SUNY Oswego makes it to SI.com

Yes ladies and gents, the famous bagel throwing hockey fans made it to Sports Illustrated.

You can read all about it/see a picture Here - I won't spoil it for you.

I will say this, however - the article isn't entirely correct. We didn't just come up with this whacky idea for no reason, or because of a shutout. Oswego-Plattsburgh is THE SUNY hockey rivalry. Whenever Plattsburgh scored their first goal against Oswego during the games at Plattsburgh, they students always threw Tennis Balls onto the ice, because Oswego's away Uni's are all green. We wanted revenge, Plattsburgh's mascot is a Cardinal, and bread doesn't fly well. Enter the bagel.

How do I know this? I was there. Not often you can say that for something, but I still remember little Joey Storch and I stealing bagels from the dining hall to toss. Good times.

GO LAKERS! Section KAH lives on...

Mike makes it on ESPN

No, it wasn't for a unique sporting accomplishment.

Mike, being the Hockey nut he is, always reads and occaisionally writes to John Buccigross, the Hockey guru and utility TV man at ESPN (he has been pinch hitting on Baseball Tonight). Despite what you may think of writing to columnsts and their responses, Bucci has been one cool dude - not only does he post and reply in his column, but he also will return other interesting e-mails that don't make the column.

You can find John's latest column (and Mike's mention) Here .

Thanks to Bucci for throwing Mike in the column and keep an eye out for your favorite NHL team to open camp in September and drop the puck in October.
