Glad to see the bridge bowl is bringing out old msj gusy out of the woodworks.  Speaking off, where is Angry White Man at.  Sayer?

Sayer, you mean TMC week didn't get you a little more edgie, a little more ampted up so to speak?  I'll have to agree with StillMSJ on this one that it is rivalry but for some other reasons

[SaintsFAN]

I'm setting my tent up tomorrow morning in Delhi on MSJ's campus and skipping work the rest of the week.  I went to Sams Club last night and got all the food I would need for my new 10 inch hibachi.  I also got two kegs, figured that would be enough of the liquid for myself. 

What time are you coming down tomorrow Sayer?

[Adam Sayer]

Tomorrow??? What in the hell are you talking about?

The TMC game was always different for me. Had MSJ never asked me to wrestle, that's where I would have played. MSJ recruited me for wrestling before they ever asked me to play football and my original plan was to wrestle and "walk-on" to play football (at the time I didn't know there was no such thing as walking on in DIII). I loved everything about TMC, but at the time, I loved wrestling more. I partied at TMC during the 2000-2001 school year more than I did at MSJ because I had a good friend playing. I have always felt a connection with TMC due to how much I hung out with their players during that 1 year. I guess it comes down to the fact that I always had respect for them, because they respected me enough to recruit me. Hallet didn't leave me alone. I felt like I was wanted there. I didn't feel like that at MSJ until I started to play.

I don't know if you remember, but the first post I posted after we won, I called out the TMC players for not playing hard. I didn't brag, run my mouth, etc. I felt they didn't give Mike Hallet 100%, like they played with no heart. It angered me...almost the same way as if they were my own teammates and didn't lay it all on the line.

I know I'm unique, but my big rival, the game I got up for every year, was Hanover. I treated that game like the guy across from me beat up my mom. Every Hanover game, my mentality was to beat the sh!t out of the guy across from me. It was a dog fight. TMC...just another chance to get a W.

Winning my senior year to finish 10-0 was special, but it was special to me in a different way than it was to others. I was a starter on the 0-10 team and finished off 10-0. Looking back at the dedication it took for us to go from 0-10 and 10-0 as a TEAM, was amazing. You always have individuals come together, but rarely does a whole team come together like we did. It was special to play with guys like Tepee, Neil, Schneider, Brooks, BL, Holzie, among others who were a part of that 0-10 team and made the commitment to stick around and exel and go 10-0. I know others came along the way to help, but we were THAT class.

After reading, one thing you need to realize, is I was never relaxed. I wanted to win every game more than most people can fathom. To me, losing is the worst pain one can feel. That feeling that someone is better sucks. I hate it more than I hate brussel spouts. Though TMC wasn't MY rival, I still approached the game with this mentality.

Meaning lets turn the MSJ campus into the equivalent of Coach K-ville. . .


You also had a cool as hell guide that day you visited.  I guarantee you that if you had stayed with me that Friday night before the game, you'd be a Thomas More grad.  Thats a guarantee as I remember, STILL, the night before that Carnegie Melon game. 


who knows, maybe you'd be in your dream job now....if you had attended TMC.

DC70,

With Defiance taking a chit the last two weeks, what are the chances of you coming to experience your first Bridge Bowl and see what it would have been like to play for a great team??

Let me know...you obviously know how to get there...only this time Sayer and I will be taking shots (physically) at eachother. 

I know what you are going to say, Adam but save it.  I'm skilled in the MMA. .

[Adam Sayer]

You're an expert in Making Monkeys Ashamed??? Sounds like a personal problem that you need to get under control. I'm, simply put, a Bad A$$.

"Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode."

That's how I roll!

And as always, I PTR like Ron Jeremy.

[SaintsFAN]

PTR huh? 
ok, ok....lets take a vote on what people think "PTR" stands for. . . .


Punt The Rock

Punch the retard

Perhaps there's reluctance

practice the religion


Push to read (the MSJ books are all on tape, so the guys don't have to read them)

Pin the tail (on the donkey)

Penetrate the wrectum

Pass the reefer

does anyone have anything to add?  Voting ends at 8am tomorrow.  MSJ needs to know why they say PTR!

Preconditioned To Rant...

[dc_has_been]

Regional rankings are out & Franklin is at 5 & MSJ at 6.  Still looking pretty good for MSJ to get a pool C bid, but you never know what can happen.  Concordia & the MIAA aq will get the 7th & 8th seed.  Still worried that they will bump MSJ for Capital or even Witt. 

produce thoughtless reasoning

i like Punching The Retard.

would love to join you donkey-punch festival bridge bowl game, but Mom is having a Masectomy on Friday Afternoon so i got some family things to do.

[nittanybacker]

I have to work till noon on saturday so I will probably have to park at Krogers on Delhi.

I want to say that TMC will win but I haven't seen either team play.  I do believe that if the teams are equal then I would give TMC the edge based on coaching and the competition that they have played.  If TMC blows out MSJ, which probably won't happen, I can see the a lot of recruits going to TMC.  

Since I was once a MSJ player and graduate I can't believe I am saying this but I will be rooting for TMC with my official TMC football hat on.  

Well I guess all I can say now is GO SAINTS.

[fc_alum_84]

Nice article in "Around the Region" about FC in case the MSJ and TM folks get bored talking about the Ridge Bowel.

[dc_has_been]

70dcalum-all the best to your mom & the family. 

I can't see how TMC could win this one (sorry SaintsFan)!  TMC has only 1 win against a team w/ a winning record & they are currently 5-4.  Plus they are playing at MSJ. 

[SaintsFAN]

has_been,

Its cool....scroll back to last year's board at this time (a TMC win)...and then two years before that (MSJ's first win in the series).  My point is...you never know. 

fc84,

read it...not interesting....Hanover is terrible.  Franklin should wipe them.  There's an interesting rumor floating around some of the HC guys I know.  I'll share it after the season...if it doesn't come up first. 

nittanybacker,

nice.  too bad our TMC hats (made available to public) really suck.   I hope it doesn't cost us in the recruiting game.  Also, I think you're going to see alot of Cincy kids at TMC in the future....regardless of the outcome on Saturday. 

dc70,

sorry to hear about that.  good luck to your mother. 

For the record, I think punch the retard is the funniest one.   I had some of the people that work for me thinking those up yesterday afternoon.....it was a hilarious exercise.
