RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

Off topic a bit but I was recently checking some names in the RPI directory when something caught my eye. Does anyone know why Merriam is currently listed as a senior in the directory along with Bergin, Malchuk, Smith, AAG, Cullen, Rabbani and Coupal? Is it possible Bryce is graduating a year early, like Cornell goaltender Mike Garman did last year? I know he wasnt honored on senior night but neither was Garman in Ithaca last season. Im sure he'll be returning to Troy in the fall, I just thought it was interesting considering we could have three scholarship goalies on the roster.

Is the directory usually up to date and accurate? I know theres a couple a recruits listed as first year students already like Zalewski, Miller and Bradley will they be listed as sophomores when school starts up again... could this be why Bryce is listed as a senior.

He probably has enough credits to be a senior, probably having earned some while playing junior hockey. That won't affect his eligibility next season. Zalewski et al. will most likely remain as <s>freshmen</s> first-year students.

Edit: I didn't see him as a senior in the fall, so I assume that he won't graduate until the middle of next season.

Most likely answer is that he is simply a good student who's ahead on his work - possibly enough to fill his senior year with independent studies, which is a common thing for hockey players that get ahead.

I know we pick on the proofreading of Earl Weaver's articles, but this site doesn't look like that of the Troy Record. ;)

Did Earl happen to say what he thinks about the Orioles' pitching situation this year? :)

Anyone who starts the score thread for tomorrow's game other than Ralph-i will personally take your liver out. He is on the hot streak!

Dude-In 1984-85 I was so superstitious I kept the same routine before every RPI game. I wore the same clothes, I ate the same meal (home games were at Verdile's and had the veal parm each time with exactly 2 vodka gimlets). I know it has only been for the past 2 games-but Ralph started each thread-we won. Maybe this is a new streak-I just do not want to take any chances.:)

I remember you mentioning that. Plus, although I did start two of my four in the 2008-09 season (OK, one was a women's game, still the height of controversy), I'm not about to take a chance.

The only other time I got that bad was in late 1995 with our run through the playoffs and the ECAC tournament in Lake Placid. I believe we were the 6th seed making it up there and I figured it couldn't hurt.:)
