Hey Bearcat, Again, congrats to Jack and Grayson! It's great to place not one, but two more pictures up on the wall in that hallway at ND. I'm glad Jack's will be next to the pictue of that last kid who won it for the Irish, what ever his name was... It's been fun. I loved my 4 year tenure of being an obnoxious coach/dad/cheerleader/team mom/cooler coordinator/etc. for the Irish and I thank you for allowing me to squeeze an additional 5-6 years out of it living vicariously through you, Tee, and Jack. Irish forever, Harry Thornton

Thanks for the LOVE !

I'll see you boys (and girls) on Saturday! GO IRISH!!

Thanks BCB. I hope you guys are conducting your meetings with the utmost class. I'll see you in Franklin. Harry GO IRISH!!!!

Actually those shirts were "Carolina Blue". Harry

OK. I'll translate it that way. That sounds a lot more like the future Dr. Leen I kinda know. I feel better now. Harry

Backatcha. The Cat again ?. First ones on me.

Just wanted to sign off for the year with this... NCAAs Incredible as always. My 3rd in a row. EVERYONE should go at least once. Things that went right... 1. - great seats at every session. B. - St. Lou is a great town. Walked everywhere. 3. - Hooter's (maybe they could start opening earlier and have a breakfast menu) D. - Great time attending various meetings with Mockingbirds and getting crashed by a herd of Cyclones well wishing Bono & Nate. 5. - Caldwell straight up WHOOPIN' Metcalf in Namathesque proportion. F. - I won 50.00 at the crap table Things that went wrong... A. - No Tarheels on the Podium. 2. - No Mockingbirds on the Podium. C. - Getting the Prius stuck in the mud at 4:30am in O'Fallon, Ill. (50.00 tow truck fee offset my casino winnings) 4. - Not much else In ref. to McCallie I'm pretty sure it's the 1st time I've ever said anything positive about the E.B.E. but I just gotta (I just don't bleed that shade of blue) 1. - Hats off to 'em for going from a team last year with I believe 6, count 'em, 6 holes in it to a team this year with every weight filled and also being somewhat contenders. I wish Notre Dame could do that. B. - T.J. Duncan looked friggin' great. Good job T.J. ThThThThThThThThats all folks! See you next year at a meeting near you, Harry

Wow. It must have really been something awful for you to make a post like that.

Hey Raider76... You were right and the Iowa State guy was wrong afterall. Harry

Congratulations to all you guys. Wow! I'll see you in St. Louis but I got a feelin' it ain't goin' to be at Hooters this time. Give 'em HADES. Harry

Are the "Cretins from the sticks" gonna have a pre match meeting and then show up? If so, where's the meeting? Harry

Apparently Dennis will be too hung over to open the Cat at 11:00 so we must move it down the block to North Shore Grill. A little less ambiance, a little more tater squeezins. Life's full of little trade-offs. Harry

Say Bweh, Got feelin I might see you on Sun. I heard raider76 has been demoted after he burnt the popcorn against Oklahoma so he now has bathroom detail. Either which way, he aint gonna make the meeting. ***ALSO, i GOTTA CHANGE VENUE. THE CAT DOESN'T OPEN TIL NOON AND THERES JUST TOO MUCH ON THE AGENDA TO COVER IT IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. STAY TUNED... Harry

It is recommended that you all attend either 5:30 Sat. eve. vigil mass or early mass on Sunday A.M. so you can make the meeting. It can be held at a "non-billiards" venue because BCB won't be there because he would "rather watch paint dry than sit through a college wrestling match". I think he misses the action packed days of coaching in the "Kind. - 2nd grade" div. of an F.C.I. tournament and watching the overly enthusiastic young moms bounce, er, cheer rather for their young gladiators as they battle back and forth to something like a 25 - 27 decision. Come to think of it, I miss those days too. It was pretty lonely @ "The Cat" a few weeks ago prior to the Sooners match. Just me and Dennis and a guy I went to Sts. Peter & Paul with. Whaddaya say, cheeseburger and a cold partner for breakfast and it's off to the match. I've already gotten management to double his deliveries for the week, so, BE THERE !! Harry PS - respond if you're coming so, ex- Dynamo Dennis will know whether or not to triple his order.

Cheers!

NICE !

Nice!! let's go to all of 'em. Yeah, its cold around here but it ain't that cold (yet) Harry

RMC, I think you've been spending a little too much time in ATL at the Rainbow Rallies. You oughta make it back home a little more often brotha, I think you might be losing your bearings. This may be a bad time to bring this up, but, uh, I hear you're in charge of the strategy session at Ga. State Tourney this year. Since we're all off the clock around here after friday, Bearcat and I plan to attend your Sat. of Wrestling. All we require is... A.- a FULL selection of refreshments. B. - pool table(s) C. - decent jukebox Harry

It worked out perfectly...she was a "no show". After a weekend of working like a slave around the Ponderosa (easy ACLU nazi whiners, slaves come in all colors). I was able to maintain my current status and am preparing myself for what is the equivalent of "Husband of the DECADE" state finals... Valentine's Day. Harry

Sir, Please be advised. I have checked with my legal team headed up by ambulance chaser Alexander " Sandy" Gothard and they have advised in no uncertain terms... "From hereforth no party or parties shall herein refereth to any wrestler as "Mr." Without written approval from BCB.He has sole ownership of said title and only affore mentioned BCB can bestow it upon deserving young gladiatpors.any violation of this decree shall henceforth be met head on by swift and painful legal activity.you will be stripped of your coacht priveleges.your computer and or blackberry will be confiscated and you will be required to attend all meetings henceforth AND pick up the tab." Harry

Is that you BRB? Nobody else could be this learned.surely not. Holy crap!!! How much time did you waste on that research?? You know the drill. You said coonass in 2009. You can't crawfish (no pun intended) out of it no matter how long you read your funk and wagnalls and try to legitimize it to a few microscopically thin skinned posters.personally I couldn't care less because I'm just here for the rasslin. Hey bayoubear did the coonass reference make you cry? I bet not. Anyway, wish I couldve seen the annual classic but I was busy on the other side of town witnessing Gods 2nd favorite Irish team edge out His most favorite. Harry

That is tempting and mathematically you are correct however I would be jeopordizing my "Husband of the Decade" status of which I have a lock on at this time. Harry

There's still hope. In a fortuitous twist of fate, she may be already in Chattavegas which would force me to have to meet her at the wrestling venue which would in turn allow me to tailgate, er, strategize with you in one of the many undesirable, crime infested, smoky watering holes that I hold near and dear to my heart and that we normally frequent. We'll cover that today at Fox n Hounds along with N.D.'s new secret strategy to whoop up on the OWLS of Ooltewah. Harry

Actually Notre Dame's odds are better than mine.
