Finally met Wombat. My life is complete salut.WOMBAT, Mod Emeritus wrote:Beer selection was Miller Lite, Yuengling and Natty Boh.
Mission BBQ, great brisket and awesome salmon.
And holy cow, Orry Michael, 2011, had 400 oysters from Connecticut brought in, and damn, those were the biggest, meatiest oysters I’ve ever seen. Hat tip to Orry and many tips to the master shucker who plowed through all of them over a couple of hours.
I hope none of those oysters were harvested downstream of the previous Moderator, but hey, they were great, and he’s mostly disappeared and no longer in Puritanical dictatorial power, so that little tidbit is now very much a distant afterthought.
Passed word tonight to several people about the rebirth here at lummys.
And, I have zero idea why it’s called lummys.
Oh, I have no bleeping clue as to the score. Doesn’t matter. Epstein did have 3 goals.
Finally met hoponboard! Mission accomplished. He’s headed to Albany next week, with a direct Southwest flight to Albany. So, Albany is much easier to get to than that god forsaken gray, wintry depressing hellhole of Syracuse.
Great announcing by some famous dude in the press box.
Dixie was a riot.
Onward to Albany and 2019!

Below are the scrimmage highlights. It was fun to hear Dixie call the proceedings. He even called out Wombat and Cornell Willis.

Freshmen were impressive. Taite Cattoni scored the first goal and Evan Zinn the second---both unassisted. As Wombat mentioned, Epstein had a hat trick---which seemed effortless. Alex Gainey made the stop of the night on a Benson BTB. Alexander Mabbett was so smooth in his passing---looked like a vet. Matt Narewski was super impressive at the X.
As for the vets, Marr and Williams looked in mid-season form. Smith had an outstanding scrimmage. So did Fox. As 16 predicted, Keogh had a breakout performance, including a sharp assist to DeSimone. Prouty started and was excellent with a nice assist to Marr.
Darby started in goal and played the first half. Alumni rarely put a shot on goal. Think he had one save. Giacalone played a quiet third and Gainey had the save of the scrimmage in the 4th.
On to Albany.
