Question, were you a tap dance major at Bates?!! Haha!!choochooCharlie wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 9:17 pm I read it once that success is a spectrum, not some binary construct.
If Tufts was smoking teams last year and never dropped a reg season game, then their record to date is down from that. They were in the NC last year. If they don’t make that, then their years end results are down as well.
If Bowdoin’s record isn’t what it was last year, their record is down
If Amherst was better last year than they were this year, they’re down.
I mean, with out going piece by piece through the whole conference to simplify it for those struggling to grasp, I would say Hamilton and Wesleyan are up, and quite literally everyone else is down, relative to last years results or records. It is what it is. They’ve made the most of the #downyear, and perhaps they can swing this into an up year in 2025. But RELATIVE to their previous years’ strength, as a conference they’re down by their standards. (Take the positive spin that their history is so strong that this is a #downyear, but understand that this. is. a. down. year. Hard stop)
Blah, blah, blah….you’re a Tufts and Midd hater at the very least. And you’re very negative. Now you’ve turned into a philosopher. Both Tufts and Midd have had great seasons, neither of which are done yet. Yet, you’ve been bad mouthing and bashing them all year. Time for you to admit you’ve been wrong. And, put a sock in it!!
