RPI 2013/14 Part III: Maximum Overdrivel

Nope.
individual = 1 person
players (with an "s" at the end) = multiple persons (like in a team, in ice-hockey for example)

The point of my original post was not to be all negative about RPI's team, it was to explain what I see on the ice : a lot of individual talent that neither the coach nor the players (as a team) can figure out how to use. Good for us, too bad for you.


Nothing like a new rink with as much spirit as a walmart, decorated by dusty 30 year old banners ;)

I'm going to say this nicely.

Thank you for explaining to me what a plural of something is, I now feel inadequate in the presence of your intelligence.
Pointing out our flaws when we never asked you to is the very definition of being "all negative about RPI's team".
What I meant by "contradicting yourself in one sentence" was that you claim that the individuals have a lot of talent but don't know how to use it. If they couldn't use the talent, the talent would by definition not exist from our perspective, since there's no objective way for us to determine that. This would be like claiming that Sacred Heart is loaded with talent but just doesn't know how to use it -- that may be entirely true, but there's no objective way you can determine that.

At least the "dusty 30 year old banners" (made recently, FYI) have actual meaning behind them and precise language, and don't imply a victory where there was participation. By the way, I've been to games at Union's barn, and if RPI's barn spirit is Wal Mart, then the spirit in the Union barn is the Dollar Tree.

This post had WAY more vitriol than I am used to dishing out, but if someone attempts to "school" me by "dropping knowledge", they will get it returned to them.
