    If I didn't care about the topic of the thread, I wouldn't post in it. And these threads turn into disasters because i am childishly attacked, and attacked, and attacked whenever I post.

    I won't be bullied off the board, and I'm going to honestly speak my mind, so either ignore me if you don't like what I have to say, or get used to threads ending up this way.

Maybe that is what bothers me: not that you are asking questions, but you are asking an unnecessary question, since all these formulas are posted with the caveat that they are just one person's opinion.
      Exactly. I know when I was coming up with my formula I tried to think of all the things that equal greatness. There were some things that one can't objectively measure, but there are other things that you can. I decided to take those things, and pop them into a formula (which is subjective in its weighting). It is far from perfect, but I think it is about the closest to that standard that it can be without bringing in unquantifiable measures.

      As for this formula and this measurement, I think it is solid, and does a good job in looking at a team's on-ice accomplishments during the era. I enjoy these sort of pursuits (and I think most of the board does as well). If you don't, I understand that, but certain posters (ahem) spend far too much time in these type of threads to argue, when the fact of the matter is these threads are mostly for fun and discussion, not trying to shove down people's throats who we think is the best.

        I think my questions were pretty fair ones. And had they been answered as nicely as KnightsOfTheRound did, instead of with personal attacks and sarcasm, this side discussion would have been done long ago.

        But keep telling yourself I'm the problem

          Perhaps you should take the advice of the sage Homer Simpson when he once said "If you're going to get mad at me every time I do something stupid, then I guess I'll just have to stop doing stupid things!" If you stopped saying stupid things people would stop calling you on them.

              No, you don't care for the topic. The topic is ranking programs by accomplishments. You said there are things that can't be quanitified and you don't understand why people try to quantify greatness. So you fundamentally disagree with the purpose of this thread.

                Yes, you constantly say stupid things. That is the epitome of the issue. You question the rankings that FS23 and HumRsky
                came up with. When people tell you to come up with your own rankings if you have a problem with the ones FS23 and HumRsky did you call them a waste of time. When people tell you to not spend time in the thread if you find the rankings to be a waste of time you act like you're the victim. You provide no constructive criticism in these threads, you just provide criticism. When you are called on this, you complain that everyone is attacking you. Well of course they are, you are calling this thread a stupid waste of time. If you can call this thread a stupid waste of time, why shouldn't others be allowed to call you stupid? How much intelligence does it show when a person calls something a waste of time but keeps talking about it?

                    I think my questions were perfectly acceptable and on topic.

                        Here's another thread that Dubbie-Wubbie has railroaded. All under the guise of having "honest questions" that he's "really interested in the responses to."

                        The thing is that theses honest questions and observations ALWAYS have the same goal in mind - to prop up Minnesota as the bestest college hockey program of all time. It's not even thinly veiled. Every thread he's in - EVERY. It's obvious and transparent and that is the reason that people call him on it.

                        As Dirty said, without fail Dubbie will play the victim at that point. "What? That's not what i was saying? I just had an honest question."

                        Thank God he's not in the cafe or we'd have to hear ad nauseum how the Replacements were the best rock band ever or how Minnesota is the best place to take a vacation etc, etc, etc.

                          Hey, I never said Minnesota was the best program in college hockey in this thread. You just did.

                          As for this thread, HumRsky I am sorry for attracting unwanted attention to this thread. My questions have been answered, so I will move on and hopefully the unwanted attention will follow.

                            It's not bad, but could be improved by awarding a point or two for national championships at the D-III and D-II levels. Surely those are worth at least as much as a D-I minor conference championship?

                              I would be hypocritical to be mad about it, I also got sucked in and participated in getting this thread off track. Apology accepted though

                              As for lower division titles, I don't begrudge any team for celebrating and being proud of those accomplishments, but I feel it's appropriate to only consider D1 accomplishments when comparing D1 programs.

                                No. No they weren't. Both FS23's thread and this one were quite clear in what they were doing. Your problem has always been that they do it at all. That has no business here.
