Class of '66 Old Fart

How many previous year's teams would have folded the tent long ago?   Lost our QB and star RB and we're still only down 7.  No matter what happens the rest of the game, this team has shown real heart.

Are there indications that a couple of the commits might be wavering a bit and thus the door is slightly ajar for us to make another run at them?

2018 is an eternity away and I'd be leery of keeping his commitment that long.  And as a coach (which I'm not and never have been) do I want a commitment this early and have to take a scholly off my availability list?  Just thinkin' out loud.

  PICTURE; we've got to have a picture!

  Dearly beloved you may now kiss the bride, amen.

  Now that's one helluva first post!  Welcome Tricko.

I think CTC and my 9-year old granddaughter have a lot in common.  If she has a dollar in her pocket, it must be spent immediately and available schollys seem to have the same effect on our coach.  I don't know that Gelon is necessarily a bad recruit but the fact he was the first commit and off the radar that really caught us off guard.  Getting a commit from CuJo helps, but we still have a lot of holes to fill on next season's roster.

Don't think we'll take another jump upward this weekend.  I just don't think we've got the horses to stop the likes of O$U, but I would like nothing better than to eat these words Saturday evening.

Certainly a far cry from yesterday's Bears game  --  10 possessions and 10 punts!

So if they stop teaching cursive writing in the schools, who's going to be able to read it?  :)

  Now that is BOLD!

4 - 0 and your mind automatically thinks basketball.  Who da thunk it!  If I read correctly, not since 1990 have we started 4 - 0.

Collectively, we should all feel ashamed, humiliated and humbled.  I just got home and checked the score and saw PUke got beat by BGU.  Couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a peek at the Hammer and Rails game day thread.  Ladies and gentlemen they had 740 posts and we only had a couple of dozen over 300.  However, if you remove their posts that contain outright profanity against their team, school and head coach, their posts probably number less than 100.  I want to extend a big THANK YOU to the mods on Btownbanners who will not tolerate that kind of stuff and allow it to get posted to our threads.   Undefeated!  Boy does that have a nice ring to it.

I never thought JBJ was more than a 2-year player and I think he leaves either for the NBA or for an overseas team unless he should sustain a significant injury or just lay an absolute egg on the court.

Uh, I think he demonstrated last year he had a pretty high tolerance for pain.

Rabojohns reporting we offered today.

Bummer!  :(

Osterman just tweeted that going back to last year's Oaken Bucket game, we've now won 4 in a row for the first time since 1993!!

Same old same old!  :angry:

Show of hands please; how many people at halftime would now like to change their prediction? 

Amazing how our general mood can do a 180 with this kind of news and think what it will do if we land another major recruit.  I know I"m going to start sleeping a little better knowing we picked up CuJo.

Buy that boy some elevator cleats!

  Your list is getting smaller by the day!  :(
