Harvard was hardly dismal in the years leading up to the '89
championship.  Remember who Wisconsin beat in the NCAA finals in Grand
Forks?  Remember Crimson visits to the Frozen Fours in Detroit and
Providence?  Remember the Hobey Baker-winning Fusco brothers?  The
makings of a championship program were building, but some people
(mainly out west) just didn't notice...
 
Having said that, I'd rather be a Bucky fan _this year_..... Puck em up!
