That doesn't really work. They just won the Hockey East, and we didn't win the ECAC.

National Titles, not conference titles.

C'mon, Al, it's Scarlet and White. ;-)

Mike:

The only Red, White and Brown unis in college hockey that I know of are SLU and Brown.

[Al DeFlorio]

Scarlett was a pushy southern broad.  Fiddledee-dee.:-P

i meant that bu's red was a dirty shade representing brown or maroon

[Al DeFlorio]

I think you'll find it an almost perfect match for Cornell's red.

Yup. . .defiantly almost the same color as us and their jerseys look just like the Detroit Red Wings. . .yuck!!!:-P

OK, but that's not "no hardware." And of course they don't have a national title, they just won their first conference title. Considering that our last one was 32 years ago, it's not like we have really dominated since then either. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just giving you a hard time. I don't think the UNH fans would really get that you mean no national titles by saying "no hardware." But what's all this talk about banners anyway, we still have to beat Quinnipiac on Sat, as someone so nicely reminded me this morning. (as if I would forget, of all people.)

I wonder if Crayola has ever produced Scarlet or Carnelian crayons? B-]

[Greg Berge]

Bob Norton continually referred to us as wearing "Cornellian" red.  Granted, it might have been his horrible accent, but I think he was just being typically dense.

As God is ma' witness, ay'll nevah be shorthanded again!

I think the most precise specification (in terms of reproducibility) is Cornell's official color for the university logo (at least in print) - Pantone 186.  An interesting article in the Jan/Feb Cornell Magazine discussed precisely the topic of "What color is carnelian, anyway?"  In the article, it was stated that "the shade of carnelian has varied over the years...from maroon to scarlet and almost every shade in between (except crimson)."

Thanks, Tom - I'd forgotten about that article.  

Yet another way that Ned left his mark on our lives...

Leave it to you, Tom, to lurk for months, then swoop in and post a single item about the Pantone scale.  :-))

Ken,

Are you going to be joining us in W'stah?  If we've met at all I think it was with Arthur about 13 years ago.

I'll be screaming at the TV here at home.   I'm handcuffed to my job - it's a good thing I like my work.

Arthur and I have been friends since our sophomore year - '68-69, but I'm nowhere near the hockey fan/scholar that he is.  

Have a great weekend - LET'S GO RED!  (Pantone 186)
