Not exactly but a little known prep school in our backyard is known for the quality and number of running backs it has produced.
I remember when Milford Academy was first getting started. No one in the small upstate NY town of New Berlin was sure about the location in their town. Townspeople, if I recall correctly, [...]

Facebook, MySpace and the College Athlete

I am not a huge fan of Facebook or MySpace but I do have profiles on both. I don’t sit and regularly check them as my teenagers do. I do regularly check my teenagers’ profiles, though. The problem is a lot of teenagers and early 20s kids don’t get that people other than your “friends” [...]
Election Night Television Recommendation

Should you be tired early this evening of hearing about the lines voters don’t want to wait in (this is a small price to pay for the type of society we live in), the faulty machines that are being used (I am really hoping this doesn’t make big headlines), or how close or not close [...]

Yes, I am off on a road trip at 7 am tomorrow morning. My kitchen table looks like it is time for a college visit so…
… The soon-to-be 18 year old and his 14 year old brother and I head west along the Southern Tier Expressway tomorrow morning. Initial destination - SUNY-Fredonia. The high school [...]

No, not the kind where the whole family comes into town. October means family weekends at the various colleges my older children attend. That also means - ROAD TRIP!
This weekend is family weekend at the University at Buffalo. My 21 year old son is a student at UB. He is also president of True Blue [...]

It is homecoming weekend in Morgantown, West Virginia. I remember the homecoming parades and big football games when I spent three years in Morgantown in the early 80’s. I remember the floats and the celebrations and the Pride of WV marching down the street. This year’s homecoming opponent is Syracuse and you can see the [...]

I typed up this blog entry yesterday before heading out for Mass but imagine! My luck with computers and it is off in cyberspace somewhere but not on my blog.
I spent Saturday watching a number of college football games. The one of most importance to me, though not by any means the most exciting - [...]

No, I am not going to write about every week of college football. I am, though, going to watch every week of college football. The first weekend of college football snuck up on me. I knew it was coming but it was also Labor Day weekend. I was scheduled - from a commitment made back [...]

Yes, as I indicated yesterday, last evening was the opening “day” for the 2008-2009 college football season. Being a college football fanatic, I am thrilled that it is back and had a hard time concentrating on the DNC last night as I flipped between three games on my television. I am sure that between the [...]
College Football at Last

I know that it doesn’t seem all that long ago that there were the usual season-ending complaints about the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) and a National Championship game, but to those of us who love college football, these last eight months have been very long.
I am a college football fan. I grew up, as most in [...]
