RPI informants... has the team made the full transition to ECAV for offices and practices or will it just be used for games in 09? If they are up there full time that means no more killing time between classes (or skipping class) in the 87 gym.

No info.  I do know they start Wed. 

Not sure even where they are practicing yet.  Assume they wil want to get on the ECAV field sooner than later.  They only have one game on grass all year (at Hobart).  So I think they will want to spend most of their time practicing on turf.  They have a scrimmage at home on the 29th with HVCC.

BTW shouldn't they be putting a name on the field at some point besides the sterile East Campus Athletic Village? 

Not familiar enough with the RPI FB history to understand who or what it should be called.  Maybe you alum have a better idea.. How about Ort's Fort?

Or how about: Redhawk/Engineer/We Don't Know What Our ****ing Mascot is Field
You can even just use the initials: REWDKWOFMIS Field

By the way, a 'Flying Dutchmen' is the same thing as a Rusty Trombone but you wear angels wings and Coach Audino video tapes you.

BOL, don't forget the 1920's pilot goggles.

Thanks for the update stim. Yes that place needs any name besides ECAV. Love the idea of Ort's fort, but they already named the hydrotherapy pool that. The school can't get enough of that alphabet soup... just like the experimental media and performing arts center (EMPAC).  Uh, last time I check it was an auditorium, or just a plain performing arts center.  What kind of experimental media is going on in there?  Let me guess... three girls and one cup?

Anyone watching this year's season of hard knocks on HBO?  They seem to follow the same formula every year but it's still a great show.  Follow 1-2 veterans (Ochocinco, Palmer), draft pick(s) (Rey Maualuga, Andre "Titties" Smith), and then a few guys on the bottom of the 80 man roster. If you didn't get a little something in your eye when that guy went down with a ruptured achilles then something may be wrong with you.

Gro thinks they could expand this show and follow 2-3 teams each year instead of 1. Put the shows on different nights, you know you'd watch it.

gro.... SF was wonderin, why would Andre Smith run with his shirt off, if he had dog titties?  Was that his way of saying "child please" to the NFL?

The dood with the achilles is Reggie Kelly..  he's been the starting TE for about 5 years.  You're right, that part was tough... he's one of the good guys of the NFL, volunteers alot in Cincy.  He'll stick around and help out Chase Coffman, which is cool of him. 

Two things that are apparent (and not good if you're a Bengals fan)..
1. Mike Brown TELLS the coaches how they are going to align the roster.  He said they are rolling with 3 fullbacks and 3 TE's (What??!)
2. If another OL gets hurt, they are screwed... the Randy Jackson look-alike looks turr--ible on the field.

Flying Dutchman???

Union's moniker is Dutchmen.

Not Flying Dutchmen, not Fighting Dutchmen, just Dutchmen.

Let the people running the booster club keep using Fighting Dutchmen if they want.  A google image search brought up this very intimidating image of Fighting Dutchmen.

Leb Val's mascot is the Flying Dutchman.  I'm a big fan of the logo...

Random topic of the day...

I just received a letter from Sallie Mae servicing (my student loan provider):

Dear Mr Todd 

Please find a refund check in the amount of $2.59  This check is being sent for the following reason:
YOU HAVE OVERPAID YOUR STUDENT LOAN



...now granted, I find the overpayement notice nice, except for 1 little thing....

I PAID OFF MY LOAN IN 1995! 

so 14 years later, they correct a $2.59 error?   No I know why the US (and Sallie Mae) is in the financial shape it is in...

anyone ever heard the term escheatment?  WTF

[HSCTiger74]

anyone ever heard the term escheatment? 

Is it what Papi Ortiz said when he was accused of juicing?
