Congrats on 2500 pages, y'all.

So K-Mack needs a little advice from the LLPP. Coming to town this weekend. Definitely going to Rochester-SJF at 7, but for the early game

a) Carnegie Mellon-Hobart (starts at noon and shorter drive)
b) St. Lawrence-Alfred (might need the 1 p.m. kickoff since I fly in that a.m., and have never seen either team play)

Someone in the know, help me decide.

Also, if any of you are in the area on Saturday, definitely drop me a line. Keith@D3football.com or the ATN board or here or whatever.

(secretly wants Tennessee to magically pull out a W on Saturday, FWIW)

Keith,

The Rev is definitely biased, but you should go to Geneva.

Make sure when there you eat at Cam's New York Pizzeria on Exchange Street while you're there.

Trust me.  It's worth it.

Pep is equally biased and thinks K-Mack should pay a visit to Mayberry where Alfred is celebrating Homecoming.

And if it's steak/prime rib/seafood you like, you can't beat Muhleisens on Main Street in Almond.

Alfred had a New York Pizzeria at one time....that building is now home to Southern Tier Concrete Products, the Frontier Service Office and a Blood Test Lab/Clinic.

After DP Dough broke its 10-year lease halfway through, it was replaced by Sonora's Mexican Restaurant, which was nice until it suffered water damage from an apartment above and shut down. Now a Fox's Pizza Den is in the works, scheduled to open soon. There's also Panda Chinese, and, if you've got the time and good company, Cafe Za is pretty cosmopolitan.

A lifer told me recently that she and her husband listed all of the restaurants they remember in Alfred over the years and were quite amazed by the number....but after nearly 75 years, the Collegiate Restaurant still fills the bill.

Dlip & Utah,
Just saw the video of a dude being pulled out of the stands and kicking a 50 yard field goal for a new BMW at the Union/Ithaca game......did you guys see that??

Pretty cool.

Pep,
Even by LLPP standards, that could be the most random post of all time.....+1k.

The only thing that would have made it better would have been if you started with, "One time.....at Band Camp....."

Back in action,was away for a couple daze.Looking forward to travelling to the Boz  to see the Statesmen back in action.BTW,LB Robinson hasn`t played `cuz of a muscle pull,hopefully back soon!Look to see a completely different team after last weeks debacle.Not sure who will get the nod @ QB, but Vella needs to relax and let some routes open up.Let the backs carry the ball, that`s what they do.K-Mack... might as well hit the `Bart game. Cam`s pizza is yummy, and Parker`s Pub has some Death Wish wing sauce that will tear the ass right out of you next A.M.Go `Bart!!!

This one time at Band Camp....now wait, is that emboldened quote above really something to be desired? Pep says K-Mack would have a better Sunday A.M. after a nice prime rib from Muhleisen's...just a little early morning flatulence and you're good to go!

Where are you flying into?  If it's Rochester, Alfred is about 81 miles (75-90+ mins) directly south on the 390.  Geneva is 46 miles (about 50 mins) east of Rocho on the NYS thruway (i-90).

I'd actually advise a triple dip of going to Hobart-CMU first half, listen to 89.7 FM WEOS en route to Alfred, see Alfred late 1st-early second half.

Roll up to Rocho, grab a garbage plate at Nick's (if that's still around), then hit the courage bowl for the night cap.

Otherwise, my biased opinion is Bart-CMU.  The last two games have been decided by a combined 6 points.  The Larries are improved (at least good enough to beat Norwich) but may get stomped by Alfred.

[dewcrew88]

Wow.....U89 just noticed that they play Anna Maria later in the season also.....yikes!!

And Mt. Ida.

But this is Coach Faggiano's second year, so he probably didn't have a say regarding the schedule the past 2 years.  But Utica has been bad for a long time, I can't really blame them for scheduling those teams.  They have to actually win those games before they can be taken seriously anyway right?

Hmmm chalk up 4 wins for Utica, that helps RPI's OWP.

And hurts their OOWP.

knew I couldn't slip that past the guru...

Dewcrew, my bad, should have said chalk up at least 4 wins for UC. They've come that far where those games should be victories, and I agree UC has the capability to knock off E8 and LL teams. Good luck starting on 9/26, sorry but RPI must crush the moose.

Yeah I hear you. Saturday's game will be interesting, and I believe closer than you might think.

[AUPepBand]

Pep and Kaz00 have been waiting to see what happens in the RPI-Utica game with the understanding that the winner makes it on Alfred's ballot in the East Region Fan Poll.

Thought about the Triple dip, but looking at the map, I wasn't sure it was possible necessarily. Or worth it. Though I think when I had that thought, I'd forgotten about the staggered start times at Bart & Alfred.

That's a heck of a lot of driving, but I would like to see all three campuses.

Even selfishly I'm torn. I've seen Hobart and CMU, and never the other two ... but shorter drives are always fun. People I'd like to meet at both places.

So basically I came for the biased opinion. Good stuff, it helps.

FYI, Nick's is still there, but now closes at 8 PM. There is another one opened by Tahou's son in Gates that is 24 hours. But really, it's not a huge leap in quality when it comes to plates. Any place that ends in the word "Hots" will have a decent plate, esp. Empire Hots, Irondequoit Hots, etc. Just make sure you get:

-Cheeseburger
-Mac Salad
-Hot Sauce

And enjoy. Boy, does Max like talkin about Rochester.

It may be one game but Hermann may make some noise in the LL this year.  I have not seen a 6'6" 240 pound kid scramble and run like that.  He may start to make some DC's spy him which may open up the middle of the field.

Any insight on why Herman didn't appear until the start of 2d quarter (if I followed Kurt Stutt's announcing correctly)?

[redswarm81]

Prayers for the family of RPI graduate, Myles Brand.

Mr. Brand & Patrick Swayze were both cut down by the same brutal disease.....next to impossible to beat pancreatic cancer.

Ditto on the prayers.

67 & 57 respectively, too young in both cases.  I've known a half dozen or so who've been clobbered by pancreatic cancer--I wonder if Dr. Brand and Darry had to go through the obligatory 3 or 4 misdiagnoses.

Pep would add that the drive between Geneva and Alfred (usually 90 min), no matter what routes one takes to get through the Finger Lakes, is quite enjoyable. Pep would recommend from Geneva, take Rt. 14A south (left off Rts. 5&20 west of the Boz) to Penn Yan, then take Rt. 54 South to Bath, where you can pick up I-86 West....take Exit 33, right on Karrdale Ave., right on Rt. 21 thru Almond, right on Rt. 244....straight into town to the light where you take a couple lefts and follow drive into McLane Parking Lot. (If you're coming to Alfred, let Pep know and he'll reserve a parking spot behind the Merrill Field grandstand, which is a left coming into town)

Follow your tracks back to I-86, go east to Exit 34N, follow Rt. 36 north to Dansville where you hit I-390 north to Rochester. Easy!

Let Pep know if you're coming; he'll give you the nickel tour and accentuate all of the positives of Alfred where Pep is serving a life sentence.
