OK, so nobody on chat last night wanted to talk about it, but I'd like to see us play Clarkson. Anybody else care?

If we line up well against the Golden Crayolas then yes.  But they beat Dartmouth and have had some impressive games. They dismantled RPI in Troy andd then lost to them in Potsdam.  This league is the definition of parity - Cornell vs. Union being one of the exceptions.

I still don't want to talk about it.  

As a 4 we could play anyone between 5 and 9.  Cornell vs those teams:

5 RPI        (2-0)
 6 Princeton  (1-1)
 7 Clarkson   (2-0)
 8 Quinnipiac (2-0)
 9 Brown      (0-2)

I'd be fine with it.  At least I'd get to go to the games if Clarkson plays in Ithaca again.

I was wondering which of Hull's principles Union sold out first to start recruiting for athletics.

Probably 'indifference.'

Also interesting is this article on Union trying to cut down on profanity at hockey games. Nice quote here:

At a recent home game against Cornell University, he said, the entire student section was threatened with removal.

Prior years' ECAC Tourney results for those interested.

I have been mucking about with the css and font sets -- please let me know if they aren't rendering on some of our stranger browsers.  I tried to include the ubiquitous default families in each set.

Very nice summary

Finalists Named for League's Best Defensive Forward Award. Tough to pick, since SLU has such a lousy record, but I'd go for Bogosian.

Indeed, very nice to have so much Cornell info in one place. I switch between thinking "does this man have a life?" and "Sssh, if he feels good doing it, more power to him." Thank you, Mr. T.

First Round Playoffs:

Colgate at RPI < 3-0 < FINAL RPI 4-2
St. Lawrence at Princeton < 3-1 < FINAL Princeton 4-1
Harvard at Clarkson < Harvard 1-0 < FINAL Harvard 2-1 (upset)
Brown at Quinnipiac < Q 4-0 < FINAL Q 4-0

So seeds 5 - 6 - 8 - 10(Harvard) win [edit fixing H was 10 not 11. They just seemed that bad.]
