Volleyball opens with two 3-0 sweeps!!

[Falconfreak90]

The Falcons opened the 2011 season today at the Kristen Dickmann Invitational hosted by the US Naval Academy. BG swept Air Force and Navy by 3-0 counts. Granted Air Force and Navy were not very good last year but we'll take any wins we can get after last yr. Coach Van De Walle's final season is off to a great start.

The competition gets much tougher with BG taking on St John's and Iona tomorrow.

GO FALCONS!!!!!

Actually due to the hurricane those matches have been canceled, so the volleyballers will take a 2-0 record down to Tampa next weekend for the USF tourney

Glad they are off to such a strong start.

This being Coach V's last season is bumming me out. I fear that the athletic department isn't going to give her the farewell tour she so greatly deserves.

And Volleyball stays perfect on the year with wins over Eastern KY and Bethune-Cookman at the USF Volleyball Invitational in Tampa. The Falcons will play Maryland-Eastern Shore and host USF Saturday looking to win their second straight tourney.

GO BG!

VBallers go to 6-0 on the year. Best start in 12 years. I believe the home opener at the Stroh is Friday.

With more than a one year contract, we probably wouldn't have needed a farwell tour! Gee what a suprise.......another longtime coach leaving under this administration.

[VDub26Falcon]

She's retiring. They aren't trying to get rid of her. For someone with the moniker "factman" you sure do need to get some things straight.

[gmartin]

And I don't know how old Factman is but Denise may have been the only volleyball coach BG has had I. Factman's existence.

Factman is ooooooooooolllllllllldddddddddddddddddd

Factman... had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
Factman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."
Factman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet.
I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"


Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Factman, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"
Factman says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
"Really!? Like a new born baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."



An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and Factman said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... The one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied Factman. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"


Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found Factman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."


Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, Factman gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks. "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream ?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it.."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, Factman returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
"Where's my toast?"


Another senior citizen said to Factman:
"So I hear you're getting married?"
"Yep!"
"Do I know her?"
"Nope!"
"This woman, is she good looking?"
"Not really."
"Is she a good cook?"
"Naw, she can't cook too well."
"Does she have lots of money?"
"Nope! Poor as a church mouse."
"Well, then, is she good in bed?"
"I don't know."
"Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"
"Because she can still drive!"


Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"
Factman says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."


Factman was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor . "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."

Factman went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Factman walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Factman and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
factman replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"
The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful."

One more. . !

Factman shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"
"No," he replied, "Arthritis."

[factman]
