2019-02-02: Cornell 1 RPI 1 (ot)

Cornell ............ 41    1   2.4%
RPI     ............ 15    1   6.7% [code]
If Cornell doesn't let in the late goal, Matt Galajda might've been goalie of the week. Now it's RPI freshman goaltender Owen Savory, who's given up 2 goals in three games the past week against Union, Colgate and Cornell - 112 saves, .982 SV%.

Although Cornell has an overwhelming edge over the years against RPI, RPI has had a number of significant wins vs. the Big Red. E.g., the December 1968 game which I use in my avatar here.

I really don't give a shit, Ralph. Don't you think it's time to grow up and forget this?

Not as long as our last NCAA title was 1970.  RPI, it should be noted, has had one since the Nixon administration.

The RPI-Union game was nonleague. I don't think that it is supposed to count for ECAC awards.

Though they have not scored a single goal in an NCAA tournament game since then, so I hope it was worth it.

Donaldson won POTW for his performance vs Arizona State. Regush ROTW for the Northern Michigan series. They give out these awards every week, even during non-league play.

I imagine it was.

So if we somehow won the NC this year (we can dream, right?), what "price" would you be willing to pay for that?  Going 10 years without an NCAA tournament win? 20 years? something else?

I'm sure they covered this on The Good Place.

Expected value calculations collapse in scenarios like that.  That's why utilitarianism is stupid.

This is a conversation absolutely no one on this forum wants to read, but I don't understand why "EV calculations" would "collapse" or why this scenario would make utilitarianism "stupid."

Fuck em.  They don't have to read if they don't want to.

Hey, you people?  You don't have to read if you don't want to!

Because qualities like "happiness" don't behave as quantities like "liters of water." John Stuart Mill was a very nice man, at least after he had his breakdown, and a very, very smart man, but all his work relies on a category error.  From what I understand of him had he realized this it would have given him a good laugh.

That's why the hypothetical above is a nonsense question.  It reduces to "in order to be happy would you be unhappy?"  The logical answer to which is "fuck art let's dance."

Anyone know why the band didn't make the trip to RPI this weekend?

On the level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the imbecile flatness of the present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

According to Jim Hyla the band plans to make the final two trips to the away series in the coming weeks.

He and I both think the shabby treatment by Union last year factored into the decision to skip RPI and Union.  They treated the band like shit and then denied it all when faced with a letter that Jim wrote to complain.  

Short version IIRC,  the band was told they couldn't play unless Cornell scored. They were told no playing before the game,  no playing during breaks in the action,  and no playing between periods.

The band president negotiated a few concessions and I was amazed at his poise but it really stunk.  In order to play the Alma Mater the band reassembled outside the rink after the game.

Thank God they're having a crap year.

Correct. I talked to someone connected to the band, but not in it and their comment was that the band was quite upset with what happenned at Union. They felt that it was one reason for not making the trip. Another was money, that I believe was the main reason they didn't go to Colgate. If enough people had signed up for the CHA bus to Colgate, then they would have gone on that bus. Since the CHA couldn't find enough fans to fund their bus, the band stayed home.

Band trips are expensive and they just don't have enough money to do it all.

Donate and help them out.
