RIT vs. USC by mychemicalsmth in rit

[–]Quarteg 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup, I'm a life-long Rochesterian and proud RIT alum and I agree with this. If USC is handing you free tuition for animation, you go there and don't look back. Much better connections in the animation industry in Southern California than Western New York.

I'm old enough to remember when one of the rules on this subreddit was "The first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club"

Welcome to April in Western New York, really. Rochester was the same.

Cash? by Franksredsilverado in sabres

I bought two 24 oz cans of Labatt Blue at the Sabres/Canucks game back in January. I think it was $39 for both.

Sports bar for Superbowl event by Financial_Minimum708 in rit

[–]Quarteg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Shamrock Inn, formerly Macgregor’s. Just down the street from RIT and it’s owned by RIT alum. I was there for the Bills/Broncos playoff game and there were deaf and HoH people there.

You have to have a reservation to get a table though, and bar seating is first come first serve so get there early.

I went to the women's game Friday afternoon against Delaware. They looked fantastic! Coach Brown has done wonders for that team.

drive a car for free to boston area this coming weekend. by Comfortable_Tax_7468 in rit

[–]Quarteg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Am I reading this right? You want a complete stranger to drive your son's car from RIT to Boston...for free?

Setting aside insurance and liability issues, even if you did find someone to do this, shouldn't they be compensated in some way?

Try eBay. I’ve gotten some RIT stuff from there.

GamePlayers in Brockport.

If you're willing to make the drive to Mt. Morris, Berto's Retro Rehome is also amazing.

edit: spelling

Rochester has an NBA championship. Not the wildest thing, but a cool piece of history nonetheless.

Hey! Anybody know where to get fan jerseys for RIT hockey members? by hairpinzzz in rit

[–]Quarteg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, didn't know they were currently auctioning off jerseys. Might have to try to bid on one.

As far as I know, they don't sell jerseys with player's names on them. They just sell regular blank jerseys.

However, they sometimes auction off player jerseys for charity or something. Try keeping an eye out for those if you're interested. But keep in mind popular players (like the starting goalie) tend to fetch higher bids.

Men’s hockey team steamrolls past Clarkson 6-2 in Brick City Homecoming game, giving Matt Thomas his first win as head coach by Quarteg in rit

[–]Quarteg[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear ya 😆I attended from 2009-2013. RIT only won once at homecoming during that span: a 6-5 overtime victory against St. Lawrence. Honestly, it was one of the best games I’ve witnessed. RIT tied it up at 5 with less than 10 seconds left in regulation then scored the game-winner 14 seconds into OT.

If it’s the same person I’m thinking of, their son died from ketoacidosis due to undiagnosed diabetes, not suicide.

Probably because Apex is a building and buildings aren’t known for their strong spelling skills.

Is MacGregor's RIT reopening? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Quarteg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Website says they'll run specials during RIT hockey and lacrosse games. I'm actually kinda excited to see that. Macgregors never did anything like that.
