My only technical foul. Not even a swimming DQ that I can remember.
I don't remember a DQ in swimming, but, I remember getting technical foul and tossed out of a CYO basketball game when a high school junior.
We were doing a full court press and my teammate was preventing the inbound pass and covering the guy taking the ball out of bounds. Before 5-seconds passed, guy with the ball whipped the ball at my teammate, Kevin M, right in the nuts. Ouch. Vicious. Still cringe worthy 45 years later.
A play or so later, the press was on again, and I matched up with the guy who made that ball-buster-in-bound-pass on the court. We were about the foul line, and I was guarding him, hand-checking, sorta, with one hand. The distinction was that my thumb and pinky finger was at this temples while my hand was held over his face. He wasn't getting open, nor moving much at all, but the ref saw it, and I went to the bench. Only about 4 people in the whole gym saw what I did.

Short story, You Got to Beat Two
A school assignment, fiction, creative writing done on a typewriter. Those were the days. Combination of white and pink paper too.
I used "D" as a middle initial as it was a picked name from Confirmation. David. Different. Didn't stick.

Went to the Pitt football game with Uncle Jerry
Army came to town, and it is coming up on a 50-year memory. I got to go to this game with my late uncle, Jerry McElligott, He'd serve in Viet Nam. His son does play-by-play with the broadcasting team of the NHL's Columbus Bluejackets now.
Game was full of rain. We even went to the field to watch some plays to the end of the game. Man, those players were HUGE -- as I was 9 years old.
That was a 26-0 loss in a 1-9 season. Sandwiched between a 56-7 loss at Notre Dame and a season-ending 65-9 loss to Penn State. Only win that year was Week 3, 14-3 over William & Mary. Just looking at all scores, that was a bad team.

I remember a loss for Pitt, not the score. Thanks for the history lesson. I guess that is why we got the good seats too.
The Super Soph's. The year the Panther begins to growl. Didn't happen. That group as seniors roared out to a 5-1 start only to fall and finish 5-5. The season was highlighted by this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh2F8jjkha4

Baby photos
My grand pa had a nick-name for me, "The Judge." That's what I was told.
The photos didn't weather the years in mint condition. Oh well.
