It's important enough to get a banner in the rafters. I think that says plenty.

Bill, you're totally right - I don't know what I was thinking...

Brown is guaranteed the Ivy title right now. They can only share if they lose to Dartmouth. And even if they lose once this week, they can still take the spitoon if they win all other games.

Since 2000-2001 Harvard has owned Dartmouth - kind of like how Dartmouth has owned Cornell.  Dartmouth is 1-6-2.

i say that give the ivy title a name and a piece of hardware and every team will (or begin to) find it relevant! :-P

Sorry, Age.  I look at those banners that say "Ivy Champs" and go "so what."  It's like all the "Patrick Division Champion" banners in Philly.  Meaningless.

If you were the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, would you remember that you lost the Stanley Cup or would you feel the pride of winning the Western Conference?

It is a good reminder of an accomplishment - maybe not a productive accomplishment in providing an autobid, but one that says we're better than Brown, Sucks, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale on a given year. We are a group of schools, and we want to be the best one out of them.

[Big Ben 03]

IMHO, winning the Ivy championship last year was quite a feat. 5 of the top 6 teams in the leauge last year were Ivy, as was the whole ECAC final four.  Namely - nobody in the leauge could have touched the Ivy title if they had wanted to. Maybe it doesn't mean that much EVERY year, but certainly it's picking up meaning as the ivies become more consistently good every year.

[LynahFaithfulS]

after all the ivy league was  designed as a sports league...

[rhovorka]

And ivysport.com has put out some nice championship shirts the last couple of years.  We had to wait until this season to get the ECAC champion gear from PSP.

[Q]BTW, note Yale's shizophrenic season: 1-8 vs Ivies, 9-0 vs non-Ivies, including a sweep of Colgate.[/Q]

So, do you think we can finally quell all that "E-Z-a-c" crap we get?

Last year, yes; this year, probably not.  The ECAC is likely to join the scrub conferences with only a single NCAA representative.

We're going to keeping getting that crap until we start winning a respectable number of NC games as a conference.

I don't remember when the last time was that the ECAC had a winning record against the rest of the Big Four.  1988?

Unless Brown wins out, only to be upset by Cornell in the the championship game, no?

[ursusminor]

The ECAC's Non-conference record would look a bit better if we were to count the league games against UVM as NC and discard UVM's current NC games. This sort-of makes sense because UVM is leaving -- then again, they haven't left yet.
