LS Gordon-Brooks?
- Thread starter yesman3

Based solely upon the feelings some of LaSalle alum relatives have expressed about Coach Brooks, the LaSalle faithful would stage a mutiny.
LP,
Regarding Coach S., heard same at LS-Carroll game yesterday, 3rd hand info, again reliability of sources unknown.
JB,
Agitator: Nah, never! Agitated: probably.. Not LS, I think the Office of Institutional Advancement and Planned Giving(site never updated if you look) would beg to differ. I still bleed for the boys on all fronts.
Had a rough New Year's as you're well aware, but always have to look forward. Hope your health is well, my best for the New Year to you and yours.
Relayer,
Is there any doubt brother!! Kaye, Igor, Downes couldn't hold a candle to him on his worst day..
Adam, of course, gets a pass.

I'm sure you give Oliver a pass too. I saw Rick and Adam at the good ole Chestnut Cabaret in '93.
I will say Tom Brislin was a hell of a keyboard player on the Symphonic Tour in '01, and the kid is from Jersey (much like half of SJP's roster...hehe)

That's true, no more cow patch. Just a nice steep hill. Spend over 1.5 million and they don't even level the field. Should have put a piece of turf on a street in Manayunk. Going into SJP end zone you are going down hill. Blackhawks end zone is uphill.
The Plateau!
Some of the best days of my life were at the Plateau while we waited for our sons to finish practice and give them a lift home! If a full moon was out, Coach Brooks would practice until about midnight lol! We met some really good friends because of Prep FB, which in many ways was better than college ball.
Coach Brooks was an outstanding O Line coach who emphasized great footwork.

Few people realize that he was an OL with a very high motor. He even played for Swarthmore I believe. His tenacity was the same when it came to getting the job done, whether on the field or in the courtroom.

I actually miss that place ... The smell of blunts, the quads tearing up the park, the 'deep bass' music, storing equipment in a shipping container, not to mention the occasional 40 oz recyclables. That built concentration and character. Many a moonlit nights on the dusty tundra. Ironically, they are truly great memories. There was something kindred and captivating about it. Many will snark and laugh, but it's true. Besides, NJ is right, the freshmen and JV games were great there. You had all that ambiance and the sky line as well. Many an opposite team and parent would show up expecting some epiphany of a filed when it was simply the park - especially teams from out of the area. It was GREAT to see the looks on their faces.
Hey, it beats playing in a 'soup bowl' even if it is 'on campus' -

Re: The Plateau!
Yes, the people that came to the Plateau expecting to see some high end private school stadium sure got a shocker! I especially liked the summer training sessions, and think that played a big part in the Prep's success. JV games were the best with Devlin as coach of the JV. You knew he would a great head coach.
Good memories!
