The only people in any position to laugh are Providence. The rest of us, until we win again, are sucking lemons.

Which, after 45 years, is starting to get a little old. Not that I'm complaining...

Has nothing to do with the national championship, or even hockey for that matter. IIRC, it was an academic ranking in the Princeton Review or some such thing. That and "St Clooud" were epic moments here on USCHO.

Nah, MarkEagle has it right. They were ranked something like #26 in best libarts schools in some review I think, can't remember if it was a northeast or national comparison though. Princeton review or Forbes or some such list. They saw it as a major source of celebration, and got mocked for celebrating mediocrity.

Of course MarkEagle had it right, don't mess with him!

Correction, it was St, Clooud. You can't forget the comma, it brings the whole meme together, man. It's like a really great rug.

To the Union fan(s) that were upset by this and felt it necessary to dole out negative rep, get over yourselves. The whole #26 Union/St, Clooud thing was started by one of your own. Had absolutely nothing to do with hockey and was funny as hell at the time (at least to those of us on the outside). Of course, since then, you've taken home some hockey hardware and I respect that more than you'll ever know. However, in USCHO lore, #26 Union will never be forgotten.

#26 Onion vs. St, Clooud!

The same "experts" that put Ivy schools in the Top 20 for weeks at the start of the season when they haven't even played a game...

You don't believe in pre-season polls then? Doesn't a team that showed promise on paper still show that promise after other teams have played a game??
