Damn, it’s still snowing, and I think it’s actually snowing harder now than it has all day.

That’s cool. I don’t think my dad got anything like that. He joined in 1942. He never went over seas as he was a training pilot that was stationed in San Antonio.

Dad was a paratrooper in WWII and Korea. I have his old jump book (above), and I have his discharge papers framed. We have some old pictures of his from overseas as well. I need to get those all saved on disc or something.

You may start seeing ads on the site sometime this week or next week. I’m going to do my best to keep them from becoming obtrusive. If they do get to be a pain, PLEASE let me know and we can adjust the frequency and what-not.

LOL that reminds me of when Coach Hayden Fox, Luther, and Dauber all left the Screaming Eagles of Minnesota State to coach the Orlando Breakers

Wow. We have a BUNCH of snow already, and it’s supposed to keep snowing all day. 45 mph wind gusts. This should be fun.

Goodbye sweet earth
We will miss you
Until the sweet spring sun
Burns off the white pestilence
And we rejoice again

Doesn’t mean anything until Friday. If he misses Friday its a clear indication he won’t play.

That is also true, I wonder if he’ll be a limited participant today. I’ll also be curious about the Vikings, Tomlinson particularly. I would expect Dantz out though. Speaking of which, what the hell is going on with Booth?

Sounds like Dantz & Tomlinson will be out. No clue what the deal is with Booth.

Yeah they’ve played a terrible schedule but it’ll get more difficult as the season goes on, at Dallas and 2 games against a plucky Giants team. The rest is pretty weak. Probably the biggest feather in their cap is a blowout non competitive win against a 7-1 Vikings team, which is probably part of why it isn’t talked about as much as the Vikings weak strength of schedule. Probably best not to compare as the Vikings were not competitive in a head to head with them.
