The Senator

Yeah well, you’re probably right. Trading for Rob Johnson on the basis of one good performance was a stupid move anyway. But Wade DID stand up to Ralph when Wade refused to fire a few assistant coaches, and it got Wade fired. .

Oh it’s coming, Shady, and sooner rather than later. Soon they will all return to being NY Giants fans - just like they always do when the Patriots suck, like ‘72 thru 75 (15 wins over 4 seasons), , ‘81-‘83 (15 wins over 3 seasons), ‘89 thru ‘93 (19 wins over 5 seasons - wow, they REALLY sucked during the Bills glory years, especially that 1-15 record in 1990), ‘95 (6-10), and 2000 (5-11). Heck, more than half of ‘em were Giants fans when I lived there, ‘84-‘90, and a few of those were decent seasons under Ray Berry. NE fans are the biggest fair-weather fans on the planet. Bunch of chowderheads! .

Keep telling yourself that. .

Pure Cheatriots-sycophant hyperbole. Anyone can appear to be good, if they consistently cheat. Talk to me on February 4th, after the Rams kick Brady’s ass. . .

Yeah, it’s well known - or at least believed - that benching Flutie was Ralph’s call. .

19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! ?????? .

Sorry - I can’t perform miracles,. But, if the NFL had found the Cheatriots ‘guilty of doctoring footballs’, fined them $1,000,000, took away two draft picks, and gave Shady Brady a 4-game suspension, would that penetrate that thick skull of yours? Becsuse that actually happened, ya know.,, http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/12867594/punishments-handed-tom-brady-new-england-patriots-deflategate .

Well that must make pretty hard to sell tickets! Too bad they tore down San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium and Candlestick Park - especially Candlestick. It was just recently demolished (2014-2015) and nothing is being done with the land. I’m thinking the Raiders will wind up at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. It holds 63,000, and the UC Golden Bears don’t play there on Sundays. .

Really? I feel just the opposite. Can’t stand Lady Gaga; Bruno Mars reminds me of a young James Brown! Guess ya can’t please everyone, no matter who gets center stage. .

I loved the place - stayed during summers and swam in the gorge, sailed on Cayuga Lake, explored Taughonnock Falls and Treman State Park - Robert Treman was in my fraternity, as was Prof/Dean/President Tee Fee Crane (Give my regards to Davey, remember me to Tee Fee Crane...). It seemed that summers were more relaxed and without the pressure of s full academic load, you could really enjoy the beauty of that entire campus. I love going back there and seeing how the campus and the town have evolved. Every time I visit, there’s a new building going up. When I was there, the campus pretty much ended at the South gorge, where Collegetown began. Not so anymore! The only restaurant I frequented that’s still there is Rulloff’s! Of course, the three bars that we had on campus, right in the student unions, are gone (Drinking age was 18 back then, and you could pick up a six pack at the campus store, along with your toothpaste and shaving cream). Oh, to be young and in Ithaca again! Ithaca, NY 1980 - the KA softball team (Me, on the right, with the bat...)

Actually, I almost went to IC - the coeds were better looking! ? .

When I saw your reply, I thought maybe it’s from Koko B. Ware! ?

I saw him drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s. .

Whatever happened to Dominic Denucci? Bruno Samartino? Tony Martinez, Johnny Valentine, Pampiro Firpo, George ‘The Animal’ Steele, Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura, Bobby ‘The Brain’ Herman, Rowdy Roddy Piper, et al??? Those were the good ol’ days, when pro wrestling was fun. All the great ones are gone. I can’t watch it anymore. .

Does the alligator accompany him on airline flights? .

As we love to chant in Ithaca, ”SCREW B U...HARVARD TOO!!’” .

Even though it was 10 years ago, I remember the 2009 loss to Syracuse like it was yesterday. I was watching on TV with a bunch of friends, and was crushed when we lost. I also remember reading about that horrible incident in 2004. It must be devastating to lose someone close in such a freak accident. I see where Cornell is ranked #4 in the early preseason. We open Feb. 22 at Hobart. . . BC has always had a great program. BU as well. Wonder what went wrong at Chestnut Hill this year? I used to love going to the Beanpot Tourney when I lived in Boston. .

Colin Kaepernick is available. ?

Yeah, I feel the same way. Last time they won it all was 1970 - the only team ever to go undefeated. (Also won it all in’67, but we had an unfair advantage - Ken Dryden!). I’m Class if ‘81 - traveled to Boston in ‘80 and saw us win the ECAC Tourney in ‘The Gahhden’. Then they lost to Northern Michigan in the Frozen Four. Last time they won in Lax was ‘77 - the Spring before my freshman year. They went back to the final four in ‘78, but lost. Still, loved going to Lynah Rink (featured in the movie “Love Story” with Ryan O’Neal), and sitting in the crescent at Schoellkopf Field, watching lacrosse with a perfect view of the lake, is something I’d like to do again - maybe this Spring. Guess I’ll wait to see how they finish, and how they fare in the ECAC Tourney at Lake Placid. .

? I think we can still figure out the rhyme! ?? .

Aren’t we having a ‘hippy revival ‘ this August? It’s called ‘Woodstock II”, or ‘Woodstock 50’, or ‘Woodstock 2019’, or some sh*t like that,, even though it’s being held at Watkins Glen... https://www.syracuse.com/expo/life-and-culture/g66l-2019/01/88dc85e350904/woodstock-2019-lineup-which-original-acts-will-play-50th-anniversary.html .

Anyone here planning to go? I see Cornell is in 1st place in the ECAC. I’m wondering if I should buy tix now, or wait until after the ECAC tourney in March. GO BIG RED!!!! .

Anyone see that cheating idiot at the pep rally before they left for Atlanta, screaming “WE’RE STILL HERE” over and over again? https://www.patriots.com/video/tom-brady-starts-we-re-still-here-chants-at-patriots-rally What a tool. I hope the Rams sack him multiple times. I hope they beat the living crap outa him. I would never say this about and other player, but I hope he gets concussed. Then we’ll see what he says about retirement. Harrrumphhh! .

No worries - the Bills never listen to me. I wanted them to take Rob Gronkowski - they picked Torell Troup. For years, I’ve been predicting they’d go 19 and 0. The Bills NEVER do what I want!!! .
