Thanks CHUCK!! It's good to know people like YOU. Tell your wife I said HELLO!! I'm home now working part/time waiting on an oppurtunity to come along. I need to track down some more game film.
I see you're doing the PBL Weekly now, keep up the good work! Whens the next one going to come out? Its been a few weeks since the last one was released.
From what I hear, most of the glass was put into a garbage can while cleaning up the court and by the time the game started back up, the garbage can was nearly empty as many of the fans found it. Thanks for the many pictures, it's a game that I'll never forget.
wtf, i can't send you a message because your "status is set to away". seriously? knock that off. you do not want me posting what i have to say as a comment for all to read! :) i'll try you again later....
Seems like we're getting back on track (Hopefully)! Gotta get one more Saturday!! I was also wondering, if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me the excess photos of me that don't make the Albany Pats' wall of photo fame?
