Just to clear that up a little - in 83/84, I believe RPI went to the semi-finals and
lost, with a final record of 32-6.  It was the following season, 84/85, that the
team won the NC$$s.  RPI's only losses that year were to North Dakota and
St. Lawrence.
 
Interestingly enough, the 84/85 season was the last time RPI swept the season
series from Clarkson - before this year!  Is it prophetic?  We'll have to hope!
:-)  That's MY kind of interestingly relevant!!  :-)
