I think that original poster of this comment was saying this
facetiously, or at least this is how I interpreted it.  It is hard to
believe that Maine fits at all philosophically with the Ivies.  Can you
see them living with the 30-game schedule, etc?
 
On another, but related, topic.  I was in California last week, Palm
Springs to be exact.  Amazingly enough, they have the Prime network on
cable, and they showed the Maine-UNH game.  I was shocked to see Tardif
skating for Maine; having been away from Hockey-L for several days, I
did not know that he had registered for another course and now was
eligible.  My question is what is Maine's rule about adding courses
during a semester?  How many weeks into the semester was Maine at the
time that Tardif added this course?  I now realize that Tardif was
originally registered for this course and dropped it, but I would think
that there is some time after which courses cannot be added or dropped.
 
I also saw the half hour show that Prime produces on college hockey
(twice actually) and thought that it was well done, wish that I could
see it here in Washington.
