ASU article on yesterday's game http://www.thesundevils.com/ViewArti...CLID=210579203. Amazingly it does not mention a single RPI player by name.


Thanks to Powers for saying that RPI is hard working. We may be strong, and he would have been correct calling us experienced, but although ASU is mainly freshmen, their average age is actually a half year more than RPI's.

ASU http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.p...r0=&team=18066 21.69 years
RPI http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.php?year0=&team=1758 21.19 years
(The averages are after the rosters on each page.)

A team with a roster made up predominantly by freshman has an older average age than our team? Guess they don't support the B1G's proposal.

“That team is old and strong,” Powers said. “That was probab;y the hardest working team we played.”

What RPI still can't do is win the faceoff battle.

Pashovitz sure saw a lot of rubber tonight.

Do the Sun Devils send him back out again tomorrow night, or do they consider that he has already given them enough work for one weekend and start one of their other goalies?

You could have been in an accelerated program.

There are so smart people who attend RPI, but not THAT smart.

It is a long way from a club program to an NCAA program.

Gotta start somewhere!

Too bad you missed it - Tom Clancy was pretty entertaining, as far as those things go!

Thanks to all who responded to my question.
But it still looks to me like ASU's program is going to be out there all by itself. Which means a lot of travel expenses. I guess if the reason was money, than they must know what they are doing.

They're also, you know, Arizona State.

Looks like ASU brought their weather with them to Troy for the weekend.

Unless there is a Phil Knight or Terry Pegula behind the scenes of whom we are unaware...

My ASU alum friend said ~ half of the Pac12 have club teams and/or are looking to develop into a legit league.

I would have been about two weeks old for RPI's commencement ceremony in 1992.

Hey, I took a shot. Since I've never met you, I figured it was either the year you were born or the year you graduated. Sorry.

No worries! I graduated from RPI in 2013.
