RPI 2022-23: Return of the Schmidt and the Fans

[DrDemento]

For those looking for a favorable omen, RPI played in the Scotty Whitelaw Bowl once before, back in 2016. They defeated SUNY Maritime, 38-6, at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.

In the early years of the ECAC bowls, we were the beast of the east.

Odds makers have Alaska as a slight favorite (1/2 goal) for both games. Hope we can ride some momentum from that late goal victory over DC last weekend.

Some actual garbage in this article. Our commissioner admits that
1) the coaches were/are against the new playoff format
2) it was adopted to cut costs

So what do they do? Screw over the coaches, student-athletes, and fans to save a few bucks

Update for the football fans. We are a 10 point favorite in the bowl game this weekend at home. I hope we can find the offense to score enough to cover that spread. I am fairly sure our defense can hold most division III teams down and would love to see our boys finish this season off with their 8th win of the year!!

RPI is lucky their only down by 1. Completely dominated by Alaska. These boys look like someone filled their skates with cement.

There is nothing wrong about posting this here, but do you realize that there are threads in the score forum for each game for posting about games in progress? They can also be used before the game and soon after. The one for Friday's game https://fanforum.uscho.com/forum/col...rpi-11-18-2022. The one for Saturday's game https://fanforum.uscho.com/forum/col...urday-11-19-22. We could have used more posters on Friday.

The thread cannot be started before the day of the game. If we win, the person who started that thread starts the next thread. If we don't win (loss or a tie which now con only happen in an out-of-conference game) anyone can start the next thread.

It's always about the money.

It's always about the money.

The information was compiled by the Commissioner, and the decision was made by the ATHLETIC DIRECTORS.

Just wanted to highlight the "Tapatalk" app you can download to your phone that allows you to access the entire USCHO board, including the score updates. It's free and I like the interface. It allowed me to post some thoughts on the score thread from my seat at HFH last night.

For the football fans- RPI trailed virtually for 59 minutes. Defense played phenomenally as usual. Offense cam alive and scored in the final moments to win 10-6. Ends the season as 8-3 and wins another ECAC bowl games. Congrats to the boys who did almost everything you could to win this year. Go Red!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if there are any rules regarding when a player gets ejected from the game. I had always thought the player has to leave and go back to the locker room. However, yesterday when Alaska’s player was ejected, he sat by the blue curtain at the end of the field and finished watching the game. At one point he was standing by the railing by the Zamboni doors.
