Sorry, Bill, gotta disagree with you here. I didn't find a whole lot to
complain about McDonough's work in this game. He let a lot go, but he
kept the game under control all the way and let the players decide the
game. His penalty calls reflected the game: RPI received about twice
as many penalties as Cornell did. I've seen a lot worse, and so have
you (take Galipeau at Yale, for example, or McConaghy vs. BC).

Actually, the only guy who was confused here was McDonough, but we got him
straightened out pretty quickly.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's sad that that's what we were reduced to this weekend--cheering for
Harvard, cheering for Dartmouth, cheering for Princeton--because our
team couldn't do what it had to do by itself.
