Wallowing

[Scersk '97]

Yes, Clarkson surely felt screwed...

Why? Because Princeton's coaches did their jobs and tried to win a hockey game?

Blah, blah, blah.  Keep your logic out of my once-removed wallow.  Yes, the Princeton coaches were brilliant—all hail Princeton and its brilliant coaches!  If I could make that Tiger roar right now, I'd do it and love it!!!  Wheee!

Yet, in some fairyland of fairness, I wish standings watching could be eliminated, at least during the games.  (Indeed, Brown and 'Gate already screwed with their early game.)  However unrealistic it might be, I long for the games to be played at the same time under a media blackout.  I long for a lot of unrealistic things.

To my (clearly addled, illogical) mind, it's just nice to spread around the wallowing by considering that the fans of other teams are wallowing too.  Wallowing is showering in the worst of it, and I think that should also include the negative side of "what if?"

How dare you bring logic to bear on my co-Schadenfreude!

Schadenfreude is an anagram for Schafer End Due.

No doubt what the Princeton coaches did was very smart. Great move, that many would not make.

It's not like they have to worry about what a loss does to their chances in the Pairwise.

To try to get home-ice advantage in the CCHA quarterfinals, Ferris State tried the same thing against Michigan at Yost. Had Ferris State scored, Michigan would have lost home-ice advantage for the first round.

The hockey game finished in a 1-1 tie, and Michigan prevailed in the shootout. The shootout result impacted the playoff seedings, but not which teams got home-ice advantage.

Wow.  That surprised me. Realistically, to be replaced by who? Doug Darraugh?  Would Union's Coach jump?

And you must kill at Scrabble.

I have to believe that Cornell could attract a quality coach. Darraugh has done an outstanding job with the women's program. If you watch the women move the puck you can only say "I wish the men could do that" (Yes I know the game is different)

And we had it tried against us, by Clarkson. 1989 Quarters, this time I'm correct Beeeej:-D. We won the first game, and if Clarkson would win the second game, we'd have to go to that stupid mini game. It was a 0-0 tie when Clarkson pulled their goalie, but didn't score. Not quite the same since they knew they had to win, but still pulled a goalie in a tie game. So Clarkson couldn't perform, but Princeton could.

I motion that "Derraugh" be added to the Spelling Guide.

Watching the HU-PU replay, I'm even more pissed at Harvard. On the try on EN, the Harvard player had plenty of room to skate with the puck up ice beore firing it. A little more smarts on his part and ...

Or else Cornell performed while Harvard sucked.

Ironic reference to the inevitable "the game has passed him by" wail whenever we lose a game.  I hope Mike stays another 18 years.

Oh good...That sounds more like you. I'm releived.:-D

But you should know somebody used your name and password to start this thread with an awful list of stuff!

Ironic reference to the "fans" who immediately re-jumped back on the holocaust wagon the second we lost to Yale.  If they are going to whine, I would at least like them to whine informedly.

Also, the point of a chart like this isn't that we finished 9th.  It's that we finished in the top 4 12 of the previous 13 seasons, and what the fuck more do people want?

Unless Cornell wins the ECAC tournament, it's a disappointing year, any way you slice it.
