  • The Ballad of the Prezidential Three

    Just listen to a story 'bout a man named Prez
    A poor country boy from the town of Horseheads
    And then one day where lookin' where to go
    In comes a letter from the town of Oswego

    Lakers that is. National Championships - zero.

    The next thing you know ole Prez is lookin' fine
    Cheerin' for the Lakers and writing on Brule's dime
    And then in Superior when the Lakers win in OT
    Prez is stuck in the Johnson dormitory.

    Bad weather you see. Flights cancelled.

    Well now its time to say goodbye to the Oswego Lake
    And head on east where a job is his to take
    A guy named Charlie saw fit for him to hire
    The man named Prez who will cheer for Elmira

    Soaring Eagles they are - National Championships zero

    So now you've heard the song of the Prezidential Three
    With a spot of luck tonight, will make history
    In two weeks will he be sitting in the Ridder?
    Or at home saying, "Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda?"

    The chat room opens at 6 PM. Good seats are still available.

              One of the best posts ever. Put a blonde wig on Derrick, and he could pass for Ellie May.

                  Prez's reply:

                  I want Oswego, I need Norwich but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna take either over Elmira, so I can't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

                    Well done Joe !

                    This is a worthy tribute to Prez. It takes a very special fan to pull off what he has, in supporting his three beloved teams with the passion he does.

                    Following our visit to Oswego last year he has favoured the Adrian hockey program with "conditional" support, which I value a great deal. I fear that support may be in jeopardy however.

                    With Adrian's recent victory over Elmira and considering how schedule sets up in Minnie, the Adrian Bulldogs may complete the Prez/trifecta by also eliminating Oswego and Norwich.


                    Not sure what Prez would say, but my guess is that Jed would probably pause from his whittling and give us a big "whheeeee dogggggie"

                          Nope. Of this, I am fairly certain. Besides, if video did exist, I would know exactly who to get even with.
