LLAMAGUY, SKOAL, HUG and other Stone Stationers...

      Just talked to one of your biggest fans and honorary members - Chad Seals.  He's coming into town on Saturday for his high school, William Campbell, which plays in the state championship game at 12:30 p.m. at JMU.  Anyhow, he wanted to see if you guys wanted to open The Station over at JMU as he will be in around 11 a.m. He says he'll provide whatever you need as he would love to see you guys. He says his team is very good and they have Charles Haley's nephew playing for them.  Let me know what you think...

Eaglemicman:  Yeah, I knew they had made State.  I didn't know he went there though.  Should be a good game and every year William Campbell puts up some good wins.  Tell Chad I won't be able to make it.  I can't speak for Llamaguy or HUG.  I would have been fun though.....

Has,

You pacifist Quakers take the fun out of everything!  :-)

Ye olde ouch!  Thou assaulteth my soul, Brother Rugby Guy.  May the Lord protect thee and not smiteth the sacred karma thou holdeth so dear.  'Tis the Holiest of Seasons, so I shall muster my strength to refrain in His Holy Name from further polemic discourse until the Feast of the Nativity is past.  The Lord knoweth my worldly frailties, however, and my human inability to steadfastly labor without verbal retort throughout the fortnight of Christmas and I pray for His Sustenance and Wisdom.

(Translation: - That hurts!  Watch that karma drop like a rock every 12 hours like clockwork, bro!  I'll break bad in another day or two - give me time.  Santa's not gonna drop anything down my chimney anyway, so what the heck!  I'll never make it 'til New Year, so just be patient.  Quaker, Smaker ... I want to verbally smack somebody!  lol)

Funny.

Thank you, thank you very much!  Hasanova has left the post (and beam 8) ) building.  lol

'Nova,

You'd better hope that God has a sense of humor or ye shall be in the same trouble as I shalt be.

If you don't think God has a sense of humor, just look at the platypus.

He does, but that doesn't mean I'm not in trouble!  One of the biggest laughs I ever got was in traffic court - from the judge, no less - but he said I was still guilty.  You had to be there.  lol

Rugby Guy, have you been reading USASAC men's basketball #438?  lol  I agree, platypuses and whatever the heck they just found on Borneo!

I am a Lamar Neal fan even though I finished with an 85 in one of his classes and got a C even though I was #5 out of 50 among the students.
 I was in his classroom the day after the 1994 Contract with America elections and my friends gave him some grief.

I, too, am a Lamar fan...took numerous classes with him but fortunately never really got the sharp end of his sometimes capricious grading practices.  I asked above as while I was at BC he wore this terrible toupe, which I once got to see lifted off his head by a student at the late, lamented Elbow Room.   He started to not use the rug in my senior year, and sometime after I left he dumped the rug completely, but I am not clear when that was...

Well I've been here since 1983 and I never saw it.  Lamar was always sans toupé during my time at BC.  Lots of fun, I`ll have to agree there, especially at the ODAC baseball tournaments!!

Thought I had better take my post out of the middle of what I was quoting.  It makes more sense or does it.  These last few posts have been hilarious.  So who is teaching the Biblical English class?  I need to sign up!!

Olinemom - I watched a rerun of Jim Valvano's 1993 ESPY speech between the two Jimmy V Foundation basketball games last night.  Basically, he said we wouldn't win a basketball (or football) game every day, but we could laugh every day!  With that in mind, we decided to expand the horizons of the site - football is a religous experience, isn't it?  I've been to games at Clemson, Tennessee and Ohio State, and they sure think it is!

The only thing those big schools have over D3 football is more drunks.

hey pak!!

go to the oac board:  the video of Bwater's semifinal win with the local clock operator is posted for all to see.

just imagine if it was your team on "D" that day.  Think ya still would be pissed.

NOW, ALL CAN SEE THE TRUTH!!        Oh yeah!!  GO PROFS!!

Now back it up about 3 minutes so all can see Devon Cruz scoring that touchdown that they didn't give us.  You really ought to be worrying about this Saturday's game, but I guess playing "what if" is more fun for you.  Gee, I wonder why.  Could it be that MUC is going to clean your clock?

     I love that speech by Jimmy V.  God took a great away WAY TOO SOON. Do you remember the delight on his face when that imporrible, improbable shot fell in and they won the big dance?  It was pure magic!!!

     I just lost a long post about my love for footbal and baseball.  It is just not my day!  I set the clock this morning for 6am to make some brownies for the Eagle club tonight and only woke up at 8:35 am, barely making it to my 9:00 class.  Needless to say the brownies didn't get made.Oh well . . . But to sum it all up. I LOVE FOOTBALL!!  but I think you have already noticed that.  One doesn't make 14 pans of brownies every Sunday for Film day on Monday  after traveling wherever the game has been that weekend and not love hte game and the players!. 
     
     And I love baseball, college baseball at any rate.  I have made a bunch of trips to Georgia and California with my baseball team.  Last year we went to Fullerton to see them play, but it rained and we got to see Oklahoma or somebody else.  It wasn't such a good game.  I supported UVa in the spring--they had a great spring!! You know, one of their players, Ryan Zimmerman, was on their team in the spring and by September was in a Washington Nationals uniform.  And the Nats just traded away Castillo (or whatever his name was)so they made room to keep Ryan(he is a really nice guy!!)   I took them brownies too.  When I went to the ACC baseball tournament in Jacksonville, I took about 300 brownies to UVa, about the same amount to Florida State (Ilove Coach Martin and the guys!) and the same to Miami because we were to have 3 Miami players on our summer league team.  I was pretty popular that week.  It's always fun to cheer for good players and teams.  And the ACC has some great players.  I went down to Durham. NC or as I call it, JJ Land, (yeah, I'm guilty of being a Duke basketball fan!!  After all he's from Cave Springs in Va.  Same school as Tom Hagen who plays baseball at UVa--he's my favorite player at UVa. ) TEAM USA is stationed there and I had a fabulous time.  --Me and my brownies, we were again a hit.  I met all the players, some I knew already as they were from UVa, FSU and Miami.  But you name the great college player and he was there.  It was some great baseball!  They had autograph night both weekends and I got myself a shirt autographed and then I got a ball autographed for a friend of mine's son (he went to Hampden-Sydney so you know he had to be a real good friend) who absolutely lives and breathes baseball.  If you could have seen his face when I gave him that ball, it was priceless!!  A lot of fun too.  What is life if you can't make people happy? 

    I've promised to go to Tennessee this spring.  The UT catcher JJ Arecibia  and the guys from Miami (Chris Perez, John Jay, Andrew Lane, Eddie Roriguez) are all going to be playing there.  I can't wait  As to who to root for,  I usually have to root for whoever is batting , unless Chris(going in the first 5 rounds next June unless I miss my guess!) or Andrew is pitching. 

     I'm sure this is more than you wanted to read about my  loving sports.  But you know, maybe I can get Llamaguy to let us have Communion at the Stagg Bowl in honor of the team who will play against the  MUC / Rowan finalist.  Now that's a religious experience I can guarantee you would like!!

     Much as I hate to say it, it's back to the papers . . . please come to the Stagg Bowl.  It's great football and even better company.  Everybody I've met there has been really nice!!

Ah livin' in the past! Lets see if we can get video of the 4th and goal where Cruz clearly scored about 3 minutes before the clock stopped. Poetic justice I must say.

Oh well. It will take much more than a stopped clock for you to climb the Mount this week.

After further reading I see me & the Olinemom are on the same page. Guess Rowan will go to the grave crying about how they got jobbed and didn't get the chance to get spanked by The Mount in the Stagg in 2001!

Yep, and this is going to keep up until BC and Rowan play again and/or one or the other of the teams wins the Stagg Bowl.

But this kind of language is nothing...for more pungent languge go to the "Thoughts on the quarterfinals" thread on the front of the web page, and scroll down to the 12.6.2005 post by D3Keith, where he says (in part) that  "Bottom line, the clock operator at Bridgewater cheated" and "But I wouldn't drop it either if I was from Rowan. They got whored."

In the post D3keith indicates he is from South jersey and played in the ODAC.  If someone not directly associated with either school is going to state things this strongly, then one can only imagine the level of vitriol that exists in some folks about this game...and I think we get to keep having this conversation over and over again.
