You've got me 'eye-balling' them Princeron Tiger!!!

What makes it really impressive is that the Tigers were on a 29 game losing streak

I need a like button for the turnaround!!!

The Queen!

RIP, RESPECT no doubt!

My favorite song of hers was "Freeway Of Love/Pink Cadillac" BTW. Not enough musicians use the saxophone anymore.

Aretha had some serious pipes no doubt. She seemed kind, well informed, smart, & grounded too. It's a shame she's gone.

Same to you big guy!

Did you have fun PT?

Thanks PT! But, doesn't typing a response to your Labor Day post constitute effort & working my fingertips? Seems counterproductive on a Natl. Day Off. Only teasing buddy! Only teasing.

Happy Thanksgiving PT!

Same to you as well PT. What's your favorite part of the holiday? Family, football, or delicious pumpkin pie? Or perhaps some other tasty treat in November...

@SW1 I cant answer for him but I love everything about Thanksgiving. I ate enough Turkey, Ham, Mash Potatoes, and Mac N Cheese to feed the Colts O.Line LOL. Pumpkin Pie is my favorite! I had that too.

Girl you know it's true....OOOO OOO OOO...

Must add it was due to lip synching

And here I thought scratching records was a DJ dance club thing not a oops I'm a fraud thing...

My Pops was going on 3 years old!!!

Here comes Snoopy floating down the street now.

They are having to fly them low today....gusty winds...

He will be missed. We have lost a lot of people this year. @JPPT1974 used to create a thread with all those who have died in a year. I have not seen one this year.

Happy New Year, PT!

That will be up very soon my friend!

Betty White has died, according to reports. She too was a legend.

I just googled this since I don't live in Indiana PT. Whoa, it so sad to hear that 2 well respected softball teammates perished so suddenly with an impaired driver that hit them & tragedy resulted.

Losing a child in a senseless way is like no other pain in the world to a grieving mother, father, relative, or close friend. My sincerest condolences to both families & teammates who were tight with these 2 men.

@southwest1

   Taught both in school and went to school with their parents

@PrincetonTiger:

I can see why such devastating strikes so close to home in this case. As an educator of young minds & future adults, we all wanna witness their success in life down the road. We never wanna see that promising potential cut short far too early.

When a person has a direct connection to both parents as well, it cuts right through your heart & straight to the bone. Whenever no words can suffice in a situation such as one like this, all anyone can do is just hug them.

I wouldn't wish this level of agony on anyone. So sorry for your loss PT. Death notifications of upstanding students/close knit family members is the worst feeling in the world.

I never wanna tell anyone how to grieve. I am truly sorry to hear such melancholy news my friend.

Wow executed a 14 year old, how times have changed!now I have to look up his crime.

Oh my.......vacated in 2014 after judge ruled he was not given a fair trial.......so he was basically lynched, and the possible REAL murderer of the two girls remained free. Terrible.

Wow... What an awful story about George Stinney. Unfortunately convictions like that were very common back in those days. It is very sad to read.

In 2005, the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional to execute individuals under age 18. 

Is this status update a acknowledgement of the Grammies as a music celebration PT? I only ask because, if so, I never watch that particular show. It probably has something to do with the fact that light pop isn't my thing & I can't stand singer Taylor Swift who is not a good musician at all & she thinks she a white, Oprah Winfrey or something. 

Or is it Grandmother's special day? If so, cool & happy birthday! 

It would have been my Grandmother "GrammyRee's" 101 Birthday

Oh, okay. Thank you for clearing up this mystery. You sound like you were very close to your Grandmother PT. Sorry to hear that she is gone. My deepest sympathies. Yes, losing a person you were extremely close to is never easy. 

I'm happy for you PT. Congrats to your alma mater my friend

Way to go Lady Tigers!

Sorry about his passing PT. 50 years of sports broadcasting is quite impressive. Plus, he is a war veteran who was awarded a purple heart in 1952 for his brave service in Korea too. Did you know him personally or ever meet him in person PT? Again, my sincerest condolences on your loss my friend. Hang in there buddy.

Yes I know Richard personally

It is very difficult to see a person you know & respect pass on PT. I would have replied to your status update earlier, but I have been busy lately with other family related matters etc. etc. I hope that you have fond memories of Mr. Lankford that make you smile when you think about him BTW. I googled his name to learn more about him. Again, sorry to hear that you lost a friend you liked & looked up too PT.

Winter is coming again buddy!

Th TV guys are predicting 6 to 12 inches of snow for us over the weekend then negative lows and below freezing highs until Thursday.

I appreciate your concern for my safety & welfare PT. Thank you. About the only person I know who craves frigid temperatures & intense wind is Frosty The Snowman.

You cite this, but I noticed yesterday, you didn't post about the 150th of the Gettysburg address.. weird

I posted it for him fish...see if it shows on "all status Updates"

Seceding never succeeds. Jefferson Davis was too short sided to see that.

The troops loved him...general Lee out maneuvered him...

I did KP with him! Keep it coming PT, interesting stuff!

You need to be a history professor or teacher!

Good stuff PT!!!

Awesome fact!

Dropping some sweet historical knowledge in a status update. Nice!

Yes.

Mine too. Good trumps evil, no matter how hard evil tries. Lets just go to work not being afraid, that is the best way to face this, IMO.

Committing such a vile act on "Patriots Day" & the symbolism of the American Revolution demands a vigilant & thorough investigation & those responsible won't be able to lay low or hide for long.

1-0....

a great game Monday

An enjoyable game....some fantastic pitching!!! Loved it.

Chilly December evening......beautiful skies....

What makes it more interesting our coach(Princeton) is a MC alum and coach who was part of some memorable Golden Aces team and it is a Big 8 game

It is 26 here now...so a great evening for the game PT???

Interesting...had to look it up.

Robert Redford directed a really good movie chronicling this TV scandal in 1994.

You must have a very good motivator in your Tigers HC PT. I would also bet that he teaches good tackling fundamentals too.

It should have been 52-0..where's the defense?..lol j/k..grats to the Tigers

May the girls rest in peace. Many prayers for the families. I hope the culprit/culprits are caught soon and sentenced to death.

Yes PT I'm with you , While your at it there was a crash in Greene Co a van with 2 families , both wifes all the kids I think around 5 were all killed in a burning van why the fathers and police tried to rescue them , police had to hold the fathers back and both fathers were burnt severely , they were airlifted for burns. The emotional scars will be devastating . They need our prayers and thoughts.

Good job PT! 

You are the History Expert!

'1881- Clara Barton establishes the American Red Cross'.

It wasn't until I survived a tornado in 1984 that I gained an appreciation for the remarkable work that the Red Cross truly does. Food, clothing, shelter, & peace of mind after a disaster. 

A remarkable organization indeed. 

"Luke, I'm your father." 

Oh sure you are Vader, first you cut off my hand & then you drop this bombshell in my lap? 

Dead beat dad is more like it. You missed quite a few child support payments & instead of a hug; you chop of my hand? What did mom see in you other then thin skin, a huge ego, & court sanctioned anger management classes the rest of your life? LOL! 

Where is my like button?

Amen to that!
