Yes, great piece of work. The logic, the results, the write up, the whole bit. Should consider a way to get creative and make money off this general approach.

Well, the one project I have been working on for awhile (read: probably about 3.5 years) is writing a college hockey history book. The current iteration that I have is basically a season by season synopsis following some of the best players and teams from that season. If I ever get to the point where it is close to being a finished product, I'll release it on here for people to read, critique, and correct/add.

here's a suggestion you might consider.....during the course of your research, you also compile / annotate your sources so that you can also create an anthology or compendium or whatever you call it, think of it as a new form of "museum" where you are the curator and all our exhibits are online.

you seem like a natural. good brisk terse writing style and attention to detail.

I agree with this assessment; I think that you write extremely well, FS. I especially liked your sentence with the phrase that the Gophers' history has been "littered with success." :-)

UW may be 0-6 right now?

Really?

You're, like, unsure?

Trust me on this, Bo Peep. Your team is 0-6.

Soon to be 0-8.

Relegated to playing DIII teams behind closed doors.

And with a ranking of 59 out of 59, Wisconsin's hockey program has been the greatest fall from grace in college hockey history.

We still have more NC that you pal., You keep your **** head to head record, they don't make banners for that stat.
Besides the Goofs blow more games when it counts than my team ever did.
They don't call them Golden Chocker's for nothing.

Sure but we still did it the "right" way.

Well there you go... :) We'll see you in a couple months to sort it all out.


umm... by the way... kinda feel funny asking, but... I don't suppose in your studies you've come across any particular ceremonies or rites specific to assisting an 0-6 hockey team? Perhaps something in the Dead Sea Scrolls maybe?

Just wondering...
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

Figured I'd ask here as well.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of either all games for college hockey going back beyond 1999-2000? Or for their team?

I'd be looking for a list with:
Team, opponent, location (H/A/N), score, date, and whether it was exhibition or d1 or d2/3, etc.

Formatting isn't important as long as it's fairly consistent. I know media guides are good resources but a spreadsheet, csv, or text file would be easier to work with.

I have all that data, but it is spread out throughout several different formulas and lists. If I have time to sort through it, I'll pop it into a csv and send it your way. However, I am in the middle of finals and then move to bar prep following that, so it may take quite awhile.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

So, with the regular season and conference play in the books, what are the 10 things at stake in the NCAA Tournament from a historical perspective?

1) Change at the top?
- North Dakota may have an outside shot of supplanting Michigan with a run to a National Title. It will be close, but Michigan has the edge.

2) Can the Gophers overtake North Dakota at #2?
- Minnesota can't get to #1 this season, but they can take over the #2 spot. With a National Title, Minnesota will almost certainly overtake North Dakota for the second rung on the ladder.

3) Denver, BC, and BU in a fight for #4
- If BU wins the title, they likely take over the #4 spot.
- If Denver beats BC and advances to the Frozen 4, they likely surpass BC and take #4, so long as BU doesn't win the title.
- If BC beats Denver, they will remain ahead of the Pioneers, and with a run to the Frozen Four, likely remain at the #4 spot, assuming BU does not win the national championship.

4) Can Tech jump Maine?
- Michigan Tech stands a chance to jump up to #9 by winning the West Regional. If the Huskies make the title game, or win the national championship, they will easily pass Maine, and sit within striking distance of Michigan State heading into next season.

5) How high can Harvard go?
- The Crimson have an outside shot to pass Maine as well with a National Championship run. Depending on what Michigan Tech does, Harvard could rise as high as #9.

6) Where will Duluth end up?
- Similar to Harvard, Duluth isn't in much danger of getting caught by anyone, unless Yale runs to a national title again, and then it would be close. If Duluth wins it all, they likely jump up to #13. A run to the title game plus an early exit for Harvard likely leaves the Bulldogs at #14. Anything short of that likely keeps UMD at #16, but gaining ground on the top 15.

7) What about Yale?
- The Ivy Bulldogs could go as high as #16 with a National Title. They could drop a spot if the winner of the Miami-Providence game goes on to win it all.

8) Providence or Miami?
- The winner of this matchup likely jumps (or stays ahead of) the other in the rankings. If either program breaks through for its first national title, then they will jump up into the top 20, likely finishing at #18.

9) What about the rest of the field?
- If Quinnipiac wins the title, they will likely jump up into the top 22 or 23. With another run to the title game, the Bobcats could crack the top 25, depending on results elsewhere.
- SCSU is in a similar boat to QU With a title, they could jump up into the top 25...but anything less will keep the Huskies outside of the top 25.
- RIT will crack the top 25 with a title...and could crack the top 30 with a title appearance. A Frozen Four run will likely result in a small jump up in the rankings.

10) Who can make the biggest jump?
- Nebraska Omaha and Minnesota State likely will jump to the outskirts of the top 25, but probably fall just a tad short (Mankato has the best shot of this duo to crack the top 25). With a title game appearance, both schools likely fall just short of the top 30. That being said, they are the two schools with the potential to make the biggest jump.

Update to this thread anytime soon? (Says somebody, 15 minutes after the end of the season).

:D
