Great White Buffalo

First of we have another addition to the ongoing video blog done by sophomore face-off specialist Mike Santisteban:



Great job as usual by Mike. That's sophomore midfielder Angus Rodriguez getting his groove on at the end of the video. He'll be appearing in next seasons "Dancing With the Stars".


There is no easy way to describe Saturday's loss. I'll be the first one to point the finger at myself. For the second time this year we allowed a team to score 10 or more goals. As one of the leaders on defense this year I made it my goal to keep opposing teams under 10 goals to give us a chance in every game. After an initial slip up against Farmingdale, we had a nice stretch going of 9 games in which we held to that goal. Against Brockport we failed to do our job as a defense and for that I apologize.


On a lighter note, all is not lost at Plattsburgh. Our hopes for a playoff berth are still very much alive. Fortunately for us our future lies solely in our hands. With three games remaining against Geneseo, Oneonta and Cortland we still have the chance to be the number one seed if we win the remainder of our conference games.

This week we get a slight break from SUNYAC competition as we head down to Massachusetts on Wednesday to take on Williams in a rematch of last years 17-15 thriller.

The Celtics ripped my heart out for the tenth time this year. Speaking of hearts, if you want to read a real tear jerker (yeah I said it, big whoop want to fight about it) of a story check this bad boy out. It's about a father and son team that run marathons together, literally. Real inspirational stuff.

The writer, Gary Smith, is an absolute genius. He was the one that first brought media attention to a mentally challenged man that worked with a high school football team in South Carolina. Maybe you've heard of him? They made a movie about his life. His name was Radio.

Saw this bad boy in VH1's top 40 one hit wonders of the 90's.

Keep on keeping on.
