    We are 5th tallest and 6th heaviest in the ECAC. I agree that we are probably going down in the list in the next couple of years.

      In honor of Taylor Mahoney, today is 27 September 2013. There are 8 days until RPI's next game.


      This is based upon 5 October 2013 for the start of next season.




      I fixed yesterday's post. I listed the wrong women's player.

        Medians / averages can be deceiving however. if you have several relatively smaller guys who move like lightning and are gritty and compact and skilled, and couple them with several relatively larger guys who have a good sense of ice presence, you've got the potential for a dynamic and effective squad. Yet on average they are just middle of the pack.

        Like saying Muggsy Bogues and Wilt Chamberlain average out to 6' 5"....

          No doubt the standard deviation would say something too. Of course, we also don't know how many players were measured with their skates on.

              That hasn't stopped many a person from talking anyway....

                And Michigan hasn't recently fired their football coach for losing to Ohio State three times in a row. I'm not sure we know entirely who's the troll here.

                    Apparently, you don't know football OR hockey.

                    Or the definition of troll, for that matter.

                      John, you are always plugged in on latest info. Don't know where you get your sources???? John could you ask Schottsie when he frequents your fine establishment if he was the guy in the media poll who voted for Union #1?

                      Speaking of JohnK's place, please stop by for great food and drink.
