FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[dc_has_been]

I can admit that I was completely wrong w/ my predictions on here.  I was at a house that was filled w/ people from Boston & I can say probably over half didn't make it to work today due to "headache.s"   I just tried to remind them that I am a Lions fan & things could be a lot worse.

What happened w/ Billichek at the end?  It looked like people were telling him there was sometime on the clock & he just ignored them shook hands at left the field. 

[SaintsFAN]

he's a poor sport, reality.  some are suggesting that he was in a state of shock (from not losing for a whole calendar year), though I believe it was another Belichek-ism (a gross interpretation/concern for rules)...

It looks like Joe Austin hired his OC and DC although he is labelling them differently.  I still miss Coach Perry though...which seems to go against some of the sentiments on this board

I did some research a little while back regarding the possibility of playing in the GFL. Quite a few people who played for the Marshals and the Semi-Pro team played in NFL-Italy and said it was sweet playing in Europe. The thing with those progreams is they are only allowed to have 4-5 American players on their team. I don't remember the exact number but I know it's low. The rest have to come from Europe. It seemed to me like junior high football all over again...just with grown men. The other problem was, imagine this, the websites were written in Italian and German (BIG SHOCK). Though I took German as my foreign language in HS, I still couldn't read the site.

Thanks for the years on the Bear's seasons.

i know a qb who played in europe. he loved it. said it was the most fun he ever had, even at frat parties. then he realized he was getting paid like 28k a year to throw a football and live on somebody's spare room. he decided to get a job and start planning toward his retirement. he did enjoy the football though. could have done it for a few more years.

[SaintsFAN]

my dude, Chris Wells, was an All-American LB for Thomas More...Tricksnaps, knows him from High School. 

Anyway he played in Norway in a league like you say.  Hadn't played offense (RB) since High School....he got over there...not only was he the defensive coordinator, but also played some RB, QB in addition to LB.  He said it was fun, but quickly realized also that he needed to get back to the states.

word of advice...if you are sitting there with the wife getting an ultrasound and she is hoping for a Girl.  when you see your boy's junk on the screen the first thing out of your mouth should not be "sweet 3 more and we have an Oline"  i learned this the hard way today.  good news is we are having a boy again.

Has been i need to be in LA for a meeting on the 24th -26th of Feb  get ready

Congratulations on the boy! 

I am curious.  When the sonographer identified the male anatomy, did the sonographer place the calipers over the male member, measure that it was 6.3 mm long and then ask if it took after the ol' man?

Dubuque fan here wishing Joe Austin well.  He was a big part of turning around the Dubuque program with him as OC.  He has coached in the past at Concordia and Augsburg so it looks like he has kept in contact with old colleagues.

ESPN stated that Terrell Pryor has narrowed his choices down to 2 schools: Michigan and Ohio State.

I was listening to the radio yesterday morning and a resport came on about a lady who put her baby in a microwave...the lawyer's defense strategy...SHE WAS TOO DRUNK to know what she was doing! WOW!!!

[SaintsFAN]

Sayer,

AND the lawyer is saying that OTHER PEOPLE HAD ACCESS to the baby and THUS could have saved her (meaning she's not the only one responsible even though she CALLED her boyfriend to let him know what she was doing because he was "cheating on her").  There are questions as to whether this is that boyfriend's child...

only in Dayton (right DC70?)


Did Pryor cancel his visit to Oregon for this week?  I heard UM and THE Ohio State U are  worried about him seeing the facilities there and being in an offense where the system has been in place for some time (this could rule out Michigan).  Either way, if he chooses either of those two Big 10 schools....he's going to be the starter right away.

[dc_has_been]

Last I heard Pryor is not going to sign today.  I think he is openning up his options again to Penn St. & Oregon too.
I say that Oregon's facilities are awesome.  Not bad when you have Nike handing money over to you.

ON regards to the woman who microwaved her baby, I think there should be some kind of test people have to pass in order to keep their children.  If they are unfit then take the kids away.  If they can do it to Britney Spears, why not the rest of the country?

[SaintsFAN]

Sayer,

Check your email.  I got an invite for you.

Also, email me what you decided to do...

[M and L]

A TEST for people to keep children.

There should be a Test for people to pass just to have Children!

Trust me I know because I teach these people.
