RPI 2013 Part V: Who Wants Screech?

Re: RPI 2013 Part V: Who Wants Screech?

I like this post:)-not only can I understand it, but I actually agree with it. The last sentence really sums it up quite nicely. I could not figure any way for us to get higher than PWR 12 and so I figured let everyone who is that far up just keep winning and drop others down. At the same time wanting any team close to us or below to lose so we do not get caught. I know it is more complicated than that but my medicare aged brain can only handle simple concepts now that i am 46+ years post an excellent RPI education (many thanks to Dr. Dis Maly for even making it possible for me to understand any of these numbers):rolleyes:
Ever since the first time I heard of him, I wondered what his parents were thinking when they gave him that first name. BTW, he did not have a doctorate, but I thought that he was one of the best teachers I had at RPI.

I understand his name came to his father as he watched him being born. He just looked down and said "Dis must be the kid".;)

I had always thought he had his PhD. You would know far better, that was your major. I thought he was tough but a fair teacher. I had him for only 2 courses.

That was one more than I had him for.

I know you were looking farther out at a Union matchup (where Union could score some TUC wins against Da) and even into NCAA travel. Even with those, I'm still thinking we root for Dartmouth. What do you think?

It is starting to look to me like we need to win twice in Troy and twice in Atlantic City.....otherwise there are too many cross-contingencies that cancel each other out and leave us with our noses pressed up against the pane of glass.....I sure hope that we get these four wins and it doesn't matter; failing that, I hope I am wrong!

There's a site that claims a mathematical possibility of RPI becoming even a #1 seed, but they don't publish any info on their methodology: http://playoffstatus.com/ncaahockey/ncaahockeytournseedprob.html
 
Re: RPI 2013 Part V: Who Wants Screech?

I'm going to cover several topics in this post.

I've been an RPI fan since the 1960's and I absolutely cannot recall who Screech might have been or why anybody would want him (her? it?). Guess I haven't been a fan long enough to qualify for long-time status.

Dis Maly was my academic advisor during my upperclass years. Some years back, I visited Troy and went to church on a Sunday morning. I noticed on the church bulletin that one of the church officers was Dis Maly. I asked the rector whether this might be my old adviser, but from what he told me, the guy wasn't nearly old enough to have been my adviser. Which apparently means that my adviser, after living with his name all his life, named his son Dis Maly, Jr. :)

Third, I'm planning to come up for the playoff series the weekend of March 15-17. I haven't been to an RPI home game since October 2008. At that time the ECAV was under construction, which resulted in the elimination of a good deal of the available parking area around the Field House. People driving to the games were advised to park in the North Lot, from which they ran shuttle buses to the Field House.

Have they restored the parking around the Field House since that time, or are people still expected to park in the North Lot and use the shuttle buses?

North lot and bus it, or park down on Burdett/Peoples/Sherry/etc. otherwise I believe the only free lot is the one all the way at the top of the hill by LXA.

I only go back to 1993, but I am glad that I am not the only one that has no idea what/who screech is.
As for parking, I go to about 3/4 games a year and get to the field house about an hour before game time. I have no problem parking on the street down the hill from the arena. Even got a decent space for the freakout this year. I hope that helps.

this may have been touched on already but will the students be on break the 15-17th?
