This group is pretty clear about there mission- it's not exclusionary, it's local.  THe statement about nationally recognized etc may we ll be hyperbole, but who cares about that?


Quote from: official websiteWelcome to the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston

Welcome to the official "Gridiron Club of Greater Boston" website. We have been Keepers of the Flame of Boston sporting tradition for over 75 years. Founded in 1932, the Gridiron Club promotes the game of football at all levels and nurtures the ideals of citizenship, sportsmanship, leadership, and athletic and academic achievement. Through its annual dinners and golf tournament, the club carries on its tradition of honoring exemplary players, coaches and officials at all levels of sport.

Keepers of the flame, honoring Americans who fit our sporting tradition.

I think I'm very sensitive to this as I had to live through all the crap that CU teams, predominately Canadians, received back in the day. That's why I mentioned the BC issue. For those who don't know, BC used to be only Americans, and proud of it. Proud to the effect of badmouthing our Canadians. It probably wont ever leave me.

In fact I even get annoyed, when at games like at LP, something comes up about the Olympics and the crowd goes wild with USA, USA... Doing it right in front of our Canadian players. As I said, I'll probably never get over it.

I think I speak for all* of us when I say fuck Massachusetts, fuck Massholes, fuck the T, fuck the Hatch Shell, fuck the Pike, fuck Storrow Drive, fuck the Red Sox, fuck their pink capped fans, fuck the Patriots, fuck their bandwagon fans, fuck the Afflecks, fuck the worst accent on the planet, fuck the ugliest population in the gene pool, fuck Mattapan, fuck Nahant, fuck West Rox, fuck DAW-chest-a, fuck Brockton, fuck Charleston (but not the Chews), fuck Southies with a rusty rake, and wicked fuck Bostonians.

* And if not, fuck you too.



Now then.  Let's go Red.

Well, fuck you too!!  As a history buff, Boston is my favorite place to visit..   The Dead Sox, Patriots, especially Tom "fuckface" Brady do suck!!!   Nothing personal, Greg...  I just LOVE Boston!!!

Jealousy/envy doesn't look good on you.

Though you got one right: f the Afflecks

Hooking

It is possible to take even the best of intentions too far, even awards for excellence and community pride. Expressions of the worst of intentions are becoming increasingly common and increasingly tedious.

Union suffers a blow as Spencer Foo (a junior) is leaving to pursue professional opportunities. Without Foo, Vechionne, Taylor or Skardopolous, hard to see Union as a top-4 team in the league next year.

Reported on Ch6 WRGB tonight - Nick Desimone is leaving Union for the San Jose Barracuda. The flying Dutchmen appear to be leaving a sinking ship.

Sounds like if the Troy Record was delivered to the RPI administration in a flaming bag of poop it would be more welcome these days.  ::popcorn::

A shame that program has fallen so far off TPTB radar.  Cornell doesn't give a huge commitment to hockey, but it beats that shitshow.  Ralph has my sympathy.  ::uhoh::

Thanks.

Of course, it is conceivable that this is Fake News. :-P

The academic issue surfaces

There is a Times Union story in today's edition, too. It is currently behind their pay wall.  I will likely be able to post it later in the week. It is a kinder, gentler version of the first story posted above.

Here's the CHN article and the Schenectady Gazette articles. I couldn't find a Troy Record article.
