St. Lawrence & Clarkson @ RPI & Union (1/27, 1/28)

The last 2-3 weeks, Karpowich has not been nearly as good for Clarkson as he was early in the year. Even with the well-documented scoring issues RPI has had all year, I expect them to be able to get a couple goals; it really depends on whether Clarkson can score enough. If they can play the way they did against SLU, I think they can. And, since we have had several bad games at Union, I think our best chance (maybe our only chance) for points is Saturday.

i am pretty sure none of us who follow RPI are convinced that we can score more than 2 goals against anyone. Our best hope is to keep these games totally defensive and try to eke out a 2-1 or 1-0 win. We only allowed one late goal for the entire past weekend and had our most successful 2 games all season.

Yup. Expect to see a lot of two-band games in the next couple of weeks. We're pretty sure Cornell is coming on the 3rd and Colgate has already told us that they will be attending Freakout!

Will they be able to find seats for the Colgate band at the Freakout?

They told us a week or so ago that they were coming, so I assume they bought tickets then.

I believe a school is required to set aside 25 tickets for the visiting school's band to attend. After that, standard privileges for private establishments (including the right to refuse service) apply.

This is only what I've heard from past band managers; rulebook citation pending.

I'll bet Rensselaer's Pep Band alumni will outnumber any of their band alumni by a wide margin!

It appears that the Clarkson-RPI game is on Time Warner, in the Binghamton region - surprised (and happily so) thay aren't @ Colgate that night

Both games are on TWS in the Binghamton area - Union and RPI. I'm planning on watching both. Also - just noticed you are from Owego - I grew up just down the road in NV, maybe I know you.

The TWCS guide showed an AHL game Friday night - I'll have to check again tonight.

I've only lived in Owego since '04 - was originally from Norwood (6 miles from Clarkson), moved to the tier in '95 and lived near Ithaca until '04.

My TWCS market has Crunch/Amerks on Friday, and CCT/RPI on Saturday (very surprisingly not Colgate/Cornell).

I am looking forward to the Rensselaer School engaging the Thomas S. Clarkson Memorial School of Technology in on-ice fisticuffs.

(Note: Referring to things by their old names does not make you cool)

Speak for yourself.

I can verify that what Timmah! said was true.

And I can verify you can't sneeze with your eyes open.

In speaking of sneezing, any health reports out for the team?

I am not so sure-I wonder if you can sneeze with eyes open if you unfortunately suffer from proptosis.
