Flannery ejection

If you read this blog, you probably also read Crossports, and saw the poll regarding the greatest moment in Hart Center history. Naturally, this comes after a previous thread, maybe this summer, on the "most memorable" moments in Hart Center history. Crossports is nothing if not for recycled topics.

In case you're wondering, I voted for the March 14, 2003 PL Championship game vs. American. Without a doubt, the most electric I've ever seen the Hart. I loved the Navy game in 2001, and the mid-year win against AU in 2003 (Cresnik missed three at buzzer), but walking into the gym for the 2003 PL Final was simply amazing.

Nice of Holty to include in the poll Bucknell coach Pat Flannery's ejection on January 18, 2008. I wish I was there, but could only watch from afar on ESPU. Here are a few TV pics to remind you of that day. BTW, that's a bloodied and bruised Andrew Keister asking, "What's going on?" as the crowd roared watching Flannery's meltdown.




Job hunting!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you! I know a few of you still check in here every so often. It's been a disappointing start to the men's and women's basketball campaigns. The ladies are 1-9? What the heck is up with that?

While those teams are hot topics on Crossports, I've been busy preparing for a job hunt. After relocating here in September of 2007, I was impacted by my company's November reduction-in-force. It was shocking, and unfortunately, opportunities here seem to be few and far between. However, I have no plans to move, so the job search is on here in the Triangle. If you happen to learn of mainframe application development opportunities here (COBOL, JCL, DB2, MVS, CICS), or have IT contacts here, please drop me a line at jstrack59 at yahoo. Thanks to those of you who've already contacted me. I greatly appreciate it!
