Only Toledo player to have interception against OSU and Michigan! That's something to tell the grandchildren...

Thanks for being here with us you guys, and thanks to your sons for coming here to play ball and giving us many thrills. But, not only to you, but also to the other Rocket parents and family who no doubt lurk here but choose not to post or maybe indentify themselves. Those game threads have to be brutal for you, but what happens in a game thread STAYS in a game thread. We are truly glad you have been here and sincerely hope you never go away. As always, win or...[ahem]...otherwise...

.... didn't realize he did that - but I will always remember the hit he laid on the Michigan freshman star from Texas - who then left Michigan after his freshman year (name escapes me now)....

I wear my heart on my sleve like many fans and want to see the Rockets get better and better like the next guy. So Ill be here to see them get back to the power that they were and I think they are headed in the right direction. Still hopefully 2 games left to keep them goin in that direction.

Cleague,

Your son has had some great games. Michigan and Ohio State come to mind. He has been an important part of the defense, and we have been fortunate to have him. It has been a pleasure to watch him play, and it has also been enjoyable interacting with the parents plugging into this blog. My daughter is graduating this fall from Toledo, so she has probably been in class with Mark.

We wish your family well.

Your son will be walking away from a nice experience. I am sure he will reflect on it fondly.

Go Rockets!!

It is a great experience, living in jersey, but growing up in philly our whole lives, didn't know what to expect from Toledo. But my son is leaving with a degree,many many friends. I am leaving with alot more miles on my cars. But truthfully a fantastic experience. Not many people can say they had a boy play D-1 football, graduate with a chance to be successful in future. Many brothers forever with the other players. Thankyou all and I would have a beer with anyone of you. Personally SUPERMAN TY.

In fact my family was so excited about Toledo my brother-in-law who played guitar and piano for The Backstreet Boys for 4years did a rendition of Rocket Man for my son. Sounded great and a copy was sent to football office.
