What does a "partial qualifier" mean?

Apparently either his grades or his SAT/ACT score wasn't good enough. I find it hard to believe that we didn't know this and that he still was admitted to RPI.

Yeah, I can't say I thought I'd ever hear of a partial qualifier at a school like RPI (although it's no Cornell :-P)

It doesn't require high academic performance. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/sacl/genrel/auto_pdf/ncaa-requirements.pdf ::rolleyes:: Then again I wondered how some of the hockey players were admitted about 50 years ago. Then they quickly flunked out, Now that doesn't happen.

PuckMan and I will be in the building.

How the hell did RPI land a div III US team for their exhibition?  This is the first US exhibition in recent RPI history.  I hope it's a decent game.

I was wrong.  It's St. Thomas University of Fredericton, NB.  They are also playing Q Saturday.

Looks like RPI dominated until the OT. Was RPI's second goalie bad? 3 goals on 14 shots.

The St. Thomas goalie was great. RPI's first goal was on a breakaway and was his only mistake. The second was a pretty power play shot. If I were to place blame it would be on the RPI defense in that final flurry. The third period and OT were fun to watch.

It's already online at RPItv.org .

Too bad there's no BC TV org posting replays.

Ken Schott picks us 9th (http://www.dailygazette.com/weblogs/schott/2015/oct/02/ecac-hockey-2015-16-team-previews-cornell/). Little bit of zen/nothingness from Schafer in the article:

Schafer says: "Our outlook is unknown. When you look at what we have returning and what we have coming in, I think there's a lot of unprovens in a lot of areas. We're just as excited as everyone else to see what we have within our team."

"...As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know."

Boston Globe predicts:  Harvard, Yale, Q, SLU, Colgate, U, Cornell, and the rest I didn't bother to remember.

Joshua Seguin of College Hockey News picks us to finish 11th. At least we'll always have Princeton.
