I think I speak for all of us here, Dickie, when I say:  Um, what?

Chips on the shoulder?  That's you "beeejy".

After all, this is "your" site; I'm only a visitor and you can post anything you like and call it "fact" and whatever I post is dubious obviously.  lol....

I said that Berman is prone to hyperbole on many topics, as anyone who has seen him over the years recognizes.  Sure, I'll grant that the place may very well have been "packed" for cornell games in the late 60s and early 70s as Al said and perhaps for Harvard games when Berman was there.

But no way did they have more than decent attendance for the games I listened to or for most other games.  I talked to the Clarkson broadcasters and the players I knew in the former case and my friends who were Brown students at the time who attended many games in the latter.

If you don't want to accept that, fine, but it's just another example of you rejecting out of hand whatever I post here.  I'll be at Clarkson vs Yale Saturday night.  If I offer comments on that, I suppose you'd doubt their veracity as well.  Very "legal" of you Mr. Barrister.

Enjoy the view from your "corner."

Well, this started out as an interesting thread, anyway.

I noticed we made it again today with the close call with Syracuse last night.

OMGROFLMAO, Rich, that's exactly how it works!!

You said he was "not correct" when he spoke of packed crowds at games he attended.

I don't doubt the veracity of anything you said about what you personally observed or what friends told you - in fact I accept wholesale everything you said about what you personally observed and what friends told you.  I also can't imagine any reason to doubt your accounts of games you plan to attend in the future.  I've never said otherwise, and any impression you have to the contrary probably means you should get your corrective lens prescription checked before reading any more of my posts, lest you continue to see things that aren't there.

And yet, your knowledge of some of the games while Berman was at Brown still has no bearing on whether some games he attended might have had packed crowds.

Honestly, I don't understand where you get this stuff you keep attributing to me.  You don't have to be a lawyer to understand English.

Grrrr, they seem to block all sorts of linking to it. I'd host it myself, but I don't care enough.
