It would be great to get some Knox posters on here so we could have some triple option talk going

Triple option??? OMG! Then again, it probably doesn't look that out of place with those leather helmets and all. Would somebody please notify them that it's 2010.

I watch a portion of Trinity Tx vs. Tyler Lee Texas on ESPN last night. Huge crowd, two-thirds of the players with D1 scholarships.
As I kid I played football with two tin cans marking the goal posts and you had to kick the ball at least three branches high in a tree for the extra point to count. A bush on one end and clothes line pole on the other marked the goal lines.

By post #200, and I'm confident you will be there soon, I hope the discussion is firmly in the IC/MWC/DIII genre and we can forget about the Texas Board of Tourism jibber-jabber. It

was

charming

at

first....but

starting

to

get

a

tad

disturbing.

Pat,

If you are making the trip over to De Pere, plan a dinner stop at Victoria's in Appleton and check out Lawrence's football stadium, the Banta Bowl. I haven't been there in a few years and the last time I was there it was showing its age, but it is an awesome and unique venue.

It replaced Loras' Rock Bowl as my favorite D3 football venue after my first trip there.

There is a high school game at the Banta Bowl Friday night, so it would be an opportunity!

scottie, Love your sarcasm......but way too much work.

My son's team knocked Tyler Lee out of the playoffs last year. East Texas football is a whole other brand of football. They're serious! They're passionate. We suffer here because we're one of four Klein ISD schools. Meaning that there's not the same sense of ownership that you get with schools that are "the" school for the town. That's the most fun to watch.

A couple more little anecdotes... Our marching band is over 400. It has it's own custom painted 18 wheel trailer to transport its gear. It's an impressive show, but to me, halftime is just a 30 minute interuption to a football game. Cost for tickets $7.

Don't even get me started on a UT game. Now that's something!

I guess everyone has different versions of "working"...

Redmen09 · September 02, 2010, 07:23:11 PM

A record of 34-11 (with a 5-4 record the first year in 2005 $:-\$ ) running it works for me atleast

SNCOLDAD · September 02, 2010, 07:33:45 PM

That is pretty impressive.

This was taken from the SNC Press release for this weekends game.

St. Norbert coach Jim Purtill is 100-17 entering his
12th season in De Pere.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

But no triple option please.

Redmen09 · September 02, 2010, 07:46:39 PM

That would be a strong case for, 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'

Thanks, DAD. That one probably goes into Scottie's all-time Top 10.

SNCOLDAD · September 02, 2010, 10:45:28 PM

I think I was much safer when people though SNCOLDAD stood for SNC Old Athletic Director!

GO GREEN KNIGHTS
