GAME!!

BC loss will drop them (or will it?), but how far?

[DeltaOne81]

Well someone at USCHO clearly watching cause that was quick. It drops them back into a tie with us, which we currently win due to RPI.

Not with the bonus points.

Could a Harvard win over BC next week be what it takes for Cornell to crack the top four in the polls?

[Robb]

If so, GO HARVARD!

Too bad our RPI will probably be too low by that point to keep the PWR comparison with BC, even if Harvard beats them...

[KeithK]

Go Harvard regardless.  A Harvard win helps us more in RPI than a BC win because we play Harvard twice (or more) and BC once.

Really.  It's supposed to be spelled "pawt".  (People are always butchering the Bawstin accent.)

To get pedantic about it, look at this map from the (still in development) Phonological Atlas of the United States:

http://www.ling.upenn.edu/phono_atlas/maps/MapsNE/Map1NE.html

As you can see, a distinct circle around Providence indicates the unheralded Rhode Island accent, wonderfully represented on the Family Guy.  Rhode Islanders tend towards the "aw" sound while Bostonians of the non-Southie variety seem to sound more like Mainers.  This is, of course, born (or, perhaps, "bow-uhn") out by the small overlap between the Providence region and the "Eastern New England" accent.

If you poke around the rest of the site, you'll see that, in general, they have it right about a lot of things.

Btw, being here for 6 months now, I must disagree. "aw" is Long Island, isn't it? As in "Oh my Gawd!". Boston is more 'ah', as in "Hahvahd", and "Pahk my cah by the Hahvahd yahd" - not "Pawk by caw by the Hawvawd Yawd" - that's NY.

Or, as in my of my all time favorite sentences, the guy they interviewed after Game 6 of the ALCS - some guy in a bar - who said "My haht stahped!"

My personal favorite came the first time I went to the ECAC tourney at the Garden (in 1979).  We were at "Sucks" Square and wanted to take the T to the Garden for the game, so we asked the guy selling tokens how to get there.  His response:

"To the gahden?  Ok, from heeh at Hahvahd Squaeh, you take the red line to Pahk St., transfuh theh to the green line towahds Lechmeeh and get off at nohth station foh the gahden."

I nearly laughed in his face.

My personal favorite was seeing a car go by with a bumper sticker that read:
