G.R. thinks this is un-American or un-Colgate! -- Self-centered, 11/28/15 5:34:26am Sat
There are so many objectives of the athletic progrogram that GR just can't fathom simply because they fall outside of providing entertainment for him in Hammytown !

Sounds like an amazing experience for players and fans and have no regrets. Looks like we'll be bringing up the rear in the ECAC and that the season is all but over until tournament time. Would think we would have a player glued to Lappin; when he gets points, Brown impresses. Unfortunate senior seasons for the Spinks and for Finn with no silver lining. And just 14 shots? Am not holding out any hope in the consy game to a team we have lost to already this season that is now 1-11.
We had several good top-4 seasons with no hardware to show for it. Guess now it's RPIs turn to rise and see Qpac finally get that elusive ECAC Title?

How much have all the players who left early s____d over this team and DV? Or what part of this disappointing year is not having recruited enough players, resulting in now being short-handed? Always a CU hockey fan, but would appreciate the opinions of all those more knowledgeable than yours truly on what happened...

Let's face it (and disrespect to the underclass men we have; they're trying)...we've had three sub par recruiting years in a row and perhaps TOO much focus on a new rink. If you don't get better each year in the ECAC you fall back. And next year could be really ugly. Better times lie ahead but not soon. I just hope we can avoid 12th place in '15-'16

I meant NO disrespect (see above). I do remain surprised at the magnitude of the fall (so far). I had picked us to finish 8th this year

Coat, you said you would not post any negative thpughts during T'giving. It's still T'giving weekend, so you went back on your word....LOL. I'm with you....better times must be in the pipeline, one would hope...or else '65 Arena is going to be anticlimatic.

So who does one blame for a crummy team.

"Belfast is in Northern Ireland, not Ireland..."
Yes and Northern Ireland is in Ireland. Ireland is an island that is comprised of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Captain Kirk is never wrong.
