Good luck Josh! Go Tigers!

Good News to cheer me up  during this patch of dreary weather.

To my nemesis, be fair.  I haven't posted since April 5 (and that was nothing to get upset about), but you've gone in daily for the last week to 10 days and dinged me.  Did I do something to tick you off?  I "get" karma and smiting, but I don't understand smiting when you don't post anything. 

There once was a poster who's read
With humor and insight and dread.
He said "Was I clever
Or will I forever
Get hit with a smite when I'm dead!?"

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks for the heads-up. Turns out this particular poster hasn't posted in weeks either but logged on this afternoon solely to smite 18 people and applaud one.

[hasanova]

You're welcome.  Sounds like a wide-spread case of smiticide.

[abnrgr]

Yes Hasanova. You are the most disagreeable person I know.  Smiticide!! I like that one. I will use it

[HSCTiger74]

Hasa, I agree with abnrgr, so +k for smiticide.

[Will2Win]

Anyone have any word on how things are shaping up for BC's wideout Tyler Bieler?? I heard he's been working out for some NFL scouts and is/was to workout at a draft combine of some sort in Detroit I believe...Any of you guys heard anything as of late?

[hasanova]

abnrgr and HSCTiger74 - thank you both.  It was a toss-up between smiticide or karmaphobia. 

[narch]

abnrgr and HSCTiger74 - thank you both.  It was a toss-up between smiticide or karmaphobia. 

ooohhhh...tough choice, but i think you went the right way

[abnrgr]

When Narch comes skulking about something is up.

When Narch comes skulking about something is up.  

Ah, the Ides of "Narch".  Et tu, Brute?  Narch, did you stab a Caesar salad at lunch today?

Stepping up with sportsmanship

SALEM, Va. -- It was anything but a regular Friday morning for Tom Huffman, a volunteer assistant softball coach for Bridgewater (Va.) College. Huffman was with the Eagles softball team for the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Tournament last week when he noticed something was amiss in front of the team hotel.

"I just walked outside from the hotel front lobby and there were two buses parked in the parking lot," Huffman said. "The back of one bus was on fire with the bus driver sitting in his seat doing his paperwork. I went and told him the bus was on fire. He grabbed the fire extinguisher and tried to put it out, but it was too big for that."

Luckily for Guilford College, Huffman is a former volunteer fire fighter. Hotel staff was immediately instructed to call the local fire department while Huffman and the driver for the Guliford softball team removed the team equipment from the burning bus.

"We [saw] some equipment in the storage bins in the bottom of the bus," Huffman said. "We started throwing equipment out in the driveway. It wasn't difficult and there wasn't any heat or smoke in that area."

With the bus out of commission, Guilford had problem: how would it get to the field for its consolation game?

No fear. Sportsmanship came into play as Bridgewater coach Donnie Fulk offered the Guilford squad a ride -- alongside his team -- to the Moyer Complex in order to get the 11 a.m. contest.

And the Quakers' opponent? The same Bridgewater team they rode with to the ballpark.

Once at the field, Bridgewater got back into game mode and won the contest 4-2, knocking the Quakers out of the tournament. Guilford had a replacement bus waiting for the ride home while Bridgewater won its afternoon contest before being sent home with a consolation loss that night.

Great Story.  Another fine example of the lessons taught in the ODAC and all around Division III sports.

Thought I might put this up for the Wasps fans out there that want to check out a cool little wasps version of the trick shot video. This was a video done by Drew Piscopo for a class. In this video is rising sophomore QB Kyle Boden.
