CU at RPI

I hope I am not breaking any rules or sacred traditions by starting a thread, but I wanted to let everyone who wasn't going to the hockey game know that we will be streaming the game tomorrow. The game is free, and is going to be here starting at 6:45pm. Plase feel free to share the link; the more the merrier. Maybe we can show you a thing or two about doing streaming right :-D

As frequent visitors here know, RPI's video streams are fantastic. Whatever quantity of lawyers, guns and money would be required to get their production staff to do our games would be well worth it.

Thank you for streaming the game and for letting us know.

The trick is convincing my parents that having a computer at the dinner table streaming Cornell hockey is indeed proper etiquette. In case my parents go all "Miss Manners" on me, will there be an archived version of the game available later in the evening? Stupid Redcast does not yet the Cornell-Union game archived yet.

Looking forward to RPI's videocast. As Trotsky said, we would LOVE to have you stream Cornell games.

It takes a few days for the archive to show up at RPI.

I've been trying to get a basic copy of the live stream up right after the game - tonight's is actually higher quality then live, but there is a bunch of time at the beginning of the clips, they haven't been edited yet. Also, depending on what time I wake up in the morning, I *might* have DVR setup.

The streaming is actually the easy part - I graduated last year, and I haven't been within 180 miles of for any of the hockey games, and I manage the streaming remotely. Its the crew that does the actual production that is the hard part. It would be awesome if if Cornell were to have a student run TV organization - Cornell has the student base to support one, and it would be great to have another group to work with. We do a lot of our own development in house, like our instant replay and graphics, and it would be perfect to collaborate with another engineering school on projects.

I hope to talk to some of you in the chat tomorrow; here's to a good game!

Is this stream playable in non-flash capable devices?

USCHO thread for RPI/Union weekend: Hilarious incensed complaints about a Colgate hit on RPI's Ryan Haggerty in the last few seconds of their game last night. They're looking for a game miconduct /DQ. Why hilarious? They illustrate their point with a Youtube vid from our 2009 game at RPI when Bergdorfer got a game DQ for running our Taylor Davenport into the boards at the buzzer - a play that they all were justifying at the time as playing hard until the end.

RPI dishes it out but...

There's also more of the annual RPI mantra that the refs are all against them, all the time.::wank::

Of course, don't they know the refs are always against us :-P

Thanks RPI, you guys set the standard. Why Cornell can't do what you guys do leaves us baffled. I know we all have discussed many times that hiring an outside entity is all about the bottom line not the quality. Last nights Union broadcast was horrendous, I think they brought over a former red cast camera operator to do the game. Audio was never fixed entire game. Tonight will be nice, and its free, go figure the best things in life are free.

flyersgolf · January 19, 2013, 12:38:02 PM

Thanks Mackek2. Cornell actually thinks that making the little money they do off their red cast without any student involvement is less problematic than trying to let students gain valuable experience for future endeavors. We filmed Cornell games with my room mates beta camera in the 80's. Wow do I sound old. I announced my room mate filmed. Little did we know you could make a career out it. We were just having fun.

Johnny 5 asked a good question about being able to watch RPI TV on non flash mobile devices.

FlagDUDE's logic is sometimes hard to understand. He inserted that video about Erik Burgdoerfer's hit in this post in response to something from another poster about another player. Why he inserted that I don't know, but wasn't Erik suspended? He didn't play in RPI's next three games. I think that was his point, that Erik was suspended, so therefore the Colgate player should be.

As to the refs being against RPI, we are still paying back for getting the benefit of the Refs not calling George Servinis as offsides in the 1985 championship game vs. Providence.

Hopefully mackek2 will come here again and answer your question. It has been asked before on USCHO and answered, but I didn't pay attention. It does play for me on a PC using Chrome where I have disabled flash, but I don't know if that helps.

TimV · January 19, 2013, 02:24:26 PM

Right, Ralph - I got that. My point is that at the time Burgdorf's hit happened, it was hailed and lauded as playing hard to the end of the game. Exact same circumstances as the hit on Haggerty last night that is now being decried as unsportsmanlike and unnecessary by the exact same characters.

I chose not to answer that part. ::whistle::

Seriously, you must realize that there are quite a lot of RPI fans who post on USCHO, just like there are a lot of Cornell and who post here, and opinions vary. If you read that, you may have noticed that our views on Seth Appert run from total incompetence to the greatest since Uncle Ned. We don't all agree! Also there is sadly a lot of turnover of posters from year to year. One thing that differentiates RPI and Cornell posters is that as far as I can tell, most, if not all, of the Cornell posters are either students or alums, while in addition RPI has a lot of posters who are local fans with no connection to the 'Tute. That is probably due to there being many more people in the Albany metro area than in Ithaca. Locals appear to have different demands upon the program than stduents and alums. However, indeed the general view of RPI fans was that Burgdoerfer was just playing hard while Larkin is a goon. All I can say is that we are fans.

And I repeat, if Eric Burgdoerfer deserved a multigame suspension then so does Larkin. That statement is just based upon consistency, not my opinion on whether or not either should be suspended.
