gro-hope you enjoyed your stay in Utica.
did ya hit any decent spots before ya left?

No time.  Wedding & reception were in Rome, after party at the hotel utica.  Gro did toss back a few UC's at the hotel bar.

There ya go... Mothers milk!
The one thing about the Hotel Utica is that the bar closes too early!!

Boy I spent half an hour looking through old posts to find that no one commented on Delaney's stories from the journal this week?  No Byers return (bummer, but not shocking) and the rumors about Bostic were true as well.

Lots of excitement about the kid from Maine on the O-Line! 6 foot 9, 280.... sweet!

Those of us who dont live in Ithaca would have never heard of it!

And it looks like he started 5 games as a redshirt freshman...

This kid, Jake Queener, gets bigger everytime he's mentioned! Heck, at this rate, by the time IC plays AU in November, Queener will be 7'0" and 340 lbs....and no doubt he'll suit up with the Bomber basketball team.

Dear IC-

A tall linemen doesn't immediately equal a good linemen. Sounds like a DE or TE.

I'd be more excited over a 6-2 300 pounder myself.

It also sounds like 90% of NFL olinemen.  I mean, the kid started for 1-AA Maine for 5 games.  If he never played there I would be less excited.  Actually, Im not really 'excited' for anything.  But just the fact that he actually played makes me excited to get excited for some excitement.

NEWS FLASH......
New Transfer J. Queener just measured in at 7'2, 355 pounds and just finished his last 40 at a 4.43....

Not being a prick, I'd be excited too probably. I do doubt there are very many NFL o-linemen coming in at 280 though, especially at 6'9.

EDIT:

Now that's exciting stuff.

any Fish heads heard anything about your new USC QB?

I get exited just thinking about it.

No, for the love of God.  I keep searching to see if there is anything new in regards to this years training camp.  Nothing.  Not one article from the D and C.  Nothing on the website.  It's lammmmme
