    Let me know when RPI finishes a three-year stretch going 15-85-12 and is the laughingstock of college hockey; maybe then I can sympathize about 'disappointment'.

              It's kind of early to be campaigning for Poser of the Year, isn't it?

              Also, i thought that anyone who actively campaigned for that "honor" was automatically disqualified.

                Hate to break it to you, but anyone who thinks that we will have consistent success, all the time, in (IMO) the most top-to-bottom competitive league in Division I ice hockey... is delusional. You will have ups and downs, that is the nature of college athletics. The man has beyond proven that he can recruit and run a skill-talented team... of course there are other aspects to be improved, but I haven't seen Brown fans calling for the head coach's head after years of dwelling in the basement of the ECAC.
                Hockey is serious business. Everything else is just a game.

                  +1, and also OGC has brought elements of class to the program that goes beyond running a high-profile team.

                    I'd prefer if RPI did not fire Seth Appert. Let him stick around for a few more years.

                      And we'd prefer if Union players didn't headlock/headhunt a skill player of ours and throw him down on the ice when holding a 4 to 1 lead late in the game, but you can't always get what you wish for.

                        I have wished for victories against RPI the last 10 times we've played them. So I do always get what I wish for in this case.

                        Appert is now 4-20-3 against Union since becoming RPI's coach in 2006. Wow.

                          Re: Fire Seth Appert

                          I've come out of lurking just to say how incredibly stupid this thread is. I'm as irritated about the playoff shortcomings and the losing streak to Union as anyone; the latter was humiliating four or five losses ago. (Thanks to the football team for picking us up this weekend.) And you can see in my signature the comically bad results of my recent attendance. But this is the definition of overreaction.

                          You want to ignore last year's second-place finish and an NCAA tournament appearance, fire a coach we just extended, alienate players and recruits, and hit the reset button on our program because of a few bad weekends? What do you think the next step is? You have somebody better in mind? Herb Brooks is not walking through that door.

                          I can only hope that this community doesn't lump the entire RPI fanbase in with you. You're embarrassing yourself.

                          "I just want to see one conference semifinal appearance before I die" is probably the most pathetic thought I've ever had. Go 'Tute.

                            We went to the NCAA tournament last year? That's news to me.

                            Forget tournament success, when are we going to score a goal for the first time since before I was born?

                                Yes, employing grammatical tricks will surely bolster your point.
