Sounds like the promoters are less than competent.
Will this game be televised nationally? From the article, it sounds like Fox Sports San Diego has the TV rights so if you are outside of the viewing area of this channel, is there a sports package that would include it?
Were you there in Archbold when Art Monk tore up McConkey's knee covering a punt?Phil McConkey stepped up to the plate??
interesting.
wonder if that was his ship. but maybe he did it just because its the Navy.
i believe hes still NYC based, but i believe his firm does have a San Diego office.

good for Phil!! 1 of my All-Time FavoritesPhil did this because he is a huge Navy fan, lives in San Diego (he does still have an office in NYC), has family that lives and dies with 'Cuse hoops, and this is good business for the area and the Naval Academy in general. He had no idea this game was even scheduled, but when he heard about it, and that it was in danger, he helped mobilize assistance and did help save it. Very happy the Post Standard reached out to him.
As for his knee injury at the old stadium, he has mentioned it, but never said it was Monk. Were you there? If you or others have any recollections, he would certainly be interested. I'll check with his dad, he was up there from Buffalo, and definitely remembers it.

That was the last game played in Archbold, played in front of 26K and change. I was there, but don't recall Phil going down. What did go down was the east goal post, where Tomcat and his band of merry men took one of the uprights and proceeded right out of the stadium and headed east on Euclid. Definitly too much GA for the 'Cat that day.
