Reply to "2022 Caltech question"

HA coaches, especially coaches at HA's that are as HA as Caltech (what, maybe one or two other D3s that are as hard to get into) very rarely jump the admissions gun. Nerve wracking to wait on admissions, though, I know. Hang in there.

OTS, I didn't know Caltech's original name was Throop College. I did a little more digging and discovered their sports teams back in the day were called the Throopers, but the "h" was silent, so it sounded like Troopers. One sports headline from a Pomona-Pitzer-Caltech baseball game read: Sagehens Storm Throopers.

Another, more positive headline, this time for a Caltech-Cal Lutheran baseball game, was Throopers Storm Cold Knights.

I thought that was interesting and wanted to share.
