Analysis
So we are to believe that Cornell and Princeton are better hockey teams than Denver University. I am going to say Barbara Streisand. Give me a break with that ranking. I want what the posters are smoking because I want some of that. Miami loses to two of the worst teams in Division one hockey and hardly falls, The BADgers lose two games to a crappy NMU team and they still stay in the poll. Minnesota State wins a game against UNO and all they get are votes.

  1. As long as tUMD stays flying below the radar, I'm fine with the polls. We are stealth bombers. Unfortunately, we're starting to get a few blips.

    Mankato has been sucking it up lately, remember.

  2. So now you don't want any props for your team? :) :p

    I see your point though.
