The Other Sports Thread (Titans, Vols, Dores, etc) - Part IV

I checked with my sister. Her mother in law's maiden name was Jean Fiecko and she was born in Manitowoc. She's between 75 and 80, I'd guess.

That name doesn't ring a bell. I'll ask around and see if the name rings a bell for any of my family members. Maybe they've heard of the name.

The current name is Trammell. There are at least 6 of them in the area with either that name currently or as a maiden name (Jean + 5 daughters). Brother in law lives in Alabama.

...It's about this time that we point out to the lady from Hermitage that Manitowoc and T'rivers aren't exactly small little hamlets where everyone is related to everyone else.




Unlike Merrill, where I live. %P

Manitowoc isn't. Two Rivers kind of is.

I asked my mom about the name and she hadn't heard of it. She's from Two Rivers but knows a lot of people in Manitowoc. Trying to ask my dad but haven't been able to get a hold of him as he lives literally in the middle of nowhere and only has a cell phone, which is obviously spotty at times in the middle of the woods. 120 miles north of Green Bay to be exact.

Joe, you never know. My mother in law's best friend's sister (ha ha!) contacted me a couple of days ago to tell me that she was doing some ancestry work and found that they are related to people with my maiden name. My maiden name is quite rare in Nashville, particularly with my spelling. In fact, we were the only ones...and the spelling she was seeing in the history was "correct".

But to be honest, I have no idea how big (or small) Manitowoc is. I figured it was maybe 60,000 people.

That's way high. The entire county has like 80,000. I think Manitowoc is around 34,000.

I'm always thinking high. I lived in Lewisburg for my high school years. Thought all this time there were around 17K people there. Looked it up and there are less than 11K! Maybe it shrank. I dunno.

33.7k according to WP. T'Rivers is at 11.7, which is still more than Merrill's 9.7k (depending on which way you come into the city; they haven't changed all the population numbers yet).

120 miles north of Green Bay is da UP, eh.

I never considered that my hometown would have fewer people than a sold out Bridgestone Arena. It just never crossed my mind! Of course, when you're in a graduating class of 141 that should probably seem about right...but it seemed bigger.

I graduated from high school in Mt. Juliet two years after they opened Wilson Central and basically took half the students out and our graduating class was still almost 300 I believe. Mt. Juliet in 2003 couldn't have been much more populated than 17,113.....

 

[jwhouk]

I don't think Lincoln County has much more than 17,113 in it. At least, not anyone of significance...

That's not necessarily true ... Ed Townsend ... co-wrote "Let's Get it on" with Marvin Gaye

Um...sports. Go Pats!

Your graduating class was bigger than mine and I graduated in 2006. And my school was from 2+ areas. We had 90 in my class BTW.

 

[Adz]

I graduated in 1976--the Bicentennial Class! (It was a big deal at the time)

The city has a Walmart, a Shoney's, a McDonald's and a Super Kroger (none of which were there when I lived there) and has added schools, so I just assumed the population had grown.

Okay back to sports.

UT won a basketball game the other day. I didn't watch it. How's that?

Still in Wisconsin but just barely.

I never considered that my hometown would have fewer people than a sold out Bridgestone Arena. It just never crossed my mind! Of course, when you're in a graduating class of 141 that should probably seem about right...but it seemed bigger.

My hometown is about half the size of a sold out Bridgestone Arena (at the time I graduated at least) and my graduating class was around 500.

Um...sports. Go Pats!

I don't think I'm going to be able to watch the Super Bowl this year. Just knowing that the Packers should be in there and it's those smug ****** from Seattle instead. Go Pats, I agree but I just can't watch it.

 

[PredsV82]

non call on the obvious pass interference the last time Seattle had the ball potentially looming large...

 

[Mass]

Why Peter Carroll. Why.

 

[Dave is a killer]

horrible play calling by the offensive coordinator of the Seahawks you have the best running back in the league from the 3 yard line and a time out and you don't run the ball at all ... I bet you the Falcons are having buyers remorse right about now

Wrong thread?

Wrong thread?

Not on this day.

Two things:

1. Marshawn Lynch wasn't participating in that last play, just so he wouldn't get fined by the NFL.
2. "Nationwide - Your kid just died." Visqui, I think CLB might want to look for another arena sponsor.

I didn't even notice that ... the commercials really sucked this year
