FA91- I would say that 4:30 would be fine, I'll find out the ETA of Big Jim and the rest of the crew so we can all get a parking spot in the same lot-I know Jim will be early, and he is good at getting the spots saved-should be quite a bash

Super...not my friend.

Dubbz, you are right about the Missus.  Actual quote: "Hey, (Jose) we got Wendy and John's Save the Date today.  Seems like we already have something to do on November 10th.  Oh !@#$%^&* that is the day of Cortaca.  This wedding is ruining lives."

I don't understand this line.

Actually, my father-in-law wore one of my IC hats (which he stole from our house on Friday) during our reception and my wife spent two months trying to get an IC garter.

My father-in-law also just finished Wasn't That Fun and wants to come up to compare Gator tailgates to Bomber tailgates.

I thought the general thought was that inlaws were evil and everyone would sympathize with you if you had to go visit the inlaws

The Sports Guy is just awful. His articles are the definition of banality.

I saw it and thought it was pretty lame.  I had a couple of chuckles but figured it could have been a lot funnier.

So how does everybody see this year's E8 vs. LL comparison eventually shaping up to be?  Two years ago the Liberty League seemed stronger just as the E8 seemed stronger last year.  The consensus seems to be the E8 is again favored this year, but then again "that's why they play the games".  How do you guys think it will turn out? Relatively even or one sided and in whose favor?

Regular season matchups (my pick)

Sept. 8
St. Lawrence @ Norwich (SLU)
Springfield @ Union (SC)

Sept. 15
Utica @ RPI (RPI)
St. Lawrence @ Alfred (AU)
Rochester @ St. John Fisher (SJF)

3-2 E8, LL gets revenge in the playoffs. It's science.

[SJFF82]

SJF will be replacing the Port with a tough game...MUC...ever  heard of 'em

Mr. N I might stand corrected but UofR usually plays fisher VERY tough...

Funny how times change...back in the early, mid 90's...SJF couldnt hold UR's water botlles...now we speak of "UR usually plays fisher tough"  I like the sound of the latter better

[SJFF82]

sjf 82- i missed you by a year-
but if you have been back since- then you have seen the transformation since we have been there!

FA91...quite a transformation.  I do go to several games a year.  Even made it to the MUC game last year...that was an incredible experience and brought the transformation full circle.
