Polls 12/14

[Trotsky]

So which one of us is going to get killed during the Florida tournament?

The one in a red shirt.

Uh oh.

[Killer]

I'm sticking with that writer should continue to give it to us until he/she has a reason to take it away.

Here's a good reason: maybe he thought some other team was more deserving?

I have successfully kept myself from bitching about this for years, but I'm finally fucking sick of it.  The reason Cornell moves in the polls even when it doesn't play is that the voters are adjusting the positions of the other teams that are playing.  This is not fucking rocket science, people.  Good lord, get over it already.

Easy, Kyle!
Have an eggnog, dude!!
Maybe the Ithaca Journal will give us that vote back next week??

::wtf::

LOL.  Sorry, I'm just sick of reading the same fallacious argument week to week during the regular season.  It would be fine if people recognized it as an obvious joke (e.g., Jerk/Typical), but it's clear that some people take it seriously, as if they really don't understand why Cornell moves around when they don't play.

In my spare time from job-hunting, I've been working on numerous angles and mathematical models to predict our movement when we don't play.  Right now my best lead seems be the abundance of winter moths.  We've been seeing a lot this year, and last week's record temperatures (Thursday?) resulted in a huge presence.  Obviously, this caused us to rise from 5th to 4th.  Still trying to figure out where that 1st place vote went, though.  The moths don't seem to have a handle on that one.

Working on mathematical models in your spare time to predict poll movement when Cornell doesn't play? Sounds like something Kramer would be doing on Seinfeld :-}

However, if present trends continue & we avoided playing any games until the playoffs we could conceivably be seeded #1!

I was going to say it sounded like something JTW would be doing in real life.  :-}

So which one of us is going to get killed during the Florida tournament?

The one in a red shirt.

Uh oh.

So (moving from war movies to cop movies) who gets the line "I'm getting too old for this shit"?

Thank you, thank you. And, no Googling, either!

I will frame this and put it next to my autographed Ken Dryden jersey!!

INCH's FIRST HALF ALL-ECAC HOCKEY TEAM

G-Ben Scrivens, Cornell: The league's leader in goals-against average and save percentage will continue to be cursed by "it's a product of the system" stereotyping, but his play has gradually improved all season.

D-Tom Dignard, Yale: The standout from the defending league champs missed the end of last season due to injury, but has been right back in the mix this year after missing the first couple games. He has 11 points in nine games.

D-Mike Schreiber, Union: The Dutchmen don't get much offensive punch from the blue line, but they don't need it. The senior has contributed four goals and eight assists in 16 games.

F-Brandon Wong, Quinnipiac: A dozen goals and a dozen assists for Wong leads the way for one of the nation's most pleasantly surprising teams this year. Wong has four game-winning goals.

F-David McIntyre, Colgate: A premier player previously known for his goal-scoring proficiency has been more of a setup man this year, with a league-leading 14 assists.

F-Colin Greening, Cornell: He is second on the Big Red in scoring with 16 points and sets the physical and emotional tone for Cornell.
