I agree Mike.  It's the teams that RPI is expected to defeat that they
have problems with.   Playing up or down to the opponents level
maybe?  RPI didn't look like a 5-0 team against Union as can be
seen by the SOG 33-21 in favor of Union.   However, one thing I've
seen with this year's team is heart.   Even if they have a flat night,
they are able to pick up their level of play in the third and pull it
out.   A new desire to win?   Maybe a coaching change was just what
we needed.
