How about this.........

........La Salle will be playing Malvern Prep on Friday Sept. 9th at 7pm at Franklin Field. Don't know what that's gonna look like but should be a great feeling. It might be the best stadium to watch a football game ever. Oldest active stadium in these here United States.

Very interesting, Paul. I certainly have great memories of watching games there. Not sure it's the best stadium for actually watching a game--because you've got the track between the field and the stands. What kind of crowd do you think they'll get? Under 8-10 thousand and it can look pretty empty. I'm thinking the upper stands will be closed.

On the flip side, you can hit Smokey Joe's then Abner's Steaks after the game...

Yes, Jones is out. Torn ACL.

Very tough luck for such a young kid. Any idea how it happened?

 

[16th&Georgetown]

I think it was a freak accident while lifting during a workout.

I think it was a freak accident while lifting during a workout.

They were lifting and rolling tires and literally one of the tires got away and side swiped him in the leg.

 

[16th&Georgetown]

Yes, that's kinda what I was told too. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

 

[roxychknpoxy]

That sucks ... Hope for a full, speedy recovery.

That's a huge blow. I was looking forward to that kid doing some amazing things this season. Great safety as well.
