Say hello to the Union College Garnet Chargers: https://dailygazette.com/2023/08/03/union-college-drops-dutchmen-rebrands-as-garnet-chargers/

The one thing about them that was interesting.

[The Rancor]

So stupid.

Dutchargers

[Trotsky]

Take your pick, Lynah.

Edit: oh, shit, those aren't Dutch slurs, those are Dutch slurs.  Don't take your pick.

Edit 2: OK.  Whew.  Take you pick.

RPI has hired former BU Assistant Athletic Director Dr. Kristie Bowers as its new AD. She played soccer at Binghamton.

BTW, RPI has an advertisement out for third paid assistant coaches for both its men's and women's hockey teams as the NCAA now allows. Is Cornell also getting additional ACs?

Ivies will probably take this opportunity to shoot themselves in the dick as usual.  Performative Purity -- it's what's for dinner.

Good catch.  I'll post the announcement for the assistant coaches on the seats of the "Honorary Referees" who sit near me in section 7.

Cornell's four-person men's hockey coaching staff (including HC and director of hockey operations) correlates to the now-allowed three coaches. Cornell's coaching roster. I assume hockey operations differs from assistant coach.  https://cornellbigred.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/coaches

Pretty sure this is incorrect and a reading comprehension fail. Look at that list going back several years and the number of coaches and titles hasn't changed.

New rules are for three *assistant coaches*, not 3 coaches total

Abmarks is correct. RPI's staff list does not include the new coach yet and shows the head coach, two assistant coaches, and someone described as "operations coordinator". https://rpiathletics.com/staff-directory. RPI is very slow in updating things.

An RPI blog's take on RPI's defense and goalies. https://thefieldhouse.substack.com/p/analyzing-the-defense-and-goalies I assume that it is no secret that the first blogger listed is the same person whose computer-based predictions of the ECAC standings I posted on another thread, and then he commented after several Cornell fans' posts. An earlier evaluation of RPI's forwards is here https://thefieldhouse.substack.com/p/a-tier-based-breakdown-of-rpis-new .

It looks like I did not post the article stating that RPI's third assistant coach position was filled. https://rpiathletics.com/news/2023/9/14/mens-hockey-mens-hockey-tabs-karlis-zirnis-as-asst-coach.aspx

I am pretty sure I heard the other Tupker playing for Union yesterday.
