RB- Is it just me, or has your daily posting suddenly lost color and become very pale? Started with the August 12th posting. Usually a sudden paleness cna indicate illness so hope all is OK.

If all schools do not participate this way, then we might be losing what little home advantage a loud cheering crowd can give a team. If this continues all season then perhaps we should retitle the Colgate home game as the Big No Color Freakout?

Perhaps the proper interpretation of that is only RPI students, faculty and employees are allowed? My take is that all of this changes within ~6 weeks or so as the Delta variant runs its course and vaccines are made available to kids 12 and under. That may mean an impact on the beginning of the season but by the 2nd half things should be approaching normalcy. Hopefully. Always best to have a glass half full outlook. That 6'6" kid does look like an interesting get.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Yes he could be
I think that Marshall, Baxter, and Sellar are the only ones with just one year left, although I suspect that some others will only stay one year.

We already sent our check in for tickets and parking and then the statement came out re: spectators. I appreciate the #1 goal has to be trying to have as normal a school year as possible. The more unknowns that can be eliminated the better. Look what’s happening in local school districts over mask requirements because people thought their kids wouldn’t be required to wear them. Parents threatening school board members and , in Shenendehowa, a parent was upset because if her daughter was being abducted, rape would be enabled because the girl would not be able to mouth “help me”. So I think there will be far less of an uproar if fans are not allowed than if the doors are opened and the virus continues to spread, as it is currently doing, and then having to reverse course. Remember lots of fans are kids who are not vaccinated.?I am disappointed, but not angry. Better to have games without fans than to have to shut down like last year.

Originally posted by jmhusker View PostNow there's a parent that never took a probability class. Been a lot of abductions and rapes at that school lately? We have a number of parents with similar thinking in our town too. Some are convinced that masks will be optional this fall. I suspect when the rules come out there will be similar invented concerns expressed.
