I agree -- see I told you I could not phonetically spell -- not sure why I even tried.

Wapakoneta Rules!

I orginally hail from Wapakoneta as well. Schad, your pronunciation looks solid. Most people in town just call it Wapak - pronounced Wau-pauk.

Most of our high school teams have just "Wapak" on their jerseys, presumably to save on silk-screening so many letters.

You're absolutely right.....I can't believe I forgot that. Let's play Michigan instead. They owe us a game anyways since we're playing them in the Big House next year. :roll:

This is my dream. I would donate a large portion of my salary over the next 5 years if the powers that be could talk the Ohio State Chickens into a game at the Doyt. Find out how much money it would cost us and let's get it done.
Supposedly, we already have Ohio State on the 2010 schedule... at their place.

And I pronounce it "Wa pa kuh NET uh."

Like you said we play at T-OSU in 2010. Maybe we could schedule Urbie and the Gators, or OKlahoma or Alabama. After all some of these schools do owe us a return home game.

Speaking of the Gators. Urban's coming to UK on Sept. 24th. I may just have to go to this game with all of my BG stuff on.

I see how Miami OH gets Cincinnati next year, CMU has Indiana.. when is it our turn to have a bigger school at home? (temple doesn't count!)
yeah, we get cincy at yager next year, but it's a rivalry game. we play them every year, alternating venues. we lead the all time series something like 58-43. we pretty much hate them, but their move to the big east will help us with having a bcs school at yager every other year - if you really want to include the big east in the bcs.

Xavier also really hates Cincy. I thought it was funny a couple years ago when you brought in Xavier students to root against the Bearcats.

I don't. Last season portends the future -- and the future will be laughing at the Big East.

Everyone should be included in the BCS, even the Big East.
