New Yorkers are Smarter Than the Rest of the World

Mike Vaccaro, Sportswriter, New York Post:

" But I am also certain that, relatively speaking, we are as sane, as sensible, as reasonable, and as rational, as any sports fan in the world. And that is because, as a people, we in New York look at a soccer ball and see a sleeping pill. We see a soccer game invade our television screen and will pull a hamstring lunging for the remote to change the channel. "

SOMEONE disagrees with Mike Vaccaro. 

If looks could kill, SOMEBODY would be dead.

I asked Samantha what the difference was playing versus boys (compared to the all-girl all star games). She thought about it....looked at the field for a while....and said, "They're shorter."

CHAMPIONS

Congratualtions to the 1st and 2nd grade co-ed all-stars for taking FIRST PLACE in the Cape Girardeau Tournament. They beat the home team 1-0 in the last game. The goal was scored by Garrett Nadeau. Jacob Brush was awarded the Spirit Award by coach Jennifer Nadeau for soccer above and beyond the call of duty.

If you have a picture of the team, send it to me at jope@cba.siu.edu!

Can you find the athlete who has not been accused of taking steroids? Is it Barry Bonds?

The truth about Stonehenge.

Travis Smith (5th and 6th Coed). Maybe next year we can buy everyone matching headbands.

Twins in action!

The Pineau sisters in action!

OK, they aren't really twins. That's Bayli Denny on the right. But these two remind me of the of two running backs SIUC had a couple of years ago who were nicknamed "Thunder and Lightning".

Junion High Team

The Marion Whirlwind Champion 7th and 8th Grade team:

Top row from left to right.

Dylan Noble, Kieler Dillman, Dane Mull, Shawn Stone, Mike Manus, Juan Areola, Nate Rowland, Alan Whitehead, Abbey Cohen, Zac Boomer , and the Coach Mark Boomer

bottom row.

Joey Flamm, Dusty Whiteside, Jake Basler, Seth Echols, Jocob Brimm, Steven Cohen, and Lance Dixon

I believe they finished the season undefeated (only because their game with Harvel Disposal was rained out).

More Twins!

Oh, right! TWINS!

Twins?

What the???

1st and 2nd Grade All-Stars

After a tough head-to-head competition, a bench clearing brawl between the 1st and 2nd grade Orange and Blue teams broke out.Luckily, they paused long enough to pose for a photo before continuing.

The brawl spilled over into the playground ...
