Cornell 2, Colgate 2 tie (ot)

mnagowski

That's a Cornell football fight song. The real one, not the goofy one Knowles uses.

Cornell victorious?

I think it's "Fight for Cornell."

"Make all advances strong and sure today; take all the chances fate throws in the way; fight for the glory that is earned so well; victory makes history so fight for Cornell."

Actually, it may have been a medley of Cornell songs, including the one above.

Whatever it was, they played it after every goal and every time we came out onto the ice for each period. Someone who's been to the tourney several times before said they've never had any of the appropriate songs (Davy, My Old Cornell, etc.), just this obscure one.

Long deserved the all-tourney team goalie slot. He kept 'Gate in the game in the third period.

Well, I think everyone would agree "Davy" would be the right choice. But I wouldn't say "Fight for Cornell" is any more "obscure" or any less "appropriate" than "My Old Cornell" or "Cornell Victorious" or several other traditional Cornell songs. Just because you don't know it...

And maybe Craig Brush just likes it.

From what I remember of the early years of this tournament, they used the "New Cornell Fight Song" after goals. Now if I were the arena DJ guy and got handed a CU band CD for the first tournament...that's probably what I would pick to play after goals. However, I seem to recall that JTW et al. made a stink and a legitimate attempt to let it be known that "Davy" be played.

Still wrong after all these years...9 years in, I guess it's tradition now.

It definitely wasn't up tempo enough to be TNCFS (which I believe is the one that Knowles uses?). And I think Al's right in that it was 'Fight For Cornell'.

Both 'Fight For Cornell' and 'Cornell Victorious' are great songs, and should be played more often at the games, but the 'fight' song they are not.

Edit: And yes, I realize that 'fight' is in the title of the former.

#3 should be played exactly zero or one time at a game, ideally once.

(It's #3, right? It's been a while since I had that sheet in front of me.)

I have no idea. I wasn't in the band.

Then you might not be the best person to answer the question.

Yes. It's #3 and it's nonsense that Knowles took it away, both by policy and lack of success. He's effectively killed NCFS and #3.

I didn't assume so; my question was directed at other readers of the board who were. Sorry for any confusion.

Sorry for any confusion.

No worries. I'm still confused as to what song #3 is though. Is it Cornell Victorious or the Fight for Cornell?

Tie knocks Cornell to third in pairwise. Ho hum.

Princeton's win over Mankato last night puts them atop both pairwise and KRACH.

It's not Fight for Cornell.

mnagowski, if you search through some older threads on this topic (maybe in the Other Sports forum in a football discussion), you'll find a good post (I think from RichH or Lowell '99) explaining the superstition about #3 that leads Chris and me to be so obtuse about it.

Got it. Thanks.
