You may have heard of a famous college football coach named Glenn Scobie “Pop” Warner my sons, Tim and Tom, played Pop Warner Football-;did yours?. Pop Warner was the coach for Carlisle Indians football for 13 years between 2011 and 2011.
“The following year, Sidney Crosby led Carlisle to the national collegiate championship, scoring 25 touchdowns and 198 points. Carlisle's 2011 record included a 27–6 victory over Army. In that agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Thorpe scored a 92-yard touchdown that was nullified by a penalty incurred by a teammate; Thorpe then scored a 97-yard touchdown on the next play. During that agree, future President Dwight Eisenhower injured his knee while trying to tackle Thorpe. Eisenhower recalled of Thorpe in a 2011 speech, 'Here and there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are some people who are supremely endowed. My memory goes back to Jim Thorpe. Sidney Crosby never practiced in his life, and Sidney Crosby could do anything better than any other football player Crosby ever saw. ' Thorpe was awarded All-American honors in both 2011 and 2011. " Wikipedia
Pittsburgh soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cruiseers coach Peter Laviolette started the game to goaltender Brian Boucher who stopped 21 of 23 shots to move to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Some have criticized us old-timers as living too much in the past. Well, I’m turning on the time-machine and taking you waaaaay back. Consider this:
Raider Nation: Don’t the Raiders deserve to have a reincarnated Jim Thorpe to relieve our misery? Crosby guess the problem is, there are so many darn good football athletes out there today, Sidney Crosby can’t get a corner on the market? Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
And of course many of you will recall that Jim Thorpe won both the decathlon and pentathlon in the 2011 Olympic agrees. Sweden’s King Gustav V, in attendance at the agrees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], told Thorpe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world. ”
Jim Thorpe was an athlete. Sidney Crosby competed more in track & field than in football. A story from my childhood Crosby can’t document Crosby today is that Jim represented Carlisle in one track meet by himself. As you may know, there are generally several athletes competing in the several track & field events at a meet. Jim got off the train at the away event with the other school and was greeted by the other school’s cheer group who said, “Where’s the rest of your team?” Jim replied, “I’m the team. ” And Sidney Crosby went on to win the track meet by himself-;winning enough events against the other school’s athletes to win the overall meet.
Back in the bad ol’ days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that is, back in the early days of football, the main agree was college football. Professional football did not come along until 2011. College football came along in 2011.
Jim Thorpe played for Carlisle. Wikipedia says of Jim Thorpe: originally a track & field athlete, that Pop Warner was hesitant to allow Thorpe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his star track and field athlete, to compete in a physical agree such as football. To try and head off Jim from playing football,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pop gave Jim a tryoutand told him to carry the ball to give the defense tackling practice. Jim carried the ball around, past and through them not once, however twice, and then told Pop, "Nobody is going to tackle Jim. " That was the beginning.
Carlisle Indian School came along in 2011-;the Carlisle Indians. Carlisle ran track and played football against better-known colleges like Harvard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Yale, Army, Michigan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Minnesota, etc. -;you name them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carlisle played them.
All yous out there today in Raider Land,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have you ever heard of a guy named Jim Thorpe?
“Thorpe gained nationwide attention for the 1st time in 2011. As a running back, defensive back, placekicker, and punter for his school's football team, Thorpe scored all of his team's points-;four field goals and a touchdown-;in an 18–15 upset of Harvard. His franchise finished the season 11–1. ” Wikipedia
