RPI 2009 - 2010 Part II: I Believe in Seth Appert

As of right now, no, we don't. It's something we'd like to start doing. I've been pushing for us to shoot post-game press conferences and pre-game interviews with WRPI.

I believe right now the post-game press conference is shot by Kevin Beattie of RPI Athletics.

Also, I'm going to try to get a small crew together to shoot all 4 Thanksgiving Break games featuring RPI vs. Bentley, Union vs. Lake Superior State, and some combination of the above on Saturday (hopefully RPI vs Union in the championship game!). Most of our club will be on vacation, but I'll be around. At a bare minimum, we'll be able to provide coverage better than the normal B2 single camera, and in all likelihood I'll be streaming to Ustream.

In other RPI sports news, we'll be broadcasting this weekend's football game against Merchant Marine at 1:00 on Saturday, and possibly men's soccer on Sunday (if they win the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday).

GREAT!!!!!!!

Are you saying it wasn't a sellout? I mean, every Union game I've ever been to was sold out.

I would just like to thank you R. Hamilton for all that you do . Your eagerness is just exciting to see ! For the fans that can't make every game , this makes watching the games so much better . Keep up the great work and Thank you again and again !

I failed to mention the great job the Greeks did in making HFH rock on Saturday night. I hope RPI keeps winning and the Greeks keep representing at the games...

Yeah, it's nice when they show up for once. I'm sorry, but until greeks regularly come to games in which they are not being honored, I can't take their 'enthusiasm' seriously (the shirtless section on Saturday seemed to get much quieter once they had officially won the evening's 'most spirited' award). Over my six years as a season ticket holder, greek attendance at games has seemingly plummeted.

For those that do show up regularly to games, hoorah. Keep cheering for our Engineers until your throats are cherry red.

According to my sources, there has been some infighting among Greeks when it comes to who sits where - the traditional seating arrangements have been upset, apparently, in Sections 14, 15, 16, 22, and 33, and it is to the detriment of the atmosphere.

For my money, though, Sections 15 and 16 do sound pretty good. I'm disappointed that 22 isn't as rambunctious as it used to be when I held court there.

I agree 100%. Mr. Hamilton - if you are ever out in the Boston area for a game and I happen to run into you I will gladly buy you a beer.

Traditional arrangements? What ever happened to the first house in hockey line gets the best seats? We slept out for weeks back in the day. Of course we had a keg to keep us company at all times then. My understanding is that this would be frowned upon these days.

The usual Hockey Line festivities took place this year, but there were only a couple of groups that waited in line for the whole two week duration. A number of frats showed up the night before the tickets went on sale, but as a whole the event is becoming less and less important with time, which is quite a shame.

RPI TV actually covered a bit of the Hockey Line activity, the first 1:30 or so of this news piece covers the 2009 Hockey Line:

And thanks for all the support! I'm quite pleased with the viewership we've been receiving on the Ustream feed. High viewership demonstrates demand for our product, which will help us negotiate with RPI Athletics and allow us to provide an official, higher-quality stream in years to come.

Out of tradition for Black Friday, I had to take my old seats in section 33. However, I strategically moved myself over a few seats so I was right behind Yale's penalty box.

I for one was very disappointed with the crowd on Black Friday. Just over 3000. and even the student section had way too many empty seats.
The game was great so the enthusiasm was way up, but another 100 people would have raised the roof.

Yeah, well, for years after the supports were removed, houses settled into "their" sections. Regardless of where they were in line, pretty much house was satisfied with where they had seats and everyone stuck to their own sections. That seems to have changed in recent years and it has led to some infighting, old man.

Someone apparently thinks that it is too cartoonish.

You are being very diplomatic here...that someone is your thread's namesake.

It's not 867-5309, is it?

Re: RPI 2009 - 2010 Part II: I Believe in Seth Appert

And we are 1-1-1 against teams ranked above us that we have played-not bad to start the year. Nice to at least get a few votes.

Not sure what rankings you're speaking of. We beat UNH and Yale -- that makes at least two nationally ranked teams we've beaten...and we defrocked Union in their barn, which according to some crack-fueled ECAC polls, Union was ranked above us as well..
