Lost Old Dad

Recommended Posts

Anybody else have a 'OLD' player that might be playing? Or wants to, or has anymore solid info on it?

 

All I know about it is the article that was in the Newsless Journal and a phone call I got from the 'clone' asking me if I would pay the $100 for him to play if he can make it home for it.

 

I asked him if he was still in shape for it. He proceeded to tell me how his bench press is now 55 pounds HIGHER than graduation, and his 40 time is still the same. Dodging bullets has a way of keeping your speed up! LOL

When you are still subject to being deployed, you tend to stay in shape......in addition to both 12 oz curls and 2 ounce shots. LOL

 

'Rumor' has it that there is four or MORE former Mr Football selectees going to play. I told the clone I would LOVE to watch Gaston Miller running wild again.

Maybe BA could get a team together too and play Riverdale for old times sake? Those were great games. Edited by Playerscoach

This would be one of the more interesting Alumni games there has been. Some pretty good has beens would be playing. Better than most of the never where's that have played in other Alumni games I have seen.

I've been to several Alumni games. So far I haven't seen any that could catch the Bradley/Cleveland games. Really hope they go at it again this year. 2 I won't ever go watch again unless Bradley plays them are Polk County and Walker Valley. Outside of Bradley and Cleveland, only one I wouldn't mind watching if it ever happens is, Maryville and Alcoa. That'd be a good one.

Any news on this?

 

The clone's unit is partially deploying to Poland so he REALLY needs to know something so he can put in for leave to come home and play. Add in its a 14 hour drive one way from Fort Sill, travel time needs to be planned for also.

 

What Coaches need to be contacted also?

Well its officially now too late for the 'clone' to put in for leave to play and I am NOT going to have another heart attack so he can come home on emergency leave!

 

Would be VERY nice to know if this game is actually going to be played.  If for nothing else for those of us who would like to come out to watch and support it!

 

Details, details, DETAILS!!!!!!!

    • QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
