That a boy Luther!



I would like to thank the Academy and everyone that voted for my presentation entitled "Ypsilanti Heroes". I completed it on a rush of emotion after reviewing our last recruiting class for this year. I also was late for lunch so I had to cut it short. No need to thank me I'ii continue.

"I would gladly trade in that statute of the golden naked man, for a MAC Championship Trophy for 2012"!

For those that do not know, that video of High Flight at the end, was the very last video seen on late night television. Analog black and white TV programming.

Yes Old school TV where the show that you are watching fades in and out like Eagles football teams. Ghostly figures appear then fade away like watching a wavy sea.

And if you are lucky you had a silver rabbit things growing behind the set; aka TV, to improve your picture quality. Those same guys from the 50's, repackaged those rabbit ears as High Digital antennas. Brilliant! Like the idea behind bottled water.

Falling antennas. Black and White TV. No video tape. No shows. No 500 channel options. No internet. Zero.

Think about it. That guy that came up with the movie Poltergeist, was likely a guy sitting in front of that fuzzy white snowy TV screen, getting pist by the second. :muttering: How to get even.

He had his last laugh going to the bank with all that coin he earned. He deserves the Emmy for converted negative energy into a positive way to make money. Desperation into a classic alien movie. The american dream.

You gotta see it. And do not bother trying to find the house it was filmed at because it is gone.

Ok back to sMAC football. (NOTE to csnbbs. Big brother can you change the web site forum name for us. Do it for Knotts.)

Yes. Winning is very alien to an eastern football fan like me. All of the faithful from the dark days are all kool-aid drinkers. Hoping a sign from the football gods that our program is climbing the mountain to higher heights of winning. Yes Charlie not so Shine.

With that in mind; Winning. Eagles. Flight. Mountains. Climbers. Oh Yes and John Denver. Enjoy.

GO HURONS!

What is up with the login feature? It is designed to retain your password, but for reasons unknown it doesn't allow direct access? I have to request a new password every time!

If you love beer. I mean real beer drinkers. You drink whatever someone buys you. Right?

So you look past what beverage it is, not to be rude. It's only about the person buying you a drink. The moment. Thank them then enjoy the special occasion. It does not happen already day.

So I seen the Heineken video, where the dude is coming in the back door with girl in hand, crashing the party!

The Dude gets a greenlight to enter the kitchen and break all the rules of sanitized cooking, to proceed to the party.

The waiter, the hostess, and the magician know what is going on and they see the distraction. And eventually they join the party.

Now I'm in for the music and the crazy singer. I want the song on my iTunes. Where to buy?

Come to find out that it's Vanilla Ice all over again. In fact the real dude singer was from the 60's! They dubbed over the voices of an old Indian song record for a B-Movie. It's a commercial. It's not real.

So here is the five minute video form the 60's on You Tube. Where the girl in the video is worth watching as they all come together. A girl hero, breaking all the rules. Enjoy the Mo-ment. The Stooges influence here.

I had to break-out the Google translator app to figure out what the party was about.

Basically it's about Life. Life would be easy if we just stop and enjoy the crazy people surrounding us. Pull down you pants and slide on the ice every once in a wide. We are live and human.

Hurons Football. Glory!

Yep, Chuck Ealey was, and is, a quality guy on and off the field who is still not in the College Football Hall of Fame...
When it comes to past great MAC quarterbacks, it is hard not to mention your own Charlie Batch and the numbers he put up...
Especially against the Rockets on several occasions... GO HURONS !!! (Except when playing Toledo)
