I would imagine it speaks volume about his ability to get under the ball, catch it cleanly, and not flinch in the face of getting hit hard. Similar to Golden in his later years after his injury, he was back there to make sure we didn't have any screw ups.
It's because it's THEIR home game not ours, we don't just drive up on other teams fields, so it's really no different except it's played at a different location. They want it to be just like a home game to them and if they allow us to bring the wreck on the field it takes away from them. Now I doubt we would do that, but I do see where they are coming from if what I posted is the reason.
I get that they have the right to nix the Wreck for this game, but I'm kind of surprised the Irish football folks didn't try to persuade them to allow it. How cool would it be for the local fans and those making the long trip...would have been a nice little bonus for everyone.
What do you mean by they "wouldn't let us bring the Wreck"? Why does BC have any say-so in that matter?
Just because we can't drive it on the field, shouldn't mean we shouldn't take it. It can still be at the pep rally and other venues. They can object to it being "on the field," but can they object to it being on the sideline or in some prominent place?
this is a joke, right?
Ah, maybe it's just the price of gas. But were it me and I thought I could get under an opponent's skin and make him think about something other than beating me, doggone right. I would ban car, cheerleaders, band, dean, several coaches and trainers, right up to the head ball coach.
