Going back to ICAC days, Pep found a fabulous video on Youtube of an encounter between Union College and Alfred University played at Union's Alexander Field(?) Nov. 9, 1968. The Dutchmen won 6 games that year--most since an unbeaten 1949 season, while the Saxons (and Pep remembers the season well) finished at 2-5. If Pep remembers correctly, the ICAC was loosely organized then with some members choosing NOT to play others so an ICAC title was often disputed. But Union beat all the ICAC teams it played that year.

AU was not very offensive that year, but the defense was led by #55 LB Bill Assenhemer. This video is probably the best Pep has seen from that era. Small college football has certainly changed through the years! (Legendary) Coach Alex Yunevich likely had 50 men on his roster. Games drew big crowds as shown in this 13-minute video.

On Saxon Warriors!

Amazing video! +k pep

Yep... still alive. Only 89 and looking fab-u-lous...



He looked that way back in the 70's when he was in the godfather and doing Barney Miller.




Poor Sal....."Can you get me off the hook.......for old times sake?"
Tom (Robert Duval)....."Can't do it Sallie....."

Abe Vagoda may be alive, but Sal Tessio is most certainly, 'Swimmin' wit' 'da fishes'.

This weekend on ITH (this Sunday @ 7:30 PM ET) we will interview a key player in the weekend's slate of games, as well as welcome Springfield College Head Coach Mike DeLong live at 8:10 PM ET.  We'll be discussing SC's reasoning behind leaving the E8, his views on the "weakness" of the LL given this season's non-conference results, the NCAAs views on the Eastern Region (Coach DeLong is on the championship selection committee), among other topics.  We'll also preview the Union-Hobart game and other Week 6 matchups.

Log on to www.inthehuddLLe.com this Sunday!

KS, you're mistaken, the bottom picture is from Abe's high school yearbook.

And I dug me some Barney Miller back in the day.

Barney Miller had that great bass intro . . . dum, da da dum, da da da da da da dum . .

Ron Glass, Jack Choo, Max Gail . . . Hal Linden, of course.

And I think that what Tom Hagen said was, "No can do Sallie."

Great scene regardless - much of life can be explained by Godfather I and II - particularly office or bureaucratic politics.

My dad got me into Barney Miller.... you know when Jack Soo was on his deathbed, he said to Hal Linden "...must've been the coffee..."

See what happened is...

I have no idea...

If Union doesn't go undefeated the rest of the way out the LL rep is looking at a 7/8 seed in the "East" region...

Not sure if that's directed at Hobart or the LL in general? 

Honestly the Larries D played the Statesmen just as tough and as god as Fisher did - they definitely took care of Webb way better than Fisher.  Hobart just killed themselves with penalties and 5 turnovers (at least we only had two vs. the Cards).  The fact we lost by 3 with 4 picks showed with a better QB Hobart wins this game...

Will be a tough road to hoe the rest of the way - Union back in the drivers seat but the LL is looking like a 7 or 8 seed regardless....

Pep, to be honest, was impressed with SLU, although the Saints have always played well against Alfred on Weeks Field. Phelps was a good recruiter and brought a lot of good athletes to the North Country. Coach Raymond is taking the next step, molding them into a team. SLU is on the rise.

The Saints' defense, after a shaky start, settled down and played solid D against AU, gaining confidence with each series. Pep will be interested to see how SLU and UC match up next week.
On Saxon Warriors! On to Victory!
...Fight, fight for Alfred, A-L-F, R-E-D!
