Union 82, I spew at you but its ok because the spew and poop hit in the middle and we come out unscathed.  You guys are fun, come on and liven up the E8 board again

Gro saw some bombers at the UC/Rowan game... nice coats. Everyone was showing their school colors at the game, saw some RPI and WPI fans too.

Tecmo,

Figures #91 has a Hyphenated last name.   

Go Bombers

[TheICdubbz]

I hated number 91. He adn Davis were complete  Jacka$$'s.  like i said in a previous post those players who focus on the fans as opposed to the game lose my respect.

[TheICdubbz]

Because of them i had no voice at work on monday.  how did rowan taste by the way? 

[Reno Hightower]

Rowan didnt taste too good....but I'll tell you this, the turkey on Thanksgiving tasted a whole lot better knowing there was some football to be played in the 2nd round of the NCAA's!

2nd Round isnt good enough U, but a heck of a season nonetheless!

[bomber27]

Wow, U like i have said good job on the second rond but in the last 5 years we have gone to the third round twice.  So, second is good but third is better

[Reno Hightower]

But what happened when you ran into Union?

But what happened when you ran into Union?

well correct me if I'm wrong, but when the bombers have run into union in the playoffs, Ithaca has won 3 out of 4 of those meetings. Of course I guess this year is the only one that matters. Although now this year is last year for both teams.

How is Ithica looking for next season?

[TheICdubbz]

Ithaca's Felicetti woes (meening we are losing him) may soon be forgotten after Juven throws for 1769 yards half way through the season.  Tecmobowler and I were very impressed with his performance against cornell.  He is so poised in the pocket and if it collapses he scrambles like Vick.   

the backfield is solid, with the trio coming back.

wideouts look to be good too as Gordon and Crandall look to step in. along with the Dobbs Ferry wide out that came wiht Juven.

lineman wise  we have Killer Kegorator Kam.

CBs look good.

LBs we always have plenty of.

kicking game... well, we have one. 

Rumor has it that Younger Dubbz may be returning to IC with 4 years of eligibility. hopefully he will fill in at TE or WR  being he is bigger than Dargush with speed of Baez.

see you in 06

[gobombers]

How are we looking at D-Line?  Need some pass rushers for sure.

[maninyellowhat]

The younger Dubbz isn't going to be a kicker?

[tecmobowler]

Talked to a Section IV football recruit today.... sounds like he is Fisher bound.  He mentioned that the Fisher coaches were extremely kind, went out of their way to talk to him time and again, the facilities are great, etc....

When asked about Ithaca he mentioned that they showed interest, but seemed to have the attitude that they didn't really care if he went there or not. 

I have heard a number of others mention this sort of behavior in person, and on the board (including Robinson's Dad i believe).  Does Ithaca roll out the red carpet for anyone, or do they have more of a take us or leave us approach?

I'd be curious to hear any former players opinions on this, along with Mr. N if he's still lurking around.. Granted you shouldn't talk players up too much, and guarantee things that won't come true.  That being said, these kids, and the dads of the kids, love hearing how wanted they are.  Toss on a professional weight room and facilities and recruiting in upstate could be a problem.

One of college football's most storied rivalries waits to be played out this weekend in Philadelphia.  Navy takes on Army with the Commander in Chief trophy on the line.

For all deployed Sailors and Marines, and as an active duty Naval officer, I have only one thing to say:

GO NAVY  -  BEAT ARMY!!!!!!

Best of all - my former Commanding Officer invited Mrs. Lyco and me to be his guests on the 45 with club box seating!

All the best
