2009 Banter

I’m curious with regard to our turnout this year. I received word some time ago from The Stroke that he and his gang will not be able to make the TB this year. I talked to Matt on Monday and he confirmed that he and his boys will be playing. With that, it would appear that the players will include :

First generation : me, Deek, Blaine, Matt, Jeff

Second generation : Corben, Mitch, Doug, Clayton, Taylor and Tanner

I’ve contacted Jay and Paul but they are not confirmed.

Has anybody talked to Andy or Tyler? Does anyone know of any other possible participants this year?

My last sighting of Ole Ichabod was at Ryan’s Steakhouse on 21st St near Garnett. He was working there as Ass. Manager.

According to a quick check on PeopleFinders, he has addresses listed in Tulsa, Odessa, TX and Colorado Springs. Couldn’t find him in a quick Facebook search.

Kenny seems to have kept good track of him, perhaps he knows.

I plan to have Chan beat the crap out of me before the game, just to get primed and ready. I had a chair made from an old trumpet case sent to his house with a picture of me laughing glued to the back. I sawed 90% through one of the legs so he can recreate that legendary moment in the hallway outside the Skelly band room. Waaaaaaaaattt!!!!!

Less than a week away and instead of increasing in intensity, the talk has withered and died on the vine. All I can say now is:

Jeff, be in top condition, ace reporter and photo-journalist Joe Dutton may be there to capture your usual stellar if not down right acrobatic performance on the field (cough).
Dick, stretch those shoulder muscles good, you never know when the situation may call for the buffalo hump to emerge.
Blaine, we’ll have medics on stand-by.
Brad, I hope that the plumbing issues are minimal and easily addressed.
Kenny, we’ll miss your strong, prevalent and consistent presence on the field, and I’m not just talking about the odiferous vapors.
Matt, we play football. Matt play football. Football good. Matt eat after play football. Eat turkey. Mmmmmmm turkey good.
