Sorry for wasting the bandwidth, but there have been several
misunderstandings!  My undergrad alma mater, RPI, has a fine bball team!
I currently (for the past 25+ years) at California Polytechnic State
University, to which I am referring to, best known as Cal Poly, or Cow
Poly to some, and co-builder of the Rose Float of the same name.  CP's
bball team set the D-I record for "worst first year record" and it is to
that I referred.  My apologies for any unintended reference to RPI's
wonderful program!  Now if only Cal Poly would build an ice rink ....
would a hockey team follow???????
