Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part III

Oh, so anyone with red as a primary color. Does it count crimson, garnet, or scarlet (for Harvard, Union, and SLU, respectively)?

Scarlet is valid (just like cherry). But SLU's official colors are red, white, and black. So, no to all three of those schools.

It's only schools whose official colors are just red and white.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part III

Also BU, Wisconsin, and somebody else (Miami?)

The problem with it is that it doesn't get challenged very often.

Yes, Miami, also Sacred Heart. Sean Pickett decided which teams were R&W. I disqualified myself being red-green colorblind. As burgie said, it doesn't get challenged much because besides for RPI and Cornell, each team is in a different league.

In this day and age, when you can find a sponsor for just about anything, I'm a bit surprised that no one yet has actually crafted a physical belt that travels with the holder. Maybe NBC Sports can have the NBC Sports Championship Belt^TM and televise each game at which it is at stake when their new contract kicks in....though I doubt it.

I suppose if this were European soccer or NASCAR, The Belt would have eight sponsors and look like a stretch of quilt!

That would be a bear for the television companies. Typically they determine their schedule before the season starts and notify the schools in advance. Even though they're a for-profit company, they still have to have some sort of a budget.

RPI and Cornell play BU fairly often (once a year, sometimes every other year), so it can be passed around there as well. Sacred Heart also has a shot at it, though usually can't cash in.

That would be an interesting pre-season tournament, "The Red and White Challenge"... RPI, BU, Miami, and Wisconsin. (Sorry Cornell, it'd probably be in October, and Sacred Heart, if you still had Bear Trapp you'd be fun to play...)

Someone else that understands the awesomeness of Bear Trapp.

Heck, I friended him on Facebook back in my sophomore year! (he was a frosh at the time, same year as our first-to-10-wins game) Despite we ended up losing in overtime on his GWG.

You are assuming they use their own equipment....if the colleges involved had a decent campus TV station, they could promote a national on-line only show using the campus TV feed and their own announcers. However, I was daydreaming, no need to splash cold water around

A couple of us(of which I'm the only one on the boards) do what we call a Bear Trapp, which is putting your shirt over your face and chugging you beer.
