I would think more likely closer to 18 (his weight in Stones)
Is he 13 also?

Re: RPI Offseason Part II: Mindless Drivel.
Aside from an extra player on each side, how is it any different from the power play? We've had this difficulty for the last couple of years, although with Curtis Leonard and Bo Dolan getting the main point jobs, we have been doing much better on that front, and we have nowhere to go but forward (no pun intended).
It works best when you have a team that knows how to keep the puck in the offensive zone with the extra man. Some teams are very good at this-others not so good. I am not sure you can practice this and certainly do not understand why some teams can do it so well. What the Bruins did was just something you may never see in your lifetime again. That and the Rangers blowing out the Caps made for a very nice day watching the NHL for me.

According to the Homecoming schedule on RPI's alumni website, the game on October 5 is to be against St. Mary's University of Halifax, NS at 7 pm.
Anyone get the season ticket order form in the mail yet? I know the early bird return date is usually June 15, which is a month from tomorrow.

Mick Jagger doesn't weigh that much, so it could be about right.

SA certainly seems to like scheduling Maritime colleges for the scrimmages.

I also note on the Homecoming schedule that Erik James ('99) will be performing late Saturday. (I probably should post this on the Alumni thread.

Probably because they're fairly strong in terms of Canadian colleges.

from the St. Mary's site (similar to RPI Game Notes) http://www.smu.ca/webfiles/2012SMUMensHockey_WEB.pdf ....had the Conf. POY in Fd. Lucas Bloodoff (6'2" 225).... appears to be Brad Marchand's brother Jeff on roster. Being that former Engineer Justin Smith grew up and played Midget hockey with Brad, safe to assume he knows Jeff as well? Just thought I'ld put a little hockey back in to the conversation

Thanks for the link.

Perhaps because political correctness has limited some other choices.
Personally i would want my team named something fierce and foreboding-like the Huns or the Mongols.

DAN YOU MONGORIANS!!!!
Actually, I believe I read somewhere that our track team from where I grew up, which combined 5 schools, was one of the first in the country to use the nickname of Emus.

Re: RPI Offseason Part II: Mindless Drivel.
Did the ASPCA object to that? If not for animal names what could teams start using? They could start with automobile models-which are pretty much politically correct already. Would not be too bad to be called the GTO's or the Corvettes or the Phaetons. Personally I would love to see them use some Audi designations (the A6's or Q5's or the R8's sound fairly interesting to me) Or perhaps use professions like the Engineers, the Exterminators, the CEO's, the Sales Associates, the Flight Attendents or the Politicians.

I'm sure they eventually will. We'll be down to Giant D***** and T*** Sandwich.

Vandals? too easily misunderstood. Visigoths? too abstruse.
I have it! The most fierce and foreboding name in the US today: "The IRS Auditors"! You'd have a full-time power play.
You also might use annoying insects, "uh oh, here comes The Swarm again." or "don't get stung by The Hornets."

Too bad that there isn't a 31-year Cicada, or it would be ideal for the 'Tute.
Re: RPI Offseason Part II: Mindless Drivel.
Perhaps we can find a way for the 17-year cicada and the 13-year cicada to interbreed?
