re: Who remembers Dawn Tonkovich

Wow, had him for a teacher too. I remember him flinging in a half court shot in the BHS gym like it was no big deal.
0.92 ppg D is pretty solid.

Squeaker vs. Barners saved their season.
I mean we already had the Cookie Man. 1981 Final Four team.
Yep much much older than when I saw them at the Centroplex in 1981, but we all are :lol:

I kind of think opposite of OP. Thought he did not have the best voice but ended up being a great vocalist with his singing style matched to the VH sound.

I've come to think of him as kind of a crooner, Tony Bennett style rock singer. Which reminds me, didn't DLR say he'd like to be the next Sinatra of Vegas? I'm sure he'll try - Frank made it to 82!
In the Dome! Wanted to see the Tigers win a natty in person at least once in my lifetime.
:geauxtigers:
Cool stuff - Wow, "College Football at a Crossroads" in 1981!
Cool stuff. Played hoops with him & his brother in the old Gym Armory in the 80s. Needless to say Joey was tough to move out of position. ??

Working through Crime & Punishment and The Iliad.
Just finished Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Hmmm Hoosiers are legit. But their offense wouldn’t have kept up with the 2019 Tigers.
Nah I think it's just a select few high profile A-holes in recent years. Finebaum, Rece, Portnoy e.g.
Berry. Should’ve given him more chances after the fumble. With our inept OL at least he’s quick enough to hit the holes that are there before they close. And speed to get to the edge.

Man did you see who we had out there? Not exactly our best guys in the back seven except for Pickett and even he got picked on some - he's still a freshman. And besides McKinley and Guillory we didn't have much out there at DL. But yes please tell Lane to find us a better DC for next year.
Did y’all hear the Saban slip when he said “LSU” talking about his 2015 team instead of Bama???

Saw a stack of them at an Akron B&N, and wondered if it was just being promoted in OH. Sounds like it must be doing well nationally.

I'm not sure if there's ever a "...sweltering night in northeastern OH", and there must be lots of flashbacks and backstory for it to be set in one evening. But the premise sounds good. I might check this one out.
Awesome stuff, my Dad talked for years about Bert Jones to Andy Hamilton. Interesting how they painted ND in one end zone.
Yep was at that one too - and the ‘86 Miami OH and Ole Miss debacles too. A&M & ND games that year were wild wins. Fun times in the student section except for the outcomes sometimes!

Crime & Punishment is a fantastic book. Did you like it?

Not yet; didn't get through too much of it on the flights. I'm kind of a plodder with some books. This one might take me a few weeks.
It's a close call, maybe the Road over Grapes? But I might think differently tomorrow. I'm not a bawler, but I was crying at the end of the Road.

I was in a similar dilemma before a long flight to Europe last week. I took Crime & Punishment, because when the heck am I gonna read it if I keep waffling? Still have to get through lots of the classics.
Been going for quite a few years now, regardless of who the DC & DL coach are.
Nice - Was 8 years old for my first LSU game.

Is this near the grassy area behind the day care center and not far from Walkons?
