What also seems to be forgotten is the probability of Jai Lucas solving the point guard problems.

That is exactly where I live. Unfortunately, my house is easily noticable, as half of a large tree is leaning against it.

Have you heard Dustin Kensrue's solo cd? It is only 7 songs I believe, and kind of country, but I love it. Thrice is a band I really enjoy, and their live show is outstanding if you ever get a chance to see them. Although I do like many different types of music, I was suprised how much I enjoyed "Please Come Home." I would actually challenge Jim Schue to give the cd a try. I'm not sure if he would like Thrice, but I think a lot of people could get into his solo work.

It seemed like Luke Recker was in college basketball for about 10 years, with I believe 3 different schools.

My Freshman year of high school I road in the backseat of a Mustang to Columbus with a buddy, his brother, and his brother's friend for our floor tickets to see Saves the Day, Green Day, and Blink 182.

FWIW, I was at batting practice once when Danny Graves played for the Reds. He signed my hat and made small talk, asking if I played and so on which made my day and forever altered my opinion of him. It's amazing that I can remember just about every ball player I met, or ignored me when I was younger. I often wonder if players realize how much of an effect a smile and a few words have when they see little kids. I'm sure it gets annoying day in and day out, but I'd like to assume that I would be considered a friendly baseball player if ever in the situation.

I had never heard of the Reverend before, but saw them open for Flogging Molly a couple months back. I think the majority of the crowd was in the same situation as me, but by the end of their set the entire audience was yelling and clapping along For anyone who wants to check them out, the Reverend sings and plays an old acoustic guitar with a slide. His brother is on the drums with a 5-gallon bucket, and his wife plays a washboard. Definately not a sound I usually listen to, but after seeing them, I immediately picked up a cd.

I got to know Frankie my freshman year of college. I think I could go years without seeing or hearing of him and never forget his name.

A little more on Nuxy

Very nice tribute BF. I saw this on tv when I got home from class today, and was at a loss for words for a few minutes. Like many in this thread, I am one of those kids who grew up as a third generation listener of Marty and Joe. Many great memories have occured in the summer with this two of them as background noise. If any of you get a chance to read Joe's book, I highly reccommend it. I gave it to my dad for Christmas one year then read it when he was finished. The similarities between Nuxy and my grandfather are uncanny. I know Joe was sick and he is now in a better place, however this is a sad day as a fan of the Reds and as a fan of baseball

I believe it.

The light is very clear from the AA IMO, and I don't like to single out truck drivers, but I see them run it all the time. The light is by a hill, so many times they don't want to brake when going down the hill, or as they are gaining speed don't want to stop then start again. I know everyone has similar stories for any road, but I distinctly remember one time I was a passenger with my father stopped at a red light to cross the AA. For some reason we were too interested in a conversation to notice that the light had changed green. By the time we noticed my dad checked both ways to be sure and a semi was speeding across the intersection. By the time the truck had cleared the light had already turned red again. As well as worrying about any vehicle running the red light, Poplar Ridge coming down toward the AA comes at a bend, so you can see if you have a green light, but unless you slow down to basically a stop, you can't tell if a car is approaching the light fast at all. Added to the fact that it is a quick light so many drivers don't slow down when approaching a red light, it is a dangerous intersection.

Thanks
