Rube Baker's Official Memorial 'Rooster'

The following is the official list of competitors with their estimated time(s) of arrival into the 'Burgh:

1) Dan Conte: driving up Thursday night
2) Jon Cobb: arriving Friday afternoon at 5
3) Greg Plundo: arriving Thursday night
4) Rick Douglas: arriving Friday at 5:07
5) Kevin Bowler: arriving Friday at 5:07
6) Ty Reese: arriving Friday at 2:30
7) Matt Plundo: already there
8) Matt Dahar: already there
9) Matt Steve: already there
10) Dave O’Nan: driving up Thursday (I think)
11) Pat Newhouse: arriving Friday night at 7:15
12) Jeff Cobb: already there

I'd say that Ty, Cobb, Rick and Bowler can all coordinate a ride from the airport to 7 Springs together. Matt Steve is picking Newhouse up at 7:30 and they will arrive at the cabin around 9. Everyone else is probably G to G otherwise.

**Note: Dick Rugless is NOT permitted on the premises of Seven Springs!

Can we make some kind of award for the most persistent competitor and call it "The Mike Garland Award"? We could give it out every 4 years.

Big Sweaty!!! Welcome aboard big guy!!! I was under the impression that you thought the internet was just a fad and you weren't gonna waste your time fiddling with it. Color me pleasantly suprised!

Matthew, good to see that you're not into nicknames anymore. Are you gonna be competing in your Thunder jersey or are you gonna wear a shirt and tie?

I think we should give Mike Garland an honorary invitation to the memorial and he can take down our first chug - kind of like throwing out the first pitch, but instead he has to chug a sunkist

Garland is so awesome! I love that man.

Memorial Day weekend is a mere 5 weeks away! Remember last June when we were thinking "how the F will we be able to hold off another 11 month?!"

The Beekeeper said...

This 364 day wait has only made me appreciate Garland and The Memorial more. Can you imagine waiting four years in between competitions?!!! When we buy food we should get a cheese tray, Pop Tarts, and a couple cases of Sunkist.

Dick Rugless > Rick Douglas

a tribute to Mike Garland is very important to me.

I second the motion for the "Mike Garland Award" which goes to the most dedicated participant who against all odds is able to finish. Never in the annals of time has there been a more appropriate title for an award to the person willing to give 110%.

BMOC said...

Please don't pair me up with Gail. That's all I ask. And who is Dick Rugless?

Crazylegs said...

House!! Good to see you on here! About time! Garland will definitely be honored in many, many ways.

How awesome would it be if we could get him as a special guest?! Maybe next year, with a bigger budget, we can hire a private eye to track him down.

The Beekeeper said...

Dick Rugless is Rick Douglas's arch enemy. We dont want him up there.....trust me.

Crazylegs said...

why no Cobb, Bmoc? you guys get along like oil & water? cats & dogs?

the drawing of teams is the greatest moments of anticipation i've ever felt since waiting for Eddie Money to emerge from behind the curtains at the rib & wing fest in Bliztburgh back in the summer of 2004. What a feeling!
