Hear, hear! ORDA really is the archetype to which all small-town development authorities should aspire. I was involved in an event with the Russian national baseball team a few years back (yes, they exist!), and, bearing in mind that this was some random weekend in mid-July, they were:

- absolutely packed to the brim at every hotel in the area
- absolutely packed at Whiteface, of all places, with folks just there to sight-see
- rotating tours through the Olympic Center and its arenas non-stop
- hosting a world-class Aerials exhibition
- prepping for an upcoming Ironman event
- still able to give us VIP treatment throughout the weekend, including a banquet at the Olympic Museum with a bunch of local dignitaries (I'll forever cherish the semi-drunken pictures my friend and I took posing in front of one of Jim Craig's goals from '80)

And of course, the food and drink situation is pretty fun, too. It's actually kinda sad for someone born and raised in Plattsburgh, since it really serves as Exhibit A of a town finding success by promoting its own virtues rather than constantly and clumsily trying to cast itself as some kind of half-hearted Burlington West :o

Agreed. I went last year (regardless of whether Platty was gonna be there or not) and I had a blast. It was awesome to see Stout, Gustavus, and Hobart for the first time (missed the NCAA game at Platty when Hobart came two years ago, had to work). It was even greater to see the difference between the west and east style of play. During the finals, we had seats behind the Neumann players' moms, and they pretty much adopted us as Neumann fans; we had no choice :p They were great, and a great atmosphere, Stout brought a boatload of fans, and apparently they can outdrink any fans in D3:D

Not good when Colgan is considered an upgrade in service...:confused:

The article did not represent the area very well - the quotes were a bit surprising and the "voting process" was less democratic, more WWE...:eek:

Not sure that was a great choice. The adequacy of Colgan's training of pilots has been questioned in the investigation of last year's crash in Buffalo.

Not that it presents the area much better, better here is some background.

Some people do draw the line at stepping in a Cessna where the 9th passenger sits in the co-pilot's seat, although having done that for years on Cape Air to and from Nantucket during the summer it's a great view...larger planes could/should bring more folks to the area especially in the winter months....

Gosekville might have just taken over as my favorite name for the student section.

It's right up there with the The Woodshed.

Thanks Derek. Just seeing those pictures just reminded me of the shots you always see on the Duke campus the day of the Carolina game. They call that Krzyzewskiville, and he always comes by with pizzas and snacks for the students out there.

I realize Gosek does't make a 7-figure salary, but I wonder if he brings by some candy for the masses or at least says hi. Maybe a a player walk through en route to the locker room.

Also, the Woodshed was my idea also, so I guess I'm on a roll.

It's still Colgan, regardless of whether they operate under a contract with United, America West (the real owner of USAir), or Continental. Same planes, same pilots, different paint job.

Last thing that line needed was pizza - Ed can start a trend with "healthy snacks"...
 
Re: Oswego State 2009-10 Regular Season Thread

Don't forget Paternoville outside Beaver Stadium before PSU (the other PSU...) games, that's been going on for a long time.

When in Lake Placed for Div III weekend a must-stop is Lake Placid Craft Brewing:

http://www.ubuale.com/

Great beer, good food, nice atmosphere. OK, they really make their beer in Plattsburgh, but in this case even I will make an exception. Just check my basement supply of Ubu and 46'r Ale. :D

Hey now.

I came up with a list of about seven different names and the Woodshed II was one of them:cool:.

Clearly you rode off my coattails;)

Prez...I think you may be right. I may have seconded that suggestion. Just can't find the discussion on this thread.
 
Re: Oswego State 2009-10 Regular Season Thread

Luke Moodie has been named the SUNYAC Rookie of the Week. He is the second Laker to win the award this season (Whitelaw has won it three times).

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Luke Moodie, Oswego Freshman Forward (Burlington, Ontario)
Moodie registered two goals and an assist in the Lakers' 5-2 win over Cortland on Friday. Moodie assisted the game's first goal on a power play before scoring a power play goal of his own in the second period. His second goal of the contest came 1:33 after Cortland made the score 4-1. Oswego State improved to 21-1-0 overall and 13-0-0 in the conference with the win.

Also wanted to note that a Laker has won either Player of the Week, Goalie of the Week, or Rookie of the Week in 9 of the 12 weeks the awards have been given out this season. Pretty impressive season for Oswego.
