef."
They have 'World Famous' Irish Coffee but I seriously doubt you could get a Minnesota Martini there - probably leaves out a lot of our posters.

fins,
You are right - Nov. 30 will be a dark, dark day.

  Wonka, I could've been on the board, but I was busy taking in a double feature of "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" followed by "Phat Beach" til' 4am....it was glorious.

A couple thoughts on the BU posters...

BUdefense-  I know  you miss Bethel football but, your random comments are somewhat disturbing.  We would all be better off if you'd either A)discuss your negativity with those you struggle with B) share about the various struggles you had personally at Bethel resulting in criticism from board members or C) Give true insights such as the comment regarding the players you've talked to about Saturday.  I know you'll take offense to this however I feel all this talk is quite hypocritical and figured the coaches and namely players do not need to see this.

The White Silly- Is probably the most funny as well as one of if not the best athletes on this board.  I am thrilled to see the relationship you and Wonka have developing, and what are your thoughts on beads?

Chuck Norris Boy- You love him so much you want to have his babies?

Royalachillies- A proud parent, who likes to talk

Cheese- Yes Please

[Touchdown Tommy]

Just gonna go out on a limb here but I think as President of the Classless A$$hole Club I retain power to speak for my membership.  BUDefense and Carl Spackler are by far the two best posters from Bethel.

and that doesn't surprise me...especially coming from a Johnnie

Would you have been offended if they were looking at scantily clad women on the laptop??

In regards to the MIAC awards;

From what I've seen this year;


MVP=I like the Porta kid from BU, but why isn't this #2 Carr kid being talked about??  When I've seen him play, he has played defense, a great rusher who defends the run and has had many sacks and tackles for loss, and defends the pass just as well.  Playes offense, rushes and passes the ball for yardage and TD's!  And have seen him fake punts, both rushing and passing, mostly to his brother.  

Lineman=I'm not sure the #8 from SJU is considered a lineman or OLB, but he's good.  I also like the kid from BU on the defensive line, #37.

Coach=don't know much about each program enough to know where they've been and how far the coaches have taken them, but off the cuff, I'd have to say BU's coach or coaches, defense has been very good as well.  You'd have to say the SJU coach, who keeps on winning!

Hey Gramps: Where were you on Saturday?  We were looking for you at the tailgate party...

[Scrubby41]

...if you are talking about me, my grandson and I went up in the SJU stands and sat there.

Dude, Chuck Norris is hung like a freakin' rhino!! 

Do we even want to know how you know this? Even I am grossed out by that mental image!

[raiderguy]

MR,

I can't believe I am doing this (defending anything ND) but you might want to give Charlie Weiss a break. He had complications from (help me KR sp) gastric bypass surgery and nearly died. Complications from that has affected his legs. That is why he has a limp. I can't give you the details but it was on his interview on 60 Minutes earlier this year.

Hey all-

Just a quick link referencing the two most commonly heard of teammates of mine from this year.

Good to see Auggie athletes getting pub for the good things we do.

No way, Scrubby picks all Royals? Shocker of the year!

BU's O line rules on Sat with Porta breakin out for 175 yds while Wetzell goes 19 for 22 with 380 yds!!!


[/quote]

Yes, maybe Porta (if healthy) will run for 100+ yards.  Wetzell will not complete 90% of his passes.  I see 15 for 32 with a TD and 2 picks.  BU defense will keep them in the game.

Any predictions for this weekend's BIG 10 Showcase?
