good to see ya on Rob.
Enjoy cali.
Now-what else did ya hear about the newbies coming in?
Is a case of UC enough to lure you out of cali for a game?

[AUKaz00]

I thought I'd interject instead of just lurking.  Like everyone I'm ready for the season to start and the .edu discount was enough to convince me to pre-order Kickoff 2008!  The end of August can't come quickly enough.

Well Dubbz it has been an incredibly slow 4 months on the boards.  Basically from what I remember here are the highlights.


-Ithaca is (or at least was) in search of a secondary coach, and they also weren't sure if one of your players would return this year or not (can't remember who but he seemed like a significant player)

-Pep's vehicle is still going strong

-There was a lot of talk about potential replacements for Norwich and the consensus was that Cortland would be the best fit, though some people don't find this likely. 

-Utica had a list of their recruits posted on a website, Mark Robinson came on talking about some potential Fisher recruits, and Pep I believe speaks of a 100+ incoming recruit class (which he was later told was nothing too out of the ordinary).

-There was a bit of a discussion taking place in regards to Division 1 / 1AA players switching to Division 3 spurred by the talk of some of the Fisher recruits, there were some who were strongly opposed to players doing this in general (not just the ones that decide to go to Fisher).

Other than that it's been the occasional hello and what's up, there were periods of days between posts...Most notably the one you just broke up, a pretty nice 3 day streak of no posting.  Good times!

Hope that helped sir.

I'm assuming it was Phil Byers? Is that right? Any news?

Actually the player was Bostic, according to rumor in the basketball group, but it was pointed out that wouldn't be likely.

I don't think you gave this story nearly enough play. It was far more dominant on the board than you describe.

Far too dominant.

Seriously, how about a round of +k for Pep's van - the one constant in the E8 Nation (other than Supe's awful spelling).

+k Pep

Hey FA, I had to break away from the E8 Nation/LLPP, Inc. addiction for a bit.

Not only is Robby in Sac town nowadays, I also may not be in attendance this fall. I am very close to relocating to Houston, so we'll see how that all plays out.

Hope you are well.

[fisheralum91]

tags- holy cow!
Houston?
sheeesh.
Im going to be goin to these games by myself!
Sounds like FA91 will be the loner in the parking lot with the UC's!
Hope all is well and hit em straight !

FA had breakfast at Casab's this morning.

Now in Pittsford for my cousin's wedding. Pretty hammered and looking for someone to drive me over to Growney so I can drain one on the Cardinal logo....
