Best thing RPI could do is play a crisp 1st quarter and put a few scores on the board. 

The Stim know past failures or successes mean little to current players, but if it was me and I was part of a program that hadn't beat a "rival/trophy game" foe in 12 years I would be a bit pumped up to rip someones head off.

Let's hope RPI understands this and comes out with the same level of energy.

Or isn't wound up so tight that they can't play in the first half.  I think that is half their problem.  They get a little too wound up and afraid to make mistakes that they don't just come out and play early on.

2:00pm start times are very indicative this season of day trips (or 2:30pm or 6:00pm for that matter).  I'm not even bothering to check with the schools about this because there's a huge correlation between schools 2 to 3 1/2 hours away from the host school having 2:00+ kickoffs this year.  The economy is causing this, but I wonder if it won't become permanent since once budgets drop, they never go back to their old levels in D3 sports-land...

Any Union guys have news on the Holmes & Kaliades injuries?

U89 agrees, I hate the 6:00pm start.  As a player its even worse....getting back to campus at 1:00am is very detrimental to celebrating time....especially after a big 'W'.

If Kaliadies is down dlip will be very pissed. This kid is a very solid athlete and class act. To have ANOTHER serious injury would suck ass. dlip is hoping the best for both Chuck and Holmes.

Pulitzer material.  Seriously.

We cashed an entire jumbo jug of sangria.  I didn't think I was too bad, and I don't feel like it this morning, but I don't really remember going to bed.  That stuff is like magical potion.

Closed circuit to Gro,

I have to be in Nashville for a mediation next week and have an event I have to make it back for the same night.  How long is the drive from downtown Nashville to the airport going to take me and how early do I need to be in the airport?  Give me some dirt on travelling in Music City
