Interested in those 5 reasons. I have had 2 nineteen year old graduates on my sports teams. I have a current sophomore who will be 19 when he graduates. Doesn't happen often. Granted, I don't coach collision sports. But 5 reasons?
Zito's. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time....a long time.
Seriously, I had a sandwich from there about 35 years ago. I thought it was fantastic. But I never took the joint seriously because it was right across the street from my Catholic School and church. Nothing good could really be around there...right?
As a coach, I've probably spent more time second guessing and stressing over tiny moments in a loss for youth and high school soccer and water polo then I have for anything as a "fan". Wish I could do better with that.
But I will always remember being crushed walking out of the Frank Erwin Center in 1981 when San Antonio John Marshall had just lost the State Basketball Championship to the Port Arthur Lincoln Bumblebees. I was 11.
Comments about Mary Jane rotten crotch and your mom were to be expected. In hindsight, the political stuff was just much more telling, especially coming from 20 and 21 year old's.
I get it, but this "military as Republican thing" is just odd to me.
I was visiting my parents tonight. My mom was disgusted with Republicans as she has been lately, and I asked "You used to vote Republican right? My first election memories were Carter/Ford but mom claims they have always voted Democratic. I was surprised because I assumed their military background (Dad was actually Army Air Corp in 46) would steer them a certain way. It was actually really refreshing to know that wasn't the case. I think so many of these military men and women don't think for themselves.
When I was at Annapolis in 88, one of the things I remember the most was how much this California kid in my company got abused for saying he supported Dukakis. Upper classman made him walk around with a Peace Sign taped to his uniform, and it was supposed to be funny. It always struck me as odd, but as an 18 year old in that environment, I didn't realize how fucked up it was.
Just play this at every game. It will make some people happy, some people crack up, and some think..."wait, something wasn't right there" but they would still be happy.
This was my come back around game. Put the TV outside and grilled some burgers. Neighbor asked if I was watching THE GAME, and walked over for responsibly distanced beers. Best part was my 7 year old asking to stay outside to watch until the end before bath and bed.
You could have bought all shit you need at Wal-Mart
( Kids got a switch for Christmas and I bought way to many accessories at Wal-Mart. They did enjoy the little wheel control add on)
Yeah. Tough loss. But it was fun to be excited about a Bowl Game for the past few weeks, and as empty as the Alamodome was this year, it was actually fun to be at games, unlike the Frank Wilson years.
Traylor and staff are doing a good job.
