The Duke of Earl reminds us: >> 1. The Cats are unbeaten in their last 28 games >> (both a NMU and WCHA record) >> 2. The Cats haven't lost at home in 35 straight games Actually, I think these are significant and worth watching. I had forgotten about them. NMU is now 10 games from tying the modern NCAA unbeaten streak, held by RPI (36-0-2 from Nov 17, 1984 to Nov 16, 1985). I hope I remembered it correctly; I was managing the Engineers for the final 3 games of that streak! (Yale broke it at the Whale after an opening 12-2 trouncing of Toronto, a 4-3 OT win at St Lawrence, and a 1-1 tie at Clarkson.) The all-time record is held by Dartmouth, 46 from 12/23/41 to 1/5/46. I don't have any numbers on home unbeaten streaks. Charlie writes: > How many ties are there in these streaks? Sorry I don't have the numbers here.

I don't know, I guess they have the right to crow until someone takes that championship away! :-) But I just thought Duke was pointing out those streaks since no one else here had done so...not a problem. > Even independent Air Force is Unbeaten and Untied so far this season. A good point! Good luck on keeping it that way...sorry Coach Schafer, good luck to the Irish too. :-) - mike
