Thats common for Suny schools tho. haha just kiddin

[sjfcards]

now that I think about it...a few years ago Fisher had Mark Niggli...
I don't remember how old he was, but his nickname in the student section was "the old guy"...he looked like he was 40

[keystonelight]

and what about Chuck Wagon... a.k.a. Charlie Zahn... he must have been pushing 26?

and let's not forget Gavin Stackhouse and Brandon Banks who were both older when they played football for fisher

Gavin Stackhouse also is the subject of one of the greatest radio calls in the history of Ithaca College when he was playing football for the Bombers.  In 2001, about two weeks after 9-11, the Bombers were on the road at Mansfield.  The PxP guy opens the broadcast talking about how the Bombers are going to miss Gavin Stackhouse who is in the Nat'l Guard Reserves and has been mobilized and sent overseas.  Two seconds later IC kicks off and the PxP guy says "...and the tackle is made by...umm...Gavin Stackhouse."  Meanwhile, his mother is probably having a coronary somewhere listening to the game thinking her son has been mobilized and didn't tell her.

You and Fisher's whole football team.  Usually happens when a sea of Bomber blue is bearing down on them.

Man I can not wait for that Fisher/IC game this year...I think I will start the pregame festivities right now...

[keystonelight]

Atleast fisher fans can spell ButteRfield

[keystonelight]

by the way looks like fisher lost at ithaca by a touchdown last year in overtime

oh yeah and this year at Fisher Ithaca almost dropped a few dingleberries getting stomped 34-10

[sjfcards]

Fisher finished the year on the receiving votes spot on the final top 25 (basically 27th). Brockport is up near the top 10 at #12. Plattsburgh and Rochester were both in the receiving votes.

Also, future Empire 8 member Stevens Tech finished at #24...

[FisherDynasty]

Not too bad 2 teams from the E8 close to the top 25.  Fisher should be in as well, they were definatly a top 25 team by season end, no question. 

[umass-jj]

Not for nothing but we beat UMass in a scrimmage the year before that.

Come again?  Generally, when one refers to "UMASS", you're talking about the D1 Minutemen from UMASS, Amherst.   I can tell you that nothing of the sort happened.

That said, congrats to Amherst on winning the title.

Unless you were a member of the team, you can't really say that. Every team plays pre-season scrimmages that the scores are not reported. UC usually plays Potsdam, but outside of people on the team and their families, nobody hears about it.

I heard UC is looking at/getting a 32-year-old for next season. Seriously?

lol If you are serious, there is only 1 person I can think of, and he is better than Ray.

Who?
