Read my entire reply and the question of which I was replying to, should be quite simple.
Sorry if it bothers the Utica fans but for a program such as UC to continually stack the deck with home games has none of my respect.

For the last two years all we've heard from you guys was how great your team was, bottom line, you finished dead last, in the Conference last season. Maybe this year is "Your year"?:rolleyes:

Neumann indeed did play Princeton last season, down in New Jersey. Lost something like 5-1. Not terrible against a D-I team if you ask me. :o:cool:

I would have liked to seen what Neumann would have done had Ross MacKinnon played the entire game or what Norwich/Dart would had been had Carroll not played the entire game. Not saying DIII=DI, but the top tier DIII teams could at least be competitive with the lower end DI teams. Is Noriwch, Oswego, Plattsburgh, SNC going to skate up and down the ice with a Boston College, Minnesota, Michigans and Denvers?? No. Could they win 1 out of 10? Maybe. Put them with the lower tier DI teams (Sacred Hearts, Army, AIC, Minn State, ect) and I think those said teams would be .500 at least.....

We've heard that from Elmira fans what seems to be forever jk. You're talking on deaf ears. They don't get it. When Utica's NC schedule becomes more 50/50 (with tough road games) I will probably put money down we will then see them in the NCAA's, and probably deep. Decent place to play, dont get me wrong, but until they start playing in big road games on a regular basis all they will enjoy is being the #1 attendance holders year in and year out.

Of course they show the Potsdam away game at Potsdam, NY when all of Potsdam's home games are supposed to be played at the Massena arena.

Oh well

Shhh, that's Potsdam's strategy this year. Win every home game by forfeit because their opponents never show up...

Massena Arena is actually closer for Plattsburgh! 81.25 miles and Maxcy is 86.98 miles.

Ok, I will ask the (perhaphs not so) dumb question --- What determines which schools are listed as SUNY "town name here" and which are listed as "Wherever" State?

It's generally up to the school, though either connotation is technically correct.

When I was at Potsdam, they dropped the "State" all together, and referred to themselves as Potsdam College. Obviously, that has since changed back.
 
Re: 2012 - 2013 Schedules

This discussion about being called a "State" and so forth, reminded me of years ago when Clarkson was playing at home to Wayne State. The Clarkson Pep Band kept chanting, "Wayne's not a State! Wayne's not a State!". It was funny....guess you had to be there.

Yeah, I think The College at Brockport pretty well confirmed SUNY's flexibility regarding these things.

Officially, SUNY is made up of 64 campuses - Eight campuses (including three health science centers) offering academic programs through the doctoral level and serving as research centers, Thirteen university colleges providing undergraduate education in a variety of academic fields, Eight technology colleges focusing on the development of a workforce with the advanced skills required by an increasingly technology-dependent economy, and Thirty community colleges offering access to a wide array of higher education opportunities that prepare students for transfer to senior colleges or train them for a variety of technical or paraprofessional occupations.

The College at Brockport is NOT its legal/official name.
 
Re: 2012 - 2013 Schedules

The whole naming thing/governance of SUNY has always confused me, too.

If the governing body is some board of trustees and somehow a head honcho - President/Chancellor/Major Domo - where did some schools, such as Brockport State get the authority to go by different names. The other name that confuse me are in Buffalo. There seems to be a Buffalo State and a State University of Buffalo. Those guy need to get their naming conventions down to something that we mere mortals can understand.

When I was much younger, I did an accreditation visit the the Math Department at Plattsburgh - at that time the school was referred to as Plattsburgh State University College - or PSUC. Who decided to drop the "C" from the name? Is it marketing? Very confusing to us mere mortals

The University Centers (those offering academic programs through the doctoral level and serving as research centers) are the "State University of Wherever" (except the three health science centers - which are named after there approximate geographical location within the state), the ""State University at Wherever" refers to those thirteen university colleges providing undergraduate education in a variety of academic fields (though locally they can use their own "Nicknames" - many of which derive from a time when their primary focus was to train teachers and they were officially known as "Wherever State Normal School").

So they expect mere mortal non-New Yorkers to understand this "of" vs. "at" distinction? What was wrong with PSUC etc.? Who decides to use a name that is different from the "official name"? Since they all are governed by the same board, are the members of that board suffering from DID? (DID is dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as MPD, multiple personality disorder, which is mistakenly confused with schizophrenia which is a totally different disorder).


In Colorado the University of Denver is a private school the University of Colorado at Denver is a public school, and the University of Colorado at Boulder is called CU (or CU Boulder). Why the permutations of the letters is a puzzle to this Vermonter.

From the Brockport link above:

The change in the expression of the College’s name to The College at Brockport, State University of New York, is intended to bring focus to the College in the context of the State University of New York – one of the largest and most respected educational systems in the world. This is not a legal or an official name change, but one that was approved by the Interim Chancellor John Clark
