Women's DI Rankings/Polls 2012-2013

Holy cow, the Beanpot is the Great Leveller: #10 NU prevails over #2 BC and #3 BU while #5 Harvard pulls even for a season split with #3 BU. Next step is for NU to win the HEA autobid the way they just won the Beanpot. Next step is for the three leading ECAC teams to come out with a two-way tie in the regular season, then have the ECAC #3 seed surprise by winning the autobid. Penultimate step is for the non-Minnesota teams to do likewise by achieving parity in the remaining WHCA regular season and tournament. Final step is for Mercyhurst to finish like gangbusters. Then you would have Minnesota plus two quite plausible but non-top eight autobid winners plus two top-eight HEA teams, two top-eight ECAC teams, two top-eight WCHA teams and top-eight Mercyhurst, resulting in two top-eight teams being squeezed out of the NCAAs by the autobids. The amazing thing is....it just might happen that way!

Yeah, wait until he starts posting those links to videos of eagles throwing baby mountain goats off of a cliff.

Next time you play the baby mountain goats, I'll point them out for you.

Yes, that exists....I'll look it up. In the same vain there was a Bear being attacked by an Eagle.

Edit: Here is the Eagle/Mountain Goat Clip...Fascinating....

It is touching how many are willing to go to such great ends to talk Tony off the edge of the great abyss

Were it feasible to get an eagle to swoop down and pitch him into the abyss and put him out of his misery, we might opt for that instead.

Do eagles eat gophers?

"Position on the food chain" needs to be a comparison in the Pairwise.

Based on what I see happening in the fields of the place I grew up, whatever is supposed to eat gophers isn't doing a very good job. I think everything eats gophers, but only if it can't find anything better. Eagles, Bears, Lions, Badgers -- all pretty fierce. That's what makes what Minnesota has accomplished so remarkable -- they do all of this with a ridiculous mascot that just makes people laugh.

Speaking of ridiculous mascots, have you met Louie the Laker?

Maybe we need a women's hockey mascot thread...... better yet, a poll on silliest / most impressive mascot...hmmmmm

PS, I know how to include a link, but can't figure out how to show the actual image in my post. Quick Lesson anyone?

Upload the image to imageshack and the site automatically creates links for use in forums. Copy the link. When posting hit the insert image icon in the tools atop the post in process. A box opens with an insert url option. Paste the url into the box. That's how I do it anyway. I usually preview the post to get rid of some unnecessary url text that imageshack attaches to the photo, ie: "image uploaded with imageshack" etc. etc.

Similar to Brooky, here is how I do it.

[tip of the day]
1 - Create the post including pasting the link of the image or video.
2 - Edit post and edit the AND tags.
.......If it is a still image, change the "url" to "img"
.......If it is a video clip, change the "url" to "video"

Alternative option:
1 - Create the post including pasting the link of the image of video.
2 - add the bookend tags to the link before saving. (This does not always seem to work cleanly, as you sometimes end up with double url and image tags).

Must be that highly intellectual influence. Guess us average folks have a hard time following.
