Default Chillin after the meeting

Some coaches watch the ESPN special on EF/BB. Other coaches get some game time in. A picture of Jimbo's Army cover.

Matt Culp makes the announcement to get ready to go to the Elk center for the Friday night dinner. Then get your butts back here for the MFCA HOF ceremony!!!

Default We met all the HOF super fans

at the Friday night dinner. The drinks were free. The prez of the PFUFA gave us a shout out during the dinner. We all stood up to a round of applause. They accepted us into the family. Wolf was the man. It's like being at a wedding, and knowing both sides family.
John Martin (JM) led the way. He knew the area like the back of his hand. We all followed him over and back! I rode in the back of Will Travers pimped out F-150. Baxter rode shotgun, I was in the back.
There was a very small parking spot. Adrian dared Will to try it.......... you can't squeeze in there! Will hits a button, activates the rear camera. The video comes up in the rear view mirror, the truck beeps when your close...........and in no time we were parked, and Will was looking like........ What!!!!?!

The only picture I have from the dinner is with my 2 fav people. 49ers fans for life like myself. They made my trip extra special

Default It's back to the hotel

The prez is at the podium again. He is handing out some awards. He gets so choked up, he almost joins the "There's no crying in MF club".

Since this MFCA started, Matt has had the pedal to the medal. In this world you have talkers, and you have doers. Matt is a doer in all CAPS!

That's basically what Wolfie was trying to say, but he was getting all caught up in the moment. Real good stuff tho!

Baxter got an award for being some great coach. He never beat me?????

Default Now Ray F is at the podium

Ray is the head of the HOF committee. His group did an outstanding job of getting all kinds of info on the 1st class of HOF. Not just MF stuff, but all kinds of stuff. There was a slide show being shown as Ray ran down all the facts that made these guys great in our hobby/sport.

Jimbo read a letter from Mr. Landsman himself

Mike Turner got up, and said a few words on the behalf of Dirk.

Buzzball owner, Mr. Diamond was the only member of this class to be present. He gave a great speech where he thanked everyone........ including yours truly for all the support thru the years.

Default 1 more award was given out

I know what my fans are thinking............ no I didn't get this award.

Matt took the podium. This time it was the prez who got some props. Wolf had thought he gave out the president award to Matt, but Matt did him one better, and the president award to who else.................. the president!

Words can't describe the work and time these guys are putting in, and no salary. A labor of love they call it. I wonder what their wives call it?
Great job to both of you guys, you deserve it, and then some.

Don't forget Al D, he does an outstanding job as well. V.P. Willie "style" Travers is perfect for the job!

Default Now it's still Friday

All these pictures. I've been to the hotel, caught the end of the meeting. We drove over to the Elk center for the dinner with the super fans, had $2 drinks, back to the hotel for the awards. The MFCA HOF, and it's still only about 9pm.

After the awards............... Let the games begin!!!!!

I'm not even sure of the 2 games I have here were games that counted???

Looks like Greco vs Wolfie & Adrian Baxter vs Damon Lucas (forU2hate)

Default Now it's Saturday

Ray announces $5 pictures with Mr. NATIONAL in front of the MFCA banner!!
$5 pictures with the F.O.T.H. Only $5!!!!
I get 2 coaches, JM & RayF............... I'm still waiting for that $10 fellas?!


Steve Martin tries to qualify for the passing skills challenge.

FrannyJ gets some work on his snow board. Buuuuuurrrrrh

The action was hot and heavy. All styles of play were being tried out. I even got some of Jimbo's AFL flava. I was going to try Jimbo's custom rule set with mini backfield divider, but I only finished the 12th grade............... You needed a few courses of college to learn it!
Whomever played, might as well conceded the victory to Jimbo!

The younger generation get in some work.

Final shot is of Big Will out of Akron vs 5-13 aka chris fields. That's Styx in the background.

Default We stopped for a few hours

to head over to the Stern Center for the Unitey Way kids event. This was the real reason we were all here. Everyone who donated items, thanks, they came in handy!!!!!!

Now I don't have any pictures from the Stern center, I was too busy running the passing and kicking skills for the kids. Jimbo did come over, and tag himself in so I could get some items from all the PFUFA people who were set up in the center. Some guys from the army was in the house as well.

Again, John Martin led us over to the stern center. This time I rode over with Ravenna Al............... nuff said!

There was free sodas, and dogs for everyone. This is a great event.

I rode back with Al. Some coaches just went over to the HOF because it was getting close to the time for the enshrinement ceremony, it's close to the Stern center. The Hotel is about 25 mins away.

I made the ceremony late. Here are the photos from what I saw.
