Where is Washingtonian?

I’ve also been missing his layout for the game posts. Nice to get a little more info about some of our lesser known appointments and a chance to check out their forums when they have them.

Washingtonian is probably okay as he probably just wants to focus on schoolwork and what not. I last texted with him a week ago. I did just send a text to make sure he’s good and say hello.

as far as the game goes, this might be the worst opponent mason has played all year. Hopefully they keep focus and take care of business.

I know Kier is officially off his minute restrictions but I don’t see any reason to really push him this game. He played 16 minutes last game. Play him about 20 this game and hopefully at the end of the game we see the Walkons and JDS in the game.

"A Measurement of Our Success
From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O'Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of twelve acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James C. Ryals, Jr. as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School conducted a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Haymes, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state, that 25 students were enrolled in the Normal School, and that 222 were in the preparatory school.

The Normal School remained in operation until 1930 when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College, reflecting an increasing higher education role for the Institution. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1957, the name again changed to Jacksonville State College when the first graduate program -- the master's degree in elementary education -- was created. On August 2, 1966, the State Board of Education was authorized to elevate the college to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education."
