NDviaEP Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I put no stock in polls and find them laughable. But they do provide great entertainment, so I still look at them. How about Minnesota moving up two spots despite going 7-7 in the last 14 and losing 3 of their last 4. Love it... Quote

NDviaEP Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 The only poll that matter is the one that takes place in April. yes, I agree, still funny though. Quote
HEXTALL Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 The only poll that matter is the one that takes place in April. I agree who cares about the polls...... Quote
Goon Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I agree who cares about the polls...... Polls Smolls... Quote
NDviaEP Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 yeah yeah, I know, same story, new day... happens a lot on here though... Quote
dead_rabbit Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, I know, polls schmolls. That's what teams tell themselves when they think they're not being given the recognition they deserve. Haven't looked, but I doubt that there's anyone saying polls schmolls on Notre Dame's board. Post Christmas, Conference games only, percentage of pts taken: Minnesota 18/32-56.25% St Cloud 20/32-62.5 UND 20/28-71.4% (did not dbl check my work to see if #'s are accurate, but they probably are) I really thought that UND would have gotten a vote or two in one of the polls. Who are all these people voting for Minnesota? Oh well, probably just more "coal for UND's fire." Quote
Diggler Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Since the pre-season I've said .... You've been saying that since Grandpa PCM was in diapers the first time. Quote
PCM Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 You've been saying that since Grandpa PCM was in diapers the first time. I think he pays people to start these threads just so he can keep saying it. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 You've been saying that since Grandpa PCM was in diapers the first time. Can I help that I've been right that long? I think he pays people to start these threads just so he can keep saying it. At least it's cheap because most of these threads are pretty much low-bid. Quote
NDviaEP Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 why do you all continue to post on these threads if you think they are so dumb. Some people find them entertaining and if you don't please move on. I think everyone understands that the polls aren't the end all be all, and they don't really affect anything at all, but they are purely for entertainment purposes. Everyone understands this because it gets discussed ad nauseum every time a polls thread surfaces. Personally I skip over all of the officiating threads because everything on that topic could be fixed with one word, consistency. Call everything, call nothing... just make calls consistently. This thread was made to discuss the poll and where you would place teams, not to discuss the validity of the poll. Everyone is aware they don't mean anything. Alright, NOW rant is over... Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 all polls suck, there is 1 poll that needs to be paid attention to and thats the pairwise, thats all that matters at the end....the others are useless Quote
NDviaEP Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 all polls suck, there is 1 poll that needs to be paid attention to and thats the pairwise, thats all that matters at the end....the others are useless you're really cool... oh and funny.... Quote
PCM Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 you're really cool... oh and funny.... He also happens to be correct. Quote
NDviaEP Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 He also happens to be correct. I don't disagree with him, but that's not why he said it. It was just to poke at the post I made before him... edit: I also never said they mattered, just that they were entertaining to me as well as others... Quote
farce poobah Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I have a really great idea. Let's shorten the season and get rid of all this stupid playoff stuff. Instead, let's have a great big poll, and pick two teams to play one game in early May, two months after the season is over. Winner gets to say they are national champs. I love polls. Quote

I love polls. seriously... that's brilliant, then we don't have to worry about players getting injured! Wanna make sure they stay healthy for the NHL. Also, then we only have to travel for one game, and our weekends will be freed even more to discuss polls and such. Great idea poo! Quote
The Whistler Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 This has to be the worst year for polls that I recall. Thankfully they don't matter at all. Quote

PCM Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 and thx pcm...i am right..hahahahha... There's a first time for everything. If people want to discuss the polls, that's fine. But getting bent out of shape about them is a waste of time because they really don't mean anything. They're just a reflection of a select group's opinion. My guess is that within that group, there are some people who are very well informed about college hockey from top to bottom and some who probably know little beyond what their local team is doing.

Stack Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Even now the Pairwise sucks. We could be better off in the Pairwaise if we lost to Mankato this weekend and kept them as a TUC. If we sweep Mankato they probably drop out as a TUC and our Pairwise rating drops. Now that is plain stupid! We want Krach! We want Krach! We want Krach! Quote
