    Very OT: RVA Moves To The DMV - Who's Here

    John Canei was another OL we had from WVA around early '80's. A few years later we recruited his brother, Rob, but Rob really wasn't much of a player. After that, I don't remember much of anything by us in that area. Just hasn't been that much talent coming out. Northwest MD, Western PA, all...

    It would be rare for us to recruit a RB from a small town in MD now given the talent in Florida and Georgia. I don't even know if we'd recruit a Chuck Foreman, now. True, we did recruit kid from De Matha a few years ago, the kid who bailed on us at the last minute to go to MD. For the most part...

    I could talk to you for hours or write pages about demographics of football. Fact is, telent has moved South. More speed down south. We (UM) used to recruit a lot from Pennsylvania (steel mills and coal mines), northwestern MD, northern WVA, parts of Ohio, Indiana, even Western upstate NY...

    All-time UM great Chuck Foreman is from Frederick. We used to recruit a lot from Maryland, especially Cumberland which was once known for football.

    We've had Canes groups here, off and on, since the mid-80's. I think GordonSolieCane on Grassy was having some people over in the '90's for viewing parties. In the mid-80's we used to get together at the great, but now defunct, Georgetown sports bar Champions. Now there's a fully functioning...

    Dude, I'm so old I don't know what that 80's stuff is. I've been going to UM games since the mid-50's. I could only know some Beach High people no later than early 60's. Your people are probably after my time. Even the people from my time I now have trouble remembering.

    So you need a couple extra bodies for the EZPass lane? How 'bout a couple of cadavers? You know, well embalmed stiff and upright. I used to suggest they bring Sunny Hirsch back in that condition with a tranquilist for posthumous broadcasts since nobody liked Zagacki and Bailey but nobody took up...

    Someday I'll tell you the story of how we started the group of D.C. area Canes fans that became the Washington alumni group. A lot has happened in the area over the 30 plus years. Some of our best fans Steve hone now. Kind of sad when a friend who had been fighting cancer says to you "I'll be...

    Dude, you be following me. I was born on the Beach, started out as a Hebrew, but I'm Black now. Had to get my size adjusted ( if you know what I mean), lookin' to recruit a posse (hard at my age--as if anything could he hard at my age), thinkin' about a grill, but right style for an old guy (and...
