AWD won't help, as you can't use that on anything but pavement. You need 4WD.

I can make a case for either up there but we have gone off the road in 4WD in the past in a Jeep and a Suburban. Have had much better luck (and traction) in AWD with the Audi system. The roads are plowed quickly (routes 30 and 28) and usually in passable shape in a few hours-unlike down here in NJ where just a few inches and the entire area is shut down for days. Even during that monster storm of March 1993 we were able to at least get out of BML within about 6 hours-arriving at RPI only to find the hills of Troy unplowed and impossible to go around all the stranded cars. IIRC we lost to Colgate that first night-then had a game cancelled due to the storm (Troy got 28 inches+) and then won the next two.

It's snowing on both RPI threads... on August 1st. :D Am looking into going to the golf outing for dinner.

Today is 2 August 2012. There are 65 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.

I stopped going that way not only because it takes an hour and a half longer, but Essex County 2 is in horrible shape between Newcomb and I-87 the last time I went that way (I think 2002). I've been taking NY 8 lately.

To be more accurate it would have to be ochsen. Jenny surprised me with something German. Technologically so far advanced it took me 45 minutes to figure out how to unlock and lock the doors.

So how's the Trabant? ;)

I have read about 300 pages of the largest manual that came with the car (there are 4 separate books). I am getting more used to things but still find the night vision, heads up display, adapative cruise control, and side assist a tad confusing. The radio and navigation display is covered in book 2 which I have not gotten to yet. Sometimes I miss my old 1963 VW Beetle that had nothing for me to do except hold on to the wheel, press a couple of pedals, and shift into and out of gear.:( Maybe if this was a Trabant with that old 2 cycle engine the East Germans put in it things would be easier.

with Capt.'s Practices set to start in less than 2 weeks still no "C" or "A"s. I wonder if SA has already determined who they will be so he has had time to co-ordinate with them how the practices should be run. I'll kick off with my picks; Nick Bailen wears the "C" with Matt Tinordi & C.J. Lee wearing the "A"s.

Those sound like good choices to me (based upon very little knowledge of the players personalties.)

Agree with Bailen and Lee, but I would put Higgs in as the other AC. JMO
