Guest Andrew S Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Happy to say that I'm finally gettin out of Western Pennsylvania. Being one of the younger people on this board, I'm just off to college next fall and have settled on Colby in Waterville, ME. If any of you are in the Waterville/Sugarloaf area, feel free to drop me an email as I'd like to gather some names of people to hook up with this next season. Thanks guys, Andrew asherman67athotmaildotcom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 As a Fightin' Bobcat from Bates ('93) I' like to say...Poor Choice! :D Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Eddie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Actually, Colby has a few alumni who crave the carve. Myself and four classmates ('94 and '95) - some of whom peruse this board but I shall leave anonymous - spent many a weekend at the 'Loaf, and create a mini-session wherever we get together and ride. I believe the infamous Erik Beckman is a Colby grad as well. Keep in touch with Jack M. and mirror70; I believe they ride there with more regularity than the rest of us. Good luck, and drop me a line if you've got any questions. Go Mules! (Sorry, Noah) Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go 'Cats -noah No, I wasn't there - too busy being a wide-eyed freshman geek. What happened? Mules might be sterile, but you Bobcats are just a bunch of...well, it rhymes with "wussies" :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 It was a grand affair. Both sides were playing good ball leading up to the game. colby fans on one side, Bates fans on the other. Face and body paint was in play for the guys from Pierce House. at the start of the game, a Mule mascot entered the building, much to the delight of the colby fans, coaches and players. at the first timeout, and many traded chants between sides, One of the Bates students approached center court and got the fans going with the B-A-T-E-S Bates Bates Bates cheer. The mule followed suit, and tried to get colby going. as soon as the mule got to center court, the Bates guy ran up and kicked him in the Ass. He turned around, only to have his helmet ripped off. and under the helmet was a Bates Grad from the previous year, The one and only JJ Cummings, who had started teh Bates cheer. He took off the suit and showed his true colors...a Bates Sweatshirt. Never has Alumni Gym been so loud as when he led us in a second round of B-A-T-E-S BATES BATES BATES. Colby fans were shocked and silent. I have occasionally run across colby guys who were there, and all have acknowledged the greatness of the stunt....

Guest Andrew S Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Haha wow...I never would have even thought that there were actually Colby grads on here. Awesome! And I'm also amazed how much Bates/Bowdoin controversy I've heard in the month or so since I've commited to Colby. I'll make sure to keep in touch with you guys, as it would be nice to have some guys to show me around and ride with once I get up there. Thanks!

Coldrider Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 More than a few years ago we used to hike the then-recently closed Colby ski hill for pow turns on snurfers. Don't know if it's all covered with thistle and puckerbrush now, but it was a reliable powder stash at the time. <img src="http://tinypic.com/5d018p" alt="Spike Eisenman, Beaver Creek, CO."> Was bummed the school decided to close up shop on the hill a few years prior to my arrival: frequent trips to the snowfields at the 'Loaf definitely affected my GPA. Good luck. Have fun. COLDrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
