Donny Patrick (Alison's bf as of August 11) has caught 11 passes for 219 yards and 2 touchdowns (leading the team in all those categories) for NCAA Div. II Bloomsburg U. The team is 1-2 at this point in the season. They lost yesterday to Lockhaven 17-15. Their first loss to that school in 10 or so years. Donny transferred from Pitt, where he wasn't getting to play much, this year.

Bloomsburg has sent a few players to the NFL over the years--Ali has spoken, not optimistically, of Donny's chances to play pro--the most famous being recently ret. WR Andre Reed of the Buffalo Bills. He'll probably make the NFL Hall of Fame.

BTW, Pitt--where Donny and Alison met-- lost to Toledo yesterday (a Mid-American Conf. school). MAC schools had three other huge upsets yesterday--N. Illinois over nat. ranked Alabama & Marshall over nat. Kans. State. Miami of Ohio also waxed Colorado State 41-21. My beloved MAC alma mater--Bowling Green SU--battled fourth ranked Ohio St down to the wire before losing 24-17.

I've been trying all day to figure out a way to share this exciting (to me at least) info in the preceding para w/ SOMEBODY. LOL But Ali has made quite a few ref. to Donny's season, esp. lately, so in case any of you were wondering . . .

Exciting? Football is an analogy for life. No?

I used to know the wife of a pro football player. He lasted two seasons. For all his size and talent, he never went anywhere with the pros. Last I heard, she was doing all his class work so he could get a teaching certificate.

You forgot UCF. They're a MAC team.

Oh, wait. They didn't upset their opponent yesterday, did they? ;)

The mighty Pitt-slaying Toledo will visit next week. And we ain't Pitt. I'm steeling myself (get it?) already.

UCF got kilt by Syracuse, right? They weren't in the MAC when I was, but they had a good team last year I know--they beat BG, one of two teams to do so. I forgot to mention that BG beat Purdue (20th in U.S. at the time) a couple of weeks ago. If Toledo is playing at UCF, it'll be a good game I think.

Bloomsburg plays perennial nemesis Slippery Rock next week I believe. They are having a tough year.

I didn't mention Ball State, Akron, Kent State, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Ohio U. (another alma mater), Eastern Michigan and who else either? LOL

Yes, I got the steeling ref. I'm a lifelong Steelers fan. Their summer training camp used to be about a mile away from my house when I was a kid.
