I hope I'm ready to root for them in eight hours.

Just remember, if they don't score 5 goals on Howard, it's better that they not beat Maine.

[Chris \'03]

And that's 5 regulation goals, right? It would be our luck that H would win 5-4 in three overtimes...

I gotta say that at the games last week-end I was cheering whole heartedly for Harvard and having a great time doing so. I was very happy that they came away with the title since we couldn't. I have no idea why but having them win ended up being the best case scenario in my mind. Despite heading into the rink with no real preference I found myself cheering Ivy and when the final game came down to the Knights and Harvard there was no question who I was cheering for. Heck I was even grinning like a fool when they won. Can't explain. Weird but true. I look forward to cheering them on again tonite as they face a much steeper challenge ...  ::twitch::

Remember this every time you have to hear "Harvard, winners of two of the last three ECAC championships" for the next year.  ::yark::

Did you have to say that, John.

More importantly, why couldn't I have read it before I ate lunch ::yark::

Maybe there's something wrong with me but it really doesn't bother me. It certainly did 2 years ago when we lost to them in double ot. I personally find that there is a HUGE difference in seeing them win against Clarkson (the team that eliminated us at home) and the last Placid experience. More or less ditto what Fred said earlier in the week.  Plus - who knows - maybe we're starting a pattern ... ;-)

[RedAR]

given that hahvahd is the only ecac team still playing hockey, i guess i'm resigned to rooting for them.  and, yes, when i heard during the ecac championship game that hahvahd was the champ 2 of the past 3 years, it made me want to puke.

Melissa,

Were you wearing a cornell jersey?  Not that the woman I saw wearing one sitting behind me one night was the only one but...gee, from what I've read here over the years...shame on you for rooting for Harvard...I'll have to let your cornell brethren deal with you.  :-D

John, thanks...I was thinking of the possible "difficulty" cornell fans may have had watching the game last Saturday, and realized we'd ALMOST all have been a lot happier had Clarkson won.  Over the years, we haven't had much success against the "Cantabs" in the playoffs.

BTW, does anybody still use that nickname?  I'm dating myself...::rolleyes::

[Rosey]

What's with this ECAC loyalty? ::screwy::  I personally couldn't give two shits about the ECAC: as far as I am concerned, the suckage of so many teams in the ECAC is part of what keeps Cornell down, because 15+ of our regular season games are against opponents that simply aren't on the same level as the best from the other conferences, and IMO playing up is always better than playing down.

That, and I could never root for Harvard.  Yikes.  I'd rather see Niagara win it than Harvard.  ::yark::

::banana:: <- I love this smiley.  I think I'll add it to my sig.

Cheers,
Kyle

Don' t get me wrong, I've supported Hahvahd in the NC$$s the past couple of years.  This year I'm supporting Lenny's GAA record, so if the Cantabs can score five goals against Howard, they're welcome to win.  But if the game goes to OT tied 2-2 I'll root for Maine to score ASAP and keep Howard's season going.

[Mike Hunt]

hell yes. i totally agree with you kyle. if it weren't for this damn ivy thing, id wish for cornell to join hockey east and actually play some worth while teams. the problem with cornell is that we dont have enough competition and we play down to these other teams' levels. it sucks ass because the more you play teams like bc, bu, & unh, the better you become. but we're stuck playing shit teams like princeton, yale..etc.  fuckin a', i wish we won those damn games against clarkson (another bad team -- us playing down to their level), so we can prove how good we really are by playing a good team.

ok, i'll bite. what exactly is a Cantab? i searched on yahoo and the only thing i understand is that this alternate harvard nickname is somehow connected to the city's namesake cambridge (uk).

[Greg Berge]

Yes, Cantab = Cantabridgian.  As in, "For to be a Cantabridgian / You've got to learn... to... take it up the rear."
