Similarly, RPI seems to be narrowing down the field a bit: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2006/04/14_rpifield.php

Interesting that Casey Jones may have been a candidate for the RPI job, but didn't make it to the top three.

Looks like Seth Appert, a former Denver assistant is getting the job.

Hmmm...a goaltender.  Welcome to the ECACHL, Coach Appert.

As a side note, I'd like to point out the fresh, clean, uncluttered, and user-friendly nature of the RPI athletics website.  *cough*

Wow, to go from Denver to Troy ... but, seriously, RPI can be an excellent job if he gets the proper support.

The 'Tute finally decided to pay to have it remade this season.

Going from Colorado to RPI, how would you like to go home and explain that one to yor wife "We have been in heaven, now let's go see what hell is like"

Aurora looks just like Troy.  Denver in general aint looking too good these days.  And Colorado Springs has sprawl that would make Nassau County blush.

Out towards Boulder or Greeley... that's heaven.
