Jay's VD

So at 501 we thrive on people falling and farting. It is the two funniest things in the world. So anytime i can show you one of these i will. This video below is awesome!!!

Spell Fall: F - A - LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The reason i am posting this video is not because of the actual fall but what occurs during and afterwords. Everyone is watching this kid knowing he is going to fall, look at his eyes widen like he is seeing his first pair of boobs in real life and then you see him get woozy and just go DOWN!!!!! The best part is no one even moves and no adults even go to make sure the kids ok!?!?!?!?!?! But he is a true Champion and he gets back up there.

The Tower

My previous post was about beer and it looks like this one is too, sounds like a problem! Let me try and explain the tower to you all.

Lately 501 and the crew have been gathering at a local watering hole called Rockwells, it is at this Rockwells where they offer the tower. The Tower is a magical device that is filled with approximately 8 beers of your liking. In our case its been Blue Moon. The bartender fills the cylinder up, and then puts it into the base where you, the patron can now serve your self up a nice cold one.

Now you should be asking your self why go through with this Tower contraption, what are the drawbacks, and how much is it. Let me explain the wonders, first a pint of delicious Blue Moon is $5.50 where as a Tower only costs $22.50 for 8, you do the math! So, needless to say your getting smashed!

Sometimes if you pour yourself 5 great pours in a row the tender of the bar gives you a pitcher on the house! I really don't know how Jay swung that one but he did, gotta give the little guy credit when credit is due!

We now fast forward 3 to 4 Towers, and explain to you the drawbacks like I promised I would. First your completely mangled, some many not consider this a drawback but some would especially since you went there on a Sunday with work in the morning. Second, everyone is signing ridiculous things on each others t-shirts with a sharpee marker. Remember this place isn't just a bar, there are families eating Sunday dinners, and your running around the bar playing Pearl Jam as loud as you can and you have dongs on your shirts. (VIVA PERU)

501Huguenot recommends that everyone out there should inquire about a Tower at their local spot. In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, "It'll get you drunk".

UPSET PREDICTION!!! (REVOKED)

Ok so i was dead wrong about my prediction, Binghamton was just a little too scared! I will be posting something good in a little bit so check back!

UPSET PREDICTION!!!

To those loyal 501 Huguenot Readers, i am about to predict the biggest upset of the tournament. If you want to make all your buddies wondering how you are such a great College Basketball Tournament Bracket picker, tell them you have a source. The upset that no one is talking about and is going to occur is Binghamton over Duke!! Thats right you heard it here first. Binghamton is on a 11 game win streak and Duke is very streaky. I think they are going to collapse once Binghamton takes a large lead and never look back. At 12:03am on 3/20/09 is when everone becomes a believer in 501 Huguenot Blog!!!!

Live NCAA Update!!

I have no idea who is going to win but this Memphis vs Cal State Northridge game is awesome!!!! The highlights will be something you dont want to miss!!!

Hockey & Beers

Yesterday all the members of 501 Huguenot attended an original six match up between the Rangers of New York and the Bruins of Boston.

Let's just say, mangled was not the most precise word to describe our inner and outer states.

Before the game we started off at Stout in NYC right around the corner from the Garden. We ordered several Guinness's for breakfast then made our way into MSG. There, we pounded Bud Heavy's and BL's, as we watched the Rangers oust the Bruins by one for a 4-3 end of regulation win. It was great to see the Rangers finally win a regulation game!

501 then proceeded to meet back up at Stout for some celebratory BL's, where G decided to wear a shirt entirely made out of ketchup, which was hysterical!

Fast forward an intriguing Metro north train ride home with a hot conductor that didn't charge us, and who's eyes were an intoxicating shade of crystal blue. I really don't know if I even said one coherent sentence to her, mumbling like a buffoon. I mean, clearly the booze talking, members of 501 have no issues with the ladies! We then proceed to get off the train one stop too soon only to add more hops and barley fuel to our ever burning fires of booze. This is the part of the story where all parts of the story become a battle of reality or day dreams. Kind of like splicing a film which has many different parts to it. We all have variations that begin the same way and end the same way, its just that the middles don't really fit.

In all, it was a great time, we will continue this now annual affair and will not change a god damn thing!

Remembering J.B. Buono

On Saturday February 28Th the legendary trainer of Iona College J.B. Buono passed away. It was truly a sad day for all Gael fans. An Iona and New Rochelle Hall of Famer, J.B. served as an athletic trainer for more than 50 years at the College.

Buono was hired as the full-time athletic trainer at Iona in 1960. A distinguished World War II veteran he was once described as being to Iona “what the Statue of Liberty is to New York”.

501 Huguenot was always a great admirer of J.B., we have all worked with him in one way or another. From co-workers, to student staff, to basketball manger, he has touched our lives in so many ways.

I can remember him my first week of school at Iona back in 2002. I just had my first day working in the "cage" and here was this old man shuffling his way down the hallway looking at me saying "Yeah, Man!" I remember being amused and nervous (that this man might fall,). He then proceeded to give me the "horns"!

Seven years have passed since that day, and everyday since he has made me laugh with his stories, outlandish gestures, the horns, his social life at Beechmont and Specatators (when his granddaughter was singing), his driving, and most of all his presence at all the Iona basketball games.

We will miss you J.B., rest peacefully.
