Cornell breaks into the top ten of a major poll this week (#10 in the 11/18 USCHO Poll -- formerly the Troy Record poll). Yeah, I know, Michigan probably hasn't been *out* of the top ten in seven years, and for all I know the Golden Gophers haven't missed a week in my lifetime, but ya gotta start somewhere. Personally, I do not recall the Big Red being ranked among the top ten in any national poll (sorry, I'm not counting hockey-l :-) *before March*, in my time (since '81). Maybe they broke through briefly during the '91 season, but to paraphrase <insert name of politician of your choice here>, "I have no clear recollection of that incident, Senator." Lynah Faithful should also note that what appeared in the pre-season to be a "so-so" NC opponent date in late November turns out to be Miami, currently also among the USCHO top ten. The search now commences for the last time the Big Red defeated a nationally ranked NC opponent (and my guess is Game One of the '91 NCAA first round, at Michigan). Greg R. Berge Let's Go Red!
