    My one problem with Norwich

    You're on! And I'll tell you what - - I may be a football Giants fan, but since that'll be springtime and the "Boys of Summer" will be playing, I'll even wear my Boston Red Sox cap to McAdoo's. (I'll leave my KC Royals hat at home.)

    My one problem with Norwich

    You just know BTexino is doing really well if he has an offspring who’s a Third at VMI. That alone keeps him young. Well, that and all the driving on I-70 and I-64 to Lexington. You see, he has found the Fountain of Youth in the form of Peach Nehi at a certain convenience store in Beckley...

    My one problem with Norwich

    Yep, YA Tittle, Pat Summerall, Frank Gifford, Joe Morrison, Del Shofner, Alex Webster, Rosey Grier, Sam Huff, the recently-late Andy Robustelli, and a state line 10 miles away where the drinking age was 18. :shake: Those were the days, my friend, those were the days. I agree, it should be a...

    VMI, Citadel to renew football rivalry

    A quick check of Wikipedia indicates VMI was in the Southern Conference from 1924 to 2003, 79 years! That's the longest run of any school ever to be in the SoCon. The Citadel and Furman joined in 1936 and are still in the conference, but that's only a mere 75 years. During my 4 years in...

    VMI, Citadel to renew football rivalry

    Finally heard from DS this morning and he said the bus trip from VMI to the Citadel game was cancelled for "lack of interest." Man, that's kind of sad!

    VMI, Citadel to renew football rivalry

    Citadel-VMI is still a great rivalry and I hope it keeps going. It would be really nice if the game next year in Lexington is on Parents Weekend, (too much to hope for, no doubt), in which case I'd sit on both sides of the field, changing sides at halftime. :thumb: My son was supposed to...

    VMI, Citadel to renew football rivalry

    As the old saying goes, "Truth is stranger than fiction." With 2:53 left in the 4th quarter, it's Bulldogs 41, Keydets 7. Go KeyDOGS!! (Still trying to keep peace in the family.)

    Rat Mass down 10%

    Bruno, never mind about the “Silver Shako.” I know you’re just trying to soften the blow that VMI and The Citadel aren’t going to be invited to become the ACC’s 15th and 16th members. That’s okay, I understand, really, I do. Since “hope springs eternal”, though, maybe our schools can both...

    Rat Mass down 10%

    Well, since Bruno didn’t reveal his exact age, I won’t either. But, I’ll give you a better hint: While at The Citadel my fellow cadets and I very closely followed the events of the “Tet Offensive” and saw way too many names go up on a commemorative plaque on the chapel. :frown: Bruno is...

    Rat Mass down 10%

    Well, truth be told, they put me in the Army Signal Corps, but that's because I was proficient with tin cans and string. Bruno, your hearing must still be okay if you heard my son wince. But, you probably should do something about your failing eyesight, because it appears you're suffering...

    ATTN: Bruno

    Yes, absolutely! Happy birthday, Bruno, and many happy returns. If you keep going the way you are, then you just may even reach my ripe old age. :wink: P.S. It was great seeing you in front of Old Barracks a couple of weeks ago. My son enjoyed meeting you, too. I hope you managed to get...

    Question about the Citadel and VMI

    But Bruno, I frequently wear my VMI “Rat in the Family” tee-shirt and even finally succumbed to putting a “VMI Dad” decal on the back window of my car. Surely those things count for something. Okay, how about, “GO KEYDOGS!” Is that better? :wink:

    for those of you going to VMI

    I sure don't mean for this to be a commercial, but when I found the XL twin flat sheets (sold separately from the fitted ones) at Target last year I sure was thankful. But, I had to hit 3 different Target stores in one day to come up with the 6 XL twin flat sheets on VMI's packing list. There...

    The Citadel

    I was from Connecticut and one of my Citadel classmates was from Madras, Oregon. So, good luck to Fengawr and cjoyce28, especially if you head off to Charleston.
