i think i took a sh!t there once...butterfield stadium that is

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

Jose'.....touche'


Hey Keystone....where do you hail from...?


You must have played....?

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

Great, and you probably should have been down at half, 24-0. Ithaca had a young QB playing his first meaningful game (and a road one, at that) against the IC's (current) biggest rival. There were some missed opportunities, for sure. Fisher deserved the win, but don't come on here and pretend like the Fisher had that game in the bag from opening kickoff to final gun. They got their tails whipped in the first half but IC didn't cash in for a multitude of reasons; that was the difference.

Let's see how Fisher does now that their stud RB is gone. I don't remember James Reile ever having much success against the Bombers (cue angry response from his dad, bemoaning his lack of playing time). Now that I think about it, I'm not even going to call it a rivalry until you win a game in Ithaca.

Fisher will still be an "every other year" type of team until they can win in Ithaca. Also, that game in Springfield this year isn't going to be a cakewalk, either.

hopefully UC will be good next year...thats the only game other than the naz game that i look forward to

Might want to look forward to the Ithaca games, too. Considering they're going to have the conference's preseason POY (Bostic) and a 1st teamer (Burton), the Bombers should be a good team and contend next season.

If Fisher got their tales whipped in the first half then what happend to Ithaca in the second considering Fisher won?

Impressive that Fisher can play one half and win going away. And if I remember everyone said the same thing about replacing the RB when J Myers left...and that worked out just fine for Fisher. I think Ithaca is a great team year in and year out...but last year Fisher was clearly a much better team. I know it kills IC fans to think about it...but it is just true.
Two years ago in Ithaca, IC made big plays down the stretch to win the game...they were behind by between 1 and 2 touchdowns the entire game (and yes james Reile rushed for 63 yards in just over 2 quarters, not a bad half of football). So, yes IC deserved to win the game, and it is hard to win at Ithaca, but lets not act like the last time that Fisher went to IC they were manhandled either. I picked IC to win the league in the E8 next year in football, but I think Fisher can beat them, and that game will decide the E8 championship.

Michigan point guard to Rochester ...

http://www.bankhoops.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4133&start=60

Comes from Trevor Huffman's alma mater and a league in Northern Michigan, where by point of comparison three of the other four who joined him on the all-league team will be DI players, and preceding him as the all-league point guard was another DI player.

[keystonelight]

i heard this michigan player...who was the leading scorer on his team averaging 16 was going to fisher?

[heatlee]

With Stevens coming into the league how is that going to affect the travel, because their nearest opponent is at least four hours away.

[e8bballfan]

i think it's going to change around the schedule. the conference normally has 'travel partners', for instance, Fisher & Alfred were travel partners, on fri night Fisher would play RIT (naz's partner), while Alfred played Naz, and on the saturday, they would flip flop.

i think this upcoming year there are going to be more weekday games, like tuesday night, fri night games, and only a couple of the fri-sat game pairings.

should get rid of the losses caused by exhaustion on those saturday afternoon games after a long friday night game.

[heatlee]

So who is going to get stuck with Stevens as their traveling partner?

Utica's schedule indicates they're just gonna sorta slide Stevens in whenever they can; the Pios will play 'em in Jersey on a Wednesday night in January then a February Saturday afternoon in Utica.  They will be making 3 separate stops in Rochester since the traditional RIT/Naz duo has been split up (but that's specific to Utica, perhaps IC or Hartwick would still play at RIT and Naz on the same weekend and have Stevens split up the Alfred/Fisher trip, for example.)

[reelentless]

Hey Caz, Utica v Stevens on 1-13 and 2-17  '08 are both Sundays.   That's something new - Both 4PM starts.
