VALENTINE'S DAY 5K FEB 11TH 2012

[David Gaston]

I would think folks would enjoy a race with a unique format of splitting up genders and age groups. Most races are done exactly the same. Nice idea Tom for keeping this race unique and interesting.

There maybe an exception or 2...but only if you scored in the overall in the grand prix....that puts most of us out......However, I wonder which section will win or be faster.....Masters or Open in both sexes.....now we need Mills and the betting to begin.....lol

SO DECTIVE STABLER it is not just me in a min there I was thinking I was going to get hang

I cant find the best of these that be better fit

[sidewinder]

WTF!!!!.....

[Black Stallion]

It just occoured to me why someone ask me who is STABLER as if you did not know short stuff STABLER as in Elliot Stabler on LAW & Order SVU But i guess that is a little over your head and wonder why

[MWitt]

Still have no idea what you are talking about. I never have watched that show.......but I remember a Kenny Stabler.

Stabler's backup was the kicker named Geroge Blanda who was one of the last straight-on kickers and who played until he was almost 50. Stabler threw to a guy named Blitnekoff (sp) who put so much stick-em on his hands that the NFL eventually had to out law the practice. Plus Blitnekoff wore an old box-style helment that was different from the rest of the team. Ah yes - the good ole days.

Was Blanda still around back then?? I remember him coming in to relieve Daryl Lamonica back in the 70's. If he played with Stabler it wasn't long..

[Mac]

Ahhh, I remember those days....Damn we're old!

[paulward]

I remember all those guys too, but I think it wasn't Fred Bilitnikof who used the "stick-em". A later Raiders defensive back, Lester Hays, was noted for his heavy use of "stick-em" that helped him make several interceptions.
Blanda was a starter as QB for years and did the kicking. When he got older, he was a backup QB and the regular kicker. I remember one game where Oakland had a huge lead and Blanda entered as QB near the end. He was in his 40s at the time and still he threw a TD pass. An ageless wonder.

That was back when Dsmack was kicking for UCA!

I may have erred. It may have been Lamonica that Blanda backed up. I know he was close to 50 when he finally retired. I also remember the old Tank McNamara comic strip that had a character that was obviously based on Blanda. Good stuff if you are old enough to remember.

As for Lester Hayes, he may have used the stick em also but I seem to remember Blitenkoff having gobs of the stuff on his socks on the inside of both legs. Couldn't have dropped a ball in a hurricane (or a Clydesdale/Sidewinder "coaching" session)

[Black Stallion]

As someone once said I love it when a plan comes togther how one simple name can change a entire format I beleve OAKLAND had a GOOD QB NAME ..... Puckett notice OAKLAND IS CAP any one of you yahoos like to guess why or do you need DECTIVE MUNCH to tell you

As someone pointed out to me last fall, I may have been the last straight-on kicker for the Bears.

[Clydesdale]

Bad New's Bears I preseume?
