An opinion piece on the College Hockey News site about the top ten rivalries in college hockey:
[www.collegehockeynews.com]
Yes, Cornell-Harvard gets mentioned -- at #5, ahead of Clarkson-St. Lawrence, thank you very much. Of course, they credited the Big Red with the wrong number of ECAC titles; as informed hockey connoisseurs know, it's 11 not 10.
And Cornell-BU even gets mentioned under old rivalries.

Nice to get the nod, but the North Country should be ahead of us.

Nah, I might dislike Hahvahd and regularly say "Hahvahd sucks" to hockey people, but I still respect the school. My (SLU undergrad) brother wears his "Cluck Farkson" t-shirt anywhere and everywhere, and HATES Clarkson. As in, considers his swimming season a success if the team beats Clarkson (and doesn't accomplish much else).

I love how the author talks about their "safety school" chant as if it was something creative and unique to Harvard's cheering section.

Actually, I've often observed the opposite: fans of one North Country team will often support the other when they're playing someone else. (E.g., the Clarkson fans with whom we had to share a section in the 2000 ECACs after we beat the Knights in the PiG.) But maybe this works differently for students and townies.

[Q]In one stretch during the 1990s Clarkson managed to rattle off nine straight wins against the Saints. A few sporting Clarkson fans decided to remind all who traveled Route 11 of the fact, posting up signs every few yards — one for each win — and adding to them as the streak grew.[/Q]
I know the guys who did that well.

I think that Will is right because Harvard fans barely acknowledge cornell as a rival but in the NC these days, both teams fans "hate" the other.
I never did see those road signs (cool!) but have to admit the T shirt is pretty cool too.

No, no, that was a misplaced modifier... you mean "barely any Harvard fans acknowledge Cornell as a rival". As in, ya know, all six of them.

Np, what he meant was "none of Harvards "fans" acknowledge Cornell as a rival." Because the zix actual fans do.DeltaOne81

Hey, 100% is pretty good. I bet only 99.7% of Cornell fans would name Harvard as the top rival (gotta be a few who just can't let go of BU!), so I guess Harvard wins...DeltaOne81

I also think CU/SLU is a better rivalry, but I'd still give up watching 10 CU/SLU games to see one Cornell/Harvard game!

It's quite alright to hate another team more than your rival. In the early 90's, we always knew Harvard was the "rivalry" game. But, by the end of 4 years and a few heartbreaking losses later, my friends and I truly hated SLUt much more than Harvard.

A few years ago, when we just couldn't beat them... I began to hate Dartmouth pretty good.

Good point. It doesn't matter how inconsequential our meetings are, I do and likely always will hate Union. Everything -- the fans, the team, the style, the unis, the rink (well, no, I actually kinda like Achilles). I just hate 'em. They're Ron Fairly to our Tom Seaver. Despise 'em.MattShaf

Interesting choice you made here.
I recall Fairly as a classy guy whereas Seaver could be pretty arrogant and self-absorbed at times.
If you're a Mets fan, I assume, I'd suggest "your" Ron Swoboda versus "their" Steve Carlton.

I cherish my button from many years ago that says "My two favorite teams are CORNELL and who ever is playing HARVARD" Does anyone know what year someone sold them for $ 1 ?
