Re: TUC - 22 years ago
Interesting. I like it. Do you have a similar theory for dealing with the TUC question? I actually think the .500 criteria, while arbitrary, is a good one - but I disagree with the Findlay rule. Schools that are in the process of moving to D-1 should be able to upgrade their NC schedule without negative consequences. I could see why a team wouldn't want to give up qualifying games because itby ugarte - Hockey
Re: TUC - 22 years ago
There is no "in/out" feature of TUC. There is no such thing as a TUC until the season is over. Teams don't get "considered" until all of the games have been played. Our willingness to obsess over phenomena like "what would happen if the season ended today" only creates the illusion that there is an "in/out" feature. Union's season ended yesterday. Not onlby ugarte - Hockey
Re: Underhill - 22 years ago
Sounds like they didn't dress Underhill so they could get an extra skater into the lineup. True?by ugarte - Hockey

Re: RPI/Union - 22 years ago
I spent a year and a half at SUNYA, and I remember Sutter's Mill (or something like that) having very good wings. If I recall, they also ID'd hard - I got in at 18 (with an ID that wouldn't pass muster at Dunbar's) because a group of about 8 guys I was out with said "if he can't come in, we all leave." An instantaneous cost/benefit analysis by the bouncer, and 9 guys were drinking aby ugarte - Hockey

Please don't send me any email. I don't want to catch what you've got. I'm not having the problem.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: TBell - 22 years ago
I thought he was a very mature looking freshman until I realized that he is now 23. I've got to stop thinking that our hockey players are 18 when they are freshmen.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Off topic: Lacrosse - 22 years ago
Sounds like a great lax day. It is a doubleheader, not a tournament, right? (ie, no game the next day against Princeton or JHU) At our current poll ranking, we won't make the tournament. Is that the general feeling around the lax world?by ugarte - Hockey

Re: NCAA - 22 years ago
Oh, stop it guys. It is about more than just money. The reason there is more money is a larger tournament is that more people care. More money is a result of more interest. This does not mean that we should have a 64 team tournament (please return those slippery slope arguments to their holster), but a 6 team tournament that includes, for example, Lowell, Denver, Michigan, RPI, Wayne Statby ugarte - Hockey
Re: Titles - 22 years ago
Of course hockey had only 4 significant conferences, so it was possible to give out up to 2 autobids without any real jeopardy of keeping out a team that "deserved" to be in the tournament any more than, say, Colorado College. With the addition of CHA and the MAAC (and the gulp decline of the ECAC) guaranteeing up to 2 autobids is as untenable in hockey as it is in basketball.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Poapst's penalty at RPI - 22 years ago
Oh, OK, Rich. You win. The whole Clarkson team got together to help Poapst blow the RPI game.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: PWR - L16 - 22 years ago
Odd juxtaposition, Keith. You wrote both: I maintain that a team that can't win it's league QF series doesn't deserve a chance to play for the national title. and I actually think that a team that doesn't win one of it's leagues titles (RS or tourney) doesn't deserve a shot at the national championship. I mean, how how can you be national champ if you're not your league champ first? Youby ugarte - Hockey
Re: if we win.... - 22 years ago
Greg, I'm begging you to start using Threaded View, or at least clicking on "reply to this message" to give a break to those of us who do. All of your posts end up clustered at the bottom, disconnected from what they are responding to.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Titles - 22 years ago
Does the school have any intention of putting up an ECAC regular season banner? (Just curious, but patient. No need to answer this question until after the tournament. )by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Game DQ for Palahicky - 22 years ago
I haven't seen a description of what happened at the game (though I am smart enough to figure out that there was a fight). What were the circumstances before the rumble at the end of the game?by ugarte - Hockey

Re: CHAMPIONS! - 22 years ago
I am stoked. ECAC Regular season champions. Ivy League Champions. What a great damn year. I couldn't care less who we play in the tournament. We are the best team in the league this year, and it shouldn't matter what order we play the other teams in. Either we will win, or we won't. LET'S GO RED!!!by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Everything But Anchovies - 22 years ago
I am amazed - this is the most popular thread in the short history of the eLynah board so far without any sign of letting up. (I don't remember too many at CHDF that ran this long either.)by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Taxes, Overreactions and Joe Biden - 22 years ago
However you slice it, your original comment made no sense. You didn't post the URL for the cheers page because you were worried about copyright concerns (on a website that hosts the cheers page, no less)? By that logic, it is a wonder that books ever get published. My god, someone, as we speak, may be making illicit copies of Stephen King's latest gorefest!

Re: Hot Truck - 22 years ago
I wouldn't. I loved Hot Truck when I was in college, and I would probably love it again if I could get it fresh from the truck. When I was in Ithaca in '98 at someone else's 5th reunion, Hot Truck was serving pizza that had been premade. Sucked. I certainly wouldn't get it by mail.by ugarte - Hockey
