Our QB is a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy which is the D2 Heisman, but we have a lot of no name guys that just play hard. From 7th in the conference poll to one of the last 4 teams left in the country.

I'll say this, if we pull this off it would be one of the biggest upsets in the history of college football. We are truly underdogs on a historic scale. Our entire school is 1,500 students. We've never made it this far before.

I'm not counting us out, but we are truly David going up against Goliath. I just don't know how many stones we have left.

Ferris State = NDSU
Newberry College = JMU

NDSU lost at home last week to unseeded Illinois State so that gives me hope.

We have worse odds than JMU does against Oregon.

A running joke from when NDSU beat down JMU every year and made Glen sad.

What can a school named after a 5'4 dude expect?

They make it sound like a deal when you're likely paying more up front and getting less back than if you just went to a gas station that doesn't participate...

This seems to make sense. I usually buy at the Kroger by our house as we always have at least a 20 cent discount but I definitely see what you’re saying as their gas is usually 10 cents or more higher than the other 4 in town.

I did some more research into the stuff we have to move to an unknown location. We have 98 brand new softball/baseball bats. Most have all the current stamps on them. Probably double that in used bats. We don't provide equipment anymore to baseball/softball teams. If they say to just throw it out, I'm going to Play It Again Sports and get whatever I can for it.

they may be a kid in king george who needs new equipment, and his father will pay top dollar

If the leaked outdoor game Tampa Bay Lightning jerseys are indeed true. What a swing and miss.

I'm just waiting on the word to take it all. My brother has a building to store it in. We'll sell it all and split the money. Batting helmets, catcher's gear, balls, bats, we'll become equipment suppliers.

The infusion was mostly straightforward. She tried jabbing my right arm, but the vein moved and the pain during the job was massive. She then went to my left arm, which we normally use. There was a nominal amount of pain but the needle found the vein with no problem. She tried to tell me that the skin on your dominant arm is usually thicker and tougher than the skin on the other arm. I had to remind her that I am left-handed.

Yesterday was the 5th Anniversary on my mis-diagnosis of my cancer.
I KNEW I had cancer but found out 5 years ago, incorrectly, that it was Stage 2.
I was told I needed my bladder removed and have a new bladder created from intestines.
Luckily for me, they don't do the surgery here in Cape Cod and I reached out to a friend I have known all her live as her mom and my mom were high school friends.
She is a Doctor who was working at Mass General at the time and I asked if she could give me a name of an urologist she could refer me to.
She gave me the name of Dr Adam Feldman, who a few weeks later told me he believed my cancer was Stage 1.
If you were around when this happened you would have seen me comment that the cancer didn;t worry me because it was treatable, though it was aggressive and invasive.
When I found out it was Stage 1 I was even more comfortable.
5 years later I am still here. I don't have blinders on. Though I am cancer free it will not shock me if it comes back. If it does we will defeat it again.
I humbly thank you for all your support these last 5 years.

It explains that left-handed people are the only ones that are in our right minds.
