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??????? Tony Buffa RPI '64 Univ. of Illinois, '66 and '69 Physics Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo It is Ana-HEIM in 'Ninety-NINE!!
