    I will remember Chuck, a good man I met when he was over ninety. He carried his own golf clubs even then, and beat me soundly. He was on Omaha Beach, carrying a radio on his back. He walked across Western Europe, steps behind his unit commander on the front lines and never got so much as a...

    Heroism personified

    None of our family members knew that my Uncle, then just 19 serving as a bomber pilot, had been shot down over France on two occassions. Somehow he was smuggled out, back to England only to fight again. He never spoke of it. At his funeral in 1990 his friend, who he confided to about his awful...

    OT: City makes pitch to keep Bears in Chicago

    I don't know if I agree that these schools will always be in State College, South Bend, Tuscaloosa, etc. Money talks more than ever. If Notre Dame can be had for a billion dollars why wouldnt someone buy the team and play their games in Indianapolis, New York, Chicago, etc.? At one time I...

    OT: City makes pitch to keep Bears in Chicago

    I think it is way beyond time that cities stop this foolish chase after professional sports teams. Billions being spent on stadiums that are used ten times a year, at most? Every decade or so now the owners want the latest in "upgrades" to stadiums so more restaurants, entertainment, motels...

    Let’s see. Car accident? Airplane crash? Ebola? Jealous husband? Swordfish? Well, of all the ways to go swordfish would be second on my list.

    Excellent call on the McDonald's Coca-Cola Moscow mules in those copper cups! They go down fast.

    Me: Doctor it hurts when I do this. (Raise arm above my head) Doctor: Then don't do that.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    The Coach must have spent a ton of money on recruiting the transfers that filled his roster up with starters and second team players. Then he is putting together a class of solid HS kids on top of that. I suspect next year we might see a few more expensive transfers and recruits.

    FC/OT: Pizza Hut is back!

    Excellent! They had a winning formula that took me there for lunch and many family dinners. The salad bar and the personal pan pizzas were favorites of mine. They were one of the many victims of corporate take overs that led to a burden of debt that people tried to pay off by cutting costs...

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    Even ND has only so much money to go around. Auburn wont be signing as many highly ranked national kids as the Irish.
