RPI 2010-2011 V: The "Chase" to AC & Beyond

That is because it is the process that the selection committee uses to choose the field. It's like the concept of wedding rings having an unblemished record of infallibility in predicting which people are married.

Unmarried people have been known to check into motels wearing cheap wedding rings. (Granted that people probably don't care about appearances much anymore.) Besides for that, I agree with your post.

hopefully they will consider what our record was against teams ranked above us in the PWR. If they do that we could be OK.

In the sense that it is factored into the PWR, that is correct. The PWR is supposed to eliminate the smoked-filled room, which it has done admirably, although one could argue that there are better ways of doing so. Either specifically including or excluding these games would not follow.

WOW!!!! I thought it might be a little slow on the board after the weekend, hahahahahahhahah. Took me 3 cups of coffee to get thru about 24 hrs. of posts! Anyone else a little disturbed with the increase for next years season tix prices? IIRC, 2 yrs. ago I paid $144.....last year, $165....next year? $228!....and the beat goes on. ...

Are you effin' kidding me? For real? A $63 increase?? Geezuz...I guess we figured out how they're paying for the new scoreboard.. Nothing like whacking the currently deflated faithful in the middle of a economic and psychological depression -- oh sorry -- "prolonged recession". Not happy.

I was sent this article in the middle of the season from someone and did not want to bring to the board's attention in mid season but in light of our discussion of yesterday. In Feb he was on short list for MSU job. Ultimately, I believe Gwoz will takes this position and Seth will stay but let's not forget that our fearless leader is highly respected and coveted. See attached.

There's been a lot of chatter out there about Seth and MSU....Nate Leaman has also been mentioned in a few "short list" blog posts. I for one do not think Gwoz would leave DU for MSU.

I hope this didn't contribute to the 2-6-1 finish.

The renovation plan was still in place prior to Coach Appert's arrival. If Phases 1 and 2 took the place of Phases 3 and 4, what are Phases 3 and 4?

My point was when you read about the plans for ECAV..there was only obtuse mention of renovations to HFH without any detail whatsoever as to when they would occur. In fact when I asked RPI administrators -- who were campaigning for donations -- when work on HFH might occur, I was greeted by a blank stare hemming and hawwing. Then Seth and Knowlton show up and its a done deal. I choose to believe that wasn't coincidental. Obviously you think otherwise.

We are now tied 16th with Maine in the pwr.

Still quite a bit to go to get to 15th though. We need a lot of good things to happen. NU over BU yesterday was a nice start though.

Some of my assumption is based on Gwoz's wife being from Michigan and I belive his daughter goes to MSU (I think??). I am assuming that Gwoz is on the move at any rate because he is not feeling the luv at DU. I don't think we will lose SA to Denver though because he would have too much loyalty to Gwoz and not take the job because of the treatment he (Gwoz) has received from DU admin. JMHO. Would like to hear Puck Swami's thoughts on this matter.

In terms of SA or Leaman moving on, I know they both have long term contracts. Do these contracts generally have "out clauses" or do the AD's need permission to speak with the coaches who are under contract?

I am sure nothing in these contrcts would insure that they cannot be broken. Guys have jumped ship to take other positins from many teams in the past. I just think SA and Leaman would be too honorable to do that. Either might leave at some time, but they would do it in a more proper fashion.

There is usually an out clause for specific teams. I'm sure for Appert it includes DU and Ferris State. I'm not sure which team Leaman would have in his clause, but I'm sure it exists. And, yes, these teams would likely have to go through the AD to contact the coach.

I agree with B12. I have always thought that Nate would be a candidate for Harvard job if they ever pull the trigger on Teddy.

For Union to keep nate long term I think that upgrade to facilities will have to take place. Or at least one more urinal at Messa.

Urinal aside, I think it's going to take more than that, but it's just speculation on my part.

Leaman was one of the final three candidates for the Head Coaching job with the USNDPT U-17 Team over the summer that eventually went to Danton Cole. So I could see him throwing his name in the hat for the MSU opening.
