Nice article. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This site is awesome. Thanks for keeping it private. Someone mentioned a good time to kindly suggest donation, but I would suggest we bring it up right before the Minnesota game as traffic picks up. But please post the information that was posted last year. Jimmy V Foundation I recall was a request of Grant too.

Actually... I'm going to ask that people hold off on donations directly to me for now. I'm OK for the time being for paying the bills... and I'll have more info as we get closer to football season regarding the financial aspect of running the site.

If you ARE feeling compelled to make a donation though, www.jimmyv.org or www.naionalmssociety.org are the places to go!

Thanks!

Just kidding. I fine if you just want to pass through my donation to either organization.

Grant, I would be an OSU fan or a non college sports fan without this website. This is my only tie to BG athletics. Thanks, you do a great job. And thanks for not selling it.

What can we do in terms of clicking on adds to help? I cant give right now but I can certainly give something small like that.

Grant - As I posted in the b-ball forum, thank you for AZZ! Without it, I'd be lost out here in (ugh :roll: ) Pac-10 Country.

You're fine... and I appreciate the donation. Don't get me wrong! There are just going to be some changes in the next few months and it will be easier to make and easier for me to receive the donations after that. Sorry to be vague, but I'll have more details before long.

And no, you can't have it back, I already spent it! ;-) lol

That should be "polices" as referring to the way we police each other on grammar, rumor and spelling. I don't think the article, or you, were talking about some kind of policy, which would result in policies. :wink:
The typo that I noticed was this: "FalconFanatic." Of course, we all know it should be Falcon Fanatic!! :-D

Seriously, though, I missed this post while I was at a conference in Nashville! I was stacking up newspapers to take to the recycler and saw the AZZ article!! Very well done, Grant!!!!! Your father would be so proud!!!!

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

I don't think it was a typo at all.
