Cornell @ RPI, 2/13/26

[fastforward]

Our family have eaten at Plum Blossom once or twice a year for about 18 years  -  really enjoy the  atmosphere and the food is better Chinese than anything I have had in the local area here (Binghamton - Ithaca).
Best of luck ...

Plum Blossom is almost always a hit.  Not a Chinatown experience but the owners are always busting their butts to keep things running smoothly.  A nice couple who have transformed a crappy bar into a little palace of a restaurant.  The owner's hobby is architecture and the result is fine.

Picked up take out this evening.

Looks awesome

It is a great place run by good people.  Anne has been going there for 30 years.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pre-game meal in beautiful Troy?

Browns Brewing Company is good, and there is a Dinosaur Barbeque there.

I forgot to mention The Red Front, Division St.  They were making Detroit style pizza when Detroit was still a French trading post. Ask for cheese on the bottom i.e., under the sauce.

Big weekend tonight across a lot of Cornell sports.

RPI/Union in MIH
SLU/CLK in WIH
P/P in MBB (all due respect to WBB but they're two games back of the ILT so it's not must-see tv yet)
Albany MLax to kick off the season (someone lmk if WLax is a team I should be watching this year)
Binghamton in wrestling (won't be close but could have some interesting info about how the lineup is evolving)

I'm sure there are other sports I don't pay attention to unless we're going to make national noise as well.

Tonight, with ECAC derp pct:

Code Select Expand

.750 Cor @ .271 RPI
.750 Drt @ .375 Yal
.625 Hvd @ .229 Brn
.521 Cgt @ .438 Uni

Idle:

.792 Qpc
.646 Prn
.389 Clk
.259 SLU
After Sunday's completion of the Qpc/Prn home and home, conference GP will be unfucked and we can compare on simple derp points.

Our magic number (in derp points) w/ Dartmouth for a share of the Ivy title is 2.  Outright is 3, which we have in our power at Princeton but hey I'd still take any help Yale and Brown can give.

I guess they're... Trying to give him a rep...? In a game against a weak opponent...??

This is genuinely giving me a headache.

Stanley, Castagna, Stanley, Castagna. Tongue twisters with the Big Red.

RPI sweaters are very nice.  PP.

Bruveris is balling right now, we could have 3 or 4 with the way we've been playing

[Trotsky]

That is three pucks that crept under CU sticks in perfect rebound situations.  So close.

Veiiii-yeah. Veiii-yeah. (To the tune of Hey Ya, mimicking the announcer.)
