Ok, now that I completely ruined Jalen’s thread; Tony could you move all this to it’s own thread. Thanks, and sorry for causing this mess.

In other words, you are asking Tony to evacuate the ecac history - I found it very illuminating and it puts Jalen's award into a broader context, thanks for digging that stuff up...

I recall not that many years ago (from a 76 year old's perspective anyway), when we would celebrate any and all local, regional or national recognition any of our players achieved. We would all have applauded a "Athlete of the Year" award from Green Island during those days. Now some of us appear to have become D1 snobs - comparing the ECAC to a lingering STD like herpes jumps right up there next to the "windmill noise causes cancer" crap...does the Kodak award still exist?

Good point! As for Kodak, they may barely exist! When they white-knighted Sterling Winthrop I worked for them on their contrast media OMNIPAQUE. Made people light up in radiology. But I digress..we are not BLUE BLOODS of D!. ANY honor for our kids is embraced. Jalen could probably run for Mayor of Cohoes and win at this point, and I would be thrilled for him!

Vast understatement given the God-like status you attributed to your last idol. God-like may also be an understatement.
