Yeah, but to some of us, we grew up there, or in the surrounding areas. Birthplace of chicken riggies, tomato pie and halfmoons...so...It’s like south bend. A real dump.
I think the problem with this is that none of us have been in this specific locker room. Maybe there is truth to Pena questioning how good Rickie is. If that's the case and they know that Rickie isnt the guy, then if I was a player I'd want the coaches to bring in a transfer with the best chance to win. We simply just don't know"I don't see anything wrong with how it's handled, conversation over" lol
Have you ever been in a locker room? How this was handled would definitely rub me the wrong way as an athlete.
And Utica Greens, that delicious fiber cuts right through youYeah, but to some of us, we grew up there, or in the surrounding areas. Birthplace of chicken riggies, tomato pie and halfmoons...so...
I'm sure I've shared this previously, but I took chicken riggies and Utica greens to a party at my brother's house in Leesburg, Florida from Delmonico's in Orlando. They were a HUGE hit.And Utica Greens, that delicious fiber cuts right through you
But my point is this kind of plays into the whole "mishandling" discussion. If Fran personally felt that Rickie wasn't good enough, he never should have put that comment out there (and attributed it to Pena). Now, people on here now have a preconceived notion about Rickie being good enough.I think the problem with this is that none of us have been in this specific locker room.

Holland farms, Georgios and Romas. Simple as that.Yeah, but to some of us, we grew up there, or in the surrounding areas. Birthplace of chicken riggies, tomato pie and halfmoons...so...
Georgios greens are legit and romas tomato pie. I might need to make a Utica run soon. I goto gingerbread for half moonsHolland farms, Georgios and Romas. Simple as that.
I grew up in Yorkville. I was too young to cross Oriskany Blvd in the late 70s to Holland Farms. I think I had to wait until I was 12. Then, it was game on. I raised my kids in New Hartford and Georgios was an institution. Roma Sausage in East Utica was my go to lunch spot for subs.Holland farms, Georgios and Romas. Simple as that.
Georgios greens are THE best. Big Jay's has GREAT tomato pie!!~!Georgios greens are legit and romas tomato pie. I might need to make a Utica run soon. I goto gingerbread for half moons
I can definitely agree with that. I really wish we could have seen Rickie play in the spring game...even if it would have meant next to nothing in regards to how good he is, it would have been nice to get a look and alleviate some fan concernsBut my point is this kind of plays into the whole "mishandling" discussion.

I feel like the nuance is lost on some, but I also completely agree with the premise with "if he's not good enough, find someone who is and bring them in". But some players also might feel that Rickie deserves a chance to show what he can do and he's "their guy".
Fran will make mistakes and that's okay. It's not a binary argument.
The only thing I remember about Utica was driving by this place whenever we played them at baseball or basketball. Thought the town was a dump. LOL.Yeah, but to some of us, we grew up there, or in the surrounding areas. Birthplace of chicken riggies, tomato pie and halfmoons...so...
Grew up in New Hartford but moved to Florida a few years ago.I grew up in Yorkville. I was too young to cross Oriskany Blvd in the late 70s to Holland Farms. I think I had to wait until I was 12.

That was on Bagg's Square, if I remember correctly. You were probably on your way back to Rt 12. Bagg's Square is the birthplace of the city, but fell in to difficult times. I think it's better now.The only thing I remember about Utica was driving by this place whenever we played them at baseball or basketball. Thought the town was a dump. LOL.
