I will try and get it included on this $700 billion dollar package being talked about.


BTW where are the away games?

[gym from delhi]

The away games are at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO, and SIU-Edwardsville. The first game is Oct 11, while I'd have to check the other on the Club Football website. The Website is pretty cool as it has X's all-time records and other stats. I still remember fondly Williams -to-Abramowicz on the 8-2 1965 team. If the 8-2 Notre Dame team of that year had had those two guys, I believe that they'd have been undefeated.
