Re: Sign Man Says

Sometimes let's just have a cup of coffee or something when you're out here. I love our alma mater but have few connections with real ...

Re: Julius Erving

It doesn't seem that long ago to me and that night was special. Syracuse was on the verge of not only being an Eastern power but a national power. It seemed as if Providence and Syracuse were the teams that believed they were better then us. Well on this night Julius showed everyone he was the best...

Re: Random encounters with Famous People

In a Houston Petco Tracy McGrady was buying a ferret. He looked at me and said "not a word. Not a single word." We laughed and off he went, ferret and all.

Re: FIRE WALT BELL!

Be still my heart! Any win over UConn is a celebration. Pour me another scotch!

Re: FIRE WALT BELL!

I'm a softie at heart. Hated firing an employee. Hated it each of the 2 times necessary. I don't want to fire Bell. Just promote him to spectator. Now.

Re: KAEO: Tre Mitchell

If you were using a cane in 1969 and your still around - you’ve done pretty well. 😁
Some folk are born with great bones.... And some others need a bit of equipment. Thanks for the sentiment. Life is good. Especially for UMass hockey fans.

Re: National Champions 2021!!!

In '69 I attended home game vs St Anselm (UMass won 4-2) . it was the 1st hockey game at any level I attended.
