General VU Discussion / Re: 2015 College Rankings

Gustie is the alma mater of James McPherson, Pulitzer Prize winning author of BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM. and retired professor at Princeton. I ran a regional office for a publishing company and lived in Princeton for four years. .As a Civil War buff I knew of McPherson and was able to attend a few of his seminars. Fantastic!

Great news. Perhaps the Horizon League will follow suit. :thumbsup:

General VU Discussion / Regilious Freedom Act
March 30, 2015, 07:10:33 PM
Will the asinine "Spence" bill hurt Valpo's recruiting efforts? Will there be a campus protest march? Let me know as I would like to join the enlighten few from ole VU.

Bad final play call from Bryce. Almost as bad as Pete Carrolls blunder :crazy:

I'd recommend the following:

Blue Goose
Old Style
Northside Grill
The Corrale (The Fuzz use to hang out here,me too)

These are all great places, or am I behind the times? :lol:

As far as I am concerned it is no longer coach Nept. It's coach Bryce Drew. One hell of a job in recruiting scheduling,game management and image.He's my COY. Go Valpo! :thumbsup:

A starting time of 10:oo pm EST is tough on us old folk. But more disappointing is the fact that we will miss Bill Maher and will watch Valpo instead. It's like going from comedy to tragedy in one fell swoop. Bad for the digestive system too

General VU Discussion / Re: Obama criticizes crusades

Obama was right on in his criticism of the Crusades. An article "The First Victims of the First Crusade" by Susan Jacoby recently appeared in the Sunday Times. The crusaders started off by killing Jews in Trier and Mainz in preparation for the invasion of The Holy Land. Over 700 Jews were slaughtered in Mainz alone. So you "cultural ignoramuses" need to read up on the First Crusades.----- Go Obama you got it right.

NYT published a big obit incl.pictures of the "FUZZ"

Butler beat Maine by 42 pts. The game was played at Hinkle so the "Dogs" enjoyed a home court advantage. Now,Valpo plays Maine at a neutral site so I'll predict a Valpo win by less than 20 pts. Book it! "Fill the steins -----"

The game will be televised on the SEC network. I intend to watch it. Go Valpo!

Although a loss is a loss a 1 pt. loss is certainly better than the 30,40,50 pt. losses we've seen in the past. Go Valpo! :thumbsup:

General VU Discussion / Valpo Law School reference
October 11, 2014, 05:09:42 PM
Shields Up! Saw the movie "THE JUDGE" and there is an unflattering character in the film that refers to himself as being a Valpo Law School.grad. Not a good referral for the Law School or its graduate. But then again,IMO, Valpo Law is second rate. Anyhow,you be "The Judge." >:(

SHIELDS UP! This one could be a loser.

Tinkers to Evers  to Chance was a great winning combination but Valpo's ACC version (Adams to Carlson to Cecehini) sure is a stinker. Should we lose to Missouri Baptist (I hope not) I'm going to start a petition to DROP FOOTBALL. Will anyone join me?  :o

We use to call the "Fuzz" Altoona for his home town. My wife whom I had not met as yet thought his name was Al Tuna. On a personal note,when the Packers were in town in the early 60's playing the Unitias led Colts,our 8 yr. old son was the regional PP&K champ. He was competing at half time for the right to go to the Super Bowl (he came in 2nd.)Anyhow,called Fuzz at his hotel and asked him if he would pose for a picture with our boy. He did. In fact he had Forrest Gregg and Jim Ringo with him. Great time had by all. Our prayers are with you Fuzz. :thumbsup:

Valpo Football / Re: Game #2 - St. Joe's Pumas
August 29, 2014, 07:16:21 PM
I miss Milan's analysis of our games as he was (IMO) a realist. So, to keep the record straight and honest I'll pick St. Joe by 7. Hell our "D" still stinks we miss Hoffman and therefore our "O" stalls(where are you Leslie). Should we beat St.Joe -yeah. Will we beat St. Joe - hell no! >:(
