It was Bentley, and it wouldn't have put the Crusaders on the borderline. Why it would have happened was that back in that year, teams that won their conference tournament automatically became TUCs, regardless of their other qualifications (or lack thereof). Holy Cross enjoyed a clean sweep of Bentley during the AHA season; even with the conference final loss, Holy Cross would add an extra 4-1 record to its record against TUCs, which flipped a goodly number of comparisons in the final PWR into HC's favor, and not only gotten them an at-large bid, but a third seed given the right breaks in conference tournaments. It was clearly a broken result, since Bentley performed poorly enough during the regular season that they were not even close to being a TUC. It might have gone entirely unnoticed if it were a team from one of the power conferences.



The tweak they made did indeed make it impossible, or at least that specific scenario. Teams that win their league AQ are no longer automatically Teams Under Consideration, meaning that in order to get swings like Holy Cross might have had, the team must have gotten over the TUC cliff with the tournament win. It is still plausible, but the winning team must have been on the edge of the Top 25 anyway, and the losing team would already have to have been a TUC.

That's the one I was thinking of but couldn't remember.

Is anyone else shocked that from the public's knowledge no one has donated other than two other alumni? I'm sure we have all texted in to give here and there but this is ridiculous!

There hve been some good sized donations. Personlly, I don't care about who donated how much. Besides, we already know that the biggest "donation" will come from the naming rights.

I'm not sure I agree just yet...

Too small a sample, one game in conference where we couldn't find the net, another OOC where we barely got out of the building with a W (against what in my opinion is a bad team with half a coach) isn't instilling a whole bunch of confidence in me.

Don't get me wrong, I believe this team is very very good, especially if the defense can get healthy. But we need to find the goal scorers, hopefully Burt's performance was a sign of things to come.

I want to be optimistic about our team OOC, but show me a W against Union, or even a good effort, before I start pouring a glass of the kool aid.

I hedged my bet by using the word "some"

To Komey's post that is the being worked out right now from what rumors I've heard. Donations will come so no worries about that.

Fair enough. I will say I am excited to see this team play Union on Saturday.

Cino tweeted today: "Worked out today with no headaches hopefully start skating tomorrow.."

As of this quote, he likely hasn't been cleared for contact yet, so best case scenario will be next weekend; you're usually looking at a minimum of a week from being cleared for contact for practice to playing in a game.

Hopefully he doesn't have any setbacks and can get back as soon as physically possible.

It appears Canisius players are still full of sportsmanship!

Former Griffin Vinny Scarsella (vinny2389) tweeted this today: @GriffsHockey good luck tonight boys show rit why a packaging major is a farce and the school is full of losers and nerds

That should be some motivation for the Tigers!

What hockey player says "farce" when insulting another team?

Interesting that the school who is undefeated against canisius since 08-09 is the one full of losers.

Sounds like he's actually making fun of the school (all of us) more than the hockey team. What a d-bag.
Of course we all know what an academic super-power Canisius College is. So it's only natural that a graduate(?) of that glorious institution should look down at a scrub school like ours.
And since when did RIT become identified by the Packaging Science department? I know some hockey players through the years majored in it, but far more are in Business and Finance majors.

It would also appear that he either doesn't know what the Shift key on his keyboard is for or failed English class badly!

But then again, he could be an Canisius College English Major!

Whomever invented bubble wrap or the styrofoam peanuts probably doesn't think being a packaging major would suck.

But, yea - they haven't beaten RIT in 3 years, and have a dismal record overall against RIT. But, we are the losers :shrug: .

As they say at recess - "I know you are, but what am I?"

I'll put my Packaging Industry paycheck against his any day.....I have an Industrial Design degree, but I'm in the Packaging and Retail Display industry....There is more money than you could imagine to be had.

Thee is more to packaging than corrugated

I believe the Packaging science program has one of the highest of job placement at RIT....I still make fun of Packaging majors, but mostly because i deal with them on a regular basis...

Maybe the only "farce" is what they are calling the D1 hockey program over at Canisius

Playing at the Buff state rink must be awesome...

Where there are more visitor fans than home fans...

And your cheering section is called "C-Block"...

Hopefully all this sh*t talking doesn't come back to bite us...
