All schools are equal. But some schools are more equal than others.

I would just like to take a moment to admire the fact that the user named Snowball managed to get this comment done first.

Also admirably, the Orwellian character thought to represent...TROTSKY!::banana::

Hahahaha, 100% True

My favorite book, after Huck Finn and Moby Dick... but oh wait, this is a hockey forum not a literature forum...

How about this for the Latin Nerds, we know you are out there:

Quinnipiac Delenda Est!!!

As someone who attended the Cornell School of Chemical Engineering and also same at Michigan my opinion of Michigan couldn't be higher.

are you still in Chem Engineering now? Because my son just graduated with a degree in it and could really use a job. :-}

I'll obviously let him tell you, but he used to deal with chemicals, not as an engineer (much like I'm not an engineer) and for sure not now.::crazy::

So I'd guess your son is out of luck from here.

No.  I'm on my third career and at age 73 I still wonder what I'm going to do when I grow up. As one of my colleagues said,  "I'd like to do something useful".  Cheers to her.

Sorry to tell you (and him) this, Adam, but American companies are trying to shift as much of their engineering labor to Asia. They're not nearly as skilled or creative, but they're much, much cheaper. Plus the American companies don't have to pay benefits.

It's one of the reasons I retired early - I couldn't deal with the incompetence.  Not to mention that we were dealing with some seriously dangerous stuff, and the Asian engineering companies only cared about cost, not safety or pollution issues.

High brow sports shit, the forum.

I looked it up too. Had the right idea but not the exact words.

To employees of overseas subsidiaries/subcontractors, I think is what he's saying.

Correct.  And remember, many countries have national medical insurance, so there's no need to pay benefits.

With NU losing in 2OT last night, that leaves only NCHC with bid stealers--ASU and UND

Clarkson and Dartmouth can steal a bid from Michigan as well. And if ASU/UND win, and non-QU win, an ECAC team would either knock out Penn State or Q itself.

Isn't the ECAC still a bid stealer? If we beat Q, we could have 2 bids.

You beat me by a minute on this one.

But couldn't Cornell also steal a bid if we win?

Yeah basically - but from Quinnipiac. I didn't elaborate on the whole thing - but I've been trying to explain to Penn State fans for two weeks that they didn't have a bid "locked down" after last week - despite what they were all gloating about. So let's say ASU/ND win NCHC.  Then Penn State has to be concerned with Q losing, only if Q loses the final.  If Q loses to Cornell, Penn State remains safe and Q drops below Penn State.  So that's what I was referring to - and as you can see, that takes longer to explain what I meant
