How do I start.

What a week and a half. Went to Massillon and Canton to watch the State Football Finals. I walked on the 50 at Facet field. That would be a great feeling to play there. The tradition and majestry of Canton Mckinley, and the many pro's that have played at the hall of fame field. To bad I cant go back in time or I' would be throwing touchdown passes on that field. Alas in my dreams I will be.

Coach Brian Cross who can about take any job inohio now, let us come to practice on friday. Mckinley looked good, but we could have beat them. and If you play the super 7 game, we would beat them cause the lost to Marion Harding, and we stomped Harding. They were dazed and confused as Thunderstruck rang through our bleachers.

Ok, heres how the weekend went.

Thurday I took off and picked up the silverback, no not a gorilla, but yes at the same time. He showed me his new ink that he and his wife had done, pretty sweat stuff. I'm to chicken to get a tatoo. I like them, but will i like it in 10 years or later in life? Anyway if I got one I wouldnt know what to do, besides I'm deathly affraid of needles. Anyway form there we went to Hummers house...nursed a Molson tripple x, man that think was potent alcohol. I was informed that our yearly bear guzzle contest on the way down would not fly this year. I was sad and disapointed. John and his boy finally showed up and we were on our way.

On the way I shared stories about my ipod and told a few good jokes. I usually hear good jokes and think i can recant them...usually disater happens cause i fuckem up or am laughing at myself. Good to know right....

We show up in Massilon at BW3. I talked to bucket head. A chris Speilman era player in massilon. Nice guy. He told us stories about Massilon. I wish Napoleon had 1/100 the dedicated fans as Massilon. The place was all coaches, no good eyecandy to look at. Silver and I played trivia and sucked down honey bears. Thats Honey Brown as Allison pointed out. We demolished about 50 wings between the 6 of us. Not that impressive. I broke out the cigars, and Had a good first night.

We get back to the hotel and had a WWF wrestling match between the two beds....I got pummeled. The Miz didnt make the trip.

Friday we get up and head to the first of 6 games. All the games were onesided. No really great games, but fun none the less. Soon the Glove decide that it was time to show us Dover and the guys who burned his varsity jacket. Actually we made the trip to Woody Hayes field in New Philly and the flash showed us his old stomping grounds. We even stopped at a the infamous trail cheese shop. I watered the bushes as I refused to go into a cheese shop.

The nectar is flowing good and we head to a local pub, Gatsby's Pub. What a dive, but what a riot. If your ever in Canton I say look it up.

There was some good eye candy in there, and I flirted with the barmade. Nicholas Eberle Denied. Anyway that wasnt the point of the trip, but it was fun.

More games, Like I said nothing close. Brookhaven played in the D2 final, we beat them a copuple years back ,it was the greatest victory of my coaching career. We were down big at Halftime and came back to down the number one team in the state. Classic. 22 Smash

We soon made it back to the hotel were everyone winded down to do it again on Saturday.

Sometime in there we we stopped at BW3 about 3 times and downed about 500 wings over the weekend between the many visits. Now, there was about 10 of us, so thats not really a great number,

Saturday We waited around for the D1 game, the Mckinly game. It was Colerain v Mckinley. Mister Simpson, thats his real name, was impressive, but Goodman, the Q, was even more impressive. The game was good for the first half and then got out of control.

Got back late Saturday/Sunday. Trip was definately a blast. Looking forward to coaching in it one day. hopefully next year as an assistant, then someday as the head hancho. Well, I could think of a couple other things I'd like to accomplish...but I won tbore you. Speaking of that, I need a guest book or counter to see how many of you actually read this crap.



This week at class I aced my practicle exam, I was impressed with myself. I'm definately the best book wise in the class, I hope that all the real life stuff works itself out, some of it is overwelming. I briefly think of going back to school and doing the hole shabang, but that would be a long time in school. But I'd make a good Pediatrician. I also want to be a lawyer, so i need to make up my mind. Rambling doesnt seem to stop.

I sold some trees this week, fun stuff.

I didnt work out at all thsi week. I feel like a bum. But next week I'll hit it hard again.

Just got back from dinner witha bunch of friends. We went to BW3 in D Town. Rick Small took over as they had toys for tots fundraiser. It was cool cause there was a lot of people. Our seat to eat sucked, we were in the corner out of the way. Afterward and during we played trivia. I dominate. I beat Fajita or whatever his name is and he has like a billion points. I thin i won 3 games. But I lost my favortie game, The abused News, on the last Question. I pride myself with being well read in the newspaper. played a little golf while downing some Labatt Blue. I guess thats as close to Hockey As were going to get this year.

I've rambled a bit. Was going to write a good email, but am now deciding it can wait. Sorry Allison.

See you on the flipside
