maddmaxx ★ Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2015 Remember that I attended Rensselaer back in an era when engineers really wore white shirts ties and pocket protectors. In the early 60's Rensselaer had the longest college football loosing streak in history at that time.I often wondered if it was the engineer in them that contributed to the problem.Repel them. Repel them. Make them relinquish the ball. Does that really do it for the football in you? How aboutRay ra ree. Hit them in the knee. Ray ra roch. Hit them in the other knee. Fortunately there was hockey season. How do engineers learn to play hockey? Are there really smart Canadians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is you should have applied to Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted September 22, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) It could have been worse. He could have went to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. I don't think they've ever won a football game. Edited September 22, 2015 by JerrySTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted September 23, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2015 Better engineers would have modified the football for perfect flight in passing and field goal kicking.That and/or created incentives (distilled pure alcohol, pheromones for attracting females) for athletes to sign up for the team.

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 23, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2015 or Clarkson! Do you honestly think Clarkson would have been better than Rensselaer? I'm sort of guessing one, regretfully, would have been pretty much the same as the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, we had SUNY-Potsdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 24, 2015 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2015 I suspect they all would have been the same to me. Actually, if you had applied and graduated from Union it would have meant that you were more intelligent, more handsome, a better judge of fine wine, better mannered, more articulate, more able to leap taller buildings in a single bound, with countless ladies of all reputations swooning at your feet than if you had attended Rensselaer or Clarkson.

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted September 24, 2015 Actually, if you had applied and graduated from Union it would have meant that you were more intelligent, more handsome, a better judge of fine wine, better mannered, more articulate, more able to leap taller buildings in a single bound, with countless ladies of all reputations swooning at your feet than if you had attended Rensselaer or Clarkson. The real secret. Who knew that a physics major could learn to eek out a small income shooting pool or that so many women from Albany State were also regularly skipping classes. These skills learned in a prestigious school would stand by me well during my soon to be 8 year career in the Navy. The Physics classes were wonderful. We spent months manipulating essentially frictionless circular "pucks" filled with dry ice and floating on an air cushion through inelastic collisions tracing their paths and calculating the results. In the following months I gained an instinctive understanding of how circular (in 2d) objects interacted and how to judge their relative motion.
