[faunch]

I finally broke down and introduced myself to Coach Caruso today.  I've seen him at my daughter's swimming lessons the past couple of days and my older brother knows him from various camps and clinics.   I have to admit that he's a very personable guy...for a Tommie.
It is also obvious that the Johnnies really need to keep up the pace on their recruiting efforts and not rest on past achievements.  Caruso is very energetic, positive, and upbeat and I can see why a high school kid would want to play for him.  I told him about www.Johnniefootball.com and he said he would check it out.  

I'm already working on my penance for such blasphemous comments:
Each day until Oct. 2nd I will be saying:
4 - Glory Be to John
27 - Hail Gagliardis
471 - Our Johns (add one for each after each victory this fall until October 2nd)

Faunch,

After telling him about JFC,did he mention the $150 M +UST has received in the past 10 years from donors fueling the building boom on campus 

No the $150 Mill did not come up...maybe it's time for some of Jays to pony up some cash for more upgrades.  I can see a screen the size of the one at Target field on the Palestra soon! 
I also predict the Johnnies will have update locker facilities in 5 years. 
He did ask me if I go to a lot of the games. 
I told him he probably won't be able to check out JF.com at work because they probably have that site blocked. 
In Hogwarts style my 6 year old daughter calls UST, "The college that must not be named."

Things Got Ya Down? Wll Then, Consider These . . .

In a hospital's intensive care unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday, a few minutes before 11:00 a.m. all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

                    Still Having a Bad Day?

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

                 Still think you are having a Bad Day?

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he has been happily listening to his Walkman.

                  Are Ya OK Now? - No?

Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two helpless protesters were trampled to death.

                 What? STILL having a Bad Day?

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with 'Return to Sender' stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

Dang.  And now your lips smell like tmerton's butt.

[Touchdown Tommy]

Faunch: Did Caruso have a straight face when you told him about JohnnieFootball.com?  Because TDT has it on excellent recognizance (Caruso is no dummy he is a regular visitor to the site, what else does he have to do in the summer??) that the week of the Tommie/Johnnie game the coaches are fixated on the chatter at DustySJU's outstanding site.  In fact, it's been used as bulletin board material...

105: How is your golf game this summer?  Played anything private/exclusive/outstanding?  Heard from the newly married OneArmedScot last week, he was playing Greenhaven in Anoka...

TDT,

I am old and have an injury. Remember the scene in Caddy Shack where Carl talks about severing Judge Smales Achilles Tendon so that he won't be able to clear and will slice everything. It's not that bad, but I have been gimpy. I did play Pumpkin Ridge in Oregon in April.

Pray for my recovery as the my Match Play season is coming to an end in a month. As Don Baylor once said " I need my damn play-off money!"

[tmerton]

Hey, TDT, you been spending time at Caruso's place again?

Why would Caruso spend any time on JohnnieFootball.com during the summer?  Nothing new has been posted on it since last November; does he keep reading the story of last year's Johnnie-Tommie game? 

When is the JF.com MIAC preview going up?  I want to see the staff picks.

Speaking of OAS, I note that the Stiftungfestivities.com site has been taken down.  I miss the pics of you and Duff.

He acted like he'd never heard of it.  I'm sure he's aware of it.  I think we should start messing with him and his team on the JF.com site with some subliminal messages.  We should really build up this year's Barney squad and award them the conference title right now!

If he does indeed check post patterns I'd like to say....See you at swimming lessons tomorrow Glen!!! ;-)

Oh, he definitely reads Post Patterns.  He even posts here.  Surely you've noticed the presence of Northern WinterHawk.

Tell Glen he better watch out for these guys.
