    You do understand you're trying to argue time with someone who intentionally avoids the thruway when going to Troy, yes?

              I drove to Troy from NYC via the Taconic much more often than via the Thruway. It was both faster and cheaper unless, especially after Hawthorne Circle was eliminated..

                I see in the game notes that in the event of OT; 5min. of 5X5 followed by a shoot-out if still tied. Never mind....bit of brain freeze there. Have to have a winner.

                    I did the same-I loved the scenic beauty of driving the Taconic and the savings from not paying the Thruway tolls. But way back then-I was able to purchase for $40 per year a special NY Thruway plate that allowed you to pay no tolls all year. I am sure there is no such bargain offered these days. The only problem with taking the Taconic route was in snowy weather. The road can be one of the toughest to drive in bad weather.

                      In traveling around Princeton you of course avoid PA-but you cannot avoid the PA drivers who come across the state border and 'attempt' to drive. Jen and i spent this past wednesday in PA-New Hope/Lahaska area-I find it a whole lot easier to let her do all the driving. Sitting in the passenger seat allows me to curse a whole lot less.

                        Be nice, Dr. D.

                        You may have to deal with a lot more PA drivers if RPI plays at Pegula Arena in future years.

                          Hoping we do play there! I'll just let Jenny drive and I'll carry a 12 gauge in the car just in case.

                          Edit: Jen's grandmther used to live in Catawissa PA and we used to drive out therre frequently. We loved taking all the back roads and it was wonderful. The bad part is the suburban Philly areas and of course much of what is close to the NJ border. All of NJ is tough and part of what we call the Rude Corrider-which extends from above Boston along the coast down to Richmond.

                            I've taken the Taconic to NYC, although I would also grab 84 and 684 to Hutchinson. Pretty decent drive.

                              I had to drive through PA to get to Princeton. They CANNOT drive. AT ALL. I'm ALMOST considering taking 17 to 287 next time.

                                The only thing that's close is the commuter pass (at least along the mainline) that allows a certain number of miles for free depending on your typical work commute. I know one person who lives around Auburn that is allowed 25 miles for free. I'm not sure about those that commute from Rochester, though.

                                EDIT: Here's the details. It's 30 miles for free, ticketed mainline only: http://www.thruway.ny.gov/ezpass/discount.html
