Me: No! We are doing it again!! Ahhh!
6-year-old son: Liberty is still up by one point. We could still win.
Me: Son, you don't understand. This is Liberty. It is sad, but this is kind of how it always ends for us.
Son: You never know! I bet they can still win. Maybe the kicker stinks or something.
Me: I'm not that lucky....
[blocked kick, we both run around the living room for 2 minutes, screaming like idiots]
Me: Sorry for being so negative.

The best part (this is not made up, I promise!)- He took a sip of his cherry Kool Aid and said "I think Liberty is awesome."

Can we also have a new category? The Captain Obvious Award. This outstanding awRd goes to the poster who makes the most obvious claim while thinking it is ground breaking. I E. All we have to do to win is score more points than them. Sarcastic posts are ineligible

I have several nominees in mind

I nominate the above post for a new award: "The Pot Calling the Kettle Award", presented by BEEJ.

And I'm not nominated for ANYTHING. I don't know whether to feel happy or saddened by that.....

Sorry that I kind of let this go. My life has been slammed for the past few weeks. This post may be a rare sighting of me for a while.

BJ, HOW do you plan to do this when most of us haven't even met each other? Are we supposed to have some sort of FF olympics? If I end up with Lang on my football team, I'm NOT throwing him the ball. So, this whole thing will be biased anyways. Also, I'm all up for swimming but watching a bunch of guys do it so that one can claim to be the best swimmer on a message board is not high on my priority list. Also, wouldn't we then know for sure that you and JakeP50 are the same? That doesn't sound like a wise strategy on your part since most of us are starting to refer to you two as BJakewilliams50...

BAD IDEA.

Not sure if you're joking or not. Assuming you're serious, BeeJay is talking about outstanding Liberty athletes, not the athletic abilities of our fellow posters.
