Bad News for the Bloggers: Etown vs PSU-Altoona Postponed

Since the boys game with PSU-Altoona got cancelled, I thought this would be an ideal time for the "news and notes" portion of this blog.

As for the game itself, the powers to be have not selected an official date and time to reschedule, but I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.

Secondly, speaking of the powers to be, Etownian sports editor Alex Cole had FANTASTIC article this week regarding our kill-joy athletic director, Nancy Latimore. Here’s the link to the article:

I could honestly fill up at least two posts speaking my mind on this matter, but I don’t feel that’s necessary. I simply feel that if the Athletic Department Regime continues to prevent the fans from "experiencing the game", it will have a negative affect on recruiting and the future of Etown sports. Let’s be honest when potential athletes come up for visits and they see the heart and spirt of the Etown faithful on a Saturday afternoon or evening, they instantly want to be a part of that atmosphere. I just encourage the Hill Monsters to "stand strong" and keep bleeding royal blue and white(ironic, because our school colors are navy blue and gray, but that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms).

Next on the agenda is my beef with sophomore Wes Bunting. Now I have always been a strong supporter of Wes Man Tooth...I even wear my Bunting throwback to away games, but in my most recent Etownian article, Wesley had some serious issues with my word choice :

"A final highlight over the weekend for the Jays was the overall play of Bunting. The YOUNGSTER raked in Defensive MVP honors for the tournament, by making several goal-saving tackles, and even scoring a goal Saturday."

Wes chose to ignore my praises of his performance and the note of his accolades, rather focusing on my non-significant youthful description. I merely was trying to help the young lad, by pointing out his "boyish good looks."

Wes, however, was not keen with my generous efforts. Apparently Wes had been fuming over this horribly inacurate description all day, stating the "he was a Sophomore darnit, not a "youngster." His unharnessed rage and furry finally boiled to a head later in the evening at the Jays Nest when he lashed out at me with a verbal and physical onslaught that ended with curly fries being used for purposes they were not intended for.

Ok Wes have it your way...I have no choice but to reveal your deepest darkest secret: You are actually a member of the feline family. I bet you thought you could sneak this one by me...by oh no young Bunting, this is precisely why you don’t screw with members of the media...we have the tools and resources to dig up the deepest of skeletons. Through extensive research, I actually have photographic evidence of Wes and one of his close relatives....

Above is a picture of Wesley Bunting, and below is his dearest relative Mufasa Bunting.

Yes, Wes Bunting is actually a LION!!!!

I know, I know...I was just as shocked as you are. The clues were there all along though...his ungroomed mane, his fierce tackles out on the field, and his primal death growls that can be heard all over the pitch....I'm sorry Wes, but you gave me no choice.

In non-fictional news, the Blue Jays travel to Susquehanna Wednesday September 20th to take on the Crusaders in a 7:00 pm showdown. I'll give a better preview as the game nears, but seeing as 'hanna has NEVER beaten the Blue Jays, I guarantee they will come out firing.
