    Onions !!

    I was working at an office on 44th Street. At 11:40 I told the receptionist I was going to lunch and meeting friends so I'd be a little late getting back. I walked to the Garden and scalped a single ticket. At 2:30 I walked back to my office with a smile on my face and a hoarse voice. The...

    OT: basketball drills help

    The above comments/suggestions are great. Make it fun. Keep it simple. I also followed the =/- 30 minuntes of drills focused on the basics (dribbling, passing - including bounce passses - and shooting) and 30 minutes of scrimmage (preferably full court) followed by a game of knockout at the...

    An embarrassment for Louisville basketball

    As a Boomer, with 3 kids born between 1991 and 2002, and as a youth sports coach for 25 years, I completely disagree with the generalization that Millennials and Gen Z are undisciplined and spoiled by their parents and by social media. Every kid is different and my kids and and most of their...

    NCAA Boom

    The Can of Worms that would be opened is not just related to Title IX, although that is a hugh one. How do you compensate only male football and basketball players? You can't. Excecpt for 5 states (TX, FL, TN, WA, NV) professional athletes have to file and pay income taxes, the Jock Tax, in...

    LeQuint Allen is Back

    He always had the option to leave so that is possible. However, since the matter was discontinued two hours before the university's response to Order to Show Cause was due, my guess is that the university agreed to modify its decision (punishment) and LA and his attorney accepted it - I would...

    LeQuint Allen is Back

    The petition filed by LA's attorney has been withdrawn so there is no hearing. (The withdrawl was filed at 1:47 PM today.) It was filed with prejudice so it is over. Most likely that means a settlement has been reached that is acceptable to all parties. This is GOOD NEWS!!!

    LeQuint Allen is Back

    In the supporting petition filed by LA's attorney at paragraphs 34-43 it says that that he was offered a Spring and Summer suspension but it would have meant he would lose his scholarship so he declined. the offer was made in February/March before his hearing.

    RIP Tom Browning

    The Madden's were a big entended family in the New Hartford area but I don't know if there is a connection to Madden Concrete. The father owned a business that installed truck springs - It might have been called "Utica Springs" or something like that. Andy's older brother Chris played...

    RIP Tom Browning

    How about from a few years earlier Dave Cash, Proctor HS Utica? He belongs on your list. (And I haven't even included Andy Madden, from New Hartford who was drafted in the first round by the Red Sox in 1977 but hurt his arm in the minors and never played in the majors.) I think Van Slyke and...

    What are we allowed to bring into the Dome?

    At a Saturday noon basketball game (st. John's ?) in the mid 80s I brought in a bottle of gin, my friend brought 2 bottles of tonic, his girlfiriend (now wife) brought a bag of ice, cut up limes and plastic cups. G&Ts. - we were high class ?? Ahh, the good old days.

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    What matters to Governors and legistators (and all politicians) is not the financial benefit to one school, its voters. They will be worried about losing the votes of Cougars/Beaver fans if they are left without a major conference. They won't risk alienating a large percentage of voters, just...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    There has been speculation by many that Oregon and Washington "are next". But as state schools will the the OR and WA state legislatures/politicians allow Oregon State and Washington State to left without a real conference committment (assuming PAC-12 will be done)? Remember that Syracuse...

    Glad Symir Sat On The Bench All Season

    Symir played great and it was his best game of the season but why do you assume he would have played great all season? At times he has looked lost out there and it takes a while to learn new teammates and a new system. In his 52 games ar Marquette he averaged 1.6 assists per game. You can't...

    My Questions for tonight's Jim Boeheim Show

    This was not the first time "Mike from Durham" called into JB's show. I think when JB won his 900th game "Mike from Durham" called in with his congratulations. "Mike" said JB should thank PJ Carlesimo since a large percentage of the wins came against PJ. (FYI Thanks to SWC since I'm out of...

I played in HS starting in 1973 (I was on New Hartford HS's first team) and played in summer leagues during college, in pick-up games in Africa (80-83) and in a Sunday morning indoor league in Camillus (1983-86) (last one was very physical - I was...

    OT: Local Boy Wins National FT Contest

    No. It was a 5th and 6th grade league on Saturday mornings in the HS. We were coached by the HS players. The games were in the HS gym and and in the old gym. There was an All Star game and we played at half time of one of the HS games. I think I still have the HS program from the game with...

    OT: Local Boy Wins National FT Contest

    NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

    OT: Memories of bad beer

    Great thread. I can tell my class year at LeMoyne based upon the price of Schmidt's at Party Source: Freshman year 79 cents a six pack, Sophomore year 89 cents, Junior year 99 cents, Senior year $1.09. It was awful. We called it "champagne" since it was too disgusting to be called beer...
