Re: >>>>> RIT TIGERS 2009-2010 <<<<< Rockin' Part 2 - The Playoffs
OMG stop, can you not read between the lines and find out what is really going on here. Komey is making a well thought out statement and your comparing apples to oranges. Komey's comment about recuriting and winning AHA regular seson titles is legitimate.
A recurit sees that and knows that this team can obviously compete against this conference. And if they win the conference tourament go to the NCAA. Since this team is finishing 2 or higher every year, they rank up good compare to the other teams, and have a better chance than most to make the NCAAs. Therefore, I may want to go to that school, because they win a lot and odds are they will win their conference tourament at some point and go to the NCAAs.
Your talking about winning the AHA tourament every year, which would be nice, and certainly help recuriting, but is a very lofty goal that RIT is building towards, but can not happen over night. A dynasty takes time.
It is beyond mind boggling that more people with an RIT background are not getting simple arithmetic. The conference overal record effect RIT strength of schedule and all AHA teams had bad out of conference records. Most of these OOC games are early season and on the road. They are the weakest conference so that is what they are stuck with. That fact alone makes it virtually impossible to get an at large bid right now. Last year was about as good chance of any that the AHA had for an at large bid. Air Force and RIT were both dominate. However, if you looked at the numbers at the end, you would have found that Air Force would not have had the numbers for an at large bid unless they had won the AHA Tourament, which of of course make the at large bid a moot point. The AHA has gotten better each year RIT has been in it, and the addition of Niagara and Robert Morris will make it even better...
You know, there are some people on this board smarter than me, there are even more who are not as smart as me. However, fewer go to as many college hockey games as I do. Many of you make about all the home games which is great, but how many of you drove out to Clarkson, Saint Lawrence, and West point this year? I still say if you had saw that Saint Lawrence game you would feel a lot better about RIT chances if they make the NCAAs. I am not saying anyone is smarter than anyone else here, but there are those who have a lot more experiance watching this team and Tiger teams of years past. And they all seem to be saying the same thing, and others who have not been to as many RIT games seem to be saying another thing....
