where's the party tomorrow night? a RS title is definitely reason to celebrate! hope that we can pull off a win tomorow!

I prefer not to jinx it by planning a venue. If we win, stick around after the game, a group of us often hangs back to make plans in Section C near Press Row.

I hope Melissa's a little more decisive than the rest of the group.

"Where should we go?"

"I dunno."

(Small talk occupies the next five minutes.)

"So, did we decide where to go?"

"Um...."

(Five more minutes.)

"So..."

Hey, I kid because I care. ;-)

Yeah, but the indecisiveness is useful when one needs to do things like retrieve posessions from the horse-brutality room.

> from the horse-brutality room.

I SO don't want to know... :-/

we decided on food. always good. and waited for sat and Dunbars to celebrate. last night's 2 titles (ok, we won RS on friday but the cleary cup was what made it real) was freakin awesome. absolutely love how the team stated weeks ago that they didn't care squat about the ivy title yet when the fact that they won it was announced last night they went crazy!!!! it was wicked!! LGR!

And watching on the webcam, everyone seemed a lot happier about winning the Ivy title than the ECAC RS. Presumably part of this is that the Ivy competition is over (aside from finding out whether we share it with Harvard) but the real ECAC title is yet to be won. (Although I thought Schafer's "I don't want this thing, get it away from me" reaction was a bit overboard, even if it does have the name of a nemesis on it.)

I think there's a similar reaction in the NHL to the trophy for finishing with the highest number of points in the regular season. The real prize is Lord Stanley's shiny bowl and nobody wants to appear too happy about winning the other thing.

This sentiment is reflected quite aptly in the banners hanging from Lynah's rafters. Plenty of Ivy Championship banners - not a single ECAC Regular Season Title banner.

of course, any such banner would be 28+ years old

ugarte · February 26, 2002, 11:39:55 AM

Does the school have any intention of putting up an ECAC regular season banner? (Just curious, but patient. No need to answer this question until after the tournament. ;-) )

Beeeej · February 26, 2002, 11:57:40 AM

I can't imagine why they'd start now if they never put up banners for the first four RS titles we won.

And John - none of the banners are more than five years old.

They never have to this point. Can't imagine any reason they'd start now. Would want to look like Princeton or Yale who put up a banner every time they score a goal...

jtwcornell91 · February 26, 2002, 01:05:36 PM

Although we do have a banner for every time we made the NCAA tournament.

That would be the previous five RS titles: http://www.spiritone.com/~kepler/ecac/ecac_rs_one_seeds.htm
