I bet you are actually from ithaca based on your prediction. First of all you have Ithaca as 6th, which nobody is predicting. You also Have Bell going to nats, again his name has been mentioned by no one for nationals.

So your from Ithaca.

Are any "former bombers" or the like driving out from Ithaca/Cortland on Saturday?

It's a good bet since no one has them above 8th since 10/3 (when they were only 7th in the AR poll) and b/c I am definitely biased. But you'd be wrong b/c I'm not an alum or from Ith, just expecting a good race from a couple friends on the team. As I said my alma mater isn't in the race - they'll be present but are too slow to factor in. And while you pegged my bias - P.O. Box (11/11/09) & baldwin wallace (11/06/09) also picked Curt Bell.

38 and a half hours until the first gun - time to get psyched up and spiked up.

not sure how much time the Cortland guys devote to drinking, but it's definitely less than the amount of time they spend shopping for outfits to wear to awards ceremonies.

i mean, BOWTIES for shits sake! that takes some effort!

*insert lisp*

Oh Come on *flick wrist and look disgusted* I just can't resist going into every JC Pennys and Sears I see. Oh and heaven forbid I see a Marshals. I'm all over that like Cortland is on Gym class. *end lisp*

By the way this thread has gotten great. Keep up the good work. Reading this stuff is a bright spot to my boring teaching days.

With love always,

-Seamus

PS See you guys at Nats where Cortland is going to get a second ring.

PSS I couldn't Resist.

PSSS How many more laps till the meet record?

01.Geneseo

05.Fredonia

**5 teams qualify**

06.St.Lawrence

07.UR

08.Ithaca

9.Oneonta

10.Plattsburgh

It'll be a decent race, I don't see anytime competing with Geneseo for first. As long as there is enough cowbell to go around we should see a course record.

I'll have a Keg of Rootbeer near the shelter for anyone to enjoy. Cya all at the race!

Dear, Quaker Ohs!

I challenge you to a battle of wits good sir.

With Regards,

Mike

If this is Mike Woods I would be happy to oblige.

Tell me, Oh Icemaster, what have you in mind to do?

It looks like you might have hit the rootbeer a little early. I doubt that RIT and Fredonia will beat SLU...but if they did, only RIT would get selected. Fredonia, as an unranked team, will be too far behind NYU to get a bid if they beat SLU. SLU would have to have a meltdown to get beaten by one of these teams, not to mention both.

It will be interesting to see if you all come back on here and give NYU props if they beat the big 2
