The 2017 Official #NotMyBracket Thread

I don't think you can say Norwich is scared of Oswego when we invited you to our tournament earlier in the year. Not our fault you couldn't hold up your end.

Except for the few, there are a lot of Norwich fans extremely unhappy about the possibility of seeing us in a quarter. And that is simply my point, Why? No reason to be upset about it. At this point of there year anyone you play can pretty much play with anyone. Had no problem possibly facing us earlier this year, then you should have no problem possibly in a week.

I'll admit we had a horrible showing, had some real issues going on the road early in the year, I also have to wonder if your special ice played into it at all. That's one thing I dislike in my research of your arena, larger sheet of ice can mess up a teams spacing, not saying that's our excuse but something to note for sure.

No problem. I don't like Oswego very much for a number of reasons, but to be national champion, you have to defeat everybody in your way, and it doesn't matter what round you face them. I'd rather play Oswego in Northfield than at a neutral site. If you win fair and square, so be it. I doubt that you will.

They are apparently upset because their team did not make the cut

From what I see, most Norwich fans on this board perhaps have a philosophical disagreement with the #1 seed not getting a bye but have accepted and understand the process that led to it. I don't see the two positions as being mutually exclusive.

Also, I think any "fear" of Oswego should be taken as a compliment by Oswego fans as opposed to b****ing by Norwich fans. Oswego has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the finest programs in the country, and they are going to be a significant obstacle to the Cadets reaching Utica.* As I said on the Norwich thread, while the ranking may be correct this year, Oswego rightfully or wrongfully gets more respect and "fear" than a Hobart or an Endicott just by virtue of being Oswego.

*With that said, while Norwich fans I think can be forgiven in overlooking Salem State, I'd be much more cautious if I was a Laker fan in overlooking Hamilton.

I'm pretty upset that you grouped Hobart with Endicott

No overlooking, just glad to have another home game to watch, wasn't for sure we'd get to continue on after last Saturday. I do think its great to play a team close to us, hopefully they'll bring some fans and we can have a good atmosphere with the students on break.

Norwich played Endicott in the season opener, and they have looked pretty good all season long. I don't think it's an insult

Wasn't my intent for it to be an insult at all.

My point was that a team like Hobart might be just as good, if not better, than Oswego. However, Oswego perhaps gets more respect out of the simple fact that they're Oswego.

Always. Except for the fact that I had to pick Oswego in the LPS contest, I'd just as soon have the Cadets playing Hamilton - not because they would be an easy opponent, but because they aren't named Oswego.

98% said in fun. It feels like almost a rivalry based on the number posters who think that the hockey sun rises and sets on Oswego (we all know that is the case with Norwich, that is where the hockey sun rises and sets). It really dates back to the days when there were Oswego posters crying gloom and doom after they won a game 3-2 instead of the 8-1 win they were expecting.
