sneaking in was the easy part...

Ok, its story time.

All Ithaca posters have one day to come up a personal story about this place.  (If you dont have one story about it, you arent allowed on d3football.com anymore)  Best story wins a gift certificate to the "shop" next door.

JU - looks like this got lost in the shuffle a little, but I'll play.

my favorite would be...A buddy of mine in school did magic shows (I know it sounds lame but he was really good) and he had a show as a part of a Comedy/Talent thing upstairs at the shanty.

He gets into the show and starts a fire-eating routine.  Pretty cool and he's going through it, and there are gags as he goes along.  One is picking up the "lighter fluid bottle" that is actually water.  Well, he sells the gag really well, spits it out, etc....finished the show and all of that.  I go up to him afterward and he's asking the bartender for milk.  It turned out that he grabbed the wrong bottle and actually drank some of the lighter fluid.  Anyway, as he was finishing the show he was actually worried about cathing on fire.

My other story is Senior Week of my junior year...Beer Golf ended there.  We went to grab some pizza and then headed back there.  We get back and a friend of mine is hitting on a townie that had to be in her late 40's.  She wasn't horrible, but still not good.  We try to talk him off the ledge and we thought we succeeded, then a few minutes later we look up to her smiling and cocking her head at the door....he finishes his beer and follows.

He still refuses to aknowledge the morning after.....

On Halloween my senior year we run into our neighbor down there and his whole face and neck are covered in (fake) blood.  Turns out he had been making out with this nasty 30-something townie that also danced at Cuma's (and, according to her, was going to Cornell part time).  We see the dude the next morning and he tells us that the cops had to drive him home at 5 am.  This girl takes him home, bangs the crap out of him, then looks at him and goes "get the **** out of my house."  So he is wandering around downtown, wasted, has no idea where he is, and has no idea what that broad's name was.  Long story short, dude had a back full of scratches and had to get the swab that week.

Gro had 2 friends from high school... 1 went to cornell 1 went to ithaca, and they were roommates... is that possible? did terrible things happen in other parts of the world as a result of this?

I had a roommate in college that played football/baseball at IC freshman and sophomore year then transferred to Cornell to play baseball Junior and Senior year.  He lived with us all four years though.  I think it happens.  Just can't get locked in with one of the popped collar Cornell morons.

One of my roommates this summer was a snobby Cornell vet school girl. There's only so much you can talk about with people like that.

yeah - I knew people who transferred and still lived with/hung out with their IC friends.

I actually think there is a 5-year partnership degree between the 2 schools for Physics or something.

Cornell actually looks pretty kindly on IC for grad school applicants. A buddy of mine that graduated with a five-year music degree from IC now goes to Cornell for a master's in statistics.

In other news, I have to take the GRE tomorrow morning... I don't think I can articulate what a pain in my ass THAT is.

Short article about the Arcidiacono/Robinson matchup this weekend.

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061116/SPORTS0105/611160366/1007/SPORTS

My two favorite quotes:

"I'm sure our defense is going to stop him and I'll have the better game of the two." -Mark Robinson

"Our defense has been shutting down everyone,'' he says, 'and I don't think this week will be any different.''-Mark Robinson

...26 days after giving up an NCAA record-tying 7 TD's to Springfield's Chris Sharpe. They have been shutting down EVERYONE!!

I wouldn't read too much into that -  a little bird told me that Robinson was misquoted.

What he MEANT to say:

"I'm sure our defense will stop him from gaining a million billion yards and I'll have a better game than the two other running backs on my team."

"Our defense has been shutting down everyone that wittily insults them and I don't think this week will be any different than the Springfield game."

That doesn't make too much sense Max.

They weren't real quotes, just something I actually made up in an attempt at comedy.

Speaking of real quotes, remember when windbag quit and he said "You can have your message board... all ten of you." I just noticed that there are 8511 registered members on D3football.com.

couple things max

one i found your interpretation of the quotes very funny and i gave karma because of it.  but besides springfield the defense really has shut everyone else down, if we held them to 7 like Ithaca we would have probably had one of the best defenses statistically in the country.

two i think when he said all 10 of you i think he meant Ithaca posters but I am not sure
