I noticed that this year Robert Morris has defeated Western Michigan, which defeated..... uh, Michigan State.  I was hoping WMU might have taken down someone more impressive.[/quote]

With that kind of a sequence, I was expecting we'd end up at Kevin Bacon.  :-P[/quote]

OK, if you insist:

Robert Morris has defeated Western Michigan, which defeated..... uh, Michigan State, which defeated Cornell, which was watched at Yale by me, who knows Phil, owner of the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, where a certain duo occasionally sing...and that duo would be Michael and Kevin Bacon.

Well, we're in with the .003/.002/.001 bonus.  If the bonus gets bumped up to .004/.0025/.001, then we're out.

Ha, amateurs

Referring to the Albany and Worcester regionals as "East" and "Northeast" is sort of a misnomer, since Worcester is almost due east from Albany.  (Albany is actually just a smidge further north, so if one of them should be "Northeast", Albany is it.)  Is there some NCAA rule that regionals have to be referred to by compass directions?  Couldn't they just call them the "Albany" and "Worcester" regionals?

Cornell is listed as "Looking good, but pay attention to details" in the latest article about the PWR.

The gist of the article is that Cornell is on an unstable base right now (nothing we didn't know). We are in the meat of the schedule now, with 6 straight TUC games, and the article is saying that with so few TUCs so far any one loss hurts our impressive percentage much more. At least these games will also act to raise the RPI some as well.

Cornell is really in an excellent position right now.  By Monday night at 11PM it's not at all out of the question Cornell could have flipped as many as 8 comparisons and lost maybe only 1 it's now winning.

Cornell needs 3 points this weekend to make serious headway. They now have to start winning the TUC games consistently.  If they can, they're in a great position to make up a ton of ground without needing the out-of-towns to break perfectly every night.

At least 3 points against 15-6 Colgate and here's what can happen:

- UNO or LSSU will flip, maybe both.  They're playing each other and they're only the slightest bit ahead of Cornell in RPI right now.
- An OSU split, or worse, at MI flips the OSU comparison
- Ferris could barely hang on if they sweep WMU.  If not, it will flip.
- SCSU is playing 6-19 AA.  Even if they sweep a 3 pt Cornell weekend will flip this one
- Harvard beats BU Monday night, the BU comp swings to us
- MSU is playing 9-14 ND, even a seep might not do it for them
- It's a bit far fetched, but a CC sweep of visiting NoDak could flip that one as well.  More reasonably, a split in that series would make the NoDak advantage infinitesimal.

It's in Cornell's control to get to 5 or 6 in the PWR and stay home for the regionals.  A #1 seed is even theoretically possible at this point.  Just win.
