Well, you don't have to pander to us by calling us "friends" unless you
mean it. Anyways, Clarkson has won 2 ECAC TOURNAMENT titles. They have
won several (6 or 7?) ECAC Regular Season titles. I guess I have the
(as I call it) "Little brother syndrome" concerning the hockey team
here. I will curse them if they screw up , but I will defend them if
an outsider does. I think many fans are like that.
 
Sorry if this is considered flamage,
