actually we ended up moving down near the Zamboni corner (because it wasn't sold out) the site lines are still so so....difficult to see the opposite end...
But it was fun watching people do their homework on laptops and reading their books at the hockey game

Yup, that looks about right: An RPI fan focusing on the past, a Union fan focusing on the present.

Having attended both RPI and union for a time-I can find it easy to root for both squads. There is no question that recently the Union program has had more success than the Engineers. But when you compare the programs from a standpoint of overall success over the entire time they have been in existence-you get a little different perspective. Instead of trying to belittle either program-why not just hope we both can beat everyone else out there and only fight it out amongst ourselves whne we play each other? It would certainly be nice if we could see both programs in the NCAA tournament together representing the league as we have seen once before.
Hey, why can't we be friends? I'm pulling for RPI this weekend, completely selflessly.

Who says we can't be friends? I, too, am pulling for RPI this weekend, completely selflessly. I just want them to win because I'd love to see them get out of last place. They've been there all season and I think this is the weekend they finally exit the cellar.

How hard is it for you to say what you mean, anyway? Do all your thoughts just migrate straight from your brain to the keyboard without any filter in between? or is it just that we are the lucky ones?

It should-but i took summer courses at Union every year back in the 60's simply because they were less expensive per credit hour than taking them at RPI. I ended up with 36 credits of my BS taken at Union and 92 taken at RPI. I guess that qualifies. And yes spent 4 years at Albany medical School which was part of Union University.

Or just draw penalties. Our kill... oh, it kills all right...
The way to beat us this year is to fall behind 3-1 entering the third.We haven't beaten you guys without a shutout in 12 years. You mean there's a chance we might actually do it this year?
Sweet.

Or 2-0, that works too.

Which, I must say, makes the fact that Brown swept you all the more hilarious.
Also, apparently Cleary Cups (which basically no one cares about) are more important than national championships? Brilliant hypothesis. Goes well with the league's only Cleary Cup banner and only NCAA Tournament appearance banner that leads one to believe they represent fictitious national titles.
The little brother syndrome knows no bounds.

I should have stated "the newer Union fanbase" The ones who just came out of the woodwork since the Dutchmen have became good. The ones who couldnt tell you any history of Union outside of the last 2 or 3 years. Older Union fans, the ones who suffered with the team during its tough years, are cool with me, actually enjoyed watching the RPI-Union game in Lake Placid with a couple older Union fans. Didnt enjoy the hockey being played on the ice, but was able to joke around with them and not be told I or my team sucks.
So...what is it about the fan base?

As someone else posted on eLynah, Cornell under Schafer when leading after two periods:
Before this season: 140-7-9
This season: 8-3-2
Ugh.
Um...yeah.Not to worry - this is not yesterday's lock-down stingy D Cornell team. We're finding ways to give up buckets of goals this year, particularly in the 3rd period. Keep it close through 2 and you'll have a pretty good shot at a W.

When you say "little brother syndrome," you are talking about yourself, right? Seems like any time someone posts something positive about Union, you feel the need to jump in and comment on how we don't sell out or how our rink needs an upgrade. It's pretty funny, actually.
As for the "older Union fans" comment, I can't really argue with that one. I started following Union hockey when I arrived at Union as a freshman in 2006. Since that time, it has been complete domination of our "little brother" neighbors. I can't exactly share the pain of the many years before that with the "40%" comment, but I can share the pain of having teams I root for not win it all (Knicks, Mets, Jets) in my lifetime.
I bring up the Cleary Cup because it happened last year. Any time I make a comment about how Union has been a good team recently, some RPI fan jumps in and says, "But wait, we won it all nearly 3 decades ago!"
