TOP 10 of My Funniest Movies of ALL TIME (#2 and #1
Well here it is everyone. I'm just listing my top 10 of the FUNNIEST MOVIES I have ever seen. This is according to me though. I listed some pretty good ones so far in the last posts with some clips.
10.) Billy Madison
9). Blazing Saddles
8.) Wedding Crashers
7.) Naked Gun
6.) Superbad
5.) CaddyShack
T3.) National Lampon's Animal House
T3.) Old School
Those are some funny movies. Now what in my mind could be better than those 8 I listed? Well here they are
2.) The Hangover (2009)
It's a very close # 2 I might add. Many of you know the plot. Four Friends head to Vegas from L.A. for the night to celebrate one of them getting married 2 days later, the next morning 3 of them wakeup having no idea what happened the night before except for their hotel room in scambles, and the groom missing. Now they have to hillariously retrace their steps in order to find him. The plot, characters, and dialouge was absolutely perfect for this comedy. You couldn't help but laugh at the main three for the trouble they get into to find their friend. Almost every scene is funny it's hard to list one scene or show a video on here of one. I'll just let you hear the two hillarious songs from that movie.
Can't wait to watch The Hangover Part II tomorrow.
Now your thinking what movie did I think can top The Hangover to be # 1. Well here is to me THE MOST FUNNIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!
drum roll (...........................................................................
1.) Dumb and Dumber (1994)
I know pretty much almost every single line spoken in that movie it is sickening!!! This was Jim Carrey at his finest!!! Jeff Daniels did a great job going into a comedic role since he was used to more drama movies. It couldn;t have been more perfect. It's pretty much about these two stupid friends who can barely hold jobs go cross country to Aspen, Colorado (not California like Lloyd in the movie thinks) to return a briefcase to a woman Lloyd met and becomes love sick over. They get into all sorts of funny mishaps along the way and there to like getting involved with the kidnappers of the movie all while being themselves which they are stupid. Here are some of my favorite quotes taken from the movie
It's hard to pinpoint one scene to like but here's describing how dumb the main characters are.
LOL!!! That's doesn't happen every day. I seen this movie 3 times in the theater and got the regular version and the unrated both on DVD. The Prequel to it Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd is NOT worth watching it doesn't do justice to the comedy of the first one.
Well that's my list if you disagree with me. Give me your top 5 or top 10 funniest and lets compare. But, I'm pumped going to watch The Hangover Part II. Not expecting anything highly but hope it's hillarious. I'm D-Money

Well, I gave you guys 10-6 of my most funniest movies I've ever seen now here is the top 5. The CREAM of THE CROP if you will
5.) Caddyshack (1980)
This Movie is pretty much about a young teenage caddy wanting to get the caddy schlorship at a prestigeous golf club, but the plot is very minor compared to the quotes, favorite scenes and characters in this movie.
You have Rodney Dangerfield annoy the hell out of Ted Knight's Character.
Chevy Chase being a ladies man
and Bill Murray going after a gopher
These next two movies are tied for 3rd since they are about almost the same.
Tied 3.) National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
-Landmark Comedy starring John Belushi set in the early 1960's about a renegade Frat House, The Deltas, who love to party and cause trouble which doesn't sit too well with the evil dean of the college. You have to watch it for yourself. Too many good scenes. But here's a video
Tied 3.) Old School (2003)
About these guys in there 30's wanting to relive their glory years and start their own non college related fraternity on campus. This movie made Will Ferrell a star. I want this band to play at my wedding if I get married.
5.) Caddyshack (1980)

Honorable Mention First: Tommy Boy & Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgandy.
10) Billy Madison (1995)
-Yep, this was Adam Sandler's first major movie. About a guy in his 20's who goes back to school from 1st grade up to Senior in High School taking each grade for 2 weeks in order to earn his dad's hotel fortune. Had some very funny quotes in it. Couldn't find the scene I liked but here is the Dog Poop scene!!
9.) Blazing Saddles (1974)
8.) Wedding Crashers (2005)
This one is great. You pretty much know the plot since it was about two guys who love to crash weddings but end of falling for a couple of bridemaids at a Senator's wedding with hilarious results.
7.) The Naked Gun: Files from the Police Squad (1988)
6) Superbad (2007)
About a couple of guys who try to get booze to a party so they can get with these girls they have crushes on trying to avoid trouble and dumb cops on the way. This scene pretty much describes the whole movie.
Those are just 10-6. My top 5 will be tomorrow.
Contentment
Today I just wanted to talk a little bit briefly of what I learned over the past weekend, which ties a little bit into the sermon I heard on Sunday evening to conclude the weekend. It was all about contentment and how to be happy in life with what you have. The verse that was spoken was in Phillipians 4: 10-13. It says
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
The Apostle Paul lived pretty rough throughout his ministry, being throw in jail, being outcast by higher society of the time, shipwrecked, and evently he met his end in Rome. However, in his letter to the church in Phillipians , he tells the church that despite his hardships over the years he has found peace in Jesus and spreading his word, healing, and building the church made him feel content with what he was doing with his ministry despite how others who were in the upper class of the time might think or perceive of him.
Now, it got me thinking. I don't think we as a society don't stop to think of how content or thankful we may be. We live in a society that pressures as to think that being extremely successful is great and it is good to have more. Yes, working towards success whenever it may be in your job, a sport, or other talents is good and I encourage everyone to work hard towards there goals, but sometimes we giving only a little bit and tend to get to caught up in what we have achieved and attend to want more that is very easy to forget or accepiate the gifts of what you have.
I tend to fall under this as much as everyone. In running I always try to look for ways to become faster. Yet, I know that I am only limited to my talents that are given to me, plus I'm getting older year by year. I'm 29 years old going to be turning the big 3-0 in September so right now you could say these are my peak years. I know I have time to get better yet I remember that I'm only limited as the older I get but it doesn't mean that I shouldn't stop competing nor train hard. Being a competitor is in my DNA.
The same could be same for work. I would like to move up and earn a little more money. That would depend on what positions are available to me, how I measure up to everyone else. I know that I am limited to just getting experience and what I know and who I know. I also feel that I can be content with not being one of the most highest paid employees at DFAS. Besides sometimes making that type of money can lead to headaches and you would have to give a little bit more of your life up. I am content with having a government job, doing my service to my country, but doing it right in order to keep a steady job throughout my life. I know I could be doing something more than I love for a living but sometimes you don't realize how important job security can be especially in this day. So for now I am content with my job.
Something that I tend to struggle with in contentment is relationships. I sometimes feel the pressures of staying single due to seeing friends get engaged, marrried, or them having kids. My parents often joke that my sister's dog, Lilly would probably be the only grandchild they get. I mean its a joke and all but it makes me feel the need to find that one. It's hard to maintain relationships with the opposite sex going in not commited of what each other wants. I think going in you would try to have to much to expect only for that person to be caring and considerate of your feelings as well. Also, patience is the key. God will have a plan for whom we want to be with and that too is learning contentment.
I think overall to conclude, I think it's great that we as people want to strive to get better in whatever we do. Whenever it is work, a talent, a sport, wanting to purchase a new car/home/or other luxury, and be a better person. The key is staying positive, listen to encouragement, don't let negativity get you down, but importantly be appreciative of what you have no matter what. Which is the message of what I tried to get from the sermon and be more dependent on God. That's how we try to be more content. Hopefully this helps.

R.I.P MACHO MAN!!
http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/20/randy-savage-car-accident-macho-man-dead-dies-died-killed-wwe-wrestler-florida/
Now, many of you are saying well pro wrestlers don't live to be over 50 years old well so what. Yeah, his time was cut short at 58 but I believe that Randy Savage will go down as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He was one of my favorite professional wrestlers growing up and pretty much something you tend to remember growing up and watching during my childhood. Here is a little bit of his bio.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage
He had held over 20 championships with certain organizations but his time in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) when it was the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) and with WCW (World Championship Wrestling) is what many would remember him by. He was manged by his real life wife Miss Elizabeth, whom he was married to from 1984-1992. She sadly died in 2003.
 |
| Macho Man and Elizabeth |
That was great. He always wore either head bands or cowboy hats with sunglasses and had a cool beard. He was knowm too for his catchpharse ":OOOO YEAH!!!And always when you hear "Pomp and Circumstance” play at a graduation you always thought of the Macho Man!!
Despite all that is describe the Macho Man, he was also a great wrestler due to his athletic background as a professional baseball player when he bounced around in the minor leagues before follow in his brother's and father's footsteps and became a professional wrestler. He had many great matches with Ric Flair, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibease, and he even made Hulk Hogan and the Ulitmate Warrior look good when he wrestled them which that in itself is hard to do. His Wrestlemania 3 match with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat is said by many to be one of the greatest matches of all time. One of my best or you would say scariest memories of the Macho Man was during his feud with Jake "The Snake" Roberts when Jake Roberts attacked the Macho Man and tied him in the ropes and pulled out a corba which bit his arm
Wow, in that you had people turn away and kids crying, but the snake was devenomized and it made for a great story line. After WCW went under in 2001 Savage stopped wrestling but still was able to do other things such as have his own rap album. Yep you have to hear a song on YouTube to believe
star in movies like Spiderman!!!
 |
| Bonesaw is READY!! |
A lot of wrestlers had twittered on their thoughts of the loss of Randy Savage, including Hulk Hogan whom he had a love/hate friendship with Savage because Macho Man blammed Hogan for the divorce of him and Elizabeth but were on speaking terms again before Savage of course died. Which brings me to my next point. Why won't Vince McMahon allow Macho Man Randy Savage to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Here's an article that was posted 13 days before Savage died
http://www.examiner.com/fight-sports-in-national/more-details-behind-the-randy-macho-man-savage-feud-with-vince-mcmahon
Whenever or not that's was true in the article remains to be seen. I think that when Randy Savage left the WWE he took the Slim Jim advertising with him to WCW which was a lot of money that could be one reason epsecially since WWE was in competition with WCW at the time. But, time has passed and I think for Vince McMahon to do something honorable to the fans and especially to the legacy of the Macho Man is to allow him to take his rightful place with the another wrestling legends and be able to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
And that to quote the Macho Man is something when can all "DIG IT" OOOOOO YEAH!!!
I'm D-Money and that's my Two Cents!!

Jack Bauer vs MacGyver
Hello again, fellow bloggers and readers to my blog. Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile. Been busy with work, officiating track meets, and trying to get my butt back into running and I 've tried to come up with a blog post but I wanted to make this one count and everyone to know where I stand and what evidence I'll bring to support my argument that I want to win this debate with my buds at work.
With everybody having a certain opinion on how to be patriotic these past few weeks with the whole Bin Laden thing, I'll give you all a topic that all of us can think and how it is your civic duty to decide which is best. I'm talking about who is a bigger badass on TV, Jack Bauer, or MacGyver.
 |
| Jack Bauer |
 |
| MacGyver |
Vs
You tell me who looks more BADASS in these pictures, Jack Bauer with a gun, or MacGyver with a mullet??
Now this argument had started over a year ago. After watching the last ever season of 24 my friends at work and I usually just B.S. about certain things when we walk around after we eat lunch. So I told them I watch 24 and think the character Jack Bauer was so cool. I should know I was him for Halloween once, but I don't have a picture. Both of the guys argued back that MacGyver is more man than Jack Bauer since he doesn't use a gun and can make explosives out anything that he uses with a Swiss army knife and duct tape. Well, I have a Swiss army knife and duct tape, does that make me MacGyver.
They argue that he doesn't have to use a gun to get the bad guy. Well, there were times that Jack Bauer didn't even have to use a gun to kill the bad guy. In Season 6 of 24 when Jack was captured and tied up he
escaped by biting a terrorist right through his neck into the jugular vein and killing him. It was one of the coolest things I ever saw in that television series. He was able to untie himself and escape. How would MacGyver ever escape from that without useful things or a Swiss army knife? The terrorists would have taken all of his stuff and try to leave nothing so he couldn't make a bomb out of or cut through his chains
to escape. This is one of the many reasons why Jack Bauer to me is more badass than MacGyver will ever be.
I try to back up my reasons with evidence from websites and what not just to prove that Jack Bauer is more badass than MacGyver. How my buddies at work think MacGyver is better than Jack Bauer is beyond me, yet one of them thought The Hangover wasn't a funny movie and that everyone I know likes or loves The Hangover so what does that tell you? I gave him a DVD of The Expendables and he hasn't seen it yet. Mostly cause his wife doesn't like action movies, and she didn't like The Hangover either. They're the Weirdest Couple I know.
Back to my argument, some would say that Jack Bauer or 24 appeals more to adults and MacGyver is more for kids because they would believe that MacGyver can make a gun out of Tics Tacs, straws, and used metal. Sounds ridiculous, right? Even the creators of the show acknowledged, in real life one would have to be extraordinarily lucky for most of MacGyver's ideas to succeed. In 24, you can definitely see certain situations that Jack is forced into what is happening for him to react quickly. But, let's compare the two main characters by their strengths, flaws, their allies on the show, and their shows themselves to see who is more badass.
First, let’s take a look at MacGyver. He always carries a Swiss Army knife, duct tape, or whatever junk is on him. He never uses guns meaning his character is a gun control advocate. Not to be to political but this shows he is kind of a wimp. They say when he uses whatever to make these explosives that it is in self defense and he never means to kill anyone. That’s bull because explosives are meant to cause destruction and kill people if they are close by. MacGyver, bad guys would kill you if they have the chance and they would not give you a chance to defend yourself. Speaking of that does anybody that had watched the show ever see MacGyver have any fighting skills? Of course he's got the mullet hair cut but so did Rosie O'Donnell at one time.
 |
| Rosie at her best??? |
Here's the fictional biography for Macgyver himself
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_MacGyver
That's right his first name is defintely Angus!!! Yeah that’s right, Angus. Sounds like a name of a punk rocker or your favorite hamburger other than someone you want to trust saving your life. Take away the g from the word and it's anus!!! Huh huh, anus. (A little Butthead right there) But, still how would you take him seriously. I mentioned an example of how Jack Bauer's escapes here's a video of a MacGyver escape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTWEh2mcdsg
I'm sorry but how is it possible for coffin to turn into a jetski?? The jetski didn't look that great, the picture quality of it didn;t look believable. Those East Germans back in the 80's are stupid. If you wanna make sure he's dead burn the coffin, lets see you get out of that MacGyver. Also, those East German Communists are terrible shooters, his back is very noticeable and a big target. The actors from the A-Team could have hit MacGvyer. Speaking of the theme to MacGyver is very chessy just listen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNl9M5TxGC8
For a great 80's Action TV Show listen to the A-Team's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVonyVSQoM
Sorry but if I was old enough like I am now back in the 80's I would be watching the A-Team, Mr.T woudl even beat up that FOOL MacGyver, lol, but back to my argument. MacGyver works for the fictional Phoenix Foundation with his buddy some bald guy who helps him out, along with the guy who played "D-Day" in the movie Animal House.
There you go MacGyver.
Now, you may argue that MacGyver can make a bomb from silly puddy, make a gun from a pen, or make use house hold items to escape prison and he can never use a gun. Yeah that's true. Jack Bauer can do those things to. Like I said before has anyone seem MacGyver try to use his fists to fight. His fictional bio said he graduated in physics and chemisty to quote Austin Powers in this quick link
In fact the TV Show Mythbusters proves some of his inventions work but not as well as you would think or not at all.
It took them 52 minutes in real life to get out of the room while it took MacGyver 1 min. Jack Bauer could have done that or at least kicked the door down to get out. Another thing you might tell me is that people love MacGyver since Saturday Night Live has done a parady of him, MacGruber.
Picture speaks for itself to describe, MacGruber. I saw the skits and the movie and they are both stupid. Richard Dean Anderson was dumb enought to be in those MacGruber skits
http://www.rdanderson.com/film/macgruber/macgruber.htm
It just shows you that MacGyver isn't as much of a badass as Jack Bauer. I hope Kiefer Sutherland has more respect for his character of Jack Bauer that he wouldn't subject himself to this crap!! Now, you guys are saying how good is Jack Bauer well now I'll describe for you, Jack Bauer!!!!
Jack Bauer is the main protangist on the hit TV Show 24, which just ended last year after 8 successful seasons, that's 192 episodes surpassing Mission Impossible & The Avengers as the longest-running espionage-themed television drama ever, a video game, 68 emmy nominations with 20 wins, 11 Golden Globe nominations with 2 wins, 10 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations with 4 wins, a TV Movie called 24:Redemption which aired in between seasons 6 and 7, and a possible Motion Picture Movie to be filmed at the end of this year to be aired in 2012 (hopefully).
MacGyver only lasted 7 seasons which was 136 episodes, and only 2 made for tv movies. It was nominated for 4 emmys during its run but not for any acting creditals just for sound editing and make up.
Here's comparision of awards won and nominated for both shows
MacGyver
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088559/awards
24
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285331/awards
The musical score of 24 is so great and intense. Just take a listen to it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btAfXqgMkPs
Pretty good. You don't here that type of score during a MacGyver episode. The series had real intense drama and action not that goody goody crap kind of drama in a MacGyver episode where MacGyver saves the day and everything is hunky dory. :P Sometimes in real life people died and Jack dealt with so much that sometimes some characters die but it works out great in the end of the season or day I should say and we go into the next season. Every episode of 24 kept you glued to the television. It was the same old crap with MacGyver.
Now, your just saying that you just describing the show, what about Jack Bauer himself. Well, ok then. Here's Jack Bauer's fictional biography from wikipedia.
http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Bauer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Bauer
The name says it all. I don't play the game euchre but the "bauer" is the jack of the trump suit and the most powerful card in any particular round. That should say it right there. Jack Bauer conquers all.
See Jack was a member of the U.S. Army, where the Delta Force where he received specialized training with a ton of honors. Is capable of understanding or speaking many languages, more than MacGyver, worked for LA Police Special weapons force, CIA before going to CTU (Counter Terriorsit Unit) which has shown that he was the most capable agent in that organization. He specializes also in weapons and explosives. Done a little more in his early years than MacGyver. Even had time to start a family and had a daughter. Sadly his wife was killled by Nina Myers, a traitor in CTU, at the end of the first season. One of the most sadest moments of the show.
 |
| Jack's wife dies. Real drama. Not fake MacGyver drama. |
You don't have real drama like that in MacGyver. But, Jack slowly but surely moved on and protected the country from Nuclear Bombs, government conspircies, other terriorists, an evil president, prevening the release of a deadly virus, and preventing the USA from going to war with other countries by exposing other conspirators who wanted to profit due to war.
The man is able to take torture as well. Inbetween season 5 and 6 he was held capitive in a Chinese prison and never spoke a word. Speaking of handling torture. In the beginning of season 6 he made one of his greatest escapes right here.
http://www.gamespot.com/users/Buckling/video_player?id=dyZlkmGt5b4MuDHd
How cool was that he bites the guy's neck in the jugular vein killing him, taking the keys and escaping. BADASS!!! Terriorists would try to take anything away to make sure MacGyver doesn't invent anything to escape. Jack didnt us a weapon he just bit him in the neck.
And so what if Jack uses torture to get any information from Bad guys or traitors. He will get it no matter what. But, he's not this cold monster that you may think that likes to torture people he respects the law as he says at the end of season 7 to one of his female friends whom he was close to.
"I see fifteen people held hostage on a bus, and everything else goes out the window. I will do whatever it takes to save them, and I mean whatever it takes. ... Laws were written by much smarter men than me. And in the end, these laws have to be more important than the 15 people on the bus. I know that's right. In my mind, I know that's right. I just don't think my heart could ever have lived with it."
Jack isn't alone he has help from CTU agents along the way at least those who are more capable and actually believes he is right most the time. This includes Tony Almeida and his soul patch, and Chloe, the intellgence analyst who is there to help out Jack with any information
Beats having a bald guy and D-Day from Animal House especially since these two are more reliable at helping Jack than anybody. Like the Jack Bauer fact says, "If everyone listen to Jack the show would be called 12". I think Jack Bauer led the special forces attack that killed Osama Bin Laden and Al-Queda is afraid to retalliate since they know who killed Bin Laden. JACK BAUER!!!!
So with all of those skills and ways of badass are the reasons why 24 is not only a better TV Show than MacGyver, but that JACK BAUER IS MORE BADASS THAN MACGYVER AND CAN KICK HIS NERDY ASS ALL OVER THE WORLD 15 TIMES!!! It would have to be an MMA style fight and MacGyver has to use his fighting skills (what fighting skills??) in order to beat Jack which he can't. Jack has killed people with or without guns. Here's evidence.
Jack has killed 265 guys in an entire series that's 8 days. Image how many he has killed inbetween each season. MacGyver hasn't killed 26 people in his entire series.
So you're all thinking these are fictional characters and this is pretty silly. What is the point to this blog? Yeah I may be a little goofy in writing this and I hope you are entertained in reading. But, my point is to prove to my two buddies at work that JACK BAUER can kick MACGYVER's Butt anyday of the week and he is more of a BADASS than him!!! Please tell me that I'm correct. Or reply back as to think why he is and I just wasted my time on this or else I'll think you are just as stupid as my buddies are.
I'm D-Money and that's my Two Cents!!!!!

A Thrilla In Zoarvilla!!!!
This shirt kind of looks like it's promoting a boxing matchup instead of a Track and Field Invitational if you ask me. LOL. The Thrilla in Zoarvilla is just the nickname that was given to this just because our town Zoarville (which is the address of our school district) (My high school district consisted of several small town in North part of Tuscarawas County) kind of but quite rhymed with Manila so they just shortened it to Zoarvilla to make it sound cool I guess. From the Classic Muhammad Ali- Joe Frazier fight in 1975 called the Thrilla in Manila which Ali won and declared he was the greatest ever.
Now, as many of you people would think I did not come up with this name as you would think. I think it was Dave Lautenschleger the boys head track coach at the time who did. I just volunteered in 2005 and again in 06 right around the time I left my last semester of college until I was able to get a full time job. I was going from an intership and being unemployed around May 05-06 but back to the blog.
In 2005 when I was volunteering coaching at my high school going to duals, invites, and hosting mostly dual meets at our high school and for junior high meets. The coaches and the athletic director wanted the idea of having our high school finally host a track invitational. I thought this would be great. It would give the kids a chance to run something else besides dual meets with Manchester, Fairless, Tuslaw, Triway, Indian Valley, CVCA, or aganist any other school in our area or conference.
Heck, I remember after transfering back to Tusky Valley my junior year in 98-99 that the track at the football stadium still had Limestone/Cinders that if you fell on you had to pick off little tiny rocks for weeks at a time. Yep kids there was a time that we ran on those tracks. Our parents ran on the same thing. I ran during a time back in 97-2000 that some tracks were just cinders and limestone until almost all high schools have all weather on them like they do today, well hopefully most of them do. There are some that don't. Well, after my junior year my high school started construction during the summer to put an all weather track over the cinders in our football stadium. Now it became just 6 lanes but it turned out very great.
Anyway, my senior year we were not only able to run 4 dual meets on that new all weather track but our High school hosted the PAC-7 Championships at the end of the year before the district meet. One of my greatest memories is winning the 3200 meter run at the conference meet. I was undefeated in dual conference meets in the 3200 meters and I wanted to win this event to get first team and put the icing on my senior year. And I did win it in 10:10 beating 2nd place by 15 seconds winning my last race ran on my home track before districts was a great moment. However, we ended up 2nd to East Canton since they better sprints then us but it was great for our school to hold the Conference meet. Yet, I think they held it only one more time until the league went to 8 teams so I don't think conference won't be held there until they decide to expand the lanes which I don't seeing.
Back to 05, the coaches and athletic director were able to get the sponsers, volunteers and help ready to have a track and field invitational held for next season. I was lucky enough not to start my new job in Dayton, before I came to Columbus, to coach again the following season and help out setting up my high school's first track and field inviational. We even had 10 teams be at the first invitational as well.
During the invite I of course followed my kids running their distance events since I was the distance coach. I had both my boys and girls 4 x 800 teams place 2nd with PR's up to that point in the season. I had two really good distance guys run very well but they both lost to a kid who would win the 3200 meters at the State Meet that year but both of my kids went to state one in the 1600 and the other in the 3200. I think boys got a close 2nd in the meet to Indian Valley and the girls got third place overall.
At the end I felt excited for the kids and honored that I was able to help out with my high schools first track and field inviational. Even though it was my last season of coaching before I got into the workforce I felt I helped out with something big. I don;t coach any more but next year I wouldn't mind even coming back to help out and maybe be one of the track officials there since I'm now learning to be a track offical.
A lot has gone by but the invite is still going strong. My mom still helps out with track meets and bless her heart she has to deal with the baumspage computer program just to get the results up for the Invitational. The boys finally won it this year after coming in either 2nd or 3rd the last 5 years it's ran. Click here for results for this year and past results

I just like to follow my high school track and cross country teams every now and then to look at the results to see how they are doing just to compare!! LOL. I hope they get a few to the State Meet. Congrats to both Boys and Girls this season so far and good luck to the rest of it. And thanks to the coaches and my high school for helping me give back to the kids during my brief time of coaching for what you've been able to help lead me along my way.
The Tusky Valley Track and Field Invitational has definitely become a THRILLA IN ZOARVILLA!!!

This is the shirt from my High School Track and Field Invitational that was just ran this past Friday. I think this shirt looks much better than the one during the first year they held it in 06, my last year of coaching, when I helped out with the inviational being runned there for the first time.

In fact, but sadly I admit my high school track is much better taken care of then my college's(Muskingum) track. And that Track is 8 lanes. But, the adminstration at Muskingum doesn't care about athletics so that is for another blog to complain about.
Anyway, my senior year we were not only able to run 4 dual meets on that new all weather track but our High school hosted the PAC-7 Championships at the end of the year before the district meet.
