The Greyhounds need to be put to sleep

BUFFALO - The Loyola Greyhounds are losing 45-17 at halftime to Manhattan...they truly are dogs and will be put out of their misery after these last 20 minutes of game time.

What am I doing here?

BUFFALO - I am not asking that rhetorically, although once I leave the arena and realize that I am in Buffalo, I probably will ask myself what am I doing here.

However, in this case, I made that the headline because if you click it, you will be taken to The Sports Network's MAAC Tournament scoreboard page. Once you are there, click on the links that say "wrap" and you will see my game recaps.

So basically I have found a way to way to attend the games for free and get paid (not much, of course, but it's something) for writing these things. Not a bad scam when you consider I would have still come up here for this even if I had to pay.

What exactly does "endless" mean?

I posted this after seeing an interesting exit sign on I-81 in northeastern Pennsylvania on my way up to Buffalo. Take a listen.

On the road to Buffalo

Well, I am about to get in the car and head on up to Buffalo. I may or may not put some audio posts up here along the way...depends on how much traffic I hit ; )
