KYGrizzly:

Yes, congratulations on your son's debut in PB.  That is great and I wish him all the best.  You and your wife can certainly be very proud parents and I hope you both will be able to attend some of his other games.  Keep us posted.

Best,
formerd3db

A little update on my son. He is now 3 - 0 after four starts getting the win last night. It helps a lot when the teams puts up nine runs in the bottom of the first inning. Game recap below:

SaintsFan, happy belated 31st B-day. What it would be like to be 31 again.

I guess football season is right around the corner. Do the teams report about August 16th this year?Any word on how recruiting went for this coming season at any of the schools?

"but don't let that chase you &uckers away....

Where is everyone?

We celebrated my 31st on Friday night at Jefferson Hall in Newport on the Levee.  Wow....there were pictures taken, unfortunately.

Never let chicks take your picture after they've force-fed you shots for the previous 4 hours."

It's the intimidation factor, Kevin, of being in the presence of a 2000 point man.  

Congrats on another year of survival - may you enjoy many more; the definition of "many" is yours to consider.  It's beyond my comprehension as one, a quarter century beyond - just hope hairs atop my head continue to match the years.

Franklin College is ranked No. 25 in the USA Today Sports Weekly magazine pre-season Division III football poll for 2008.

Here is also a link on the death John Pont who started the football program at Mount St. Joseph in 1990: www.heartlandconf.org/conference_releases/2008/7_1_pont_msj.htm

Grizzly,

That is good news for Franklin to receive some pre-season recognition, and it is well-deserved.  Your opener against Baldwin-Wallace should be a good one, as they are typically a solid upper-tier team from the OAC.  Glad you have that one at home.

I clicked on the other links as well, and was surprised to see that Transylvania is part of the HCAC.  So, curious as to why Transy doesn't field a football team, I did a little digging, and found that Transy did indeed field a team in the 1800's all the way up through 1941 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  Here is a link to the story, for any who are interested...

So, HCAC fanatics, if John Pont can bring football to a former all-girls school, what's it going to take to get Transylvania back into the game?

in regards to Coach Pont it is interesting the differences between Dayton and Cincy...it is pretty clear Miami University is not thought of highly around Cincy with UC, Xavier, MSJ, and TMC.  i get the Cincy TV Channels but read the Dayton paper.  All Cincy news would talk about is his work at MSJ and he passed through some other places (after a 30sec inteview with Huber i know get why you call him Rockin Rod - tell him to freaking breath when he talks).  the article in the Dayton Paper was all about his work at Miami.

just thought was interesting view living between the 2 towns...and i am bored sitting on a confernece call at 6:30 at night

70,

MU's A$$HOLE alumni (snobiest group I've come across in my 31 years) IMO, create this distaste for all things Miami here in Cincinnati. 

Now note:  I live in Hyde Park a suburb of young people and probably 3 out of 10 are grads of Miami, it seems....so its entirely possible that I'm just being an arse bc I run into them alot. 

Isn't Hubie great?  I got to talking with him one time at softball (he had an hour before his next game) and the guy really engaged me.  I think its very impressive the zeal for life he has....especially after all the bull$hit he's been through.   I dont care if thats someone from MSJ....I am a fan of Rod Huber.  Just like I am of Jim Hilvert....its no wonder to me that MSJ rose under these two guys. 

[SaintsFAN]

wabashcpa,

I have to admit something.....I totally thought you lost all sense of reason when I saw your post....simply because my mind was seeing the "S" in Transy...at the end of the word.  wow....  I need some sleep. 

With Transy NEVER spoken of in here, I think I'm going to use THAT as an excuse.


BTW...to all

re: Update on Sayer's punk-arse in Cali...

I got a message from him saying...dude Pacific Beach (near San Diego) is like nothing else ....I guess he really got to party over the 4th out there. 

I also told him that we need to get him out of teaching so he can do more $hit like that..

haha...that it is, my friend, that it is...  FYI, my party continued into the July 4th weekend..

Thursday and Saturday nights were "ghost rider nights of blackness"...

Great UFC though in Vegas last Saturday...anyone see?

[70_dc_alum]

We get Sayer out of teaching and he can get paid to do activities like that. 

speaking of which i just booked my flights to vegas for the 11-16th of October for work at the Mandalay Bay.  Has Been i get out there early on Saturday you up for a road trip? I dont have anythign planned until likely some Golf on Sunday morning.  you could head out Sat morning and have no expenses since i have a rediculous expense account while i am out there and a room to crash in...you might have to show me some naked pictures of your wife but we are talking Mandalay Bay it is not like i would be putting you up in Circus Circus!!

My Predictions
1. at least 3 Sundays we will login at some incoherent drunken ramblings at 3am from the night before courtesy of Adam Sayer.

2. one of these ramblings will speak of Saintsfan and some girl of loose morals from the night before.

3. closer to election time DC_Has_Been will start spewing his hippie liberal west coast crap.

4. weekly i will need to get a dictionary to figure out what in the hell Cave2Bens and JacketsFan are talking about.

5. Soon we will have a conversation about Fish Tacos (not counting prediction #2)  mmmmmmmm fish tacos "ahhhrgghh" in Homer Simpson voice.

6. JacketsFan will not knnow what to place the blame on w/o the Vetter chuck n' pray methodology of playing QB.

7. dont see a shift in power this year...Franklin and MSJ will be the elite in the conference, Andy, Bluffton, Manchester, RHIT will continue to be bad (RHIT best of them) Defiance will either compete with the elite or be a turd i dont see them being middle ground just depends on who steps up.

8. only the automatic bid makes the playoffs

9. OSU beats USC to piss off the nation (Has_Been trying to convince the wife to let me come to the game) and makes it back to the BCS championships

10. Bengals end up better than most people expect

haha...70. 

So I'm hurting today.  At 31, I don't recover like I used to..

We played and drank for three softball games last night...finally leaving the park at 1am.  We arrived at 5:30pm to start the festivities.  We did go 2-1....scoring 30 runs in the first two games....but lost the 3rd one to a team of turds because 1/2 the team was fall down drunk by the time the last game started at 11:40.  There was also the most redneck action you can witness in this last game...a fight between our two teams.  The other team was talking chit after TAKING WALKS the whole game......finally most of us snapped....between trying to hit their pitcher and yelling from the OF for their hitters to "take off their skirts"....the other team had a player get mad and slide into our 2nd baseman.  The riot ensued....and I was the first one to reach the infield from the OF.  Today, I'm sore....not sure if its from the 3 games or the elbows and haymakers that I landed while being punched. 

Funny thing is that one of the girls I'm dating was there to witness it all.  I know that I'm going to continue to date her because she ended up talking smack to one of the other teams female fans. 

[Pat Coleman]

That's a keeper, for sure!

[SaintsFAN]

haha....for NOW, at least Mr. Coleman
