I agree it was a legit call, just burns me because while it may be a point of emphasis in the B1G this year, it certainly hasn't been in the ECAC games I've seen. Oh well.

Welcome to what happened to WCHA teams for the last ten years in the NCAA tournament.

Been watching Wisco vs UAA. UW wins 4-3 when puck bounces off UAA player:eek:

That was so freaky. The puck was first deflected by a defensemans stick, then went in off of a UAA skate. Ugh. Oh well, a split is okay with me. Better than I expected.

Combined 12-4? I'd call that an embarrassment. We are a cupcake team.

Please next time you venture to the field house go tell that to Coach. Tell him we are a cupcake team. Better yet, get behind the bench and coach the team and turn it into the megapower you know you can. I believe in FlagDude.

Remember what happened when we tried this in 07-08? The next year ticket sales were way down, so far down that RPI was unable to sell out Freakout. I fully expect the January meltdown to continue.

No way the meltdown will happen with you behind the bench. Your going to lead us to the promised land. Heck I will even drive the lead float in the hot dog wrapper parade down River St. in Troy.

07-08 were some rough years with lots of late night gigs so I might not remember it all. Wasn't that the season where you ran a solid 30 second lap around the field house during said Freakout?

I'm no leader. Keep drinking the Kool-aid, though. Eventually you'll wake up drowned in an even bigger nightmare. I only wish I had taken my friends' advice in 2009 instead of drinking your Kool-aid and them essentially defriending me.

Haven't drank Kool-Aid in years since I was at least 12. Sorry for your defriending over a college hockey team. Thats rough, imagine if this stuff made an impact in everyday life. What are you talking about drowned in an even bigger nightmare....your a french fry short of a happy meal. Its just a game and just a business for these coaches and schools.

If you actually read the first post you responded to in this chain and didn't just try to spin one word, you'd be well aware that I know this is a business proposition. Winning sells tickets. I don't know if Martha or any of the nice folks at the Student Union keep track of season ticket sales vs. single game and walk up, but one thing you'll notice is that when the team is down-trodden, admission revenue is down. Am I expecting RPI to go undefeated? Heck no, even I'm aware that's too much to ask. I do know, however, that the team is so inconsistent that fans purchasing tickets in advance only to see the team have a ****-poor year are feeling like they're being screwed, and I would think after seven years, this is the last straw.

Seven years of graduating players, sending guys onto the pros, no matter what level, having from what I hear, a halfway decent relationship with alums, is totally the last straw. Yeah Im looking at this from the wrong angle arent I? Lets turn this place into a hockey factory where barely enough players graduate that we can slide by any NCAA regulations on that subject, just to say hey we beat Ferris State and Minnesota and won a tournament in January which will be forgotten in a week.
