[BerniePragle]

Just to remind everybody... Both Yianni and Vito were New York State High School boys.

As were Dake and Nickerson.

Just to remind everybody... Both Mike Grey and Kellen Russell are from New Jersey

You do realize that Cornell is in New York State right?  Hence, the "New York connection"

I am no Geography professor, but it may have to do with Cornell being right smack dab in the middle of New York.

Many times I've remarked how there are a lot of very smart people on this forum.  This thread makes me realize that maybe "we" represent a more average slice of humanity than I thought.  I believe "we" have regressed to the mean here.
