So the RPI-Union thread is mainly about our game last weekend vs. Colgate, and the RPI-BU thread is mainly about our game vs. PC in 1985. It all makes sense.

Hey BU fans. What's the outlook for tickets for this Friday? I held off buying as I thought I might be traveling on business. Turns out I can go. Are the games all selling out this year? Can you tell me best options please? Thanks.

Games aren't selling out (even BC-BU had trouble). If you're worried, you can buy online or through the box office (617-353-GOBU) in advance. You can also show up before the game and buy them through the box office.

I wasn't even there.

WHAT?!? Where were you? In an association thread?

I was not offsides! I wasn't even there.

Ralph: I was there with Jenny and neither of us were offsides either

I don't recall if the Devils wore pants.

I was at a friend's house. I didn't have ESPN back then and had to go out to see it. The UMD semifinal was broadcast early the same day since it was not shown live. IIRC, it cost me a lot of beer to watch the games.

It's ok God punished you guys for wearing Cooperalls.

Plus, Puppa let in Cavalinni's shot. It's as clear as day on the replay, you can see him laughing about it...

Admittedly one of my favorite RPI moments was this, at Agganis, 10/21/2005:
Kevin Croxton (Jonathan Ornelas, Reed Kipp) 5:41

He beat Dan Spang down the ice and scored on a backhand.

I've followed RPI hockey for a long time, and I have a hard time remembering a loss as tough as the game last night.

I don't know how the coach is going to be able to get the team up for a game on Friday, though perhaps the fact that the opponent happens to be the defending national champion will help.

I don't know, BEING the defending national champs hasn't helped our team get up for games.

Sucked the wind out of the entire season, and they have only themselves to blame for it - yes, I still believe this the next morning.

That game made me physically ill. Literally. I horked in the parking lot outside the Penalty Box after only a few bites of a sandwich and a tall Sam Adams.

I seem to remember watching SA's former roommate's team having a similar collapse last April in a slightly more important game.

Yes, I felt the same way-it is getting harder to find bright spots to keep the spirits up. I slammed down two shots of Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka after that third period last night. But life goes on and we get a chance to redeem ourselves friday.
