Alaska Goal Rush: 10/16-17 UA_, UAA, RPI, RMU

Re: Alaska Goal Rush: 10/16-17 UA_, UAA, RPI, RMU

The UAA blog predicts a UAA 6-1 win, referring RPI will be the equal of Mercyhurst. I think RPI is much more talented than Mercyhurst and will give UAA and the nanooks all they can handle and more. Growing up in Cohoes N.Y. I have gone to many RPI games and they are bringing two of the top ten recriuting classes of the last two years in the nation. Should be exciting hockey, and I hope to see some RPI fans in Faibanks, I will be pulling for them against the seapuppies.

It's hard to tell which parts are meant to be satire, and which parts are just poor research, so I will shut up.

I thought it was pretty funny. If these games were at home I think the author would be eating his words. With the long trip though, it's hard to predict how we will play. Certainly the Friday game should be easier for us - especially since the start time is closer to our norm than theirs.

RPI supposedly flew to Alaska today. As you said, the Friday game is close to the time that the 'Tute usually plays, so I don't think that the time change and travel should be big problems.

I am cautiously optimistic about both games, but hopefully, the victory over UNH doesn't make the team overconfident.

If there's no universe destroying polar bear to be found, I would call this a failed road trip.

Your best likelihood at viewing any variety of bears in _airbanks is in the twilight at the dump.

Glad you mentioned where that pic was taken, mmf. I don't recall ever seeing any mountains in _airbanks.

I am not going to predict a UAA win this weekend, not after the way the team played last Saturday night. They better win, and I know they are capable of it, but they better play to the best of their abilities.

For all the RPI and RMU fans I must inform you that our UAA trolls spell Fairbanks without an F because UAF became UA last year, because we are the "University of Alaska" UAA is just a glorified community college.

Don't kid yourself. When people think of the University of Alaska, they do NOT think of Fairbanks. In fact, since the name was changed to improve Fairbanks image, there was a poll giving UAA a place that UA_ should have had, because they recognized UA as meaning Alaska Anchorage.

The poll you are quoting is USA Today, enough said, those morons wouldn't know a hat trick from an assist. UAA the only community college in America with a hockey team.

You've never been to upstate New York if you think this is true.

This may sound odd, but it's true - I was heavily considering going to Fairbanks to check this series out, but I found it much cheaper to go watch a Yankees playoff game this weekend.

RC: We checked out the prices and found the only reasonable seats for the Yankees were in the nosebleed section-anything even close to the field was prohibitively expensive. I think I could fly to Alaska for less

3rd row on the 2nd deck, $100. That's significantly cheaper than the $600 flight to Fairbanks.

Sounds like a steal-now if only the weather holds out.

Also, a quick history lesson:

The university system started as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in Fairbanks, later renamed the University of Alaska. That first year, the campus was a single two-story frame building and had just six students. The school was renamed the University of Alaska in 1935.

In 1954, Anchorage Community College (now known as the University of Alaska Anchorage) was incorporated into the University of Alaska.

There is one big difference. UAA still has Anchorage in their name, but _airbanks doesn't. It's all about image.
