Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Uh, the proper quote is Rome, as in Italy. If you would like to compare your team to the French though, by all means please do.
"Rome wasn't built in a day." "Or so the peasant says"... Hey, that's not me calling you a peasant, L, that's just the 2nd part of the quote according to some Swiss linguist. ( I'll call you something worse in a moment, L ). Anyway, me, compare my team to the French? Not me, but I've heard our defensemen compared to the Maginot Line before. Something about immobility. What?
Now , I'm also pretty sure Paris ( FR ) wasn't built in a day-- although I did spend part of my early youth in Rome, NY, and that looks like it might have been slapped together in a day or so. Bleak place.
Just trying to think of a place that might have been built in a day, but that's crazy....but, wait! New Haven!! Yes! That couldn't have taken more than a few hours, maybe not even that! Are you familar with that dump? A blight on mankind!
But anyway, stop behaving like a d**m
Yale Man----told you I'd call you something terrible. We're here on this site to talk hockey, not urban planning, or lack thereof. This is a hockey site, so let's talk hockey! As they say, "When in Paris..."
Since I've been taken to task for my 'insubordination', I thought I would go back to the '08-09' season when complaints started to filter in about Teddy's ability to coach and focus only on the Ivies. Harvard's record in the Ivy League starting with the '08-'09 season is, wait for it, 14-25-11. If you include this season, the record goes to 17-31-12 with one game remaining. These are regular season numbers by the way. In the playoffs during that time, against Ivy teams, we are 7-9. Numbers don't lie despite what ghost of watson seems to think about me.
Now, S79, you are off the reservatiion again! And resorting to statistics to impugn the character of a good guy like Ted! Statistics! The last refuge of scoundrels!! That's low! Low!!
I don't care what the numbers say, Ted's a good guy! Ted is nice!! Why are you attacking him?!? The next time you're at Blight Center take a good look at the logo in center ice. See that "Veritas?" Translated loosely, it means entertainment. You, sir, are missing the point! Ted has brought entertain back to Harvard hockey! How can you imply that Ted has not done a good job as coach when we have Chuck-a-Puck, Dance Cam, Mother-in-Law Night, and raging hip-hop music?!? What's wrong with you!?!? For you to insist that Ted make Harvard hockey relevant, not become a laughingstock, and not besmirch the legacy of Harvard hockey, when Ted's brought us so much else....well, you're just ungrateful, S79!! Ungrateful, and insubordinate! I suggest you manage your "expectations." Get on Dance Cam and dance your cares away, you ingrate! I did this long ago and I've been a highly entertained fan ever since. But you, and you're statistics, clearly you don't appreciate Ted, and his niceness. His likeability! Where are the stats to quantify niceness? I'll find them, and then we'll see who's right! Unlike you, I'm comfortable in the basement ( my parents live upstairs ). Give me a nice coach, a Good Time Charlie.......and entertainment, and I'll gladly take the ECAC basement as well, any day!
Ted's got far too much on his plate: being a nice guy, and providing entertainment, to be bothered with building a "winning", "respected" , "relevant" program. It's malcontents like you, S79, who attack nice guys who are unreasonable. Now, S79, you march you're over to a mirror right now and repeat 2000 times: " Ted is good guy!" until your knees buckle! Get up, and repeat until your eyes cross!
Get back in line!!
