[Couple things:

-One of the best moments in Union Hockey history was Gill Egan's triple OT goal in 84 over RIT at RIT. dlip idolized Egan and wore #11 throughout his hockey career as a tribute.

-It totally sucks ass that the Dutch don't play the Hartford Whalers theme song anymore. Why on earth they stopped that dlip does not ****in know.

-1985 D3 Union vs D1 RPI at Achilles Rink, game tied at 2 with 31 seconds left, face off in the neutral zone. ****in RPI ties the game and goes on to win in OT. Broke dlip's heart and truly taught dlip how to HATE the Engineers. By the way, RPI went on that year to defeat Providence and win the D1 National Championship.

-Nothing parallels Union fans ****ing pelting Hamilton's Guy Hebert (eventual Mighty Ducks star netminder) with Oranges during their annual match-ups. ****ing intense rivalry that got the blood boiling and the Union students throwing out obscenities like Andrew Dice K on stage. Those were the days.

dlip grew up going to almost every single home football and hockey game throughout the 80's and 90's with his old man. It sounds weird but dlip loves this ****ing school more than he can describe. Being a local kid he wanted desperately to play hockey for the U but it just wasn't in the cards.  

+K Dlip, bringing me ALL the way back with the DLIP Hot Tub Time Machine!

* Gill Egan was the man, no doubt. Union and RIT had some epic games (it was 4 OT's, not 3), both in the ECAC championships and the National Championship/ Final Four, and he always scored big goals. I always though the heart of that team was Wayne McDougall. That loss to Babson in the finals after the RIT game was such a letdown.

* The Union-Hamilton rivalry was HUGE back then, and I agree, nothing beat Guy Hebert getting pelted with oranges. The measures we had to take to sneak the oranges into the Rink were creative, to say the least, since security began searching for them at the door. The football games were just as intense, when the 1984 Seamus Crotty Hamilton team beat us 10-3 in a mudbowl when we were ranked #2 in the nation, the fans stormed the field and tore down the goalposts. I certainly have never seen that in DIII ball.

* Can't believe they've scrapped the Hartford Whalers song! U89, please give Jimmy Mac a call, and get the Hartford Whaler's song reinstated IMMEDIATELY. That is an outrage. How can he call himself an AD if he let's that happen?

Funny Orange Throwing Story:

When I was 12 a friend of mine and his family had Boston College season basketball tickets.  One of those years they played Syracuse at home.  When the Syracuse players came out of the tunnel, the crowd started to pelt them with orange slices, orange peels, empty tropicana containers, and fake plastic oranges.  It was the funniest thing I had ever seen as an 12 year old.  So the next year, we are 13 or 14 and are allowed to go to the games by ourselves (I remember one of our parents having to go the year before).  

Anyway, we are prepared the next year and we sneak in all these plastic oranges to throw at the players.  So here comes the Cuse out of the tunnel again, Derrick Coleman, Sherman Douglas, Billy Owens and Ronny Siekley might have been there......So we pull out the plastic oranges and are ready for the fun, when we notice that no one is doing anything.  No one is throwing oranges or even booing Syracuse.  Then out of nowhere my friend lets one fly.  The only person in the gym to throw something at the team.  Needless to say we were thrown out of the gym and banned for the rest of the season.  I have no idea why no one had any oranges the next year.

Dam oranges.

TGP grew up outside of Hahtfud and loved going to see games at the old Civic Center.  Long live the Whale and F Karmonos.

+k for the post TGP. ****, it has been awhile since dlip has heard this.

+K to TGP for Brass Bonanza.

The Rev used to go to Binghamton to watch the Binghamton Whalers...sure not the same as the Hartford Whalrers, but we took what we could get in the hinterlands.

Another snippet from the joke closet:

A student nurse enters a hospital room to find an elderly gentleman dressed, sitting on the bed, with a suitcase at his feet.  Despite his protests that he doesn't need any assistance to leave the hospital, and after explaining to him numerous times about the rules requiring wheelchair assistance, he finally relents.

In the elevator ride down she asks him if his wife is going to meet him in the lobby.  He replies, "I don't know since she is upstairs in her room changing from her hospital gown into her dress."

Ah rules - without common sense and a well-armed intellect - they are a recipe for chaos and disaster.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate the Resurrection or even merely enjoy a peep, jelly bean, or the occasional Cadbury egg!

DLIP, maybe you should just root for Duke.  You are obviously a moosh.  Do us ALL a favor and throw down a quick hundo on Duke, and your wishes just may come true.

dlip agrees with the Dogg 100% here.

Not to change the subject, but Pep is posting this over here where there appears to be some life, unlike the E8 board which has long since been abandoned....

So Pep, delighted with weather that certainly appeared to have started out as an April Fool's joke, hit the Ade outdoor basketball court the past few days.

After an 8:45 a.m. Easter breakfast with ham, hash browns, cinnamon roll(s), scrambled eggs, juice and coffee at Houghton, a burger and fries for lunch after church, then a family ham dinner after which Pep shot the moon in the last hand to win a game of Hearts, Pep hit the Ade court, proceeding to unload toxic gaseous bombs. There is no truth to the rumor that Pep's offensive performance contributed to a split of the two games played.

After the game, Pep had a nice chat with AU backup QB TJ Kilcarr, an opponent on the court, replaying the Fisher and UR games in which Kilcarr played a major role. Kilcarr expressed his appreciation for the band, indicating that the band's travel to all the Saxon away contests "gave the Saxons the feel of Merrill on the road."

On another note, Pep is pumped that his top band recruit has been accepted, awarded an honors scholarship and by now has likely paid his deposit. The recruit is a transfer from a Pennsylvania community college who can play sousaphone, baritone and/or euphonium. And, by the way, he shares Pep's name and was recruited via Facebook. Now, to land another trombone and some more trumpets from the freshman class!

TGP has a small representative sample but in general, any and everyone who he's met that went to Duke = a massive douche.

Not sure what the correlation is there, but TGP will be rooting for the Butler Hoosier big time tomorrow.

And hey - welcome back to beisbol!  The Sox-Yanks serve up another entertaining match up with the Sox rallying (twice) to win it.  161 games to go but still a perfect end to a great Easter Sunday.

Hope everyone enjoyed the Holiday.

TGP expects about a Level 2 (perhaps 3) tomorrow.

Houghton, KS thought nobody knew where Houghton was.  KS nephew went to Houghton and ran track and x-country was then the assistant track and x-c coach until he got the job at Eastern Mennonite.  KS went to Houghton once, it was closed.
