Portage Terriers 2011 Year-End Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlynprnXgiw. It's not particularly good as 80% or 90% is just still shots. The players are shown in the same order as in the Tags for the video. Thus Jason Kasdorf is the last shown at about 12:20 followed by a couple of championship celebrations.

If the throne is only going to be used for a couple games, then rent it out! Either that, or get some Brown's kegs up there and make it a controlled alcoholic beverage area. I don't know how much NHL skyboxes usually go for per game, but something comparable for college, plus maybe a few extra bucks to have your company's banner hanging there for the evening as an advertisement, would be nice for the Rensselaer Union to get some more revenue.

Getting tired of you ducking me.

I don't feel it necessary to answer questions in which the interrogator is trying to lead me.

Lead you to what? Answering simple yes or no question based on something you said?

Really, you don't feel like answering questions in which you cannot provide the answers to support something you've claimed. It's understandable, I get that a lot working in the government.

Asking a question in which the answer was implied. In court, it's called "leading the witness"...

You are on a serious, serious losing streak, DUDE. There's a reason why we don't get to pick who wears letters. You're surprised by Smith? Why? Are you privy to his impact in the locker room? Do you have some kind of inside knowledge about Cyr and Watts that you'd like to share with the rest of the class? Can you explain how you have deduced that he has been named a captain because he has a "Never give up, never surrender" attitude?

My patience is wearing extremely thin. This isn't discussion material, this is know-it-all blather.

Please explain to me how these are leading questions... unless, of course, you just can't answer them, because my suspicions are correct.

If you have suspicions about what my answers are, then that seems to tell me that there is an implication as to what my answers are, hence why I said you were leading me. From what I could tell by your questions, you didn't need me to answer those questions for you, because, seeing as there's this idea that you know what I think, you already supposedly know the answers.

NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare you"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.

Pardon me interrupting, but it seemed like these questions were already answered in the very post that inspired the questions to be asked.

FD: "I am surprised Justin gets the A. We don't get to see him on the ice very much, so he must be a terrific off-the-ice and in-practice motivator."
RC: "You're surprised by Smith? Why? Are you privy to his impact in the locker room?"

Wasn't it just stated why there was surprise?

FD: "Given he's stayed with the program and not transferred despite the lack of time on the ice (stares at Cyr and Watts), he must have one of the best "Never give up, never surrender" attitudes on the team."
RC: "Do you have some kind of inside knowledge about Cyr and Watts that you'd like to share with the rest of the class? Can you explain how you have deduced that he has been named a captain because he has a "Never give up, never surrender" attitude?"

The attitude was speculated on (with a reason given), doesn't say that must be why he was named Captain. A subsequent post linking an interview where the coach compliments Smith for his work ethic, attitude and energy.

Why all the fuss about this? How about some more talk about HE, I enjoyed reading that topic.

If he knows all about it, why would it have been a surprise? Fail number one.

I don't care about subsequent posts, I care about this post. He also apparently has inside information about two players that left the program and clearly was thinking that Smith was leaving the program too. (Hence, the surprise?)

If he doesn't, perhaps he should recant. Instead, he just has a lurker stand up for him since he can't stand up for himself.

RC, it seems to me like you are reading way too much into the original post. I only "stood up" because it just makes no sense to me, it was nice to see the nastiness being ignored.

No need to try again, I will also go back to ignoring the nastiness. I've lurked here for quite a while and even times when I agree with your position, you are so over the top rude and nasty about it. Feel free to continue if it makes you happy.

Oh here we go again. Red Cloud is such a meanie. Please. Don't tell me you're this big of a whiner in real life.

Oh no, some random person thinks I'm "over the top rude and nasty." Whatever shall I do?

I don't care. Whenever someone shows their ***, they're getting called out on it. If you don't like it, that's too bad. FlagDUDE runs his mouth constantly about stuff he clearly doesn't know jack about. At least Beman has the good sense to crawl back under his rock when he gets corrected. FlagDUDE just moves on to the next thing he's going to be wrong about.

If you want to challenge me, come strong. Leave that weak crap at home.

Congratulations, Red Cloud, you made some assumptions about my thinking and tried to imply my answer. However, given this post that you made that gives your implications of what you believed my answers to be, you drew incorrect conclusions regarding what I was thinking.

My challenging you in the past few posts has to do with these implications. Had you simply posted in the first place, "Would you please clarify what you just stated?" as an open-ended question (which it looks like you did at first before the tirade began), I would have been more open to giving you an answer. However, to make said one-sided implications (not asking "or if" I believed the other side of the coin to be true alongside what you posted, which I, again, would have been open to answering), I find to be very destructive means of debate, and doesn't deserve an answer. Why did I then come back to say this? Because if you're going to show me enough respect to continuously ask for an answer (and let's face it, if there wasn't at least respect for what I wrote, you wouldn't have responded), that deserves the same respect. If you would now like me to clarify, without any pre-conceived inferences, I would be willing to do so.

As for supe "defending me", I didn't ask for any sort of defense; I was completely willing to stand up to this on my own.

The only game where people (and SAJ) sat in the new "SkyBox" was the Harvard game which also co-incided with Obama's visit earlier that day to Schen'dty. Although it was pretty funny seeing her leading cheers during the BU game, yes...another hi-profile game. Personally, I could be wrong, I think she is an avid supporter of the team with a dose of politics & fandom. Just an opinion on a summer day.

Just to be clear, the sky box is actually divided into three separate rooms, each accessing mezzanine with seating overlooking the ice. I expect to see the rooms used to their full potential this season.

Then correct me. It's really brutally simple, yet you can't do it. Why?

Cop out. Plain and simple. You thought if you just ignored me I'd go away. You should know better.

Good God, just answer the freaking questions. Why does this have to be a drama?

I can tell you didn't ask for any defense, however, you were very unwilling to defend your own words. Speaks volumes.

Today is 8 June 2011. There are 115 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

Fine, then. Take a look at the first paragraph in question. You asked me "why" on my first sentence. You obviously didn't read the second sentence, because my answer was staring you right in the face. Not the first time it's happened with me, so I'm used to it. Third sentence and second paragraph, just some hypothesis and speculation. I never said it was true, but I didn't say it wasn't, either. You've already pretty much hinted as to why, so I don't need to explain that.

Regarding the whole transfer thing, he was a junior this past year. Quite frankly, if he wanted to leave, he would have done so already, and probably wouldn't have even been an Engineer last year. Therefore, read between the lines, no signs of him leaving. He wanted to be an Engineer, compared to the other two I had mentioned, who did not wish to be Engineers and "gave up" on that, as evident by their transferring. I realize that sometimes letting go can be your best option.

I don't know why there was thought that I was some sort of god and knew all. Perhaps, once again, something was taken out of context. It's not the first time. Quite frankly, if someone isn't going to attempt to connect dots regarding every word before responding, it's not worth my time for a response.

Fine, then. Take a look at the first paragraph in question. You asked me "why" on my first sentence. You obviously didn't read the second sentence, because my answer was staring you right in the face.

When one answers their own questions, it tends to be speculation. You then tried to take such speculation and make it fact. That's called a logical fallacy.

Third sentence and second paragraph, just some hypothesis and speculation. I never said it was true, but I didn't say it wasn't, either. You've already pretty much hinted as to why, so I don't need to explain that.

In the future, when you want us to perform a Vulcan ****ing mind-meld to divine your true intent, please be sure to let us know.

Regarding the whole transfer thing, he was a junior this past year. Quite frankly, if he wanted to leave, he would have done so already, and probably wouldn't have even been an Engineer last year. Therefore, read between the lines, no signs of him leaving.

Therefore, you just couldn't help but speculate about the possibility of him leaving. I could drive the space shuttle through that gap in logic.

He wanted to be an Engineer, compared to the other two I had mentioned, who did not wish to be Engineers and "gave up" on that, as evident by their transferring. I realize that sometimes letting go can be your best option.

Again, you apparently are privy to inside information about Cyr and Watts if you can make this assertion based solely on their decision to transfer.

I don't know why there was thought that I was some sort of god and knew all.

It's your "this is the way it is" attitude. I have this same attitude, but the difference is that I make sure I know what I'm talking about before I pipe up. I also don't find the need to talk about every little morsel that bounds its way down the pipeline.

Perhaps, once again, something was taken out of context. It's not the first time. Quite frankly, if someone isn't going to attempt to connect dots regarding every word before responding, it's not worth my time for a response.

Not worth your time for a response?

That'd be a first.
