Jeff From Syracuse

He was representing the Bowls and therefore came off as VERY outdated.

After Caparelli’s interview on Split Zone Duo last bowl season, I was horrified his name came up.

I guess the Berbers should be on alert next.

I have a manuscript I’ve written and am editing, hoping to publish, about the 147th New York. My interpretations of their fight differ from his!

Rules.

@edsbs.bsky.social I was at a spring training game yesterday. Home plate ump had veneers you could probably see from center field. He also fist pumped when a challenged strike was upheld.

Urbana and TJ have solid marching band programs.

Cuse had a WR from Middlestown who, in 2014, had perhaps the worst drop I’ve ever seen.

What HS are they playing? Hung out with a guy from Frederick County in college.

You have to drive 45 minutes for a scrimmage!?

This doesn’t fit the prompt, but a car in my neighborhood has the randomly assigned played MST 30##. So close to randomly delightful.

Related. Ian Toll’s trilogy on the Pacific War absolutely rips. Dan Carlin cited it frequently in his Japan series a few years back.

And do you see any Zeros up there? You do not!

Scheduled for 9. Training run or a very quirky race distance?

The worst hangover I’ve had in years to never need to work again? Sign me up.

I thought it, but didn’t say it. Fortunately, I’m from one of the neighboring counties.

JEB Stuart’s brief appearance in the 1993 film Gettysburg is overshadowed by shockingly bad fake facial hair.

@edsbs.bsky.social I’m glad I’m not the only person whose benchmark for “bad fake beard” is Gettysburg.

3 x 3 is a travesty but that ruled.

The camera being on the penalty box side and therefore Bennett being framed against the action is unintentionally cinematic.

The stick carnage this period is immense.

I will miss the Olympics. I will not miss the Xfinity fear gremlin Pixies cover ad.

Tom Wilson is going to do something deeply stupid.

I’m not a hockey diehard, but I’ve seen a lot. That was one of the best individual goals I’ve ever seen.

Wasn’t expecting to see Emory Upton as someone’s avatar in this thread.

The greater EDSBS ecosystem seems to like Philly. If I post about my weather, will it be like the call HR meme?

Is he a 1st year scholar, or is he in line to be 26-27?

One of those moments where you wish you hadn’t seen it already so you could relive the surprise again.

@pftompkins.bsky.social Even years later, I can’t watch international events without thinking “The Canada”, thanks to that ad read you had for Spontaneanation that the advertiser never corrected.

Insert blowout joke

Mees was the color commentator for West Virginia’s TV coverage of the 1987 game in the Dome, and I’ve never been able to figure out why.

St Bona had a lot that I was looking for academically out of high school, but I was put off by the extremely rural “all we do here is drink” culture it seems to have.
