Regarding President Silber's appearance, I'm going to post it to the list because I was as shocked as Steve regarding the tone of the interview. I kept waiting for Mr Silber to crack a smile to the reporter after giving her a hard time, but it never happened. BTW, My jaw was open at the end of the interview Steve. For those who didn't see the interview, the reporter and Silber got into an exchange regarding the fact that the WABU crew was wearing Tuxes to celebrate the first Beanpot in the new Fleet Center. The gist of the discussion was Silber berating the reporter, saying 'What are you doing in a tux ? Hockey is a game of the people. I'm a man of the people. .. It would be an improvement if you people lost the tuxes for the next Beanpot.' The tone was NOT in joking manner. Not knowing Mr (Dr?) Silber - I can't really say if it was just an act. If it was, I didn't get it and I doubt the rest of the public did either. My own advice to him is to lighten up, it was just an interview at the Beanpot, not a political spotlight. Joe Betergna also made a comment in the studio afterwords 'Was that Don Rickles or Prez. Silber ? He's a tough interview'. One other note, the report (don't know her name) was a MODEL of professional courtesy. She gracefully handled every nasty overtone to what Silber said - I was extremely impressed. She should probably get a raise.. Steve Czuba RPI 86 HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
