I'm okay with his size; the glasses concern me, though.

...6C row 36. Incidentally, don't look for Navy to return any tickets. Navy - OSU, Navy - ND (I have four for sale), and Navy - Army were sold out immediately to contributors/season ticket holders and were never open to general sales.

...and one other thing... Franklin's (an Ohio boy) best remark was prior to the 1973 game when asked in an interview why the Michigan backfield (Franklin, Heater, Lytle, Shuttlesworth) was from Ohio -- (paraphrased) -- Only the good Ohio players come to Michigan -- the rest go to Ohio State.

I'll show my age here... 1. Jim Mandich 2. Dennis Franklin 3. Larry Banks 4. Harry Banks 5. Phil Hubbard

Spending some time talking to Jim Tressel on Maui before the Hula Bowl when he coached. He's a very sincerely nice person in addition to being a fair football coach. I got pictures, autographs, and he pulled me over to introduce me to Hop Cassady; it was a very nice encounter.

Stadium area I lived out on that side of town before moving to the east side where I live now. I get out to that area occasionally; the last time about a week ago. There really isn't much there, yet. The U of Phoenix stadium is out at Loop 101 (about 99th avenue) and Glendale Avenue, which...

Archie on the diving pass reception up the sidelines against Penn State in 1975. It kept us in the game against a top opponent (which we went on to win), kept alive our undefeated season and NC hopes, and demonstrated to the press that we hadn't lost our resolve after the Rose Bowl loss the...

The great statistic in that post was that you have a son who is a distinguished scholar, BB73. Northwestern is a great institution at which to matriculate. Congratulations.

I'll show my age and mention that the two of these losses that still drive daggers into my heart are the 1980 Rose Bowl loss to USC and the 1976 Rose Bowl. Gary Williams hauled in a long pass in 1980 and was a cinch to take it home, until he ran out of gas on the one yard line. First and goal...

I hate to belabor a point; I've made my position known that Karen Holbrook did a really horrible job screening candidates, looking only for a PC person, ostensibly to attempt to validate her own hiring at OSU, and that I'm opposed to Gene Smith as AD. I also posted before reading Friday...

I thought it was interesting that those of us who know Gene Smith and support Sun Devil athletics because we're so far from Buckeyeland had nothing good to say about him. He really didn't run a "squeaky clean" program. He had absolutely no clue what was going on and athletes are running amok...

There's nothing better than sipping a cold, freshly brewed, seasonal brewski at the Aloha Tower on a warm humid day with Buckeye ohana -- even if they are mauka dwellers! I'm giving serious thought to making the trip to CBus for the shorthorns game. After all, Eddie would go.
