    It has to do with meeting a personal goal of posting on the recruit thread. I did not meet it last year and probably won't meet it this year either. Admittedly it is quite dumb.

    Also, like the Federal budget, there will probably be an extension. (If Air Force wins today, will they be able to play tomorrow?)
    Ralph - please disregard this one goal, and do not leave. Please.

      Today is 24 March 2018. There are 196 days (28 weeks) until RPI's next game.


      This is based upon 6 October 2018 for the start of next season.

        Ralph, If you are healthy (and I hope that you are), I would ask you to reconsider leaving.
        We all set goals and some we make and some we don't, but we don't just stop.
        I don't think you know what you mean to this small band of RPI brothers.
        Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

              And I bet that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
              All that said, keep up the peaceful protests and make them make the case.
              Good luck

                    I wonder what is going to happen at my 50-year reunion in the fall. Considering how much mail I have been receiving in recent years about putting RPI in my will, I suspect that there will be a lot of pressure to donate. I certainly don't intend to do anything as long as the current administration is around.

                          Just to change the tune for a second. Drew Melanson today became the first RPI graduate in my memory to play in the NCAA tournament in a long time (if ever). He then stole a puck in the third period and set up as the second assist the game winning goal against Cornell! I guess that should be worthy of note as we have not scored a point in the NCAA tournament in 33 years. Being placed on the BU first line with 2 absolute behemoths certainly has put him in a very unique position that he never enjoyed in Troy.

                          Second. Ralph, I fully can understand some of what you are feeling and if you decide to no longer post, you will be greatly missed by both Jenny and myself who have followed your messages longer than some college hockey players are alive. I have not been posting much myself and have taken a bit of a leave of absence but as you probably already know, I will keep in touch with you by other means anyway. Whatever you decide, we both wish you the best in life.
                          Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

                            It was also a great screen by Drew on BU’s eventual game winner.

                              Ralph, you can't leave - I just got back! (sort of)

                              There have been rumors floating around and we know there have to be cuts made eventually. Anyone think the guys in the basketball picture might be all that's left of the team (apart from the pro-playing seniors, of course)? Maybe "the winning team" has a double meaning.

                                Can't blame you RB. I know there has been some personnel turnover in the alumni / development office.
