This is a program on rise

14-19-3
15-14-6
19-17-3
21-12-6
26-10-4

First time ever regular season champs
First time ever NCAA tournament bid
First time eevr top 10 ranking

That is rising

Safe to say Union was in worse shape and had zero history.

OK, now take a look at five years for RPI. Oh wait, it doesn't fit your agenda.

It's funny how you have the time to post statistics about Union but don't have time to answer my challenge.

I don't mean that the team is very good now, but the current team is much better than that when SA took over.

This is the crux of the argument, in my opinion.

While we are not currently in the hunt for a national title, we are certainly in a better position to make a run for it than 2 / 4 / 5 years ago. That's all that we're trying to say.

While still managing to lose to the same last place team that you try to shove down our throats.

Whie still managing to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament. (scoring 0 goals, may I add)

While still managing to squander that ranking.

See? Works both ways. Then again, maybe you are trying to justify Union's team a little bit because your team just hired their coach.

I will now stop feeding the troll.

The way I look at it, Leaman had a 3 year head start to build Union's program before Appert even arrived at RPI. If you look at Unions record in Leamans first 5 years and compare it with Apperts first 5 years you will see that RPI has a slight advantage. I think its safe to say both programs are on the rise, now only time will tell if the new coaching staff at Union will be able to keep up where Leaman left off.


BTW congrats AD!

To compare Union when Leaman took over and RPI when new coach stepped in is laughable.

Most people didnt even know Union had a hockey team, RPI had a very strong national rep

Last 2 years shows stagnant, not rise.

a very good, clean program who has been middle of the pack and underperforms when it counts

winning league championship and top 10 ranking is better than 5th or 6th place, I think

Yale won the league championship. Union lost to the last place team "when it counts".

Where's what I said? If you continue this drivel, I have no problem following Matthew 7:12.

RPI indeed had a historical reputation, but had sunk to a low similar to that which Union was at earlier. You yourself had discounted what RPI had done 25 years ago as irrelevant.

IMO, the so-called stagnation in RPI's rise from 2009-10 to 2010-11 was due entirely to two freshmen leaving early at the same time. Union never had such an occurence.

Sorry, RPI only believes in Matthew 9 and Matthew 28. :p

First, congratulations to AD. Hope all is well with Mom and Child.
Second, there is a hockey game tomorrow night featuring the RPI Engineers.
Why are we still engaged in a futile argument with someone who only wants to see his name on the message board?
It seems like forever since I got to cheer for the Engineers and I am looking forward to a new and exciting season. If the goaltending holds up, I believe that we can improve upon last season, and make some noise in the ECAC and the NCAA.
So,

LETS GO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's even funnier how he includes Union's full schedule results, but only seems to care about RPI's in-conference results. Because an 8-1 win over a team like AIC is such an accomplishment for Union :rolleyes:

One of your many two faced, phoney comments

This 30 seconds after Union lost to UMD on the live blog. Others were saying great season etc and this was your input

5:34 [Comment From FlagDUDE08FlagDUDE08: ]
It took Union 18 years to even win a playoff series. I don't expect them to win a tourney game anytime soon.


than you immediatly went to Union thread and said how great they did etc

total phoney

I stand corrected.

Union ECAC play

2009-- 9-11-2
2010-- 12-6-4
2011-- 17-3-2 regular season champions

That is called a program on the rise.... Biggest one, two and three year improvement in league, even more so than MC.

Best rise in the country by any program in league play
