1. OK, am I missing something here, or does it seem to anybody else
that admitting the two Alaskan schools INTO DIFFERENT CONFERENCES is
splendidly, profoundly stupid? It's as if somebody said: "hmm, let's
try to figure the very most expensive way of doing this!"
 
2.  Say a college hockey player is declared (for whatever reason)
ineligible for the Fall term. The athlete becomes eligible again for
Spring. At what date can s/he once again compete: first game after end
of Fall final exams end; first game after Spring registration; first
game after fIrst day of  Spring classes?
 
3. There has thus far been a tremendous, dramatic split between the
first and second divisions in the ECAC this year. In 34 games that have
crossed between the current top six and bottom six, the bottom six have
managed a grand total of four points: RPI defeated Brown, Vermont tied
Brown, and Union tied Yale. That record, 1-31-2, bears the
responsiblity for the remarkably strong conference records of the top 6
teams, a combined 42-12-12, out of which 11 of 12 losses and 10 of 12
ties (actually reflective of 5 of 7 ties) are attributable to
head-to-head matchups between top six teams.
 
4.  One of Bill's December postings mentioned Jiri Kloboucek as
potentially joining the Big Red this semester. I haven't seen him out
there; does anybody know anything more about his status?
 
5.  The Red seem - that's seem - to have a come a long way on defense
since the break. Granted that Duffus has been magnificent during the
winning streak, he also hasn't exactly been under unremitting pressure!
Well, Colgate put nine goals in on Soucy as opposed to Cornell's one -
I think that in and of itself should be enough to nip any
overconfidence in Ithaca before this week's crucial home-and-home.
