howdy do ! to the new kids on the block.....so how does it feel to be
the new kids in town? soaring like the eagles, will you be
staying @ the hotel california?
..i think someone asked how did a buckeye get a family connection
to gator land?....military duty. coming from a family of about one
hundred kids...[ us kids always wonder if our parents had any
fun hobbies?
].....it was pretty obvious, college was going
to be "up" to our desires...let's see...4 went to ohio university, one
with her masters there, and one dayton, one wright state, rio grande,
& one sister out to kansas...oh, arizona...& still living outside tucson?
..i'm not sure...of everyone, as we all separated after our parents died
in the late 80's.
. we were raised in "groups" ..cover nearly 30 years,
so....a few nieces & nephews..are older than their uncles/aunts. again,
we always wonder...why our parents didn't do vacations-
amost forgot..one graduated from shawnee state...which is very interesting,
as....our father did the concrete work...on the orginal building..intersting,
...sk8?...it does not match any of the other buildings....cos it started out
as branch ..for ou. * my lil'cutie pie..received her associate degree before
going onto osu...
soooooo , by fate..my first duty was in fla., and where i started was
gainsville. now the miltary take so many active duty to the service
academy....& that how i ended up @ the air force academy...prep school,
..i think i still i have my jersey...somewhere...falcons!
but the
prep school was called by a differnt name..huskies....i just
the
academy! & i still following them..however, i am mostly a "fan" of football
...for the bands, school traditions, and all the schools...* i hope that big
$, don't destroy what the orginal goals were for...
i remember where i was when the marshall plane crashed...& the silver
bridge. alot of my friends helped rebuild the team...so much, our whole
high school team was there, their first game..and it was a former "west
sider"...who scored the winning td with a few seconds left...
[yes..we were inside the locker room after the game!] so the thunderin'
herd..is very special memory... on a sad note, the 2 players that scored
the winning td...did not live to see the moive last year.
other than my wife & 2 nieces graduating from ..osu, woody hayes hosted
a special day for our school.
, one of our immature player
[fresh~man}..smarted off...mr. hayes..gave him a "history lesson"!...i
guess, what i remember most..was this "wax" machine they had..& walking
on the field....our dad used to listened to the osu games on the radio.
this game with dublin...had some of my best memories..first , someone came
onto our bus..stole some of the coaches' jackets..and my!
. however,
all the guys on our team...brought me a new one! [think about that--high
school players]....the week before, i had my best game against ports. notre
dame..all the players chose me as their "team captain". you know?...even
today..i would be consider very small for any football...however,i sorta have
this one..lil'talent..of catching the ball..anywhere near me...dublin, is where
i made a "catch"....& the whole stadium clapped. in fact, my first td was
actually a pass to the receiver behind me....except...i didn't realized it,
until the quarterback..told me.
that's kind show my interests in football...por, michagan, we'll see the true
fans..as they work things up....
, and the bowl situation is even
worst...goodness me, i hope they don't destroyed the rivaries games &
the traditions...
why gators? well, i liked their colors..and i had 2 friends...one was @
maimi..and one at fla. state...so that only left the gators....& i think
gators..are cool!....try to think back..all 3 didn't win 5 games between
them...buttie..talk about partying /having fun....
..and i
always enjoyed steve s./. he is prefect for the college game..cos he
rooting right along.....esp. when something dosn't goes his way. now
he's at s. carolina...a team that beat osu x2...and their ohio running
back..who did the most damge..in many ways..makes the 2 games
special...in my eyes.
as for true..fans..participating ..and rooting ?..i 'm happy when our team
wins..if by the rules..[i heard alot of people thought miami got robbed by
osu?...reallly?..go back when the osu reciever- not only caught the first
down pass...but was being held...but yes, the end zone play, it wasn't
pass interference..] however, if fans from their team were hurt..and
needed assistance... i could care less..they were from another
team....* i would do my best to help them. and i think "real fans" are
there for the team & players,no matter the score or record...*shocking..
i miss bo s.,
he made it easy to root against m., but it also increase both teams'
merits. what i remember most, was after woody was fired, & the m.'s
sports writers..were dogging him...he informed them that woody could
come and sit on the m. 's bench anytime..in their place!..think about that.
oh, i believe...m. won't be down...for long, that is a very talented team.
....so crash? ...i read your sporting events....have you ever heard of the
national youth sports safety foundation? ..w.nyssf.org? "they were aware of
the harmful effects of emotional abuse on children in sports and has come
up with a code of conduct."
...i was so impressed, that i used
those rules when setting up our lcoal soap box derby....however, * these
rules of conduct...just shouldn't be for children....how much better for
all..if our adult sports would...adopt? hmmmm , i think they got something
there?
i also printed for all families..."when things don't go your
way", by dr. joyce b., its excellent too...so to answer your ?..the all~
american soap box derby is our family sports....& i think since life is a
competetion ..the ways people play their games..will add or take away
their values system....
...I appreciate it. I'm more calm so far today than I thought I'd be.
..thanks, all shookup, ...fyi, yes..i understood your
