I'm not near as familiar with Oneonta as my wife is. I wonder if the Stallions got their name because Saratoga? I believe Rome is about 75 miles north of us. Were you from Rome originally? I graphed the Giants training camp at the Univ of Albany which was about 20 minutes away the last few years. No camp in Albany this past year since camp was cut short. Now moving two hours away it will be a pain. I don't know if they will be having camp in Albany since their contract ran out with UAB...Rick

If their camp is anywhere in the area we should go graph them I wanted to last year but it was cut short.I'm a huge giants fan

I've gotten Eli four times. He gives the Eli M___g. He normally only signs with the black sharpie he has with him. Two of the four I got from him were horrible and I just erased them from the mini. One I kept for myself and another I gave to a kid that was disappointed Eli passed him by. I pretty much got everybody with the exception of Jacobs and Bradshaw who are always joined at the hip. Every time I asked Jacobs his excuse was always "I don't have time". He's gone so I'm glad I didn't waste a mini on him. Tyree blew me off once getting into his car as I was trying to get him to sign an 8x10. The only ones I really want to get is Prince and Cruz. We will have to see who they draft this year or what free agents they pick up. If camps in Albany I'll probably make a couple of trips. I like going to the morning/afternoon practices because there are normally less people but it's just if you're in the right place at the right time. It did not seem like Cruz signed much last year. I have no idea about this year since they did not come to Albany...Rick

EDIT: This is about as good as you will get from Eli unless you have VIP passes and then you still may only get this. http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/s...SignedMini.jpg

Hixon, Nicks, Osi and Tuck are always good signers. Eli's better at the beginning of camp, he gets tougher toward the end of camp but he still can be had.
