Kids today dont know how easy they have it!

Are you kidding?? Even the NCAA knows they can't handle the current schedule and need to cut it back more - to just 24 games

Ah, the exhilaration of emailing a bunch of people using one address...the appreciation I felt when people were kind enough to email me personally to tell me how stupid I was rather than send it to the whole LISTSERV...truly a magical time.

Well, like a magician I don't like to give up my secrets, but I guess I will this time

I was looking at this site and this site.
and found this page
I wanted to see if I could find a bigger picture of this
and came across this.

BTW, I think the Oswego one came first (based on the what IMO is clearly a Laker uniform) and since the internet was still in its gestation stage (Arpanet, BITNET, CHATDISC, etc) back then I am more baffled as how it quickly it got to Murrayfield, UK - both events were on Nov. 1977.

Heck BITNET didn't start until 1981!!

The More Than Scores article is the much better of the two.

That would take Utica a full decade to reach that many road games....

This is interesting because it's a drawing done by someone pretty talented.
I doubt he knew it was being used by multiple parties. Looking closer it looks like a Minnesota North Stars player in the foreground and maybe a Blackhawks player behind him. Logos hidden for obvious reasons.

The March 7, 1981 Plattsburgh State - Oswego game may have been one of the most exciting D2/3 hockey games ever played. With everything at stake, the Cards scored 4 unanswered goals in the 3rd period in front of a hostile OU crowd at Romney to give Plattsburgh their first-ever NCAA Final Four appearance. It was something I'll never forget !

Hockey Cardinals head for Oswego

Cards hold winning hand

PSUC icers realize destiny with Oswego rematch

What I remember about that game as a student....

I couldn't get in! Sold out!

Who here remembers any Platty team that had penalty problems? Hammond thought so! 25 minutes per game ave, really?
