I don't need to listen to a lecture about Schott, I've been a fan and supporter for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Ken calls his column/blog the ECAC Week in Review, I'd have no gripe. But for accuracy sake, he might consider changing the name to the Union Week in Review.

I take no sympathy in the struggling tourney and lack of a tourney title sponsor. We've all sufferred through god awful teams and fields for the better part of twenty years. As a season ticket customer, I've swallowed hard every year. RPI has given lip service to the whole idea of marketing the program for about the last oh I dunno, 20 YEARS or so...Things are now changing under Appert, but you can't raise the Titanic overnight.

Now that the A.D. has someone paying attention to promotion & marketing (what a concept) things might improve. Whether it will be in time to save the tourney is anyone's guess. As for opponents, as has been pointed out by several posters previously, we are not alone in the scheduling plight. Personally, I enjoyed seeing Bowling Green and UConn...I am apparently in the minority. Folks waiting around for Michigan or North Dakota to fall out of the sky and magically appear are in for a long wait.

One extremely basic and simple idea I've offered is to hand out a dozen tourney tickets to every g.d. one of the youth hockey teams within a 50 mile radius -- thereby helping to fill the rink (which looks good in photos when you're pitching sponsors). Yes,you sacrifice the ticket $, but you can recoup some/all of it in popcorn and pizza $$ sales AND you just might start growing a new generation of fans...heaven forbid.

Because I don't like to deal in negativity like B12 does, I want to suggest we go with a positive title. Actually, Ralph suggested it earlier from a post my dear brother troyboy submitted regarding my petition drive to bring back Red Cloud..."Part III Red Cloud Returns"

Let's put it up for a vote. You know where I stand. I will most likely hurt RC chances. Ok if not a vote, let's leave it up to DrD. He is very fair (and balanced) minded.
