Steveh | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:18 pm     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 . . . |
Gidget | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:38 pm     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. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:44 pm     I think Donny should go see Secondhand Lions |

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. |
Suitsmefine | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 03:59 pm     Ketchup????? Was it good?????LOL |
Steveh | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:11 pm     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. |
Muttley | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:17 pm     pssst! Toledo is playing at 'Cuse next week. And now I must go shudder through yet another OT with the NY Football Giants. see ya. |
Steveh | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Oh hey. It's YOU. LOL I forgot all about yr new email address. |
