  1. I'm there with you Lana. I moved to OR last fall, but just spent last week in NYC. I forgot how how friggen humid it is back there! So far, I hate to say it, but Oregon summer might beat out Buffalo summers by the lake....
  2. Too bad all those Jest and Giants fans downstate don't think the way you do.
  3. Wow... People from Ohio need to get out more. WAY more.
  4. Yes, I do. Cornell played a very disciplined game (until the end), and the whistles were used sparingly so that the game could be decided on the field. There were no officiating controversies (unless somehow Tambroni called a TO on that last clear and the refs didn't whistle it, but I haven't heard anything to that effect). It was a great game as the lacrosse championship usually is. SU wasn't owed any "favors".
  5. Take your orange colored glasses off dude...his glove was in the crease before the ball went in. Conclusively. You won, stop being an ass
  6. No it wasn't. Really the only problem in that game was Tambroni not calling timeout on the last clear....when the coach has mental breakdowns, so do the players. Great game though....
  7. Wow, I didn't really remember how important Metzellars was to that offense, and how well Kelly really spread the ball out. I hope that Nelson can be a big target. We also need a target out of the backfield....Hopefully Jackson can play that role, and Trent doesn't lock on to 83 and 81. The other thing I thought was crazy was the way that game was coached.....that INT that the Bills had in the 4th quarter, what coach in 2009 would have been throwing the ball there? Steve Young or not, coaches these days would be happy to run the ball and take a punt.
  8. So I heard that the Johnny's sign is gone b/c it was falling apart or something. Also, the Hot Truck owner died, but I think hot truck is still there. I could definitely go for some super chexx at Chapter House. You guys remember the Chariot? That was the best dive in collegetown, but sadly it is no more.
  9. Why is it that every Tebow man-love post starts out with "I'm from Florida, and I think this Tebow guy is the greatest thing since sliced bread!" Oh, I know why. Because the rest of us don't see it through gator-colored glasses, and know that gimmick college QBs don't do well in the NFL. I'll pass on Tebow.
  10. You may hear its the worst....from fans of the other team. I'd probably agree with that. I've worn Bills gear to other stadiums (Oakland and the Meadowlands) that were supposed to be kinda rough, and they really weren't at all. People don't tend to fare so well at the Ralph. I went to a game in Detroit, in their fancy new dome. Great pulled pork nachos....horrible, horrible place for a football game.
  11. ? You do know if you jumped in an inner tube in downtown detroit, you'd float straight to HSBC arena, don't you?
  12. Exactly! Rivers doesn't have a super bowl ring either
  13. Thats not the problem I have....the problem is those huuuuge dell and toshiba laptops that feel like they are made out of enough plastic to build a nice kayak. Those guys just so obviously don't care about having a nice product, its all about what specs they can throw in there. If I want a really powerful machine, I'm fine with a desktop. For my laptop, I want something portable.
  14. The real answer is.... it doesn't matter Seriously, it mattered 5 years ago. But what do you really do on your computer anymore? I'm willing to bet that 95% of computer usage is online, which works from a mac, a pc, linux, even your blackberry. If anyone is still using Outlook, you are doing it wrong. I've used web-based mail clients for pretty much the last decade, and gmail is far more useful than outlook. I'm a software engineer so I probably use more local software than the average person. And I used to care passionately about my OS, but now I feel that any tool I need is available on every platform. I have a mac at home, and a windows machine and a linux machine at work. I use them all equally, and don't really care which one I'm on. I bought a mac laptop for home use because I think they make the nicest hardware. Lenovo has done an admirable job of keeping up IBM's quality, but really nobody else seems to give 2 craps about the quality of their laptops. If somebody does, I'll consider buying a different laptop, but right now Apple is the only company that seems to understand people don't just want a cheap plastic POS.
  15. He'll fit right in in the Ralph parking lot every Sunday evening.
  16. I don't have the actual stats on this, but I feel like last year there were a lot of backbreaking 3rd and long conversions against our defense. (And maybe the year before with all of those bend-but-don't-break drives). If all this guy can do is make it to a QB in 2.5 seconds on 3rd and 10, I think he is an immediate impact player. Whether he matures into what a high 1st rounder should be will take a few years, but shutting down one or two big 3rd down conversions will be the difference between wins and losses next year.
  17. Hmm, did anyone else see Levitre commit a blatant hold on _every_ snap they showed at the senior bowl?
  18. Well, we just replaced probably one of the dumbest O-linemen in the game with what sounds like the smartest in the draft class. Yeah, he isn't an LT, but I doubt the kid is stupid enough to hold out then play like crap.
  19. Think so? I think Sanchez will be a bust, and now they have a need at S, and don't have a 2nd round pick.
  20. Everything. Couple of scrubs, Abram Elam, and their 1st and 2nd. This is a _great_ deal for everyone except the Jets
  21. This was essentially a job interview....if I flew somewhere for a job interview and they took me out to Dave and Busters, I'd have had some big questions about the quality of the company. You don't give someone an option, you take them somewhere that will impress them. Maybe football is a different world because these guys have never had a job in the real world....but somehow I doubt that the cowboys would ever dream of taking a prospect to a crappy chain restaurant.
  22. I thought that the one guy who was saying "the market will decide" was just being smug, but then he followed it up by saying that ticket sales weren't good last year. The guy who was saying "Toronto should be an NFL city, not a CFL city" made no argument other than the implicit "Toronto has the $$ to support an NFL team". What they don't seem to get is that the $$ isn't all it takes....LA has the money to support an NFL team, but both of theirs left. Montreal had the money to support MLB, but they left. Vancouver had the money to support the NBA...you get the picture.
