You know what?
Brown is a very very good university with a sad hockey tradition and an even more pathetic facility. St. Lawrence is a very good college with a rich hockey tradition and a beautiful, historic facility (and incidentally is one of only four of the 56 D1 hockey schools, along with Brown, sporting a perfect academic advancement rate for its players. Now, could you please go back to your freezing cold, echoing, empty igloo of a rink to admire your acceptance letter?Last edited by bcarlisle; 10-30-2012, 03:11 AM.St. Lawrence University

I loved Meehan, and you all would have as well if you were lucky enough to get one of those acceptance letters. I recall Appelton was somewhat of a dump when I played there....haven't seen the updates since then but i'm sure you appreciate the charm and tradition of an older rink as we do in Providence.
Looks like you have a strong team this year, but despite not having the same constraints academically and financially you've had your challenges here and there since your last major run in '88 as well. Despite our 'sad hockey tradition and pathetic rink' - I guess it speaks volumes that Lappin would choose to pay to go to Brown over a free education at the institution where his father thrived.

You look at it 15 times a day, don't you? I'll see of I can't dig out my wait list letter from Brown to make you look even better. Do you have your SAT scores? We'd be honored if you shared them with us. And, the allegations of your ignorance above? Not insults, just fact. The hockey players at SLU have sometimes outperformed the general student body in GPA. Hockey scholarships bring in better, not worse students. I'm not here to argue that we have higher acceptance standards overall but you are sorely lacking on the facts. Canton is not for everyone but it's not any better or worse than your mobbed up, past it's prime New England industrial town.
Hijacking of the thread over. I don't have a bridge to climb under here in the states as someone suggested, but i'll check the portfolio as I think I might own one in London.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
So, after we were rudely interrupted... UAH this weekend for a couple. I truly hope we reciprocate these 2 games next year and make the trip south, as UAH has been really struggling to get home dates, plus who doesn't like a little trip down below the mason-dixon in the winter?
Hopefully the boys come out and take care of business and continue the strong start. These are 2 games they should win, and there should be no lack of motivation with it being Joe Marsh Weekend. Wish I was able to make it up there, however I'll have to wait a couple more weeks. For those of you making the trip, hope you see good hockey, and hope that the ceremonies are just as Joe would want them.

I guess it's hard for you to lighten up if you've saved and obsessed over a 'wait list' letter all these years. Poked a little fun at your school in retaliation for dumping on Brown, you'll get over it.

When I asked one fine lad why he wasn't making better use of his SLU degree, he said he should have listened to his giudance counsler when he said he would be better off repeating four years of HS than becoming a Saint! But hey, the hockey team is off to a good start.
