Union Pregame

[Jim Hyla]

OK, I'll start it, but leaving soon for the game.
Here are a couple of articles from Albany and Schenectady papers.
Schnectady Daily Gazette
Albany Times-Union
The Times-Union has some interesting stats.
We've outscored opponents 91-69, Union's been outscored 85-75.
We have best league D at 2.13, they only score at 2.27.
They talked about special teams and here are the conf stats:

Code Select Expand


    PP   PK  Net Special Teams
CU 21.7 87.6  +8
UC 15.5 81.7  -6

So far I like it.

Lies. Damn lies. And statistics. And here's one I don't like:

Cornell's Head to Head Against Union This Season: 0-2.

I do like the law of large numbers, however...

The New York Football Giants were 0-2 against the Dallas Cowboys during the 2007 NFL regular season.  I don't mind how that playoff matchup turned out.  **]

And the New York Football Giants were 0-1 against the New England Patriots during the 2007 NFL regular season.  I don't mind how that one turned out either.

I know 0-1 isn't as appropriate as Josh's example.  But it had to be said. :-D

If you break it down further, in the six periods where Cornell played Union this year, there was one period were Cornell outscored Union (1-0), three periods where the two teams tied (2-2), and two periods where Union outscored Cornell (3-0).

On the power play, Cornell was 1 of 7, whereas Union was 0 of 6.

So, um, it's probably going to be a close series. Not that we didn't know that already.
