Of the suggestions for the 2022-23 thread, I like "Let the Schmidt Hit the Fan" best so far. Are there any other suggestions or comments about this one? (Of course "the Shirley" almost hit this fan on one occasion. ;-) )

The campus policies for the upcoming year are now posted and can actually be accessed from the athletics web site.
It begins with Fall 2022 University Health and Safety Protocols.
In between the is a whole lot of stuff about what applies to students, faculty and staff depending on weather the risk factor status is green, yellow or red.
Just as was the case with last summers very briefly posted (and quickly taken down) "comprehensive plan for return to athletic competition", which ended with the extremely condescending and enraging "management of spectators- to be determined", this one ends as follows on the next line. Assuming visitors includes the equally condescending and enraging "external spectators that needed to be socially separated" hurled at us in March of 2020, it does not appear that the institutional attitude toward us has changed very much based on the below. The date below is less than two weeks before the first football game and less than six before the first hockey game. Gee!! thanks for the adequate and timely notice.
Visitors
A modified visitor policy will be finalized prior to August 22, 2022.
Dependent on what this modified visitor policy proves to be, a decision will be made as to how much, if anything, will be spent at the premises of this particular peddler of sports entertainment products within a very crowded and competitive sports and non sports entertainment marketplace. Obviously, this particular external spectator who needed to be socially separated and whose management is to be determined will be making no such decisions or spending a dime there until at least August 23, 2022. At that point it will be determined just who is managing and determining who, just as you would manage and determine what to spend or not spend at what stands and/or booths at a fair or flea market
Really wish it wasn't so, but, somewhere between the fall of 1963 (age 10) and March of 2020 I somehow got the notion there was more to it than that. Based on more recent events and treatment, I was obviously operating under a delusion the whole time. Thus, the interest level, enthusiasm and passion levels of the past will probably not ever happen again. I already pretty much found that out at both the football game at Union last fall and the baseball doubleheader at Union last spring. Something died and the zip was gone. If the ending of the football game didn't reignite something, the probably nothing ever will. Both events proved to be little more than a retiree getting out of the house for the day.
I did not set out to reach this point. It was done for me and maybe it is still being done.

New covid policies that actually make sense for once https://covid19.rpi.edu/
Some good news from our AD https://twitter.com/Leemcelroy5/status/1555909842778333184?s=20&t=1JsiCLR_7ic-a8TDpYkBWA
Well on this hot, humid day, I am totally ready for climbing the stairs to the top of Section 6 and cheering on the Engineers, both men and women. I eagerly await our season ticket application.
And to all of you out there who have agonized over the program and how things have been handled the last couple of years, I would say: it could be worse. Look at Michigan. The AD tried to slip an absolutely damning report under the carpet and sign Mel Pearson to another contract and only after the report became public did he get fired. This after multiple people complained, left the program, or were fired. Including a. Volunteer assistant coach who had been there for years and a team captain. And Pearson, after being told to, refused to fire the trainer who knew about his predecessor’s abuses and did nothing. The implication being that the AD in this day and age, thought the report would never become public. Imagine the report surfacing in the middle of the season. Also Pearson showed no indication he would change. And you thought the Shirley stuff was a big deal.

Camping in Maine this week so can’t make the golfing tomorrow sadly. For anyone that is going, hope you have a great time! And if you could let us know what Coach Smith says and post a pic of the roster (I just want to know the jersey numbers of the newcomers really) that’d be great
