In reply to: thx, RPI, Harvard, Dartmouth & Princeton 's message, "whoa is Holy Cross, big bad Colgate did you in" on 11:06:58 07/23/04 Fri

Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton and RPI must not care about their athletic programs as much as Colgate or Brown.

Again, loyalty? How loyal has HC's committment to the PL been? Half ass in everything but basketball. You cry that the competition in the PL is not good enough, yet ask us to water the competition down in the ECAC?

Get your athletic priorities straight and apply to the ECAC again when you're serious.

you're telling me princeton doesn't care about it's athletics (because they voted for us - interesting logic by the way) but colgate does?!?

how many NCAA basketball tournaments has colgate been to? how many lacrosse final 4's? princeton has a much more prestigious athletic program than colgate. they were ranked in the top 10 in men's basketball in the late 90's and are a lacrosse institution.

only an absolute imbecile would argue that colgate has a better, more respected nationwide athletic program than princeton. please, i know it wasn't the colgate that left us hanging and obviously don't blame you, but your logic here about princeton not caring about athletics is faulty at best.

"Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton and RPI must not care about their athletic programs as much as Colgate or Brown"

said no such thing? that's a direct quote there genius. there's no two ways about it, to claim that colgate cares more about their athletic program as a whole than princeton is simply misguided. to defend that remark is straight up idiotic.

First off, my response was very tounge in cheek. My tone was missed, I apologize. The Ivy's all have great athletic programs.

That said, Princeton hockey has not been a great program as of late. Basketball is much more of a priority. I don't think they put as much of an athletic priority on their hockey as they do their basketball, lacrosse or football.

Therein lies my logic - they voted for you for the ECAC because they care more about the academic profile of the ECAC than the athletic competitiveness. Just my tainted opinion formed from these unwarranted HC backlashings.

As for the other "yes" votes, Harvard seems obvious as the in state rival (Yale did the same in voting for Q), Dartmouth... who knows? I wasn't there. RPI? Maybe they would prefer a nonscholarship school in the ECAC and Q is more of a threat to them? Speculation all indeed.

But again, the point I'm making is don't fault Colgate for trying to maintain or increase the athletic competitiveness of the ECAC when that's all HC would do if the shoe was on the other foot for basketball. If HC chose to be competitive, I have no doubt they'd be in the ECAC.
