OK, for all you superstitious RPI fans out there, maybe by starting the thread on a Thursday, the team will think they have a game today, and then tomorrow play like they do on a Saturday.

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostI like that thinking! I am incredibly superstitious. Back in the early RPI years for me, if we got on a winning streak I would wear the same clothes to every game and had innumerable pre game rituals that i had to do for each game. Nowadays they would put me on all sorts of medications for obsessive compulsive disorder. Way back then I am surprised they did not give me electroshock therapy.

We were told that it had once been tradition that freshmen were supposed to wear their beanies until the football team won its first game of the season, but that requirement had been eased after some classes went through their entire four years without the team winning a game.
As it happened, the football team won its opener my freshman year (the first time they had done so since 1949), so we actually wore our beanies for a week longer than the old tradition would have required. My beanie turned to ashes in the flames of a bonfire at the pep rally.
It wasn't long before incoming freshman classes figured out what we were too dumb to realize - that if they simply went around campus without their beanies, nobody could tell that they were freshmen, so nobody would give them any grief for not wearing the things.

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostI am ignorant of how this works-who assigns Feola to the game? He certaily has been difficult for us at times. I saw the game he called at Princeton against Yale this past week-he mised an obvious 5 minute major hit from behind but other than that called a relatively benign game.

They were gone by 1984. I wonder if that tradition died with the Bachelors. What do the beanies look like? Were they like the ones in Animal House? I'd love to see some pictures.
Someone needs to make Chase wear one until he wakes up form his recent slump (if we can call 3 games a slump).
