It will be worth it, or at least they’ll break even, when the A&M sacrificial lamb check clears.

Yes Quann, some of the toppings looked interesting. There was one lonely slice of artichoke that I almost went with, but it looked like it had been sitting too long. The tortellini was good, the Sicilian I would pass on in the future. Hints of Friday Elementary School pizza in the sauce was a turn o...

Second shot in the books. No line at all today, quite different from 3 weeks ago when it snaked upstairs halfway to the Student Union. The store had lots of hockey NC and FF apparel. I mention that because I saw someone in the hockey forum complaining about that. Nothing I liked in my size though , ...

I received my first dose today at the Campus Center. Not my first choice since I live an hour away, but it was the only one I could get after a full week of relentless searching. While I had been going to BB games (until DK finally killed any interest I had left) I hadn’t stepped foot in the CC in n...

Fool me 800 times, shame on me.

First game since the DK era finally ended. Looked like the same old same old. Life is way too short for this crap, OUT. I need a Pioneer Valley fix you’ll find me at the Green River Fest.

I just know the idea that a big east guy named Lappas would get us back on track and we should forego the NIT to fire Bruiser was not a good decision in hind sight. Many of us didn't need hind sight to call that one. Villanova was ready to run Lappas out of town on a rail. Flint was actually growin...

Mmmm, that one looks good too. Montague, a dining mecca, who'd have thunk it?

Here's one I just discovered out in Montague:

The smart -ass making cracks about cockroach-infested apartments in Sunderland (Northwood) would be yours truly.

I never met him, but this is terrible news. I had to go check his FB page to put a face to the name and I feel bad for his beautiful family. Only the good die young. RIP Dude.

I've got a new discovery for you Ed, The Jenkins Inn over in Barre. It's a B&B but they're open to the public for dinner. Only seats 14 and reservations are required. We were told during the warmer weather you better do that 2 weeks out. We also discovered the Eagle Hill School's Cultural Center...

There's not alot going on in Amherst as far as I'm concerned. I'd send our URI fan to Northampton, except getting over there is no fun at all. Listen to Swampy, stay on University Drive. I like the ABC the best, but that's because on those rare occasions I make it to a game I'm travelling alone and ...

I was expecting the worst when I hit that Davidson site, but it wasn't bad at all. The inevitable intolerant bigot, a couple of his friends tap dancing around trying to defend the indefensible, and mostly good stuff that one would expect from a quality School, which Davidson certainly is. I'm more d...

Figured I would mention that Putney has been at the rec center at UMass a ton recently and has been playing pickup games. Just wanted to make a point to post how genuine and humble of a person he is. He has been playing on courts not considered the "top court" and has not been overly cock...

Nice profile of Chaz by Kevin Cullen on page 1 of the B section of todays Globe. Even worked a mention of the Drake into it.

Symphony Garage on Westland Ave is about as easy as it gets in that area. Also works for Fenway, if you don't mind getting a little exercise.
