I watched the 1st quarter at Schlesinger's and just watched the video clips on-line and I'll tell you, Michael Vick is one of the best QB out there right now.

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin'. Well, Army / Navy week is upon us and it should be a good one. There are numerous activities all week here at West Point to include the annual Goat / Engineer game, Spirit Luncheon, Pep Rally - Bon Fire, ect. The highlight of the week will be the big game of the week next Saturday down in Philadelphia, PA. I have the prestigious honor of escorting the Honorary Captains (3 Army Medal of Honor recipients) to mid-field for the coin toss as well as all that entails. This year's 3 Army Honorary Captains are COL Jack Jacobs, COL Paul Bucha and the newest recipient, SSG Salvatore Giunta. You can read more about the actual award and how each of them received it here:

A great day to be a soldier and kick some Navy butt I say. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys...... :D

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the joe is brewin' as always. Today they will play the Goat - Engineer game which is a build up to this weekend's Army / Navy Classic. Here is a little info about today's game:

Goat-Engineer game: As part of the run-up to the Navy football game, the Corps of Cadets plays the Goat-Engineer game. First played in 1907, it is a game between the "Goats" (the bottom half of the senior (Firstie) class academically), and the "Engineers" (the top half). The game is played with full pads and helmets using eight-man football rules. The location has changed over the years, with recent venues being Shea Stadium, Michie Stadium, and Daly Field. Legend states that Army will beat Navy if the goats win, and the opposite if the engineers win. In recent years, female cadets have begun playing a flag football contest, so there are now two Goat-Engineer games, played back to back the same night.

Tomorrow, we have the Spirit Luncheon at Ike Hall which is a huge pep rally and then tomorrow evening is the bon-fire / send off of the team. I hope everyone has a great day as well and enjoys a favorite cigar or two....... :banger

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. The Spirit Luncheon and bon-fire is scheduled today as part of the annual build up to the Army / Navy game.

Beth and I will be hittin' the road in the morning in the direction of Philadelphia to enjoy this weekend's festivities. I hope everyone has a good one and enjoys it as well........ :D

Congrats to the Navy for winning the game and hopefully next year we get that long earned win. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys...... :)

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on now for a good hour. Woke up this morning to a nice dusting of snow outside, so I took out the shovel for the first time this year and made some noise. I'm sure those knuckleheads will be out this morning driving to the City as normal and there will be an accident here and there especially going over the mountain to work. Oh well, it happens every year until folks realize that you have to slow down when the roads get slippery. Anyway, be safe out there and enjoy...... :D

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on since 0400 (4am). We conducted West Point's adverse weather conference call and with no doubt, it's a "Code Red" resulting from the current blizzard:

I'll wait till daylight and then get bundled up to clear the vehicles off and shovel out the walk ways and such.

I hope everyone has a good week and enjoys a few of your favorites before the New Year is here....... :tu

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the coffee has been on now for a good hour. Well, I got the driveway, walks, trail around the house, back patio and trail to the shed all shoveled off yesterday as planned. I'm not sure if it was all the snow or that I'm getting older but it whipped my butt. We got roughly 18" to 20" of the fluffy stuff and the drifts are amazing. I might have to invest in a snow blower at the end of this season when they go on sale as this "Global Warning" thing is a bunch of garbage, LOL. Anyway, there are only 4 days left in 2010, enjoy them with a favorite or two or....... :banger

Re: Good morning Post and sports update
 

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. Well, the Eagles lost last night 24 - 14, maybe they should have played it this past Sunday evening during the blizzard.
