Not sure what year this is (either '85 or '86?), but it's a drunken weekend at the Fredonia College Lodge.

Now that was a great game with a fantastic finish. ~~Peyton~~ Eli finally proved himself on the field tonight.

Yeah, I'm sick of the Patriots but it was nice to root for a team that's an underdog and actually have them win.

Congratulations to the New York Football Giants!

Well, looks like I got kinda busy again.....
