Regarding the RPI administration and the team name of "Engineers,"

What the heck does that mean?
 
"Ladies and gentlemen, now taking the ice, your Rensselaer Engineering
Scientific Architects with Humanistic Managerial tendancies - who also
have many diverse outside interests as well!
 
"Starting in goal for the Rensselaer Engineering Scientific Architects with
Humanistic Managerial tendancies who also have many diverse outside
interests as well, number seventy-five Rich Vehlow... at forward for the
Rensselaer Engineering Scientific Architects with Humanistic Managerial
tendancies who also have many diverse outside interests as well ..."
 
How about one from this fine selection of monikers -
-The RPI Frogs (by not representing anyone, all are treated equally.
Mascot could be a red Kermit style creature who leaps across the ice
in lingerie.  Now that I think about it, it slurs at the French Canadians on
the team, doesn't it?  Throw a beret on Kermie...)
-The RPI PC Barons (mascot could be an inter-racial, androgenous red
Gorilla on a skating wheelchair)
-The RPI Toucans (nebulous enough to be called brilliant)
-The RPI Detachable Shirt Collars (after the rich Troy heritage)
-The RPI Skatin' Sams (after Uncle Sam, another Troy icon)
-The RPI Cap'n Hudsons (after the Hudson River, it establishes the confusing
acronym RPICH for the team)
