College campuses are usually beautiful places.  Now that I am older, I wonder why we waste them on the youth.

After turning 67 yesterday, I say AMEN. ;D

SJU does look gorgeous, but I will suggest at least two others into the competition: Guilford College (ODAC, D3) and Miami of Ohio (D1).  There are also several others that I think are equally gorgeous, but my feeble brain is not conjuring up names at the moment.  AND there are many, many campuses I have never visited.  Claiming to be THE most beautiful is a fool's errand! :o

This article says Tommies are getting a 500+ yard rusher transferring in from U of South Dakota, Jordan Roberts.  Bummer for some of us.

I got our daughter her first SJU season ticket today.  With the move in seating location, you can call me SJUSection105-2.0.  :)

There has been a lot of talk, largely loud and opinionated, about this dang cold winter we're having in Oz. Global warming? Climate change?  I, however, know the truth.  Hell has frozen over.  A Johnnie kicker has been nominated for excellence in his trade.

Kez Flomo from TGH took a scholarship to SCSU this year....I heard from a reputable high school coach that believed Kai Barber was a better running back from Pizza Grace High School.
Barber is a big fella... 5'11'' 215 lbs and a 4.80 in the 40.  Also benches 310 and squats 510...one strong mother......

Welcome to the promised land Duff. The view is amazing!  8-)

Unfortunately, we're pretty far up front, but I needed the extra ticket this season, as she's getting too big and opinionated for a lap-seat now.  I'll pay my dues and move up as seats open up.

105,

What's the skinny on the new Spilled Grain taproom in Annandale?  It's been open the past few Fridays as we've headed out to the lake, but I haven't stopped yet.  I did a double take on Friday because there was a guy sitting on the patio that I thought was you on first glance.

I saw that it had patio seating on Friday as I passed through going to Spicer. It wasn't me you saw.
I will stop in & get a growler and post an update. It's a tough job,but someone needs to do it  ;D
As of now they're on DOUBLE SECRET Probation!
