RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?

I am sure that Smith has some input on this, but shouldn't we be pointing a finger at the athletic director? What does he do anyway?
Is he aware that this is a D-1 program? does he know what that means? Is he a living and breathing athletic director?

He should know what it means since he previously was at a D-I school.

Unless there is strong opposition, I intend to start the 2019-20 thread when this one closes as opposed to a second off-season thread or a pre-season thread.

IMO the best title for the thread so far suggested is "RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined". This depends perhaps on Simon Kjellberg (Sweden) actually arriving. I think that we would have heard already if Ottoville Leppänen (Finland) or Lilli Friis-Hansen (Denmark) were leaving, The women's recruit list containing Ena Nystrøm (Norway) has been published.

Additional suggestions for a thread title are still appreciated.

Yeah but this is his retirement job. This job was basically given to him. I doubt there was much of a search for col knowlton replacement. He’s on easy street.

Two in a row, nice 👍. I’m like the Ralph Baer of thread names

ETA: or maybe “This is Not a Drill” to play off the fire drill game from last season

I think we should keep going up the food chain. It's SAJ's fault. What does she do beside ****ing people off for her multi-million dollar paycheck? Wait....let's go further. It's Sarah Huckabee Sanders' fault.😂

Flaggie would have blamed it on Obama.

Confirms Freakout! for 2/1 against UVM. Seven games against 5 different HEA teams, plus a pair each against Canisius and WMU. I don't know why we have two weird split home-and-homes.

I had the day of the first game correct! I wonder how often I have done that before.

Re: RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?

They obviously aren't meant for this, last year's KRACH values suggest that we expect about 11-12 wins (depending on how you handle ties) out of this schedule. Basically right where we were last year.

EDIT: I did a very basic adjustment based on how much teams tend to regress to the mean (i.e., their ratings tend toward 100), and that method yields 12-13 wins. So yay.
