Velveeta is orange.

RichS · January 23, 2006, 03:18:13 PM

I can confirm that. My wife just made grilled cheese sandwiches recently with Velveeta, not one of my favorite "foods" and it definitely looked like "Syracuse Orange" not "Clarkson Gold."

:-D

wait a sec...as a netminder, you have the perfect opportunity to meet him.

Trip him....gently of course...as he skates near the crease. That's what I often did, and am proud to say, rarely got called.

Either way, it tastes like Schenectady.

That probably wouldn't have gone over well since he was on my team. He was almost always a forward, so he never was very close anyway. If he shows up next week I will ask him. I have been wearing a mesh practice jersey since it has been pretty warm this year (even most of the indoor rinks have pretty big temperature differences), but maybe I will throw on my new Chabot jersey next time.

no way man...I've been to Schenecta-@#$% as my Union buddies used to call it years ago and Velveeta is delicious compared to that.

Please...don't mention Troy next...lol

Ah, finally something that Central NY and the North Country can agree on... dissing the Capital Region.

Can't we all just get along? ;-)

RichS · January 23, 2006, 03:44:53 PM

ah come on...everybody knows us goalies don't play with a full deck. So next time he screens you on a point shot, skate out, get in his face and then ask about the jersey.

Where do you play?

RichS · January 23, 2006, 03:49:56 PM

well, it's a respectful diss from me. Back in '74 after Tech absorbed a 9-3 thrashinfg at HFH, I nearly had to spend a night on a park bench in downtown Troy.

But that's a story for another day. Maybe next month in Albany. :-D

Good point. I just play pick-up rec games in Plattsburgh and Chazy, NY right now. Would like to get into a "B" league, but at the moment all of the teams are set for goalies. I have only been playing regularly for a year, but I played occasionally a few years back in Utica on nights when there was only one goalie. Always wanted to play hockey growing up, but played basketball whole life. Much cheaper. Played street hockey often as a kid and was always goalie for that so decided to stick to it when I started playing for real. I like the challenge of being the last resort, especially on break-aways. Wish I could have afforded real hockey when I grew up. Also, not too many opportunities in S.E. Connecticut in the '80's.

[quote KeithK]Yes, third jerseys that will be auctioned at the end of the season. So really no different in principle than the alternate jerseys that we wore not too long ago, except that Clarkson has worn these more than once.[/quote]

And, BTW, those "third jerseys" of ours were also butt-ugly. Makes me glad we don't tinker with the design on a regular basis.

[quote Trotsky][quote billhoward]Pass that along to the football team.[/quote]
Got that right. There was a time when the CU football jerseys looked great. I don't know how they got "black" out of "Carnelian red and white."[/quote]

With the exception of Princeton's helmet, Ivy League football uniforms have gotten lamer and lamer over the last 15 years. I miss the diagonal-striped crew P on the Penn helmet, the coat of arms on the Brown helmet, even the crazy D-in-the-front for Dartmouth.

Useless FYI: Velveeta was invented (do you "invent" cheese?) in Orange County, NY.

That explains the color.

RichS · January 23, 2006, 05:12:16 PM

You answered your own question...read the label and you'll see it's not "really" cheese. Something tells me you knew that already...:-D
