other games 11-3 and 11-4-06

By the way, woofing would be saying that based on the last four games we're definitely going to put 33 more win on the board. For the record on IRC I only said "33 more wins to go", I didn't claim that we would win 'em. :-D

Pot calling the kettle black, eh?

[Rich S]

Nope, not all.  How do you figure "pot calling" here?

I wasn't the one woofin'.

And no, your team won't be at the bottom of the league.

No, you weren't woofing.  But calling me touchy when you fly off the handle at the mere mention of your team in anything less than glowing praise, even when it is obvious to everyone that the comments were in jest is pretty hypocritical.

It's a little unfair to bring that up in this thread, where the only mention of Clarkson is that they won.  Rich S doesn't deserve that tonight.

[quote KeithK][quote Rich S]Who have they played worth woofin' about?[/quote]Whether or not Rich is trolling, he's right. Four wins is four wins.  But it doesn't say that much about what things will look like in March, except that I doubt we'll be atthe bottom of the league (but we knew that anyway).[/quote]

But Jeff wasnt trying to say it made us the best team in the league, he was just pointing out an interesting statistical fact.  Of course, someone on a different team's board pointing out an interesting fact was just too much for someone to take.

[quote KeithK]Keep in mind that we were the last unbeaten and untied team in 1997-98 too.  So lets not get cocky.[/quote]

Given the late start we're forced to have, I'm willing to bet that this distinction usually rests with an Ivy.  I seem to remember saying that about Cornell in '96 and/or '97.  I'm sure it's happened more than once since the season Keith referenced.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Oh, cut me a break.  I was rather excited about what I considered a good win.  And it was just something I noticed when reviewing the various conference standings.  As I said, "just sayin."  I never expected this would become a RichS flamefest.

WRT RichH's observation that this is something that usually rests with an Ivy, I'd suppose he's right.  But within my recent memory, it usually hasn't been us.  And it usually ends one or two games into the season.

Now, to appease the sniping gods, Clarkson looks pretty good so far this year.  Happy, RichS?

So was I. Here's another stat... we've allowed the fewest goals of any team this season. Sure most of the teams have played twice as many games as we have, but it's still nice to see.

You should know better than that at this point. Every thread seems to become a RichS flamefest and I'm pretty sure he likes it that way. I'd much prefer it if he took his shots on USCHO but I doubt he'll stop until eLynah becomes uninhabitable.

If we shut up it will get awfully lonely for him. It's hard to carry on a one sided flamefest, at least for very long.

But then what would we have to do between 9:30 on Saturdays and 7:00 on Fridays?

[quote Rich S]A bit touchy are we?  Simply made the point that it's far to early to be woofin' especially given the competition they've faced.[/quote]

Other than in the transitive sense of a Yale team that beat New Hampshire, you're quite right, the competition hasn't been worth writing home about just yet.  That doesn't change the fact that we're the only unbeaten, untied team remaining this season - or the fact that Jeff actually said, "Not woofing."

So thanks for helping to point out that it's too early to be doing something that nobody's doing.

[Rich S]

Settle down Jeff.

Just because you say "just sayin," that doesn't mean you aren't woofing.

Yes Clarkson is off to a good start record-wise but you don't see me woofing about it.  They have faced stronger opponents than Cornell has but the season is much too young to get carried away with the early success.

And there are a few aspects of their game to be concerned about.  I'll see their Thanksgiving weekend set live at Cheel and will have a more informed opinion then.

If you guys think this has become a flamefest, you have only yourselves to hold responsible for the overreaction.  My comment about woofing was not inflammatory; just a statement of opinion about something many people here have warned others in the past not to do.

In this case, my namesake is correct.

That said, so what if somebody on a silly internet message board woofed or not?  That's one of the stupidest things to have an argument about.
