Will Vikings Or Pirates Be Sobbing Saturday Afternoon?

Commemorative towels for the last game at old Burrell Field as alumni of both schools play flag football and renew friendly rivalries.

 

Burrell Field will open at noon on Saturday and the game between Viking and Pirate alumni will commence at 12:30 pm, rain or shine -- but which side will need the crying towels that are among the memorabilia being lined up for this event?

Organizers thank Pirate Alumna Carlene Meitz of Carlene's T-Shirt Corner as well as Bob Vance, also a Pirate alumnus for getting these game towels.

If you're not already in the know, find out more about the game . It also has a PDF that lists a partial roster of the 70 or so players and cheerleaders taking part.

Viking fans seems to have the edge in passion heading toward the showdown. They lead Pirate partisans by a 50 to 43 percent margin in a poll asking who readers are rooting for.

I played for San Leandro High in 1964 JV game and we kicked butt on their field.

SLHS took it this time but everyone had a good time. Afterwards people went to the Englander. People who were foes years ago were talking about old times, sharing stories, having cocktails and having a good time together. I for one am glad I showed up.

Rob, *I* provide decent, safe, affordable housing for low income folks. It can be done. Yes, IRead More take Section 8 vouchers. Guess what, they work, and they disperse poverty so you do not end up concentrating poor people into a ghetto. All you're doing is creating ghettos. As for the religious women, surely you understand the difference between charity freely given and taxes confiscated from me at the point of a gun.

As previously mentioned, if there were a "shortage" of affordable housing, rather thanRead More creating a brand new ghetto in the middle of downtown SL, those tax dollars could have gone to buying up blocks of foreclosed houses and fixing them up. But you'd rather build new construction at a higher cost to taxpayers. Wonder why...

If there wasn't a demand, people wouldn't be lining up dozens deep for every unit. These will beRead More nice units, well managed. There are folks buying up & rehabbing foreclosed properties.

What brand is the pastry cutter?

It's slightly used but I don't remember where I bought it from. I don't see any brand name on it. IRead More just priced it based on the lowest one available on Amazon. If you're interested, make me an offer. Maybe we can agree on it. Thanks for your inquiry.
