Hoooooooly Crap look what Booby missed!  I haven't seen that many pages to read through in one day since the week leading up to the Fisher-Ithaca games back when they used to be competitive (zing!)...

Quick thoughts of a Booby - 

DewCrew is all good in my book, and I definitely like this column more than the previous which would discuss Rowan every week. 

Whoever said the thing about Dan Aykroyd come forward because I don't want to look it up again...But +k to you for a while, because that was just funny. 

Lastly...HEY PRIDE!!

[Yanks 99]

Look. I don't need any apologies or whatever. I try very hard to be fair. Is there too much UC sometimes? Yes. But I'm an alum, the column says as much. Occassionally I go too far, and when I do, I've been told about it and I've corrected it.

I just think it sucks that two sentences --TWO! -- were critiqued based on an interpretation out of a 2,700-word column. That's what annoyed me.

Again...you are taking it too much too heart...maybe stay away from the forums for a while.  That is not breaking any chops either...

[Yanks 99]

yanks- you should stop out
ill be in the cigar bar ---and probably the only one with a uc in hand

I would love to go...cigar bar and all especially.  But with about 6 hours left of painting the living room of the new house, a 2 month old, and moving the rest of the furniture in to our house tomorrow...something tells me Mrs. Yanks isn't going to buy off on it.

I think the moral of the story is that if you have a beef with DC's column, perhaps you should e-mail him or Pat, or PM him or Pat.  Rather than just calling him out right here in front of everyone.

Wow...really?  Look...no one insulted anyones wife/mother here.  This is a discussion board for god's sake.  This is PC (political correctness...not Pat Coleman) at the highest levels.  Now we cannot even call anyone out???  On a discussion board???  So if you tell me that Wick sucks...I shouldn't write back on here...I should just send a private message to Pat telling him that you were mean to me???

If that was meant to be sarcastic...strike what I just said...if not...that is ridiculous.

Yes, this is a discussion board about football, not the editorial standards of this website.  Do you think a newcomer (if they were reading this) to this board wants to read 6 pages of people arguing about whether the writer of a column is a homer or not?  That's the point.  This entire conversation was irrelevant.

Dumbest thing I ever heard...don't discuss a weekly football column on the football forum.  Pretty sure the newcomer would pick up quick that he is a homer...but that he also covers a lot of area fairly.

Hugs and handshakes for EVERYONE!!!

and you PG, are now Johnny Ola.  Stop trying to make peace with everyone, and stop hanging out with Myer Lansky.

Before anyone asks, Johnny Ola was Hyman Roth's right hand man in Godfather 2...strangled on a balcony???

Do you know there is an ATR forum?

Ummm...yeah...but this was an E8 discussion point.

[AUKaz00]

From my standpoint though...I don't think Alfred fans care about a playoff seed.  When you have never made the NCAA's (at least I don't believe that they ever have...if they have, it was a while ago), I am pretty sure that all they care about is getting to the big dance.

At the start of the season I would have fallen over myself to agree with this and when we boil it right down I just want to go to one playoff game featuring the Saxons, but right now I would really much rather watch it at Merrill Field than drive down to Maryland.  So, while we really want the chance to play the fight song in a non-ECAC playoff game, it would be silly to say that's all we care about right now.

Technically strangled inside the hotel room standing by the sliding door to the balcony but on with the discussion.

Look, if you want to make a point about the teams, the play, the stoopid refs or coaching decision, on the field, off the field, or do the LLPP thing and talk about cheerleaders and stock tips, that's great. I think it's terrific. If you have a problem with my column, throw me a note on the ATE board, that's why I started it. Or e-mail at adam.samrov@d3football.com and I'll get it there, just put ATR in the subject line because it sometimes gets stuck in my junk folder.
Or e-mail Pat at pat@d3football.com if you believe I've made a mistake or have not been totally fair or whatever.
I don't think a noob is going to want to read six pages about the ATR columnist's "homerism," etc., they want to read about how Alfred and Ithaca are going to rock Butterfield tomorrow.
Capiche? (to capitalize on the Godfather references  )

[BoSox0322]

DC does a very nice job with ATR.  I had no problem with his Utica stuff, but some others did.  DC dropped the Utica stuff, yet some have gone through DC's stuff with a fine toothed comb in an effort to go after him again.

Why continue to bust the dudes balls when he has obviously made an effort to appease all those who were offended by his Utica talk?

Seems like Yanks & BoSox just get some jollies out of being obnoxious and rattling some cages.

I swear the only thing i brought up was the comment about  an upstart Utica being one  of Alfred's toughest test of the season coming up... i thought that was laughable so i brought it up for discussion... on a discussion board... thats it... and it didnt go over well.  Of course i was picking the article apart... why not?  you dont think that comment is ridiculous?

The comment wasn't bad at all......6 pages of it was ridiculous.

i agree
