faunch, of course we want the kids to have fun and that starts with nobody getting hurt. We cover that with the kids all the time.

If it such a big deal that some dad who has never been around before starts yelling through the fence at our players then I wonder why it was never mentioned in the parent meeting or the coaches meeting before the season began?

And why aren't the other coaches doing it either?

I've got no issue going with that procedure, I just wish the guy would've approached one of us coaches first.

J-esq, not really. Another friend of mine canned because 5 football players got busted for drugs.

Our image conscious Chancellor strikes again. 

My apologies, BDB.  I agree that the whole situation has been handled badly from the get-go, and I think the chancellor has been more concerned with adding a phrase involving "Polytechnic University" to the school name instead of just running a University.  Sorry about misinterpreting your take on the situation, though.

Got a level II going today after a tour of the Gluek brewery last night and a rather extended stay in the tap room. They're making some sweeet brews out there these days.
BDB-I feel your pain. Looking forward to my 1st basball-free summer after a 15 year run of coaching. The fish are getting vewy vewy newvous. I'd suggest you tell Mr. Bigmouth to shut up and leave the coaching to the guys on the field. Not that it couldn't happen, but I've yet to see someone hit in the on deck circle. If you're on deck, you've got a helmet on and you should be watching the hitter ahead of you. Stand by your own dugout. Simple.

It does sometimes make me wonder how any of us survived to adulthood when we grew up:

standing in the deck circle by our dugout
riding bikes without helmets
playing on playgrounds with concrete/asphalt
riding in cars without carseats/seatbelts not to mention the back of pickups!

I guess natural selection played a bigger role in the good old days!

[BDB]

Hey bennie. How do you like my Mighty Ducks now?    

[finsleft]

Hey Bob, what day is it today?

Hey Bob, what day is it today?

Thanks fins. I needed that.  8)

Hey bennie. How do you like my Mighty Ducks now?    

Didn't you get the memo? They're not Mighty anymore! Now my Red Wings just need to remind them of that!

[Touchdown Tommy]

Bob it sounds like you had a stressful evening at the ballpark.  Please do me a favor.  Go home tonite, have a double Goose with a splash of Cranberry...If this azz clown continues, Touchdown Tommy can contract his services to eliminate the problem PRONTO!!!

Also, I'd like to suggest that starting each Monday during the season that you write a "State of the WIAC" column/recap and post it here on the MIAC board (use whatever format/style you want).  I would like to keep up with the Wisconsin teams and don't make it over to their board much unless my fellow rabble rousers are over there discussing the finer points of the latest US News and World Report Rankings or various other matters.

Thanks much,

The President

Johnnie golfers have a 17 stroke lead with 10 holes to play! Clint Damman has a 4 shot lead for the individual crown!

Go Johnnies

[Touchdown Tommy]

Um Sum...no need to jinx them.  We all know that the tournament starts on the Back Nine on Sunday (in this case Friday) just like The Masters...

KR: Who ya got this weekend, Brew Crew or Twinks??

Natural selection and playing without adult supervision is the secret - of course I only have a few years left to reach adulthood - I got adult supervision again when I got married. Still hasn't worked.

My neighbor found out her dog could hardly hear so she took it to the veterinarian. He found that the problem was hair in its ears. He cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine.  The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that if she wanted to keep this from reoccurring she should go to the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month. The lady goes to the drug store and gets some "Nair" hair remover. At the register the druggist tells her, "If you're going to use this under your arms don't use deodorant for a few days." The lady says: "I'm not using it under my arms." The druggist says: "If you're using it on your legs don't shave for a couple of days." The lady says: "I'm not using it on my legs either; if you must know, I'm using it on my schnauzer." The druggist says: "Stay off your bicycle for a week."
