Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5214131, member: 27"] I thought I would report what I know about Slippery Rock in this post. I first became aware of Slippery Rock as I suspect most of us did. At the Championship outlet store in Airport Plaza on Route 11 in North Syracuse in the mid to late 1970s. That place mostly sold misprints and overstocks and they seemed to always have a lot of Slippery Rock merchandise. I once bought a grey Slippery Rock sweatshirt there for pennies on the dollar. It was well made and lasted for years. The Slippery Rock logo and name were printed in green and I suspect we are going to see green uniforms from these people on Wednesday. I went to the Syracuse Pitt game on Thursday and when I was driving south down I79, I saw an exit for Clarion. Think it was listed as a stop off I80. Nice. But maybe two exits further south, there was an exit (maybe two) for Slippery Rock. What the hell? I am picturing that we booked Clarion and the Clarion AD was so excited, he or she got on the phone to the Slippery Rock AD to tell them about it. And the SR AD wanted a piece of the action and immediately booked the other exhibition slot. Maybe these stellar higher education institutions are just very tight? Weird coincidence. The other thing I know about Slippery Rock is that I just looked for a cool famous alum I could use for the prediction thread. And there are none. Slippery Rock has produced no one of note other than C Vivian Stringer, who I guess was a great women's hoops coach but had already been taken in the prediction post and who I couldn't use anyway, given that she preferred to be called C Vivian Stringer. What could the C have stood for that was so much worse than Vivian? Why not just go with Vivian? Or better yet, CV Stringer? Names are important and you can't screw up your name this badly and not face ramifications for it. What the hell Slippery Rock. Already taken C Vivian Stringer. Is that all you got? Come on. Do better. Someone from there should have invented a better tractor or plow or a better fracking method. Anyway, those are my thoughts on Slippery Rock. I bet they will be hungry and play us though. It is a hard scrabble life in the middle of nowhere in western PA.
