Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2012: An Off-Season to Be Optimistic

I believe BU and NoDak's arena both serve beer at the rink. There is alcohol in the Burben (Bourbon) Room at Cheel, but that is a separate area overlooking the rink..no booze inside

Clarkson also now has a "pub" on the main floor at Cheel (across from the fireplace) in addition to the Barben room - we need more places at the rink for alcohol if we can't win playoff games :cool:
 
You might have to clik on Alumni News on the ECAC website to catch some of the stories that don't stay on the 1st page very long.

Thanks but one would think the school would have something on their own site about their players. Especially since nothing has changed on the site, hockey portion, since the last game.

Totally agree! Left the Union game after the second period to watch the 3rd period at a local bar. Unfortunately, the bar had direct tv and could not get TWC3. I would have been very upset but all I missed was a 4th goal by Union.

I can only imagine how long the waiting list for season tickets to that section would be if we had one. I know I'd be trying to upgrade my seats to it.

You should thank me for getting us out of there.

I know RPI Athletics had an article about Jeff Foss and Chase Polacek signing with the AHL last year...Don't believe they had articles about the guys signing with the ECHL, but I could be wrong.

And no, RPI is not a dry campus. Alcohol is not allowed in residence halls for those under 21, and discouraged in class, but that's about it.

Today is 22 March 2012. There are 198 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 6 October for the start of next season.

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

Discouraged in class.... Why just discouraged? Do people need it to get through one of Korenowski's Chem lectures? :eek::D

I have a vague recollection that when I was at RPI, eating and drinking of any type was not allowed in class.

That is why I chose to sit near the back of the room;) I could not get through a lecture in Physical Chemistry without some sort of nourishment.

I certainly could have used it for PEA. Then again, I was the sacrificial lamb that would hand in (and most of the time complete) my buddies' in-class activities so they could go to the bar.

Oh god, the horrors of that class. Great material, terrible professoring. Don't remind me! :p

Ralph, when I was there (not too long ago) it was a class-to-class rule, as in some professors were pretty anal about it and some weren't. Most of the time, I didn't care and just brought in a cookie or something anyways, as I failed to see how at that level of learning and given the fact that I wasn't working around any lab equipment that I couldn't eat when I wanted to or how that rule made any sense.
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2012: An Off-Season to Be Optimistic

Alcoholic consumption and "stockpiles" are limited, but by no means is it dry. Unless they changed something in the last couple of years (and given the pub posts on facebook about happy hour, I don't think they did).

My mistake, I was misinformed about what "dry" really meant then (that they had any alcohol-restrictive rules at all). Though, hearing stories of old about GM Week, etc. you could basically consider it a relatively "dry" campus now if those were true. :)

Not sure what era you are referring to aboout GM Week, but there definitely was free (crappy) beer given out by the political parties during GM week at or in the Field House depending upon the weather. This along with the strippers
(also mainly crappy by my memory, but not by DrD's) disappeared by the time I received by PhD in 1974. The latter was due to there being more than about 10 females on campus. I am not sure why the beer disappeared since the drinking age was still 18 in NYS when I left.

Edit: They also gave out free beer mugs as an inducement to voting in the GM/PU/etc elections.

There are some restrictive rules, like it has to be in your (dorm) room, you can't have more than a six pack or one bottle of liquor at your dorm, and beer pong was banned. Also, compliance with state laws are enforced.

The mugs are still a tradition. I still have my four. However, you now have to go to the pub to get beer in them. You're stuck with root beer otherwise.

You have to remember that my memory could be clouded by the fact that they were serving alcohol at the time:rolleyes:. Although I was never much of a beer drinker. I do agree that most of the strippers were sub par-with the occassional exception. But then again we were on a campus with 10 or less females so pretty much anything looked pretty good in comparison.;)

Are they still frosted mugs that have a red R followed by an apostrophe and the two-digit year on them? I don't have mine. I think that my my mother threw them out.

Any hockey news? :)
