Preseason Poll: 2010-2011

Re: Preseason Poll: 2010-2011

Just because you're wearing a suit doesn't change the fact that you're serving coffee to Harvard grads.

I apologize for refusing to take a UND graduate serious when he wants to make fun of Brown academics. That's just precious. I'll leave you alone now so you can return to your giddiness over the upcoming season that will undoubtedly end with another lopsided loss to BC. Enjoy that.

ps- Yale. LOL.
 
Re: Preseason Poll: 2010-2011

Well now you have made me sad. Not being taken serious by a Brown grad, what a devastating blow to my life.
 
Re: Preseason Poll: 2010-2011

Yale may be placed on the pre-season poll due to their "dominance" last year (except against a couple teams ;) ) and not very many losses of players, but I really don't see them going that far in the upcoming season. I think by now, teams have finally figured out how to counter their speed and quick break-out game. Granted it's just pre-season speculation and we'll know in a couple months where Yale actually stands, but IMHO, I could see them on the top 10 list. I'm not familiar enough with the western teams to make a complete top 10 prediction, though.

Brown is a fake Ivy? Interesting. Here are career paths for an alum of Brown vs. one from U. of North Dakota

Brown: Graduate, attend graduate school and get a job that requires a suit.

Dakota: "Graduate", gain 50 pounds, buy an ugly green hockey jersey (that sparkles) and sit in a hockey arena for the next 40 years. Disregard the fact that you live in a nuclear wasteland and convince yourself that any success UND hockey has somehow validates your own life. With any luck you'll have extra money left over to buy chicken feed.

Did I miss anything? ;)

Stereotype much?

I'm glad I don't go around judging college hockey fanbases on their perceived notions of what graduates of said institutions are like. Just because my mommy and daddy didn't shell out 50,000 dollars or whatever for me to go to college doesn't mean I'm not educated and don't have to wear a business suit to work.

What a concept.

But hey, who am I to tell you what to think. So go ahead.

yeah, you counter their speed and quick break out game with more speed and outscoring them, like 9-7:eek: that team's offense was the best BC saw all year, IMO............they just couldn't keep pucks from going in their own net

A paper hat is not a business suit no matter what your parents try to tell you. ;)

It's pretty sweet when you question the academics of a school while misspelling institutions.

For the record, and I ask everyone to take note for the future, when my posts are misspelled or have grammar issues, it's my secretary's fault for typing it incorrectly. :D

Hacker said the high price of tuition often has little to do with teaching.

"Prices got to where they are because both universities and administrators spent like drunken sailors," Hacker said, noting Ivy League graduates often have average careers.

..............

They list 10 colleges they like, where teaching is the priority and where students get value for money. No Ivy League college makes their list.

This is interesting. Is this why Onion Man is so glib?

You'd have gotten to wear a suit if you were a pit boss.

I'm sure there are plenty of quality suits to be had at the Grand Forks Wal-Mart for those enterprising North Dakota "grads".

I would not know, as I do not shop at Wal-Mart. You evidently do and purchase several of your suits there, so I will defer to your opinion on the quality of said merchandise.

You're absolutely correct, how do you think RPI dominated them? We took their game and threw it right back in their face. How did they lose in the ECAC playoffs, though? Brown figured out how to counter that specific type of game. But you're also correct in that they had a lot of trouble keeping the puck out of the net last year... on both ends.

Nice suit. John Phillips, Wal-Mart. I have two myself. Rumor has it Arafat buys his there.
