Stupid crap like the HR party is exactly the reason TGP loves "The Office".  The comedy (and stupidity) that ensues in the workplace can often defy logic.

RT - TGP sends his best to PapaRT.  TGP's family went thru a similiar experience (but with TGP's grandmother) back in 2005.  

TGP will likely be shutting it down for the rest of the season - got TGP's folks arriving from the East Coast tomorrow and doing the whole family vacation thing.  Then it's Xmas, holiday parties, etc, etc.  

Wishing all in the LLPP a happy holiday season!

will TGP be back after said holidays?

bigdvs seem to remember an article in the TU where they added in all of Ms. Jackson's benefits ( like a Chauffered Benz) and she was actually the highest paid president in the nation. Roger Hull was in his finally year in 2005, which may help to explain how he got over the 1 mil mark. bigdvs does not believe President Analay is making that much in year one.

When I was Editor-in-Chief of Union's student paper (Concordiensis), we got ahold of the school's tax return.  It listed Hull's 1996 or 1997 income as being ~$200,000 plus housing.  I'm not sure how they account for the benefits in Hull's figures...but inflation to the point of $1 million seems a little weird.  I'd be interested in seeing the computation.

Fisher,

Good luck next week.  You embarrassed Union, which, if it wasn't for the LL E8 bragging rights, I would be happier than a pig in a pile of poo.  Union deserves to lose.  I'm sure Audino had everyone thinking the RPI game was a fluke and they should roll Fisher.  Well, it didn't happen, and not only did you lose.  You embarrassed yourselves.

Now, I don't want to rattle Union guys on here the wrong way.  That isn't about you, but more about your coach, and the rivalry that has ensued over the years. 

Gro has wanted to say basically the same thing about union.  Gro has much respect for the school in schenectady, having met plenty of players during my time at RPI, as well as the guys on the posts.

BUT, there's that damned union arrogance (2nd only to Ithaca) that surfaces more times than it should. This year was highlighted by union's favorite dad poster DEA. Saying that the shoes game wasn't important was stupid. Union came out flat and lost not only to their rival, but a home playoff game.  Well, we all know how this story ends so I won't repeat it.  Once union learns a little humility, they might actually accomplish the things they already think they derserve.

U89 knows of the LLPP, Inc. RPI hatred for Union.....but come on...don't hold us all up to a players dad from the west coast who has made more dumbazz posts than even our old friend RedStorm!!

Those college presidents have it made.  I know the BU president lives in a tax-free 10 million dollar home with servants up the wazoo.

U-89, ZA agrees that a lot of folks are using one or two posters to demonstrate this arrogance....It exists everywhere on every team with someone...ZA knows for instance, that Audino did NOT think for a minute the RPI game was a fluke....He was majorly concerned before the game, and a hundred more times concerned after the game, yet there's this assumption that he was probably arrogant.  We used to get mad at him because he worries about every game, even the ones they were supposed to and did win by 35 or more....IF you want to worry a coach, be in a program that's expected to win and usually does....Then try to keep your players in the mindset they have to be in to play their best and win....Your almost guaranteed a let down because players, if anyone, sometimes take things for granted...Seldom does a head coach.  Assistants can get cocky too sometimes, but seldom the head coach....

ZA wants Union to "kill" RPI every year because he is a UNION fan...AND its a rivalry.  ZA has witnessed bad behavior by RPI fans in the stands and around the field, just as he has at Union....BUT, those fans are truly in the minority...MOST RPI fans have been gracious and fun to sit with and banter back and forth with without getting out of control.....ZA thinks most Union fans are the same way....

Perhaps its the LLPP that's improving things and making it all more fun in the long run!

What a great country!!!  Can we hear a song to the tune of "Ebony and Ivory"...

"Un...i...on...and RPI, together in perfect harmony"...Wow, doesn't rhyme or sound right....Guess it will never happen!!!!

Rolevio agrees with this sentiment.

He would also like to add it makes him sick that a hack like Roger Hull made that sort of cash while at Union.

[Senor RedTackle]

Hey..thanks to everyone who's been sending along best wishes for PopsRT...RT thinks we got out in front of this early enough so fingers are crossed that we'll keep trucking as normal. RT appreciates all the kind words......makes RT feel bad everytime he rags on the U, 'Bart, etc.....but some things have to go on, no matter how hard!!!!!!

[Rolevio]

Rolevio looked for Michael Irvin's tie know at the half time show, it was fairly big, but not as big as he believes it has been.

[PBR...]

pbr guesses michael is off the smack tonight so he figured out how to do a tie knot....rather than looping it over and over again strung out from the pipe...

[Touchdown Tommy]

Where is Regulator?  Are we gonna have to issue an APB for REG soon?  Eerily similar to the mysterious disappearance of Holladawg...

GrO: Aren't you on the Mike Irvin tie watch?  TDT has noticed that there are nights that it is the size of a baseball.  Tonite it is crooked which obviously completely ruins the 5K dollah suit...

RT: Yes, TDT would think this trip this weekend is quite similar to the Troy to Collegeville trip.  Sweet charter, in and out all in the same day.  Forecast is for snow and sh!tty weather, ho hum.

RT had a situation today that he felt compelled to post about to get the perspective of LLPP, Inc.

RT is sitting in the doctor's office for a routine visit. Sitting across from RT is a suspect looking couple bordering on trailer trash. They have a couple of kids with them...an infant and a toddler. The kids are there to get some shots. The mother takes the infant in first and leaves poppa trash with the toddler in the waiting room w/ RT and some other patients. The toddler is screaming up a storm b/c she just came out of the office after getting shots. Toddler did not like said shots. RT is cool w/ that...hell, he didn't like nasty needles either when he was 3.

So toddler is still crying and poppa trash starts getting angry and begins handling the toddler a little too rough for RT's taste. He is berating her loudly then pushing her forcefully into the chair. He then forces her across his lap and pins her down w/ one leg to try to get her to stop crying. RT is sitting w/ the Mrs and we're both incredulous. The girl tries to wiggle out of the leg hold and the guy slams the 3 yr old into the chair...he pushes her too hard and makes her head hit off the wall. The waiting room is full of elderly patients, RT and MRT, and everyone is stunned but don't know what to say.

Now RT is not married (yet) and has no kids...but he has nieces & nephews and is a friend to little ones. After the last manhandle which RT though was abuse, RT kind of snapped and got up and jumped over in front of the guy and basically threatend to beat the s*#t out of the dude if he manhandled his daughter again. RT suggested that if 40 year old trailer trash was so full of energy, RT would be happy to oblige him in the office right here.  For the first time in his relationship, RT's lady did not take umbrance with an aggressive RT confronting another person.

So the question....is RT out of line intervening in a public place in between a father and his toddler, who was clearly being handled in a way which crossed the line to potential abuse? This is sensitive for RT because RT recalls being spanked as a kid here and there when he deserved it (and probably deserved more than he got) and don't feel he ever needed someone to step in. Also, RT doesn't want some clown trying to poke in RT's business some day w/ his own kids when he has them....you had to be there to appreciate it but it just didn't sit well with RT the way this dude was pushing around his 3 year old who didn't like being in a doctor's office getting a needle stuck in her. When her head hit the wall b/c of this guy, RT snapped......

pg04 thinks you did the right thing.  There is no call for such behavior from parents, and it could be considered abuse.
