| TB IX: Things to look forward to | |
| Posted By: Crooks 10/22/08 at 07:12 PM | Tuna vs. Tony/Cottom
- I can't wait for this. This is going to be a legitimate battle. The former 2nd round Eagle's Draft pick Tuna vs. "The Bodacious Boots" Cottom and Tony. I hear Japanese fans are flying in to see what they are calling "the real sumo world championship". Horse in Coverage - Horse is underestimated by all, but if he brings half of the intesity to the football field that he does to the basketball court it should be interesting. Thug U Gear - I hear it's hot! Married Cookie - Remember how babied he was just as a fiancee? Triple that and we'll have husband Tom. Doc Playing Line - In high school Tim went from a full back to a offensive lineman. He'll be reliving those days in TB IX, even if he doesn't think so. He'll be having flashbacks of blocking Mike Dollard at football practice. A Referee - I hear English Lee has signed on to ref this year's contest. He'll be throwing up red cards left and right. That European bastard. Macey and Roxie's first TB - I wonder if Matt is going to build an electric fence around the sideline? The PreGame Beer Pong Tourney - This may be the only contest of TB IX that isn't going to be a blowout. If you didn't get that I'm saying the game will be a blowout, and you're an idiot. |
| Posted By: John Waller 10/22/08 at 07:26 PM | Hello,
I know most of you former Ridley Students do not know me but some of you may. I am the varsity football coach and also the Aquatic Manager here at Ridley High School. I've had the pleasure to work with a current TFL player, Sean Kelly. Since I am a bit on the older side (dont think I cant still throw a football threw a 57 chevy tire) I have had the opportunity to give Sean some input regarding his football skills. In addition to me speaking to Sean everyday about the historic stats I have at both Ridley and Temple I have verbally given Sean the opportunity to practice with my 2008 Varsity team. It seems to me only a few of the current TFL players demonstrate the passion and pride that have driven this annual thanksgiving football game. This lack of passion and pride is something I do not tolerate. So, in closing I just wanted to introduce myself to you all and give my support to one of your fellow TFL members, Mr. Sean Kelly. Thank you, John Waller *Spoke and typed in an extremely soft manner. |
| Posted By: Matt 10/23/08 at 11:50 AM | I'm with Coach Waller on this one. It seems that a lot of people are lacking the usual passion for the game, and like Coach Waller that is something I will not tolerate. The message boards have been dead lately, the trash talk (whether it be online, or in person) has been at a minimum. I don't know if its the fact that everyone (including Linebacker U) thinks the game will be a blowout, but whatever the reason this lack of passion needs to stop |
