    .. sorry to hear this… but not too unexpected…

    yeah… although things are relative…
    we did see some good football on the field at Carter Stadium …
    PSU, FLA-Gatorholes and the local rivalries come to mind first…

    My high school senior daughter — who’s gott State on her list of “possibilities” next year — asked me a couple of weeks ago while we were watching the State-Syracuse game from Section 9…
    “Was it like this when you went to school?”

    I thought to myself… hmmm… exactly how much do I tell her??? then proceeded…

    “Well… there were free buses back and forth from campus … so you didn’t have to drive and park… and you see the endzone and the stands to your left…. that was a “grass hill”… and if you were a student and did not have a ticket.. you could come in that gate up there… with a “cooler” and a blanket and a date and “whatever else” you wanted to bring in… and sit on that grass hill for Free… and watch the Football game…” …

    She said….

    “Everything has changed since then… hasn’t it?”

    and the only answer must be…

    “… in more ways than one…”

    ==================

    Mr. Dog has “better” stories than I do… but most all of them he might need to keep unpublished…
