You never know who'll you'll run into at the Dome

Pretty low-key "glory days:rolleyes:" back in the 70's, 80's for that highly respected sport (hmm), women's basketball. I did play on the same team that SU's first scholarship womens' player did after college, center Sheila Nash and later on SU's center Martha Mogish. Also played with/or against really good players like Vera Jones, Felisha Legette, Sue Ludwig, Christy Palumbo, Beth Mowins (yes the same one), Eileen Emmons & Kathy McInerny (Lemoyne Hall of Fame members), Eileen Smith Edsall (yes, his wife who played for SU's basketball team), Marva Cook, Teresa Quilty, Mary Austin on and on.

The huge rivalry in the late 70's - early 80's in city rec womens A league basketball were the teams sponsored by the Orange Grove and Mrs O'Leary's, who were both owned by the same SU affilated owners Jimmy Lee, Mike Lee, the Hornsteins(?), Mike Bright (SU football player?)etc. We alternated championships for about 6 years (I played for Mrs O'Leary's). Lots of fun , some great basketball, crazy times after the games at those bars and very nice people. Fact most guys don't know: It was the men's NCAA when it took over the womens game in 1982 that changed the womens game to using the smaller "womens" basketball. They did it supposedly to make the womens' game more attractive and more possible for women to dunk.(that is the most coveted basketball skill that guys want to see, I understand) It was a big adjustment for many of us - like shooting a soccer ball after years of using the mens ball (or throwing a baseball after using a softball) but we did it. That said - it was all a looooong time ago.

I graduated from both high school and SU with Felisha.

Class Act.

I had always hoped that she would come back and coach her alma mater.

I saw them too... if that's really her boyfriend, I'm surprised her publicist hasn't gotten in her ear yet. She's Miss America. This guy looks like a bum walking around with her. Total mismatch.

Bro, you've read my mind. I saw them walking around NYC a few weekends ago and brought that up. Was to drunk to remember the answer tho.

Don't sell Dr. Hal short. It was a few more than 102.

Hope no one would nor should ever cut Hal Cohen short. I used to shoot baskets with Marty Headd at old Wadsworth Park and he could knock down a huge amount himself. It was actually a waste of time after a practice doing it on a dare from a few teammates and the most amazing fact about it was the patience my 2 young sons exhibited waiting till we left. (I was at the former North High gym in Syracuse - northeast recreation center I think they called it back then). No way I'd ever even hint that I was better then Hal, Marty - anyone, in fact- so no one should worry- the rebounders actually have the most difficult boring task. :)
 
In this dudes defense I'd bet she has that effect on a vast majority of guys. Plus any good looking woman I've ever seen I always think that about the guy they are with. Like What why him he's nothing special what about me.

So basically you're referring to literally every family sitcom in history?

I don't watch family sitcoms so . . . . . . maybe I'm not sure. Just saying I instantly take a dislike to Hot Chick's boyfriends. I think its natural :D

Saw them at the Cuse / St. John's game. Pretty cool she's attending all these SU games, what a fan!

I met her up in Watertown this past summer before she became Miss America. She was doing a PR tour up here and stopped at Samaritan Medical Center with the former Miss 1000 Islands (who is also hot). I had the privilege of taking them on a tour at the hospital. She actually revealed to me that she's a Michigan fan, since that's where she's originally from. She lost points with me after that conversation, and lost more points after seeing what hangs off her arm. But I certainly wouldn't say no if the opportunity presented itself.
 
I shaved for her this morning

What do you call two beauty pageant girls hanging with your for an hour? That was your opportunity, did you at least ask one of them out or something?

Trust me, the subject came up. Both replied that they have serious boyfriends. Miss 1000 Islands is dating a Fort Drum guy (par for the course up here in the north country), and we all saw who Miss America is dating. So the opportunity vanished. I can still dream though.
