If lots of teams have much higher RPI does that mean lots have much lower RPI? Are we just at record dispersion? Is the net RPI of all teams always the same? Does it self-normalize?by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
redice RichH adamw David Harding imafrshmn sah67 Iceberg I can tell you that ~15 years ago when I was a student, there was no such entry onto the ice after games and there was virtually no opportunity to interact with the players unless you were classmates, working with the team in a media capacity, or socially acquainted. During my undergrad days (a few years before yours), there was an annuby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
CU2007 What was going on with the Harvard players not leaving the ice at the end of the 2nd period? They were all standing around by the Zamboni door. Was that related to the F Bombs? Can’t think they would actually care.No, the team doesn't give a shit about stuff like that, it's parents with kids who don't want to hear it and complain to the AD, and TBH I'm fine with it.

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
BearLoverThe lamest cheer by far is the “hi ho, Silver, away!” or whatever they’re saying, is plus the cringe hand-motions.That's actually a really old one; IINM it is a reference to an Ike Willis bit who did a Lone Ranger thing during the 1984 Zappa tour because one night (in I believe Buffalo, but in any case in upstate NY), he just got really silly on stage.

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
Dafatone Wasn't there a "fuck you harvard" chant in the first period of both games?Oh, yeah, and it was loud and clear on the broadcast. I have a feeling we are going to get an off-season directive and it will go the way of "The ref fucks sheep."by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 I remember "Go start the bus", too. Unless we played Army ("Go start the tank" or Sucks ("Go staht the cahr". I think the whole "Hey goalie...your _____ Called" is uninteresting. Nobody can hear anything but You suck". I despise the tubas "Over There". Manly because the cheers don't fit the rhythm. It sounds clumsy toby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
I believe that was when Arthur said, "For those who did not hear the first warning, or are incapable of understanding, ..." It was Peak Arthur; AFAIC the crowning achievement of a legendary career.

Other fun stuff: this will be Cornell's 40th ECAC F4. (Personally, it will be Anne and my 25th, which would make us the 4th most successful school despite missing the first 20 seasons.) Appearances by decade: 60s 4 (of 8) 70s 9 80s 5 90s 5 00s 8 10s 7 20s 2 (of 3)by Trotsky - Hockey

RichH andyw2100 Trotsky Beeeej Incidentally, this particular combination of four teams has never before been in the ECAC semis, Lake Placid or not. Q’s history in the conference may be relatively brief, but it’s also already twenty years.Nicely noticed, Beeej. TBRW is missing Yale in 1986, Greg. 1985 has 5 teams. Probably the source of the 1986 error. Fixed, thank you.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 2 months ago
IcebergSome of these posts reminded me of why I only went to two of the games against Harvard as a student. They always seemed to attract some of the most obnoxious folks who never appear at any other games. Take young males and add alcohol. When I was a student, the fans in A and B at Fish 'n Fowl were, how shall I put this?, more "attractive" than the fans the rest of the season.by Trotsky - Hockey

I'm also pretty certain the top seed used to get its pick or early or late game, always chose early, so the high remaining seed gets assigned the 4 pm Friday game.
