    Or Roger Hull. He thought baseball and hockey were the same sport too.
    Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

        Hahahahahahahaha. AWWWWWW! poor Tom! You are a joke and just maybe I will keep attacking you like you do to every other poster on this board who you don't agree with.

          Here's a switch of topics. Shouldn't the regular season count for more than it does now under the current ECAC playoff system? What I mean is that the regular season seems to be increasingly irrelevant when the lower tier team in the standings needs only to heat up at the end of the season and knock of the higher seeds whose entire season's body of work no longer matters. I'm not sure if I would be taking this position if Union was still the league bottom feeder, but does it really make sense for every team to be guaranteed a playoff spot? Even the NBA and the NHL knock out a few teams. I know the easy answer is, take care of business in the playoffs, but it's such a long regular season, shouldn't it count for more?

            Your right again, being a doctor is a much closer comparison.

              Absolutely. Wish they would go back to taking the top 8. Look at how poor the attendance is for this round at ALL locations. Its the right thing to do so there is no chance of Hagwell suggesting this change to the AD's.

                I have never attacked a person who did not attack either me or someone who did nothing to deserve to be attacked first. Never. And there's no poor me here, unfortunately. I've simply always been willing to be the one to take the heat from the irrationals and the bedwetters. You are not the first. You will not be the last.

                Please, John. Show us your true colors some more.

                  Personally, I have never been a fan of allowing all of the teams into the playoffs, in any league, in any sport.

                    Exactly-we were good but not deep. We could have been deep but we lost that before the season started. i am very disappointed we are not in the ECAC final four-I have my AC tickets. But I am still thankful for the season this team had and hopeful for next year.

                              Well that will stop the problem, but I really don't care one way or the other. I am quite happy that we are not Cornell where everyone toes the party line. RPI has a varied fandom with the only commonality being that we want the 'Tute to win.

                              BTW, I received a card from SA today thanking me for my contribution to Let's Go Red!

                                The decision that all teams make the playoffs was driven by the AD's and coaches of the league, and unanimously voted upon. The idea was to protect the top seeds in the league (those that get the bye) and to try to increase revenue for the league.
