At least the writer acknowledges,

"Never mind that they stole most of their cheers from Cornell,"

Forget the writer: a team spokesman cops to it. And admits that all Michigan added was vulgarity.

As bad as the diss on "30 Rock" last night?

Tracy considering various offers after apparently winning an Oscar:

"Cornell commencement address? Sorry, but Tracy Jordan doesn't do safety schools."

I don't know how he's going to make it up to Fat Balls.

The story said it was on account of the opponent being Sacred Heart. At Cornell games, I've seen Princeton fans drift in throughout the first period and first intermission. Hobey Baker Rink remains the ultimate prep school facility.

Cornell wuz robbed. RPI, too, on account of there being no category for weirdest building now a hockey rink.

And for RPI, the building could have been an alternate location for some of the scenes in "Six Feet Under". That should qualify for an 11th category.

Whenever I went up to RPI, I kept thinking about how Ric Flair wrestled Terry Funk in an "I Quit" match there.

The Doors and the Dave Clark Five played concerts there, too. (Dave Clark five is not a hockey unit-

If you read the on line comments to the WSJ article, many of them mention the glaring omission of Lynah-- including a number that identify themselves as non-Cornellians.

OH! I forgot to mention that it should be noted, as a matter of obligation, that sports coverage in the WSJ sucks and anything in there should be taken with a grain of salt anyway.

They used to have those really cool lithographs but IINM they "improved" them away.
