Quinnipiac isn't getting enough respect, and we are getting too much :)
(yes I know, polls don't mean anything ever)
The Florida Classic looks better and better. If you believe the polls. Last week the No. 2, 8, 12 and NR (WMU) teams were in. Now it's 2, 3, 13, and NR. Too bad CSTV doesn't respect it enough for a broadcast. With one one truck roll they have three great games: two on opening night (well, us vs. UNH) and then the title game which either pits 2-3 (UNH-Maine) or let's hope 3-13 (Maine-Cornell). Western Michigan isn't likely to get past Maine, although the way we've played, if it were them and us ...
