    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    Krawchuk didn't hurt that save percentage last night, with 31 saves on 32 SOG. The stats show that his teammates helped him out with 16 blocked shots, which is pretty respectable. Krbecek did not play last night, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's in there tonight. We'll see whether RPI...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    Tony, thanks for the advice. I had heard a while back that some sports venues (Progressive Field was the specific example I heard about) no longer allow people to simply come to the box office and pay cash for a ticket on game day. I was concerned that the Field House might have gone a similar...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    For a couple of years when I was a student, I operated the scoreboard for freshman football games at '86 Field. I was only allowed to control the score, quarter, down, yards to go, and possession indicator. NCAA rules dictated that, even for a freshman game, someone from outside RPI had to...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    Some observations based on the results of the first few games, bearing in mind that it is still too early to draw meaningful conclusions. I would think many RPI fans, including me, expected Ohio State to be really good, so most of us were probably favorably impressed with the fact that the team...

    LIU @ RPI Friday 10-16-26

    WRPI's website says the hockey game is supposed to be on, but they seem to be cheerfully playing music instead.

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    Currently listening to the WRPI webstream of the football game. RPI leads, 7-0, late in the first quarter. I note that WRPI's website says "We are currently off-air on FM due to some technical difficulties with our antenna." Still, Kurt Stutt today and the announcers at last night's hockey...

    OSU @ RPI, Friday, 10/9/26

    I notice that I can hear the band much better on the WRPI broadcast than I used to be able to do when they were positioned on the same side of the rink as the broadcasters. Maybe the "they" who wanted to try this is WRPI.

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    The Blazers played at Convention Hall, former home of the 76ers and before them, the Warriors. As far as I know, hockey had never been played at Convention Hall prior to the Blazers' arrival. Previous Philadelphia pro hockey teams (other than the Flyers) had played at the ancient Philadelphia...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    This is good to hear. I was having visions of a scenario such as faced the WHA's Philadelphia Blazers, who came to their home arena on what was supposed to be opening night, only to have the ice declared unplayable after it cracked the first time somebody drove the Zamboni on it. :oops:

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    Didn't see the game, didn't hear the game, but it's nice to know that RPI won and scored five goals in the process. It certainly feels a lot better than losing, and winning 5-4 seems much more exciting than winning by a score like 2-1. It also seems as though RPI, as Dr. D has commented many...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    A bit of combined football and weather history - on Sept. 27, 1975, RPI was scheduled to play a road game at Western Connecticut. In those pre-Internet days, I had to rely on the Philadelphia newspapers for scores of RPI football games, and I could not find a score of the RPI -Western...

    RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

    In something of a scheduling oddity, RPI and Hobart played the same two non-league opponents, Utica and Brockport, the last two weekends. Hobart lost to Utica, but only by 7 points (RPI lost to them by 24). Hobart beat Brockport, 27-14 (RPI lost to them by 35). If RPI is only a 1-point...

    Hope Guo's professors pass him. It'll be tough for him to stay eligible if they don't. :)

    Didn't there used to be a nice salt dome or something over in Schenectady? :rolleyes:

    By "exciting," do you mean there's a chance we'll have someone score more than 8 goals and/or 22 points?
