[David Collinge]

It's possible. But only a few of the years of polls are in a database I can search.

And unfortunately my databases died along with my old laptop.

I started using Dropbox a couple years back for (partially) this reason. All of my D3 spreadsheets (of which there are many) are now backed up to the proverbial cloud. (And accessible on any computer.)

Well you're not an old fart who can barely figure out how to use his phone. I actually still have the old dead laptop (I think) and someone smarter and younger than me could probably extract the databases (disclaimer: really just Excel workbooks) from them, but it hardly seems worth the aggravation since I hadn't updated them for a couple of years when the death occurred a couple of years ago. And anyway all of the data is available here on the site (isn't it?).

Plus I thought I sent them to Pat when I quit keeping track of this stuff, but maybe not. Or maybe if I did, he saw that they were just big workbooks and rolled his eyes while deleting them.

No no, definitely not, but I have also had hardware losses in the past couple years.

I don't know about the current season but Hampden-Sydney and Hardin-Simmons have definitely done it, along with schools not created from hyphenating words beginning with H and words beginning with S. (Although admittedly, usually I hide them from our site. I just didn't catch this one until you mentioned it.)

Hope has been doing it on their schedules for as long as I can remember.

[Greek Tragedy]

And #2 Whitewater escapes by 1. Apparently Eau Claire took the lead with 3 seconds to go. On the ensuing inbounds, the Blugolds inexplicably let Whitewater roll the ball to midcourt before Quardell Young scooped it up and drove the lane for the winning layup with 1 second left.

That is just plain stupid. They deserve to lose if that's what happened.

[nescac1]

Well, to Eau Claire's credit, there is no precedent for Quardell Young getting the ball near mid-court and then driving for a winning layup in a last-second pressure situation.  Oh yeah, never mind ... .
