Just for clarification, and since I started it all off, the intent of my post was not specifically to complain about the polls. It was to point out to everyone what a great start WMU is off to and to make everyone aware that they are a team to keep an eye on, counter to what some of the polls may be telling you. There are people who just look at the polls to find out who the teams are across the country that they should be aware of. I personally hardly ever notice the polls unless someone draws my attention to them. Also, I noticed someone commented about it as if I were a WMU fan, which of course is not the case. But that doesn't change the fact that they seem to have been underrecognized thus far. Hey, sometimes we can talk about and appreciate teams other than our own. :-) --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93 ***** Unofficial Merrimack Hockey home page located at: ***** ***** http://www.tiac.net/users/machnik/MChockey/MChockey.html ***** HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
