Just win, baby.

And being wildly optimistic, looking ahead to early February, and doing all the things I know one shouldn't do, when was the last time Cornell beat 2 teams ranked #1 in a single season?

It hasn't happened since at least 83.  My guess is Ned's teams may have done it.  It is possible that they have never done it.

Were there polls in the sixties and early seventies?

Right about when we moved from gas lamps to electricity, Marty.::bolt::

[Trotsky]

Were there polls in the sixties and early seventies?

This is something I've been trying to discover.  I believe there were several polls conducted by TV/radio stations.  One in particular was IINM out of a radio station in Michigan and was reprinted in the Boston Globe and in Don Birkmeyer's hockey newsletter.  I would dearly love to find a complete history of polls to fill in the details of Cornell's polling history going back to the beginning of time.

14 now. Forget it if you're 16, Robert Morris kicks you out. 15 is touchy, can't have any upsets. Have to shoot for 14, or better.

15 is not good enough this year, because it's likely that both the AH and WCHA champions will be outside the top 15.

Will this be the week we drop out of the polls? (Not counting the "Others receiving votes" )

[Trotsky]

We're somehow still 15th in PWR so we should be on the cusp in USA and comfortably in USCHO.

Basically we built an enormous surplus of statistical goodwill in the first third and have proceeded to piss it all away in the middle third.  The whole season comes down to the final third.

Good god, though, it's frustrating.  I find myself being mad at the team (which is of course ridiculous) because I can't help thinking "I know you guys can win because you did, so WTF are you doing now?!"  But for all we know, this is the real team, and the opening of the season was a never-to-be-repeated fluke.

I assume the truth is somewhere in the middle, and right now that middle is .500, which is what I expected back in August.  If so, well, bother.

I'll believe this when Big Red forwards can fly.
