RPI Off-Season Thread 2011: There Will be a Title Here Next Season

It's probably because of the 50th anniversary patch. I don't know how the jerseys work, whether they're generally kept for all four years or only used for the one year (obviously in this case it's one year), but we'll likely be going back to what we had for the 09-10 season.

I thought that in recent years, new jerseys were ordered every year. That is far from the situation when I was at RPI.

To be fair, such expenditures are probably largely based on the (not uncommon or particularly unusual but the nevertheless sharp) modern marketing tactics, i.e. selling game-used jerseys, selling Black Friday jerseys, etc.

When we were at RPI I thought the Jerseys looked like hand me down red pajamas.

It doesn't get better than when we wear the Cherry and White on the road. They are the sharpest unis in D-1. Dana, also does a great job on the black fri jersey's. He informed me that he wanted to give the RPI thread first crack at getting your favorite #'s.

TOTALLY agree AD... I love the road sweaters...I wish we could wear them at home! Ditto your thoughts on Dana...he makes our boys fly !! NEVER underestimate the skate sharpening skill of big Dana !!!!!!

Yes that is the case. Coaches usually make $$$ from the contracts signed with equipment companies...for their teams. I know Warrior supplied our sweaters, pants and gloves this year. ..I think the helmets were Easton, but am not positive. I believe last year's sweaters were Easton...

Today is 11 May 2011. There are 143 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

WS......you have it somewhat correct. They don't really make $$$$$, however, they are provided with product. Any $$$$$ made in the contract must be spent on additional product. Also, additional free product is usually tied into amount of $$$$$ spent on product throughout the year.

The Poly (newspaper on the RPI campus) named Seth Appert as their Poly Person of the year. They aren't currently publishing online (poly.rpi.edu) or I'd get a link to share the article with all of you. The article talks a bit on SA's own hockey career and why he chose to come to RPI. It also talks about the community related things the team's done, like adopting Ben Mayo, a young boy with cancer, onto the team.

Find a scanner on campus.

My printer that's about three feet away from me has a scanner, however I frequently can't get it to work...I'll give it a shot. If it works I'll try to scan the S&W interview with SA as well if I still have a copy around.

Whatever happened with them? The most recent one I find is from a month and a half ago.

I'm not sure - you can ask lugnut92, I think he's friends with the S&W Editor-in-Chief.

Scanning the Poly article was a success but I haven't found my copy of that issue of S&W, I'll see if there's an old issue still in Commons when I go dinner.

I've got a treat for you guys! RPI TV had our last meeting of the (school) year last night, and I prepped this 6 minute clip of all our goals from this season to reminisce.

Turn your speakers up, enjoy WRPI's emphatic commentary, and savor every last goal horn.

I see you also included the fake goal horn from the Union game.

Once again, thank you for providing such a fabulous service. It has been a pleasure watching the replays of each home game, as well as during the game when the puck was in the northwest corner and I couldn't see past the stantions (and they really SHOULD take down the glass between section 33 and the penalty boxes, it'd result in more usage of camera 5, at least from a replay point of view ). I look forward to your work next year, and future RPI-TVers in the years following.

Hey. Hey. Don't bring me into this. There are still some edits that have to be done to the transcript before it goes up on the S&W page, and I think they're a little more focused on finals and getting the most recent issues up, but in theory the full transcript will be up eventually..... I would just throw the audio file up here but it's not my place to do so.

I won't tell if you don't.

That's cool, though. School before fun. Unless you have that issue and a scanner (or feel like hanging out with RKarger for a while ).

Not that I don't want to hang out with RK, but I have my own scanner and the transcript that eventually makes it up on the website will be more complete than the version that made it into the issue. And you might not tell, but her roommate would.

Well now I has a confus.
I was talking about the S&W thing, as in the EIC's roommate would tell the EIC that I put up the audio file against her wishes.
I have a feeling this is all just silliness.......
