Most likely upset this weekend

[CrazyLarry]

Consider yourself flagellated.  I take no chances.  :-D

Also, I have a lot of faith that if we continue to win, the PWR numbers will shake themselves out in the end.  Teams will get upset.  There are teams down in the 12-16 range that are deperate for wins.  There will be upsets, there always are.  And teams will lose because someone has to lose all these games that will be played in the next 3 weekends.  Wait and see, the only important thing will be whether our guys can win the games they are presented with.  I am confident in this.  It is tough to move your RPI up to 0.6 while losing games.

You DO know that to flagellate someone/something (if it could be used as a verb, which it can't....) would be to give them a WHIP-LIKE tail  ??

Animal Science Major....couldn't resist:-P


And why are some of you  saying that our boys in Red aren't GOOD ENOUGH to win?  When will they be good enough for you ? You can do better, I suppose.  Sheeesh. They're great ! I watched the Maine/BU game on TV and was less than impressed. Maybe we had a sub-stellar performance at Princeton, but I'm pretty sure WE WON. The Big Red plays with more heart than any other team (always has)  and as miserable as you seem to make them out to be, take a look at Greg's stats........ If you are a member of the FAITHFUL, have some FAITH ! LET'S Go RED !  :-(

Sorry, Beth, but flagellate is a verb that means to "whip, scourge, flog, or lash" -- Random House College Dictionary.

Editor....couldn't resist:-P

Anne, I almost said shouldn't  be used as a verb (as opposed to COULDN'T be....) . Nothing beats a good flogging, IMHO. Much better version of the human use of the word.....still comes from flagellum. I'll consider myself flogged and head to bed, retiring my own red pen for the evening.  

..... much too late for me to be in a vertical position anyway .  Visions of hockey pucks danced in my head ::nut::

Ummm.

As a noun, flagellate means an organism with a whiplike tail. As an adj., it means resembling a flagellum.

However, the verb form has a different (albeit related) meaning.  To flagellate means a) to whip or flog or b) to punish by whipping. So Keith did use the word correctly.

Pendantry?  What would Colonel Spelling-bee say?;-)

Sigh. My point was not to correct someone's spelling or grammar as so many people are quick to do on this HOCKEY forum. We are often reading/writing these things late at night (just gotta check the forum before bed.....you know you do it too) and until Age gives us spell and grammar check we're on our  own.

Anyway  my POINT  was not the word thing....that was an aside. My reason for posting was that I'm of the opinion  that so many of you are so quick to criticize our beloved BIG RED team and their performances when I thought you should be more faithful and loyal and less critical. But this is certainly a critical bunch, as anyone sees when they make a post with ANY kind of error, such as having incorrect  opinions, for example.
