ECAC preseason polls

nothing rhetorical about it.

Folks object to one Tech supporter saying "Our Knights are awesome" yet many post comments here which qualify as equally strong examples of cheerleading or woofing.

No difference.

Actually, the "Cheap Shots R Us" was very much a reference to my own post, which - though I probably could have resisted - I chose not to.  I'm not entirely above such things when it's in good fun. :-)

As for March, I have no desire to take that up again.  I know where I stand and why, and as far as I was able to tell, you were not able to understand either one.

[Rich S]

Beej,

Get over yourself.  You said you were insulted that I didn't want  to walk over to where you were sitting.  I said I preferred to hang out and chat with a lot of folks whom I knew were there from the North Country.  You dismissed that idea.

In point of fact, I did take a walk over to your area and was dattired as I said i would be.  I guess you weren't there.  So be it.

Was railing at me worth it?   ::rolleyes::

No - nobody "objected" to those comments.  JTW simply pointed out that when you start posting like that, you've gone too far - no matter who does it or whose board he does it on.  I think most of the regulars on this board agree with that view and (as JTW subsequently pointed out) call out our own when it does go that far.

I've never seen anyone on the Round Table do the same, but I'm only a 4 or 5 time per season viewer, so I may have missed something in the few dozen posts in between my visits...  :-P

Ralph,

Appropriate comment your part.

However, I do think that when Ann says "awesome", she is referring to the character of the Knights as individuals as much as she is referring to their on-ice performance because I know she gets to know al of them personally through Booster Club activities.

How did you refer to RPI when their performance was "awful" in a recent year?

I suspect that I have used words similar to awful to describe RPI's performance many times over the years.

I'm married to my school work, but I frequently cheat on her with booze and other women. I mean... she's a whore anyways

I agree with Robb.  I don't think anyone ever "objected" to that at all.  I know I didn't.  That phrase, her online persona, the arena signs, and the statue are all pretty endearing, if you ask me.  For the most part, it's amusing, not objectionable...a "hey, that's fun in a corny sort of way" type of thing.  Kind of like the first time you see the "Rally Monkey."  The difference is that the Rally Monkey got overexposed and overused.

Wow...this may set the record for earliest big Clarkson-Cornell online pissing match!  This should be a fun season!

For the record (and to tug the wheel back in the direction of the topic), I think this will be a huge coming-out year for George Roll, and Clarkson will have a much stronger regular season than Cornell.

Thus restoring the established order to the ECAC?  As long as we fulfill Kepler's Second Law by winning in the playoffs, I can live with that this season.
