MattM Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Madison-Grant will not like that drive to the South. Triple B will make sure you know it’s the proud Cubs of Madison Consolidated. blueandgold and piscis1956 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failed to mention Bellmont, but they would obviously be participating. Just slipped my mind. piscis1956 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piscis1956 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 He just threw an idea out there as something to think about and maybe comment on. He obviously doesn’t have all the details fleshed out. Forgetting a team or two on a quickly drawn up proposal doesn’t seem like a big deal, but I think pointing out lapses would be welcome. I don’t think he meant to offend anyone. Feel free to add some possible meat on the bones if you care to. This blueandgold guy keeps throwing out topics to think about and possibly comment on during a time when the board is mostly dead except for RTC announcements and the like. At least he’s trying to keep the comment board active. blueandgold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he didn't call stalling. Out of curiosity, is the elderly heckler still giving it to you all at events? He ended up next to me and a student at semistate about a decade ago and I never have seen anyone like it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposedly notorious in the mid 2000's to the point where he would get the coaches all riled up with his jeers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
