UMD 1 Princeton 1 end of one

[Rich S]

uh no.  

Clarkson actually won a first round game last year and if Sauer didn't stand on his head the next night, we may well have beaten Mich the next.

So how did Yale do today?  :-|

[quote Rita]Air Force defeats Michigan 2-0.

aaaaaahhhhh See yaah. You lose! ::banana::

Miami takes down #1 seed Denver 4-2.  

Another "high seed" falls. Vermont defeats Yale 4-1.

::popcorn::[/quote]

Mich and Denver were both # 1 seeds in their region right?

Applying the "logic" that was used here 2 years ago when #1 Clarkson was shut out by U Mass, then both Denver and Mich "choked" today.

Is that right?  ::screwy::

ridiculous.

Yes, and going 0-5 between 1997 and 2007, including twice with a bye in the 12-team tournament and once as a 1-seed in the 16-team tournament, doesn't factor in at all. ::rolleyes::

Glad to see you don't have an obsession with this forum, dear Richard, nor any other mental derangement.::wtf::

You DON'T think that Michigan choked today? That's screwy.

[quote Trotsky][quote jtwcornell91]What, no love for the RPI fight song?[/quote]

I can't remember it.  I do like their alma mater, though.[/quote]

I wrote a parody of this many years ago when I thought there weren't any words.  Some of the RIP alums took umbrage, but I thought the parody was a bit more fun than this:


    Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
    For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
    True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
    Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.

    Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet.
    Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat.
    Hear the voices ringing loud and sweet.
    Hear that mighty shout of ...

    Hail, dear old Rensselaer, the college of our heart.
    For dear old Rensselaer, we all must do our part.
    True to old Rensselaer, we'll always strive to be.
    Now, dear old Rensselaer, hail to thee.

Some fight songs should not have words.  Case in point:

I am a Utah man, sir and I live across the green.
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.
Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.

Who am I, sir, a Utah man am I:
A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die: Ki! Ki!
We're up to snuff: we never bluff.
We're game for any fuss.
No other gang of college men dare meet us in the muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out shout it to the sky.
We'll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah man am I!

[Al DeFlorio]

2-1 Tigers, according to the USCHO Score Update thread.

[Rita]

3-1 Princeton, 11:50 left in the 2nd. Very Pretty goal on a big, phat, rebound.

[quote Chris 02]UMD 1 Princeton 1 end of one[/quote]

Princeton now leads 2-1 in the 2nd.

[Al DeFlorio]

UMD cuts it to 3-2.  Is this lacrosse?

[Rita]

Now 3-2 Tigers.

UMD took 28 seconds to negate the Tigers 2 goal lead.

[DeltaOne81]

Now 3-2 Princeton
