This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Joe LaRocca by NH74Domer
So I guess you remember going to the games. I should have realized you played based on the earlier threads.
Joe was a paisan and a wild man - believe he got suspended from school for a bit for hosting a stag party in the basement of Dillon. IIRC, he totaled a friends '67 Mustang convertible at the corner of ND Ave and Angela blvd. as well. Believed he roomed with Ed Guylas. I find myself thinking of him every time I am in SF walking past LaRocca's bar in North Beach. He's a great guy.
You must have played w/Joe Theisman as well. I had the great fortune of meeting him a number of years ago and the privilege of introducing him as one of our key note speakers at a sales conference. He got a standing O.
