LD, +k for a great post back there. I won't quote it, but I'm behind that 100% - The coaches were stubborn all game, and made poor decisions the entire game (there seem to be a theme with that? Last year they got in deep and threw when they were running, and this year they ran when they were having success throwing... we won't bring up the end of the Hartwick game... oops) --- Stop hating Jackson for making a mistake, I think it was a screw you coach thing just as much as a screw you & your big purple band thing, LD is right. That was the first time they went to Jackson all year, and he produced (recall the first play of the game, and the shot he took on that pass deep in MUC territory and still hung onto the ball).

Fisher coaches need to take notes from Welch & Co. and learn how to do more with less... or perhaps from LK himself, the guy who turns close games at the half into second half blowouts (Fisher doesn't believe in 2nd half adjustments... or maybe they don't know have the ability)

I'll tell you something else, the team went nuts when he came over to the sideline - While Faggiano was yelling at him (deflecting the fact that he can't come up with something to hold MUC under 1,014 yards rushing per contest), Jackson walked into a sea of hugs & smiles... what's that tell you?

Get off his n*tz.

It tells me that Fisher had their first decent season less than five years ago. I believe it was FA91 himself who chastised MUC posters with "act like you've been there before".

Yes Fisher having it's "first" decent season before Jackson even attended Fisher was definitely a factor in him doing that.  Not one of the players on that team have experienced a bad season at Fisher, so I doubt it was due to not knowing how to handle success.

Perhaps it's adversity that they didn't quite know how to handle.

ok from the mouth of Buddy Christ himself,



was the drum incident funny, absolutly, it was hilarious, but not when you are losing by that much, ask chad Johnson if he is losing by that much he will not do a celebration like that

That would be a more accurate accusation....

"Reply To All"

There's been some water problems at the newly renovated Herrick Library this week. On two separate occasions, toilets have overflowed, first in the women's restroom over the weekend, then the men's room Tuesday.

Pep arrived at work today to see AU Physical Plant workers outside obviously searching for the source of Herrick's water woes.

An hour later, the entire staff was sent an e-mail by the library director, which read as follows:

DIRECTOR: Thought you might be interested to hear how our sewer got backed up twice this week...

PHYSICAL PLANT SPOKESMAN: Our guys snaked a tee shirt out of the sewer line after I talked to you and I'm confident that was the problem that caused both events. How it got there is anybody's guess but we have found stranger things.


Pep replied to all, "Has anyone seen my brown Habitat tee-shirt?"

Gotta love that reply to all button. Max would have gone with: "Hey, has anyone seen my stranger things?"

To the Fisher guys: I didn't mean to send an unsolicited barb about Fisher, I take it back (for now). Again, the crap by Jackson is, in my H opinion, indefensible.

Even better, Max...+K for that one.

Pep neglected to say that the director appeared just moments later at Pep's door with a silly grin on his face....and before he said anything, Pep blurted out, "I couldn't resist! I just had to do it!"

Pep has done worse things with that "Reply To All" button.

Classic Pep.

Ithaca 17th ungliest ampus in america


17. Ithaca College- Ithaca pales horribly next to Cornell. Their proximity just emphasizes the beauty of the architecture at Cornell and the absolute lack of any kind at Ithaca. Sure, Ithaca is "gorges" but the campus is a bunch of gray buildings that just blend into the ground. I was extremely unimpressed by Ithaca College, but Cornell looked amazing. It got just left off my list of beautiful colleges, which I apologize for. Sorry, Cornell.

[JQV]

I'd agree with his assessment of the architecture at IC.  The 60s were a bad era for architecture.  The buildings look like they were designed by the dad on the Brady Bunch.  Hard to beat the view though.

[AUPepBand]

That reminds Pep of another story....

Pep often thought of AU's defense from 2003-2005 as "The Brady Bunch."

Hey Pep,  I'm working with a former AU player over here in Afghanistan... small D3 world

Post on Kubiack, adding a regular Whitewater poster will really add to the diversity of the E8 board.  We already get the occasional OAC, NJAC, LL, NEFC, etc.



If I'm elected president of the E8PP I vow to diversify even more, reaching out to the Southern Conferences and maybe bring in some MHB fans or Trinity, etc.  I will bait them to the E8 board with disparaging remarks about their team, and once they get here I will smother them with kindness and surely they will remain.


Booby in '08!

yes, but everything that I say should be taken as gospel because I am a god

Man, is that what they teach at Roman Catholic universities?  Maybe I got my collar from the wrong seminary!

Guys like Superman who think they're God really annoy those of us who are God.

[jaypeter]

There's more than one of you that are God?  My whole system of belief is changing before my eyes on the E8 board!
