Looking at the box scores, I cannot figure out why Leahy can't get into the starting lineup.

AUPB: Do you remember the guy that used to dress up like a cow at AU Hoops games? Classic. The funniest heckler I have ever heard.

EDIT: Just read the recap. Nice to see we hit a free throw in the final three seconds to ice the win. Always been IC's achilles heel for some reason.

I didn't realize there was a difference between North and South Henrietta but whatever.
RIT did have a downtown campus originally but moved the campus to Henrietta in the 50's/60's I believe in order to expand. Now they seem to build something new there every year.

I didn't see if this was noted earlier but RIT was swept by SLU and Clarkson on the North Country Road trip although both look to be solid teams this year.

Not actually seeing any of the games, it looks like RIT is expecting Zeinfeld, Geathers and Bacon to do most of the scoring this year which they seem to be doing, they just aren't getting any help from anyone else right now.

Nice win for the bombers. Always a good win when you can pick one up against cortland. Starting to see a lot more balance from this team then seen in past years where they seemed more reliant on just a few guys. Bostic looks like he is starting to get his legs back from football and is also starting to develop more of a competitive edge, which if he continues to do can be really dangerous.

Big weekend for the Bombers coming up as that is usually not historically a good trip when they have to travel up north. And everyone knows that Dobbs is going to be looking to make up for the drubbing Ithaca gave them last year. Any word on St. Lawerence?

IC did pound Potsdam last year due in large part to the 15 Andrusciewicz laid on them.

+k to the new Bomber poster.

SLU is undefeated at this point and already has wins over E8 teams RIT (by 4) and Elmira (by a lot).

Ithaca did pound Potsdam last year in Ben Light with the help of Brian Joe getting out of his early season shooting slump. And boy did he shoot out of it. Potsdam looked like a deer in headlights, maybe in part because of their close loss with Alfred the night before.

We'll also see which Potsdam shows up. Because if it is the one that lost twice to Clarkson then they could end 1st semester with only two wins. If they play like they did against Brockport in the second half it should be a good one.

It is always nice to see former assistants play their old head coach with Dobbs and Mullins. I think Mullins has on a 2-1 edge on Dobbs.

Utica takes on cortland tonight. My alma mater vs. my wife's. Should be a good game. Let's go UC.

Cortland sounded pretty rough in their home loss to IC. UC should roll.

Any thoughts on the big Fisher Vs UofR game tonight? This is a great measuring stick on how good Fisher really is. Should be an excellent game. Although UofR seems to be a year away from being the leader in the UAA conf. They are very disciplined and are very well coached. I am taking UofR by 8-12 as Coach Neer will fully exploit the young inexperience guards of Fisher. In order beat a team with a structure like UofR's you either have to be redhot from behind the Arc or an experienced ladin team. Either way i'll be there routing for Fisher, go Cardinals!

Jose:
The cow was a back-up tailback for AU and a good friend. Attended his graduation party in Lewiston, NY (near Niagara Falls) and presented graduation gift of a Holstein pillow. Hilarious kid. Speak with him online on occasion...trained and poised to be a teacher, perhaps his cow outfit got him into a different pasture as he's now a sales rep for BOSE, having just been transferred from Chicago to Boston.

U-G-L-Y, you don't have no alibi....you're UGLY....you're UGLY!
M-A-M-A, that is why you look that way, your Mama!....your Mama!

Yeah, Saxon Sillies were top notch.

Any chance the hoop guys are a little distracted by all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the football team's run?

My favorite road trip when I was playing. I actually took a minute to tell them they were hilarious while someone was shooting free throws. I probably got yelled at for not paying attention.
