I was on the news

[LiL stumppy]

Just was on the news for a weight lifting thing the football team did today. Springfield 33 if anyone cares. Got interviewed and they showed it.



Thats all, proceed with your daily doings.

and no, I wasn't one of the special needs kids. :)

Approximately .002% of Planeteers get that station. You'll have to tell us about it.

[LiL stumppy]

We did a thing where we lifted for special need students in the area. And afterwards they interviewed me about it, and then asked how our football team would be next year. It was cool.

[El Jefe]

Sweet man, thats always a cool thing. When I was a senior in High School (05) I was doing pretty well in basketball and scored 26 points against a rival and the biggest TV Station in Ohio 10TV was there.They showed a recap of the game and it was like a mini-highlight for me, my dad ended up buying a copy of the tape from 10TV and gave it to me later as a gift, it was pretty cool.

[LiL stumppy]

LOL mine wasn't that cool, but it really was cool seeing a bunch of special needs kids happy :)

[KcMizzou]

Way off topic here, but speaking of Springfield...

There was an MMA fighter from Springfield MO on HDNet Fights last night. I can't remember his name, but he was a pretty big underdog, and looked to be physically over-matched.

He was a hell of a wrestler, though. Ended up gutting out a unanimous decision.

[LiL stumppy]

Was his last name Cook?

[KcMizzou]

Was his last name Cook?No, don't think so...

I believe it was this guy, Matt Veach. It says he's from St. Louis here, but I'm certain they said he was from Springfield on the show.

[LiL stumppy]

Hm, never heard of him.

[Skip Towne]

You must not be doing your job very well.

Heh, that's a local Springfield station. Only folks in that DMA get it from Directv.

[smittysbar]

Congrats man

[LocoChiefsFan]

Excuse my ignorance. Are you the D coordinator or the student they interviewed?

[LiL stumppy]

Student

[stumppy]

I watched it, nice job.
You managed to pull off the goofy headband thing without looking...well, you know.

[stumppy]

HEY....why aren't you at work ?

[blueballs]

busted

[LiL stumppy]

Boss wasn't there

[Mr. Flopnuts]

That's cool dude. Good for you guys for stepping up and giving back to the community.

[Thig Lyfe]

Lifted "for" them? Like, put on a weightlifting show?

[ClevelandBronco]

Student

Good stuff. Your defensive coordinator must have a big heart.

There's a local high school baseball team here (the Littleton Lions) that shows up in uniform in July to help with a baseball camp for deaf and hard of hearing kids.

The kids are thrilled, the young men on that high school team are admirable and their coach, Galen Graf (who helps to coordinate the FREE camp for these kids) is a blessing to every life he touches.

BTW: The association that sponsors the camps is SERTOMA. (Yeah, it sounds like a form of cancer, but the name is shorthand for SERvice TO MAnkind.) The story that I've heard says that Lou Brock, a member of SERTOMA started the camps and they've spread from that beginning.

Great way to pay some of your talent back, LiL stumppy.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Great way to pay some of your talent back, LiL stumppy.

But why should he have to put in more than fat, lazy, poor people Mr. Bronco? It's just not fair. I support a flat service for everyone who is contributing to others needs.

I celebrate anyone who volunteers to give.

Being ordered to give while under the threat of incarceration doesn't compel admiration from anyone.

(And no, my sarcasm meter isn't broken in this case.)

is that the main gym at the new HS?
when they first started a weight program at willard my freshman year they drug all the old rusty equipment from the old stadium locker room painted it blue had the vo tech guys build some racks and shoved it all down in the old girls gym.

very cool way to get the student athletes involved in the community. how long has the coach been there?
All the money ive paid in property tax are you guys gonna go above .500 anytime soon?

[tmax63]

You mean you weren't the guy they interviewed that said "it sounded just like a big ole train and then a holstein come flying by and ...." with the Deliverance smile. lol, just kidding. good job.

[Bob Dole]

It was nice of the local kids to life weights to raise money for you and your friends.

Yea, it's really nice. Our new weight room is very nice too, it's about twice the size of our old one. Coach Wick has been a coach her fore a while, not sure exactly how many years. But a head coach for 4 years.


And yes, we will be in the hunt this year. Also, we went 6-4 last year. So we're doing better lol.
