It bears repeating that an RPI engineer is purported to have had a hand in the bridge design.

UM may be able to verify.

That bridge has serious moves.

That bridge has serious moves.

That's why it has the nickname Galloping Gertie. The current Tacoma Narrows bridge is far less entertaining.

It's been quite a few years, but I recall that in a Freshman physics lecture, we were told that an RPI engineer had designed the bridge, I found no mention of RPI in connection with that bridge from a Google search.

I just watched the ESPN E60 documentary Paid to Play, narrated by Jeremy Schaap. It provides an excellent recap of how we go to this point in college sports.

Although it begins and ends with Schaap in an empty Yale Bowl, it never talks about how this sea change in college athletics affects schools like the Ivy League. But it did have a segment on Clarkson hockey, interviewing the coach and the AD, who both spoke about the challenges of having to compete with big-time sports schools. One of them said that if Clarkson and Michigan State are both recruiting the same player, Clarkson won't be able to compete financially with whatever Michigan State offers that player.

Wikipedia says that the responsible guy earned his civil engineering degree from Columbia University.

Interesting that he is buried in the same cemetery that my parents, my mother's parents, and my brother are buried. Eventually, so will my sister-in-law and I.

BU v Harvard on a Monday night. Aka hatewatch of the century for many.

Cool stat on the broadcast: Sucks is 0-6-1 vs teams in the top 20 of USCHO... and 7-0-0 vs all other teams.

Was 0-1 Sucks after 1. BU scored 2 quick ones in the 2nd.

Using my newly found toy on CHN to compute hypothetical NPIs...

We're currently at an NPI of 55.89. It goes to 55.93 with a Sucks win and to 55.80 if Sucks stays true to form and loses. So..."Go Sucks?"

Eugh. Throwing up in my mouth. How about just "screw BU"?

We play Harvard at least twice this year so we have a strong preference for them winning.
