In Mr. Ypsi's defense, that story wasn't on the front page at the point he posted that question. I posted the poll as soon as it was available to get it out before 5 ET and then went back and wrote a story around it that evening.

Way to cover the Ypster's butt Pat, but truth be told he probably wouldn't have read the story anyways! ;D Although he does have more time on his hands since you killed off the political board. Good move, the old guy probably gets more rest now. :D

Who you callin' old guy, Jerry?! :P

Nope, no more rest.  Just more time to rag on the really old guys. ;D

Wash U might face #8 Illinois Wesleyan in the 2nd round of their Lopata Classic on Dec 1 (if IWU beats Tufts and Wash U beats Wilmington).

Thanks for compiling that list by the way!

Great list - thanks for compiling it!!!

One minor adjustment:  The 12/22   (7) Hope @ (8) Illinois Wesleyan  should be a v not an @.  This is actually being played at a neutral site (Orlando Florida)

Well if we are sticking to that detail... the Transylvania/RMC and RMC/St. Mary's games are on neutral floors as well.

You would only be a year early  :)  Hope & IWU supposed to start a home - home series in the 13-14 season - and I believe IWU is at home the first year

Number #10 Cabrini might face #2 VA Wesleyan on 11/17 if both win in their first games of the VW tourney.

Well if we are talking about top 25 vs top 25 games, there is another matchup looming out there

11-5   (16) Transylvania vs (3) Kentucky
Its a great day to be a Dutchman!

I'm hoping to see Cabrini and VWC when they play nearby this year (I'm about 30 minutes from both Wesley and Washington College).

I've seen Cabrini in person the previous two years, so if nothing else I can compare them to previous incarnations.

Too bad that only counts for one team... or maybe that is a good thing :)
