Big Blue Huddle

Welcome aboard Chief. Myself, I am 63 so we are from the same generation. I became a die hard when my beloved Dodgers, up and left us, after that, it was always and still is always, Giants.

I also loved to cruise. We try for (hopefully) one a year, as my wife is still working (for the NYC school system). We just got back from a Baltic cruise on the Jewel a few days ago.

Hey Pat. Is that your High School gratuation picture?? It's been a while since we met, but that is about how I remember you. Now, me, of course, have aged about 25 years in a 10 year span. 
I am truly looking forward to talking Giants football with you again.

Just to add to what Rich has already said. This has been discussed among the moderators for a while and we feel it is a win win situation. With Pat, we would gain a valuable insight into football and the Giants,a nd she would gain a message board that has no equal in knowledge and discussion of the Giants.
Let me reassure anyone that nothing will change here. Our board will remain the same, and we will go on, just as we have always done for the past two years. We will not allow anything to change from the way we conduct ourselves, and we would hope to gain more valuable posters, who would share our passion for the Giants and discussion of said team. If anyone doesn't know Pat, she is a class act. We used to post together on a message board many years ago, and her knowledge of football and the Giants is second to on one.

But,a s we have said we would always do here, we will do nothing without letting the membership know about it first, and let everyone have some input.

Again, if this goes thru, things here will remain the same, only, hopefully better. We have worked very hard to make this place a class forum, and we would never do anything to jeopardize that.

This will be my first miss in many years. Stupid late start to the season. Screwed up all my plans. 

Guys

I was scheduled to bring cups, napkins and some paper towels. Some one will have to pick up these instead.

You all can probably forget the Kosher Hot dogs

Guys, I am afraid I am going to have to back out of the BBQ and geting up to Albany. We have certain family obligations that we just found out about and we are going away on vacation a couple of days later, and it will be jiust too much to get away at this time.

I can't tell you all how much this saddens me as I so look forward to meeting all my old friends and meeting some of the new people who plan on coming.

Guys, I will be thinking about you. have a great time and be sure to post some observations for the rest of us.

I am not a local, but looking at a map, you should be able to access the Northway (87) from Wolf's road.

From the North: Take Interstate 87 (Northway) south to Exit 1E. Off the exit, proceed to Interstate 90 east (Albany/Boston). Take Exit 2 (Washington Avenue) which leads right into the University at Albany campus. Follow University Drive (heading south) 3/4 of mile to Dutch Quad parking lot (public) and one mile to Recreation & Convocation parking lot (Giants/VIP).




and as soon as you exit, the university is right across the street. If you enter the university, just follow the route around looking for the tennis courts. You will come to the parking for people coming to camp. There will be some kids collecting parking fees, $5.00. Park anywhere. If you miss our group, you just need to walk all the way by the tennis courts, to the big dorm buildings. They usually have a huge blow up Giants figure there. Just go up the steps, you will see a huger tent selling all kinds of Giants stuff. Go thru that, and the fields will appear.
Again, if you are meeting the group before, then it's no problem. if not we will give you a cell number to call to see where most of us are.

As far as the BBQ is concerned, I don't know the streets, but it is about 5 minutes from the practice field. I'm sure some one can give you directions.

If any locals can correct my directions, jump right in. SUNY Albany is pretty easy to find, and the traffic in people coming to camp usually points the way.

Bring some things to get autographs as many of the players will sign, and bring a camera so you can take pictures of us. 

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving
each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife
to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting
to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of
paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."
He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and
he had missed his flight. Furious,he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he
noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Hey Java man, check those awards again. I did make mention of the award for alligator juice from the weezer. Try regular and forget the decaf.

Put me down for the Kosher Hot Dogs. If I am the only one eating the Kosher Chicken, forget it. I'll bring something from home and we can just warm it up. I'd be afraid to have raw chicken out that long.
You can also put me down for the Paper Plates, Cups, Napkins and Paper Towels.

 

#89, class all the way. One of my all time favorites, and I go back a long way. Not like todays' clowns who have to tell everyone how great they are. Mr Bavaro said little but spoke volumes on the field with his play.

OK Cid.

Service????

I became confused when I heard these terms with reference to the word "service."

Internal Revenue "Service"

U.S. Postal "Service"

Telephone "Service"

Cable "Service"

Civil "Service"

Customer "Service"

State, City & County Public "Service"

Government "Service"

This is not what I thought "service" meant. But today, I overheard

two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to

"service" a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus.

Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.

I hope you are as enlightened as I am.
