It was nice that they got Tom McCabe for the telescope scene. 2. The pirate's favorite announcer is probably Kevin Harrrrlan. 3. Does Athens have a Long John Silvers?

Pirates varied from the soldier/sailor type hired by the Queen Elizabeth I of England to help wage war against Spain, to ruthless outlaws with no direction but their own. Some pirates were actually pretty organized businessmen. Bartholomew Roberts, for example, didn’t drink. He had a whole fleet of ships. He was a really efficient planner and organizer. Another pirate, Henry Morgan, eventually became the Governor of Jamaica. At some points in time it was illegal to be a pirate, but at other points it wasn’t. Sir Francis Drake was paid by the Elizabeth I to plunder and pillage the Spanish and bring as many riches back to England as his fleet could carry. If you were an Englishman during the sixteenth century, you pretty much had a green light to do anything you wanted to the Spanish. I told the team how pirates had a workman’s comp deal, where if you lost your leg, you got a certain amount of additional treasure. Then, I told the team how similar football teams are to pirate crews, guys of all kinds of ethnicities coming from all corners of society, serving a gamut of roles onboard. I explained how the pirates viewed their swords the same way football players should view their bodies. “They took great pride in their swords, sharpening them just like players do their bodies by lifting the weights and doing all of the drills we do,” I said. The players said nothing. I swung this long sword through the air in front of them.

In all these years with Solich, no game with Nebraska?

Just sayin...

No sarcasm intended when I say that the cancelation might have benefited Akron. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top catfan28 General User Member Since: 6/11/2011 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 1,503 Status: Offline     RE: Week 1 MAC Schedule    Posted: 9/2/2018 11:46:50 AM  Pataskala wrote: Akron-Neb is cancelled because of the weather.
