B is basically a good guy  
Vanzetti : 12/15/2017 12:37 am : link
He can get excessive in his rhetoric and personal attacks. But so can we all.

I think he will be a man about it and take it as a lesson learned.

Most people come here to share ideas about the team we all root for, not for confrontation.

Just my opinion, but bbi will be a better place when personal attacks are minimized.


Are we still talking B in ALB...or FMiC??

B in ALB is a good football poster...  
Dan in the Springs : 12/15/2017 7:29 am : link
and a hardcore fan (Not saying he's a fan of hardcore, but who knows?).

Anyway - glad to see he's back.

FMIC has given me the business on occasion, But his posts are some of the better posts on this site

He seems connected to the team and brings facts to his positions. Yes he gets impatient at times with people, but his posts weigh heavily on the side of being informative even though there are times his attacks get personal.
Good to have B back  
MetsAreBack : 12/15/2017 9:51 am : link
the best part of this thread was the couple of assholes that piled on him for absolutely no reason... for example, the no-talent assclown that compared his college football to Rudy's.

Albany.
I thought it was Albania for a few years  
Sonic Youth : 12/15/2017 9:56 am : link
Until I realized he played at Syracuse and meant Albany.

I also always confused his posting style with that of Greg in LI. Idk why, they seem similar.

Anyway at this point, with the way BBI's community has been shrinking, I am always bummed to find a familiar handle be banned or no longer posting, even if I think they were a shit poster (not that I think B in ALB is).

How was banned land? You come across any previously banned posters during your travels?

a poor, war-torn Pittsburgh.

Pretty funny to see the termites crawl out of the woodwork and bash my good name.

Couldn't do it under normal circumstances and had to wait until I was gone. But alas, like Lazarus I've risen again to smack down the clowns.

I watched an episode of Top Gear a few year back when they visited Albania. Recall them saying something to the effect of, and I'm paraphrasing, 80% of Merc Benz's on Albania roads are actually stolen from other countries and shipped in.

Someone has to have that post in their archives somewhere. I remember laughing so hard at that one. But I’m 38 and have always laughed at fart humor.
I hope someone can find it

The food is *great* in Albania, and very inexpensive. It's actually a mix of Greek, Ottoman Empire and Italian. And they're proud that it's always been organic - I was told a couple of times that "we were too poor to put chemicals on things we grow."

FWIW, if you've been to the indoor soccer facilities up here, they're all owned by an Albanian guy (who went to UAlbany and lives in Albany, so Albany all around...go figure).

I've known Afrim since I was like 8 years old. Great guy. Played on some good teams with him like Sons of Italy in Albany. He's got quite the little empire going on. I remember when all he had was his little store in Westgate Plaza on Central Ave.

lol, I've only known him since my kids were 6 or 6 but it seems like forever. We started out at the Washington Ave armory and then Schenectady to his Wold Rd and Latham sites. His latest is in my town's soccer facility and I heard he's building another. It certainly is an empire. He coached one of my kids for a few years and and was integral to training another. You can't play soccer in the Capital District and not have had some contact with Afrim.
