That's no good, and that asshole that scored ran over and waved to our fans and it wasn't even a home game. Waiting for the RPI to update to see what we're looking at with our NCAA tourney hopes.

Only dropped to 23, we should get a home game but no bye

Princeton beats Penn 3-1 in final. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes up the final rankings,

we're at 25 in the RPI right now, Princeton at 17 and Penn at 7. Still looking good for a home game on Thursday. Weather is supposed to be in the 30s and rainy that night so I'm hoping we get a southern team that won't be able to handle it.

Cornell will host fordham on Thursday for a chance to play #2 Pitt. Fordham sits at 29 in the rpi but this feels to me like a game we should have the upper hand in.

Looking at fordham's schedule we have had four common opponents (Colgate, Penn, Princeton, Marist) and we did better against all of them. On top of that fordham plays on turf and now they're going to come to our muddy grass field. I feel great about this draw.

Penn gets the 6 seed and a bye and will play the winner of UMass (23) and Evansville (49).
Princeton plays Akron (34) for the right to face 14 seed Indiana (21).

Princeton has a pretty sick draw. Coming off the ILT win, they line up to face a seeded team with a lower RPI than theirs.

Game moved to 2 because of a winter storm watch. I'm going to have to miss some of the action because of class now.

Going to class instead of the game? That's weak! ;-)

I wish I could skip but it's the last class before a prelim and only cuts 15 mins into the game anyway. I'll watch the stream during class at least.

In life, you have choices to make. Fifty-five years ago, it was:

Go to class versus  
Join the Class Struggle against the war.

The 2024 choice is harder. Because: Cornell made the choice for you and called off classes back then. Your choice became March Against the Man vs. Smoke Dope and Play Frisbee with Your Dog on the Arts Quad.

Dogs aren't allowed on campus anymore?

Iceberg:

What do you suppose is the most important factor in successfully recruiting talented college hockey players?

osorojo:

It's the number of puppies present on a campus. Do I win?

Me:

I hope not, as there are very few, if any, dogs roaming around on campus these days. Back in the day, a highlight of football games was a couple of dogs running around the field with refs and staff trying to corral them. First they were banished from the libraries, because old books were bound with horse glue and dogs liked to lick the spines. Later they were banned from all buildings. What's the problem with a few hairs in a Petri dish?

True story - a friend adopted a female black lab, Wanda. Chris was a devout Catholic who went to mass most Sundays at Anabel Taylor. Once when she was in heat, he left her home, but not her odor. He was followed into the chapel by a pack of male dogs, one of whom humped him in the aisle. Dogs have a knack for adding levity to the most somber of occasions.
