So our PWR is 9, which is much better than I thought 2 wins would do. And in regard to RPI, we are almost as close to 8 as we are to 10. That speaks well to what we can do, if we keep winning.

Beat Colgate, a team, that as the season has progressed, seems to have found themselves. In the beginning of the year I expected this to be a relatively easy 2 win weekend. Now that doesn't seem as likely.

I'm a sports pessimist by nature, but except for a flukey performance at Quinnipiac, Colgate really struggles to score. I'll be disappointed if we don't win both games.

really need to get a couple more guys going to score.. we are getting away with mostly the one line but that wont happen forever.

still  lets run the table at home and get to 4-3 on the road and we should be in good shape.

We need to start getting guys healthy. It seemed we were inching towards full strength after the new year, but we're back to being severely undermanned. After Harvard & Dartmouth, Colgate may not be easy, but it's hard to think of another travel pair I'd rather have scheduled next weekend. Hopefully by two weeks from now the infirmary will start emptying out.

Just a heads-up: Colgate is showing the game time for Friday night's game at Colgate as 7:30 PM. That's also the time on the ticket purchase confirmation I received from Colgate. Cornell is still showing the game time as 7:00 PM.

Anyone have a summary of the injury situation?

Andreev possibly out long-term, with Mullin out short-term. Green and Malott still not back.

green/mallott pretty good shot we get one or both back this week.

dont expect Andreev for awhile if it all

Mullin, played then sat the next game, could be bruise, could be more serious.

I81 and the Thruway were closed to trucks and buses on Saturday and some of Sunday. I don't know when they were opened and if it also applied to I88.

If there's such a thing as a "trap series" (there isn't) Colgate is it.  Coming after this weekend's jubilation and before the annual Death March to Schenectady (4 wins in the last 12 RS games there), with the Raiders looking really bad on paper... Danger, Will Robinson!  Friday is their equivalent of Fish & Fowl.  We need to get up early and crush their spirit.

A little flex time in case Cornell has to send somebody back for the jerseys.
