I can remmber the Winter of O5' and I was coming back from Alabama with my old man in a semi helping him with a job on X-mass eve and it took 30hrs to get home when we got caught in a Snow storm that dumped 10-12 inches of snow and ice.

Boy did that suck I didn't make home until 3:00 am on the 24th of Dec

Dam, UC is getting their A$$ kick by U Conn

We did get a lot that time. I went out at my buddy's and measured it. He had 10 inches. The sad part is, it's half melted after 1 day of sun and 40 degree temps.

Here's a good read if your interested in wrestling. It's about the 149 pound weight class in the Big Ten Tournament. It features 7 of the top 11 wrestlers in the country at the weight and the 7th seed in the Big Ten tournament is a returning NCAA Runner-Up at 141 last year (Ryan Lang...who was also a 4X Ohio State Champion at St. Ed's). The 3rd seed was an NCAA Champ as a freshman and placed 3rd last year (Dustin Schlatter...also a 4x Ohio State Champ from Massilon Perry).

Adam: If you lay your hands on it, could you put on this thread a video of Metcalf's better match or matches for us to enjoy? Sounds as if he is a genetic freak from a conditioning standpoint.

[frank uible]

Adam: Never mind. Found a number of examples of Metcalf's wrestling on youtube.

Fairfield flag leagues?  I thought Western Hills was "the spot"??

Talking about the snow...I drove straight home on friday and put my car in the garage.  I had a helluva time (rear wheel drive) getting home on Friday and so I put in a garage until yesterday afternoon.   If it snows like that next winter, I'm going to be pissed....as its undriveable for me now.

Here's a funny story. I'm taking Master's courses at Xavier and we have our midterm test on Thursday. Last week, my buddy asks the teacher to slow down because he is finally understanding what the teacher is saying and is taking notes to study. The teacher's reply: "You need to get with the program." And he keeps on at the same pace.

I almost fell on the ground laughing...I was in tears...my buddy...he had a look on his face like he was going to go all Satanic on the Priest. I can't believe he kept his cool.

MSJ wrestler @ 149 lbs takes runner up at Nationals this past weekend.

It was the highest finish for and Individual or Team for that matter to end a season on.

Those Elder boys have been machines on the Mat. Elder finished 4th in the state, Tommy Pretty and Orlando Scales were both State Champs, and Spence took 2nd at Nationals (Elder grad).

Not only is JPC a football God in Cincinnati...He's worshiped by the girls in my 8th grade class who play volleyball and go to his workout place in Mason.

He is a True Living Legend

Hey fellas (including victory, formerd3db, Adam),

Thanks for the thoughts during the process that I just had to do. 

I made it through that thing, unscathed....and the truth prevailed. 

Onward and upward...

Go Saints (2008 wishlist--PAC Champs, undefeated and playoff host)

Did you guys see they gave a guy a teaching job who had previously been accused of transgressions against kids 3 times??  After the third accusation 18 months ago, he was fired.  He sued for wrongful termination and won on Monday.  But get this...not only does he get his $75,000 a year job back, he also gets 18 months of backpay.  When asked about sticking the guy back behind a pulpit, one of these dummy officials said something to the effect....well if he's going to get paid teacher money, he might as well teach and not work in the warehouse.

Un-freaking-believable

BTW, even though I didn't see it live and in person....I still think JPC's most memorable (off the field) play, was "The Headbutt Heard 'round Madison, IN" back in 1993.

Where was this at? As dumb as I think this is, the school screwed up by terminating him ASAP. You have to give him paid leave and launch an investiagtion. You can't go around terminating people just because you're accused. I know it has been multiple times, but here's a true story involving myspace as the reason why schools and other companies (police, etc.) put you on paid leave first.

Some girls were upset at a grade they received in a class taught by a male teacher. To get back at the teacher, they launched a myspace account using a fake email address and a picture they had of him from the school website. Using the myspace account, the girls added friends and send derogatory messages to one another (made it appear the teacher was sending the messages to them). After some time, they reported the account to the principal...you can imagine the uproar around the community. They launched an investigation while the guy was on PAID LEAVE, and found out the whole thing was made up...he got his job back, but obviously, his reputation was shattered.

By the way...this wasn't me. Even though this guy is a scumbag, you have to follow precedure because now, the school is screwed because they have to keep a probable child molester.

SaintsFAN  is refuring to the CPS teacher, and think his first indicment dates all the way back to the early 80's
