  3. WOW, that gives the Tigers one heck of a pitching staff and adds pop to a pretty dangerous line-up.
  4. I've been away from wrestling for quite a while now, but I'm slowly getting back into it. I recognize Ron Simmons, but I had no clue that he was part of the APA.
  5. I realize what you are saying, but I guess a student could have failed, then played the following year as a 2nd year freshman.
  6. Hornswaggle wins again. Did he use any of that special paint and run through walls? Who's The APA?
  7. Thanks for the posts. Keep 'em coming.
  8. Baseball Mascot Gets New Name After 'PorkChop' Is Deemed Offensive Tuesday, December 04, 2007 ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Two days after naming its mascot "PorkChop," the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple-A affiliate abruptly dropped the moniker after receiving complaints from Hispanics that it was offensive. The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, whose mascot is a large, furry pig, had selected PorkChop from more than 7,300 fan submissions. The team, which begins play in 2008, announced Monday that the mascot will be named "Ferrous" instead. General Manager Kurt Landes said he heard from several Hispanics who said PorkChop was derogatory. "We were really unaware of any negative connotations with the word 'pork chop,"' he said. "If it offended a few, it's a few too many." Guillermo Lopez, vice president of the Latino Leadership Alliance, said he was called "pork chop" when he worked at Bethlehem Steel decades ago. "If my parents were alive, they'd be having fits," said Lopez, among those who complained to the team. "It meant much more to them than it does to Puerto Ricans now in the Lehigh Valley." PorkChop had been submitted by 32 fans. The replacement name, Ferrous — from the Latin word "ferrum," or iron — received the most fan nominations, with 235. The team moved to Allentown from Ottawa — where it was known as the Lynx — following the 2007 season. Construction is wrapping up on a new stadium in east Allentown.

  17. He does have a state championship ring!!!
  18. Here's a little something that I managed to dig up on these two coaches: Coach Humplik and Coach Vansa were High School teammates in Cameron, Texas. (Cameron Yoemen) They were also college roommates at Sam Houston State. Sounds like quite a friendly rivarly building for this baseball season.
  19. The yankees are crazy. A-Rod opts out of a 250 million dollar deal to test the market. A deal that includes the RANGERS paying a portion of his salary. When A-Rod realizes that on one can spend 300 million on him he goes back to the team that he said he was finished with. The stupid yankees, reportedly, offer him a 25 million dollar raise. HOW? WHY? The player said that he no longer wanted to be a yankee. He cost them money by opting out of the orginal contract because they no longer have TEXAS RANGER money. (thank god) Then he gets a raise. I can't believe the yankees have so little man-hood. Oh well, i guess it better than A-Rod being in the AL West.
  20. If he's going to be nominated for something on this site we could at least spell his name right. Let me clear this up, his name is Humplik. H-U-M-P-L-I-K, there's no C.
  21. Week 12 Ohio State @ Michigan Kentucky @ Georgia West Virginia @ Cincinnati Boston College @ Clemson Oklahoma @ Texas Tech Mississippi St @ Arkansas Louisville @ South Florida Maryland @ Florida State
  22. Same song as last year, 21 AAA will get a sweep.
