Funny NCS forum comment

[graypony]

UNC & NCS play each other this weekend so the fun has already begun on their respective fan forums. A UNC fan wrote on the NCS board that it looked like NCS dodged a bullet last Saturday. A NCS fan replied Bullet? It was more like a morter shell. I predict a big victory to break the Warriors' 2 game winning streak in two weeks.

Status report on J.D.s leg requested.

Healing well, but very depressing to say we found out today, probably our for the year. We had hoped that he would be back by UTEP, but it was just a bad break, in more ways than one. Very discouraging, but he'll make it. He still has 2 years of eligibility left and we just thankful that one of us is not one of those poor souls in NYC holding up a picture of one of my missing family members.

My apologies graypony for my earlier post...I should have remembered that you're J.D.'s dad and not Billy's. Also sorry to hear that it's not looking good for his return this year. He has had the worst luck with injuries I've seen for one of our players. Hope everything heals well and soon.

Thanks, PK. He'll be back. Maybe he can get a 6th year like Flannigan. He, and his teammates, were encouraged by their performance last Saturday. I think that they realize football can really become fun again if they can start something special at SMU. One of these days that is going to happen to this FB program and when it does, we will be wishing Saturday was here by noon on Tuesday.

Don't I remember correctly that Trey Bandy was denied a 6th year when he petitioned for it?

[PK]

91stang: You are correct. I'm not sure what all of the specifics were with Trey's case. Flanigan was taken out on, almost if not, the very first play of the season and we were able to get him a sixth year. J.D. did not even make it to a game this year, so there is hope that he would qualify for another year of eligibility for medical reasons.

Trey did not step on the field either, as he was injured during two-a-days. I wish JD the best of luck in getting that sixth year, although it will be an uphill battle.
