Talk about being tone-deaf to where they live, one of the poorest cities in the country. That's a Ferrari to a lot of people.

I think he's just giving his boy Ray a good ribbing for being cheap/frugal. Seems innocuous to me.

If only our team had more a**holes on it, then we'd truly have character and be able to win the hockeys.

TrueBlue has a nice chart that might help you figure out who the biggest a-holes in the league are.

I know you're being sarcastic, but...

 

Teams with players who are real dickheads tend to do well. You always hear the cliches like "tough to play against", "plays on the edge", etc to describe guys like Chelios, Marchand, Messier, Howe, Shanahan, Pronger, Chara...

 

The only time nice guys survive in this game is if they're really damn good. Remember when the Sabres were good? Those guys were no angels.

Meh.  Nothing wrong with some ball busting.

Okkaayyyy... but that doesn't really have anything to do with why the current iteration of the sabres suck.

They're playing in Horseheads this summer at the, uh, Horseheads Ampitheater. It'll be in the round.

 

(Amphitheater? Really?)

For the past couple of years I've been pretty dissatisfied with my career choice. Probably more than dissatisfied, but I'll leave it at that. Long story short, I opted to attempt a career change into academic advising/counseling. After trying for about a year to get a job, it became apparent I needed a different degree and more directly applicable experience. So back to grad school I go. I have officially accepted an offer at Ohio University, where I will be pursuing an EdM in College Student Personnel. While there, I'll be working as a graduate assistant in their Student Advising Center, which includes a full tuition waiver and a generous (as far as these things go) stipend. I'll be getting perfect experience for the career I'm pursuing, and incurring minimal additional debt as a bonus (about $7k total over the next two years for mandatory fees & health insurance).

 

Walking away from something I've been working at since 2008, in a field where I now have six years of work experience, with a half-written dissertation to boot, is easily the hardest thing I've ever done, but I'm certain it's the right move for me. For the first time in my life I'll be moving out of the Buffalo area and to a place where I know literally nobody, which is both exciting and a bit scary, but I'm pretty stoked to finally be on the right path and ready to tackle the impending challenges. Offer accepted, lease signed, moving in August. It's a great feeling. Onward!

Bailing on the dissertation? You sound like me :lol:

And the population of Sabres fans in Ohio goes up by 1!

 

Sounds like a pretty sweet gig at OU. It's neat that most places you go in Ohio, everyone knows UB because of the MAC. Obviously OU will be no exception.

You're gonna love Ohio, congrats man! Don't sweat not knowing people, meeting new people may just be the best part.

 

I still fully expect you to make the drive for the SS game next year though
