It won't let me play it. It says I have an old version of WMP and won't let me DL the new one...probably cuz I'm running XP.

If they let you DL and mp3 I'll give it a listen that way if you know where I can do that?

Bob Ford is a class act. The NEC will miss him when Albany moves on.

Brings me right back to the point just before I ran out onto the field.....

Wow

It's crazy...Albany has been lucky enough to have two living legends Coach at our school: Doc Sauers and Bob Ford.

Bob...finally will be getting what he earned (and Sauers received in the early 90's); A spanking new home...with ground breaking expected by this summer.

Personally, I would love for alumni to erect a statue for him in front of it; much like JoePa...Bob Ford affects(ed) so many people other than his team, coaches and other athletes. Bob Ford had a positive effect on an entire city.

The irony is that Coach Ford would be embarrased by such a statue, or any attempt to name the Field or Stadium after him. That's exactly what makes him so special.

The funny thing is he was giving the same pregame talk and prayer when I was playing during the "covered wagon era"

I mean this when I say it, It won't be the same for me (and I am sure many others)when he finally calls it a career. From the speech he gave yesterday it soulds like he will be around for a good long while.

As far as a bronze stratue out front of the facility I have heard others state the same thing. It can and will be done.

Hope so...but statues are really expensive. The Great Dane in the RACC is about 1 million from what I was told.
