The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60

[Fighting Sioux 23]

As usual, I am confused. RPI's historic NCAA Tournament record is in the red, so if you transpose it, I would expect them to get more, not fewer points.

Correct. And if I had transposed them they would have been green before the correction, which is why they lost points following the correction.

I understand it now.

Just a quick update, I'll be posting #15-11 next weekend, and then the Top 10 the following weekend. I've been in back-to-back trials the last couple weeks, but we should finish up the second one this week.

Do them while the judge reads jury instructions. Everyone will be asleep.

Wonder if he's ever tried the 'ol, "Don't sell yourself short judge. You're a tremendous slouch". I've heard it's a great ice-breaker.

Nice!

I think I asked many moons ago - you live in the Clark area? I lived there in PI when Clark and Subic were operational. Went to high school in Manila but went to the bases for sports events. The revolution was my during my senior year.

Yes - technically in Angeles but I work at new office space they built at SM Clark. Been here since 2015 after first moving to Cavite in Aug 2014.

I also just realized that my "5-year Total" Points is actually just the last 4 years. I won't go back through and correct them all, as it still shows the program's general trend.

Check back in next year for the 10th Anniversary thread...which also means that I'll have a 10-year trend to follow!
