Not sure if its still the case but back in the day on a visit to W&L TGP saw more hot gals per capita than any eastern school he had visited.

Just sayin.....

StLarry's brother went to W&L.  It's true.

Kind of makes you wonder why you went to SLU right? 

I had similar thoughts when I enrolled at USC for grad school.  If I had known about Pac10 girls when I was 17 or 18 it's likely I would have moved to Los Angeles right then and there instead of waiting a couple of years after graduating from Hobart....

roger that...when seeing pepperdine for the first time pbr knew exactly why pop pbr pulled that option off the table....between surfing and girls pbr never would of been in class

If LD11 could go back in time, he probably would have gone to a beachside, warm climate, d1 or d2 baseball school, and then maybe went to a cold northern school for grad school.

TGP....does Hobart offer D-I athletic scholarships for LAX, and do kids earning them generally play football or is that a no-no?

As others have posted, Hobart doesn't offer scholarships for lax. But even those schools who do, only have 12 total scholarships for the team, so their ends up being a lot of 1/2 and 1/4 rides. Given the lineup of D1 lax schools (Ivys, Hopkins, ACC, etc.), they tend for the most part to be expensive. Financial Aid is usually the way to offset the cost, not scholarships. And as the sport has boomed, the number of D1 programs has remained relatively constant, so it is an extremely competitive field.

And also, a ton of great DIII schools with strong lax/ football teams, who allow students to play both.

Speaking of Football/Lax athletes.....Doid played both at Union.

Didn't The Rev. rate the Hobart women a few years ago.  As I recall, it wasn't very high.

That's cause Rev is a troll

TGP saw plenty of attractive WS ladies over his time in Geneva, but then again TGP was in a band...

But most of them were also noticing the attractive WS ladies.  And seeing TGP was in a band, he was seeing them through beer and or other substance goggles.

TGP won't confirm or deny said allegations.

He was StLarry's younger brother, so didn't get a chance to scout the talent until too late.  StLarry currently resides in South Carolina, and can highly recommend southern girls.  No a whole lot of lax down here though.

dlip is getting a little annoyed with losing 3 karma points in less than 24 hours. He can understand one or possibly two for his previous post, but three? Man try to speak your mind and ya just get nailed...figuratively

TGP's Hobart-RPI game preview is up

An excerpt is below:

Keys to the game:
1. Turnovers – RPI ranks second in the LL with a +4 turnover margin. Last season Hobart took advantage of two Engineer turnovers – first being a fumble on a punt that set up a 28 yard Conor Callahan FG and the second being a John Kelliher interception of Hermann at the Hobart 46 and returning it 43 yards to the RPI 11. A few plays later, RB Andrew Marlier '10 punched in the only TD for either team on the day. Hermann was picked three times in last year's contest, but he's a year older and wiser coming into this game. Although Hermann trails Vella in passing yards, touchdowns and efficiency; the SO has thrown four less interceptions than the Hobart QB.

2. Balance – Hobart and RPI's rushing and pass defense are virtually even, with the Engineers allowing a few less YPG than the Statesmen. The difference in the game could be Hobart's passing attack as the Statesmen are currently #1 in the LL averaging 233 YPG thru the air. That said I wouldn't be surprised to see a defensive struggle with Hobart having to grind out tough yards like they did in 2009. Hobart racked up 156 yards rushing in that game. The Engineers made the passing game virtually non-existent holding QB Doug Vella to a season low 37 yards passing and an interception. However, RPI has only allowed five rushing TDs this season, so FY RB Steven Webb may not see the end zone as much as he has in prior weeks, thus putting the game in the hands of Vella and his trio of WRs Muratori, Woodard and Lazore. Last season Hobart negated McCarthy holding him to only two catches for 14 yards. If the Statesmen can force Hermann to try and run the ball himself, we could see some hurried throws (or fumbles) that could lead to turnovers for RPI.

3. Focus (i.e., just win) – The Statesmen will likely know the outcome of the Rochester vs. Saint Lawrence game as early as the first quarter given the later kickoff against RPI (this game is 2 pm start, while the Saints and Jackets game starts at 12 pm). It is possible that the Statesmen could have a letdown if the Saints win and know their NCAA hopes are dashed. Obviously the Statesmen would be bolstered by a Saints loss, but it is my hope that Hobart will remain focused regardless of the outcome.

something for all LLPP'rs to aspire to....

     NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- A New York man who has eaten at
White Castle every Friday for the past four years is being
inducted into the restaurant's "Cravers Hall of Fame."
     White Castle officials said Victor Gradowski, 27, will be
one of 13 frequent diners to be inducted during a Nov. 16
ceremony in Columbus, Ohio, the New York Daily News reported
Wednesday.
     "I feel very, very honored, very excited," Gradowski said.
"It's almost like a dream come true."
     "I will never be President; I will never be a football
player," Gradowski said. "But I am a White Castle Hall of
Famer."
     White Castle officials said this year's inductees were
chosen from 1,350 nominations.
     "If there ever was a worthy inductee, I think Victor is
that person," said Jamie Richardson, White Castle's vice
president of corporate relations.

Saw a pic of the dood in an NYC paper... he ain't a big pile of goo as one would expect.  White Castle may be his once a week vice.
