Don't know if this was posted anywhere or if anyone cares but it was announced that Mansfield University will be discontinuing its football program. Apparently the college has gotten too small to fund a D2 program. They also went 0-10 this year.  Will be looking into a D3 program in the future.  Nice field and atmosphere down there. Would be a good addition and not too far of a drive.

Not the least bit testy and I will agree that Hornell is Walmartville.

Just giving those coming in an option to something besides subs and pizza. Some people like a treat to a good meal when on the road. 

For those of you traveling to Alfred in the next couple of weeks and actually want to eat, you might want to check out Hornell. It's just 6 miles or so from there right off of I86 or Rt. 21.  That's where you'll find fast food and regular restaurants.  A couple of the SJF kids are from there and the Alfred State football team plays football on the high school's artificial turf. Club 57 is a good place to eat and have a beer.

No angst here. Will probably go watch the "big" game this week in Rochester. Too far to travel to Springfield. Will enjoy watching 2 quality teams go at each other without worry of who wins.

Thanks AUPepBand for the update on Julio. Haven't heard much around here. As you probably know, our high school team scrimmages his year after year and he and the boy were opposing RBs during those times.  This has to be the nightmare that every football player wants to wake up from.

Again, Prayers for Julio.

Don't know why there is some  thing going on about AU and Brockport but just to clarify.  Alfred has seen Brockport this year. We scrimmaged them and although both sides were throwing people in and out, the score came down to Alfred being up I believe, 3 scores to 1 or maybe 4 to 1.  I lost count as they didn't put it on the board. AUPepBand probably knows.  I have absolutely nothing against Brockport, in fact we have a local boy #97 playing there and for his sake, I hope they do well. Just wanted to clarify the AU doesn't know about Brockport thing. They do.

Praying for Julio!

AUPepBand,  Any word on Julio? 

Prayers to Julio!!!!   Missed the game Saturday.  Sounds like it was quite a hit though.  Probably every player's and parent's worst nightmare when it comes to football. Will be thinking of him.  Keep us updated AUPepBand please!

fisheralum05:  According to the Cortland site, they scrimmage Hobart on Sept. 2.  Don't know who SJF would scrimmage. Anyone?

Does Fisher have a scrimmage this weekend? 

How many scrimmages do we have going this weekend? Stinks that we have to wait until next weekend.

Saxontad:    Not yet.  I'll post when do.  Maybe AUPepBand knows?

Sept. 2:  AU vs. Brockport, scrimmage.   AU also has added 2 more JV games. Gives them 7 this year.  New assistant coach Coleman will be heading that up.  Gives them a little more action and keeps their head in the game.  Good deal.

NewSchoolAU19:   I knew Chaz wasn't back last year but there was some talk about him returning this year. Sounds like we got a good recruit in to help with that position.  Do you want to elaborate on the transfers?
