Maybe it was just my own confusion, but it turns out that, like Cornell, there are two Augustanas.  Augustana College is in Rock Island, IL.  Augustana University, the one with the DI hockey team, is in Sioux Falls SD. I'd heard of Augustana when they were somewhat of a power in DIII football -- that's the College.

Geez, that means I don't know which Augustana my friend's wife's former boyfriend attended.  We all lived in suburban Chicago and the only other bit of info I have is that their 1972 bronze Chevelle had a honking big Augie sticker in the back window. My friend refused to remove the sticker because - I'm assuming - he'd won the biggest prize of his life.

It's a relief that Clarkson lost last night to StL. I had been getting progressively more frustrated at how much they've improved since Casey left.

It's a long shot, but it would be really great if we could beat Quinnipiac next weekend to derail their chance at an at-large bid.

They lost to RPI. Easy to watch since we lost early.   Easy to replay.   RPI looked better than in any home game they've played this season.

I could have sworn that Clarkson lost to RPI.

Congrats,  UM.  They looked awesome.

Ya know... only 3 teams (MSU 3, BC 4, WMU 4) have fewer losses than we (5).

Ya know... only 3 teams (MSU 3, BC 4, WMU 4) have fewer losses than we (5).

Yet only 2 teams (H, P) in the top 50 have fewer wins than we do. Only one other (UAF) has the same total, pending tonight's Alaska showdown.

Cornell is about .500 versus a middle of the road schedule.

PWR works. KRACH is even better. We are where we should be, given our performance coupled with our talent/luck

We should be thankful that members of this board did so much work in the 1990s to make college hockey one of the most transparent sports in the NCAA universe.

Yes, I agree with you. It's strange though that people fixed on random stats like how many losses we have (we've tied a ton of games and also have played like five fewer games than all the non-Ivies). My point is that even if you're going to disregard the PWR, we still don't like very good.

You seem to like nothing much lately.  And many on this board do not like your channeling Eeyore this season.  I do like the Freudian nature of your phone's spell check. World class AI.

Meanwhile, many on the board appreciate my willingness to acknowledge that things aren't going well. Many on this board also have grown tired of knee-jerk defenses of the team and coaching staff during what has been the most disappointing season in the history of Cornell hockey. It seems like anytime someone criticizes something about the team, a squad of Russian bots is dispatched into the forum to say positive things about the team and attack the poster doing to criticizing. It's childish behavior to repeatedly respond with personal attacks to me expressing a viewpoint.

Dude, 1992-93, 6-19-1.  You need to get a grip.

Stop responding to slights and provide some reasoned analysis or go outside for a walk.

Given our history since Schafer took over, it's really, really easy to think the floor is about .500 and we are only a few games above that. As opposed to thinking tha the floor is all the way down at "suck."
