I am so glad that none of the UT Pan American biggest rivals are on this board.

I believe Exmoor Country Club hosts some tournaments each year. About a dozen years ago I watched a Championship tournament. Very fun. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Linky to NY Retreats I love to go backpacking. I love to be 5 miles from a road. No electronics, just nature and me. One of my favorite spots in Big Bend. About a 2 hour hike with packs. Deer everywhere. Amazing views.

We did in 1961. Grobstein has a Pettit audio clip of the final 20 seconds vs. the Red Wings and an interview with Bobby Hull on his web site. Amazing how gentile the locker room was.

This may crush the Illini fans on the board

Jim, I don't like seeing it as a paperweight on Rumsfeld's desk. In a museum or some other public memorial, yes. I don't see you or I dropping by Rummy's office. For thousands of people, that is their grave. We never found most of the victims. To me every bit of the building, planes, etc. is sacred. A lot of my attitude comes from a conversation I had one night with a veteran of WW2. I was participating in a "live aboard" program on the USS Lexington. He mentioned all the young men who had died on that ship and whose remains were either never found or buried at sea. Just like you wouldn't want someone spitting gum on your grave, the same holds for areas like this. It's a matter of respect. Maybe I'm old school on this.

List of all those who have died.

Well we know who paid the league fee this year. If you buy the uniforms you can bat lead off Is that a 16" beer league? On advice of my Doc, I'm sidelined this year.

For are Illini fans It may be all they win. But, nice season.

Now if you included the Broncs of UT Pan American I'll post one for yah to make you feel better.

I saw a small child hit at a Road Runners game last year. Mom and baby were sitting in the 15 row about 30 feet past the 3rd base line. Dad was visiting the Skybox I was in for a couple minutes to say hello. Mom tried to dodge but didn't understand the aerodynamics of a baseball and it continued to slice foul (lefty batting) and she ducked into the ball. It clipped the mom's shoulder and nailed her baby. Scary, scary moment. People should always be alert at games. Even if you are seated away from the field, you could get trampled by people running for a foul ball. I think we all know the "red zone" for hard hit foul balls. I would question her judgement * If * she was sitting in that area with a small baby. So far we really do not know where she was seated.

At best, I'm seeing an above average pen. I am very disappointed in Koch so far. Over all thought it is better than most. For many fans, the set up is an overlooked facet of play.

Go Dirtbags

I lost interest in Chopper after about the 6 th show. It just became too predictable.

Ok it's not THE Julia Roerts but this woman is 96 years old

Monty Python rocks

The best cheap shot was Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, Robin Zander, and Bun E. Carlos Oops, I'm sorry that's Cheap Trick

The biggest fight I ever saw was about 10 years ago. Minny versus the Hawks at the old stadium. In the pre-game skate around Van Dorp decks a guy at the blue line and a ten minute brawl started. The linemen had not even hit the ice yet so the players were left to go at it. I remember Keenan just standing there watching. I think the first official fight was 30 seconds into the 1st. I left the stadium around midnight.

Damn straight. Clemens and Pettit are the guys I believe you are talking about I always figured we should of hid PA in the basement like a crazy aunt. Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you on his own. If he ain't, no need to embarrass him

I am trying to figure out if we sold our future to the devil in 1961 to win a Stanley Cup. All I know is Pully is the 2nd biggest putz in the world followed by Dollar Bill Worst. I pray that mama Sutter didn't have another kid, or we will never get rid of the f***ing family. Those three shouldn't be running an ice cream truck let alone a pro franchise . . . And Print It!

I just now noticed the title PA ahem, cough, cough, poser, ahemm cough
