Anyone know the status of Byron Bitz?
Who sits when he returns?
Pegoraro? McCutcheon? Varteressian?

anyone? ::help::

He was still limping noticeably this weekend, but at least is off crutches. If someone had any real information, I'm sure they would have posted it.

To speak in Jerseygirl code:

A friend of mine had lunch with "the best beer to have" the other day. He mentioned that he figured that a 19th century poet might be having some sort of a revivial in about a week. He also mentioned that he was quite pleased with the play of a certain diminuative man from Britain.

You are quite good at this. She should be flattered.

A thing of beauty, BCrespi, a thing of beauty.

Sweet!
Thanx! ::nut::

Meanwhile, a minor Massachusetts clergyman, dead since 1638, still sucks.

That last one took me a while (I knew who you meant but I couldn't figure out why). For those still struggling (probably noone), he is from the north of Britain.

For those who need a clue and go down the roster, two-thirds the team sounds as if hails from the UK. Not many Fumios or Ugolinis left.

Well in size and spirit, Ryan Vesce and now perhaps Topher Scott fit the mold. Let's hope they crack the books a bit more than Fumio. Imagine how great Ugolini would have been if he'd actually gotten along with Dick Bertrand -- and he was pretty darn good with what, 69 points his last year, 1973.

"Notes: Schafer said that sophomore Byron Bitz, who has been recovering from a broken heel, is still two or three weeks away from playing and will not be in the lineup this weekend."

Oh well, so much for lunch-dates with the coach. I suppose I'll have to be more discriminating on my info from now on...

CowbellGuy · November 06, 2004, 01:36:10 AM

Well, he's not limping any more :-)
