***** Chris Ford!...............My dad was a Canisius grad and took me to games starting at a young age. I always had Canisius 1st, Bona 2nd and for some reason, didn't like Niagara.................But, then in 1972, he took me, at nine years old, on my first air flight to go see Niagara play Maryland (McMillian, Elmore) for the NIT championship. I remember him talking to a Niagara alum and they said Yeah, they're rivals locally but when it comes to the national stuff, they root for each other.
