Season's Over

[Give My Regards]

I suspect there are some Eastern European sports we would not want to watch.  Bear-baiting and baby cage wrestling come to mind.

My people have many fine attributes but we are not aesthetically subtle.

You are not big fan of buzkashi? Like hockey, only with goat, not puck.

N-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h

betting russian tennis is keeping me sane

Good lord, we are an eclectic bunch, aren't we?

I finally found the perfect item to honor the 2020 playoff season.

They should make a corona patch at that cool Placid sweater place.

This morning while dss28 and I were getting our morning walk in at Commodore Barry Park, we noted that the ballfield had recently been mowed, but not all of it - the center third or so had not been done. Twenty minutes later, a guy drove onto the ballfield inside a large industrial mower and started making a circuit to finish the job. Fighting back tears, I half-heartedly chanted, "You're not Dave!"

I really &*%>ing miss hockey.

There's something wrong with me. I don't miss sports at all.  It's like a spell's been broken.

I'm sure I'll be back whenever Cornell hockey returns (October probably,  October 2021 hopefully) but I gotta say, and this is a big surprise, I don't miss sports one bit.

This could just be the relief of a Mets fan not having to suffer.

But this was gonna be our year!!!

That stupid, irrational optimism is in reference to the Mets. My Cornell hockey optimism is reasonable and measured.

This year had already ended when Thor tore his  ulnar inevitable ligament.  We're not missing anything.

And this morning as I passed a woman on her riding mower, I found myself thinking "You're not Dave!"

You suck, Beeeej.  ::bang::

I've gotta plead ignorance to the "You're not Dave" cheer - assuming it's a zamboni reference.  Can someone fill me in?

The Lynah Faithful typically greets the ice-resurfacer during his first lap during intermissions by screaming "ZAAAAAAAAM----BONI!!!" as it passed by, followed by a chant of the driver's name: "DAVE! DAVE! DAVE! DAVE!"  At road games, the Cornell section would do the same, but follow with a derisive (but good-natured) "YOU'RE NOT DAVE!  YOU'RE NOT DAVE!" chant at the arena's driver. I'm pretty sure "You're not Dave" also happens when there is a substitute driver at Lynah.

There was a time when the back of the Olympia machine had the first names of the rink staff painted on it, so after it passed by, the chant was reading it: "GENE, PHIL, DAVE, ART!"
