Title: Preseason Basketball Publications Pick Cornell
Post by: CornellFan on September 05, 2007, 11:06:36 AM
I can't provide links (because none exist), but you can view the full stories on my blog.

Additionally, Dime Magazine did a nice story on Ryan Wittman and Louis Dale.

I love the implication in the title of your blog post, that the magazines have "Pick[ed] Cornell to Win It All".  :-)

If anyone thinks I am talking about the NCAAs (and not just the Ivy), then they must be on drugs.

I didn't say anybody would ever mistake Cornell for a team that could win the NCAAs.  Nevertheless, when most people use that phrase, that's what they're talking about, so I thought it was funny that you used it to mean something else.

I mean, seriously - what would winning less than "it all" be?  Ain't no pennant in Ivy hoops, nor even a Gehrig Division like there is in Ivy baseball.

Not deriding you, just amused.

Sorry, Beeeej. I'm with Cornell Fan on this one. It is ambiguous, but anyone with minimal knowledge of the context (say, someone into Cornell sports) wouldn't resolve the ambiguity the way you did (or, more accurately didn't). The post title is a bit hyperbolic but it isn't confusing. The Ivy League title is the "all" that Cornell is shooting for.

To make it clearer, I changed the title.

Damn... and here I was, expecting it to say something like "Bite me, Beeeej."  :-D
