Wooooooo! Back on Track!!

After taking the last month to recalibrate and see where we stood for The 2012 Memorial, we have landed at a spot!  August 3-6, 2012 will be this year's Memorial Day weekend!  We will be back up at The Estate doing what we do best: being awesome!!!

And in an exciting twist, this delay will allow our very own David "Bluebeard" O'Nan to return to the US of A to compete and defend his championship and MVP trophy.  This is a watershed moment for The Memorial and I couldn't be more ecstatic!

Also, what moving the date means is that we have some new bodies to potentially fill the open slots that we have.  This will open up the competition to more guys who were always tied up with other commitments.  Break out your stopwatches and a 30 pack of Busch!  We'll be back in Greensburg in some 70 odd days!!!

New Commitment: I Smell a Ratt!!

The first commitment of the 2012 Memorial is in. The honors belong to Ol' Silvertop - AKA Rattsfield, Popsfield, MC Balanace, Cheesy Matt, Easy Mac, Psycho T.

Ratty is never above using a shortage of stamps/envelopes as an excuse. But this is not my first invitation rodeo. Having removed that issue by providing stamps/envelopes, Ratty is the first to sign on the dotted line! The potential for a "Strip Club Guys" team name is officially on the table this year!!!

Welcome aboard, Ratt! It has been a long couple of years.

The 2012 Memorial


Several weeks and months have passed since we last had any discussion about the status of the 2012 Memorial. I wanted to take this opportunity to stress unequivocally that the 2012 Memorial will run and will be a return to years previous!

We have moved the date from Memorial Day (previously non-negotiable) and will now be holding the 2012 Memorial on the last weekend in June - much to the chagrin of Peezy's arms and sunburned face. The first wave of invitations went out last week and I suspect you have all received them by now. The decision date is set for May 1

One final note: Let's get back to our old ways and get the chatter back up on The Blog. There is no reason to let this thing die because of laziness, miscommunication and a general disinterest. We all know that this is the best event - other than Arbor Day - of the year. Let's start acting like it! To quote the great Dan Devine in Rudy: "You are an All-American and our Captain, act like it!"

I switch it to: "You are a Memorial competitor and MVP-trophy candidate...Act like it!!"
