I think it will be detrimental to Siena's recruiting efforts. For Bob87 and Jon, that's also a "good". I find it pretty interesting that we rarely seem to be recruiting the same kids. You would think we would be looking at similar athletes.

I hope we're not 145!

I'd also heard that water table item, but it seems bogus to me. All of the houses and Western Ave. are all way below the level of that area.

I realize most of you are golfing today, but what's the latest on football? News on upcoming season, league affiliations, stadium, etc.? I couldn't make it to the get together this year.

I wish it had said Albany bound Howard Little.

Even Bob87 is not perfect.

I assume the academics are why he's probably headed to prep school.

If "notorious," which has nothing negative in its roots, nonetheless has come to mean "infamous," what is "notoriety"? One dictionary's definition — "the quality of being notorious" — seems unassailable. So when the writer said it was "not in Thomas's personality to court notoriety," the passage was open to misunderstanding. (Other things made it clear that the writer was paying a compliment.) As a synonym for simple fame, "notoriety" has gained ground. But it's still better used to mean a bad reputation — ill fame. Less room for misunderstanding. I think you meant fame, renown or distinction, which is certainly true.

It bothers me that familiar was misspelled on the home page. I also have reservations similar to Reeders.

Nice post olddog. That was a good synopsis of the situation. I've grown tired of the bickering. We're rivals, each with our own interests and prejudices. I love the rivalry, but I can contain myself at least until October.

It's how I feel most of the time reading the threads by fellow alums. I wasn't an English major, but the grammar and spellin on here isn't the best.

At the banquet, they said we was getting his degree in May.

It was mostly how stupid we were not to participate, now it appears that without us it was doomed to fail. I guess that's complimentary to us after all.

It's close enough to home in Amherst. I don't think they'll bother.

Thanks for the info, we can nserstand where you're coing from.

There are Varsity Club events in other locations. Only $35 goes to VC. $40 goes to Alumni Assoc. Dues. Ask not what VC can do for you...................................

Personally I like the way we've been introducing the team via intersquad scrimmage when the football and/or volleyball team/s were home. We got a bb scrimmage, football, volleyball triple header in one day. Lot's of fun!!

megowe, I encourage all psters to join th Varsity Club.

oooh, Mets? maybe I spoke to soon. Bob87 will roll out the welcome mat, now.

Hear Hear. Welcome to the board, MEGO.

The plan was for the tournament to move around to other venues , not be in Albany very year.

I don't the advantage of playing in it. We're invited to make the gate bigger for Siena? We are already scheduled to play them in Dec. I'd rather just play that game by itself.

It's Utah St., Utah Valley St. isn't it?

It doesn't count as more than 1 game, so that wouldn't be it. We could only be in it once every 4 years and our schedule is mostly complete already.
