Cornell 4 Clarkson 2

Cornell going on the PP.

Phantom even-up call.

Come on Red!!!

Chris Abbott!

Even up call. Damn.

Abbott shrugs off the phantom call and gives us the lead!!!

Edit: Chris

Abbotts on a 4x4 are just wonderful.

Slashing on Clarkson.

Is it 4x4 again now?

Phantom call??

Abbotts on a 4x4 are just wonderful.

Definitely, they got the speed and coordination we need in a situation like that.

Tubas!

Tubas!

Shots 7-1 Cornell this period.

The interference on Pokulok that brought it down to 4x4 in the first place.

Moulson!!

Piling it on.

Clarkson goalie = n00b

Yeah Bâby! 4-2 !!!

3 12:16 Cor pp Moulson 13 (Scott 14, Bitz 11)

Oh, and the shots are now... 8-1.

Schafer needs to show the guys the film of both third periods, saying, "see what happens when you finish your checks? See?!?"

6:15 left. Cornell back on the PP!

Giveaway in front leads to Cornell taking the even-up penalty. Probably a good one to take.

Fans are awesome tonight! Even though last night was big game, can hear Gary Glitter a capella and all the chants much better tonight.

Other announcer keeps saying how Clarkson has no legs left.

'gate up still, 13ish left.

B-U-T-full glove save my McKee on a 3 on 1.

Huge save McKee.

Not sure. Colgate is a borderline TUC. If they stay a TUC, we have the potential to get two more TUC wins.

Been there; done that; never again. Took days to learn we won the 1980 ECACs.

Whoever is in the booth, he scored for the Washington Generals.

Hot Abbott on Abbott action...

Sligtly off the subject, but is this projected win going to give us another microscpic elevation in the PWR

Jason was advertising upcoming Globetrotters game at Newman, and other announcer said he played one game for Generals against Globetrotters when was working at Massachusetts radio station. Said made one free throw. Missed 2nd because was pantsed.

Assuming Clarkson stays above .500 RPI, should give us a TUC, but our RPI is too low for that to give us more than a couple flips, at the verrry most.

1:22 left

Colgate wins in overtime 4-3

Guess I'm being naive, but if we didn't move much by beating SLU, when is it posible to get up in the PWR? retty good question from a part Buffalo

Colgate/SLU in OT

Holy Cross beat Dartmouth.

And that's a final.

I thought George Roll was supposed to change the Clarkson attitude? It looked like the same chippy and cheap team out there to me...

I awaays appreciate your cogent comments AL; as mature fans hopefully we have a different perent perspective although considered rational!

OK, I'll be quiet. First just let me go shoot some pucks at the opposing goalie well after the final whistle. Or maybe on my way down the ice I'll flop around and try to draw a penalty or two.

Look, let's all relax. Cornell and Clarkson are both great programs with winning traditions who play hard. Things get heated when they play each other; it just happens. Nobody got hurt, nobody got DQed, and we'll do it again in Potsdam in a few weeks.

Hey, between DirecTV and high-speed internet, it's a lot better now.

I thought Clarkson looked a lot cleaner than last year and there seemed to be less flagrant diving which was a nice change. Even if there was a late shot it hardly would make the game a dirty one.

On a somewhat different topic did anyone think that they were watching a different team this weekend? They were flying. Great hockey. Great win.

He's just upset about their new jerseys.

I guess you'd be an expert on that having watched a few of Schafer's teams in earlier years.

Weren't the penalties 15-14 tonight with both head coaches upset with somne of the calls that were made...and not made?

And... thread closed.

Actually, they aren't "new" jerseys at all. They are throwbacks from many decades ago, I don't recall the exact year but note that the program is 83 years old.

"Goofy"? I think the logo is close to what's called "Art Deco" style so maybe it dates back to the 20s and 30s.

"Goofy"? You mean like the bear you guys (mostly) didn't like? THAT was goofy...

I like art deco. It aint art deco. It's goofy.

Well, some throwbacks should just be thrown back. (Remember the mustard monstrosities Canada wore at the last World Cup?)

"Goofy"? You mean like the bear you guys (mostly) didn't like? THAT was goofy...

We never put that bear on our hockey jerseys. (It's bad enough the women's team started wearing those awful Big Red Wings sweaters PSP was selling.)

Bob Ahlfeld said the jerseys were based on those from the 20's.

KeithK
Bob Ahlfeld said the jerseys were based on those from the 20's.

Someone on the Round Table referred to them as "third jerseys."

Yes, third jerseys that will be auctioned at the end of the season. So really no different in principle than the alternate jerseys that we wore not too long ago, except that Clarkson has worn these more than once.

Actually, one of the players, Kolu, designed it to replicate the 1928 jersey. It will be auctioned off after the Cornell game in Potsdam.

Drew

That's pretty cool. Any known reason why he chose 1928?

yes, ergo my reference to "Art Deco" style which is in sync with someone else's reference to the Chrysler logo.

And, a bit OT...what better example of Art Deco is there than the Chrysler Building in NYC?

I didn't think that Clarkson's third jerseys were bad at all -- especially when you consider how awful some of their other recent kits have been (like all variations with yellow as the primary color).

What makes the Clarkson uniform situation so tragic isn't the lameness of any individual version. It's the fact that they keep changing. How can a program with such a fantastic tradition -- and with such an awareness of that tradition -- be so hung up on trying to chase the latest embarrassing hockey fashion trend or institutional re-branding initiative? It doesn't bother me when UNO or Wayne State hauls out a trendoid new kit every third year -- they don't have a tradition to violate. But Clarkson shouldn't be doing that. To me, the sweater with the Rangers/Wisconsin/NMU-style diagonally lettered name will always be the Clarkson look.

RichS
And, a bit OT...what better example of Art Deco is there than the Chrysler Building in NYC?

The Chyrsler spire is classic art deco. I guess the wingy-thing logo is, too -- it's from 1924. But I still think the Clarkson wingy thing is goofy.

The mid'80s home Clarkson jersey and the home UVM jersey of the same period are my favorite hockey jerseys of all time.

The entire Chrysler Bldg...interior and exterior is quintessential art deco just to clarify but certainly the spire and gargoyles are the most visible pieces.

Referring to the Clarkson mid 80s jersey...is that the one with the script "Clarkson" across the chest?

I was "raised" on the block letter version of the early 70s (and I think they were used for all 4 of my undergrad years) and will always like that but most of the others since have been okay too. Notable exception was the Dallas Stars version of about 5 years ago which had the mustard rather than gold look.

When I asked Coach Morris about it, he acknowledged that "they didn't come out exactly like we expected." lol...Yeah they were pretty awful.

By the way, it's "gold", as in "Golden Knights" not yellow. If you check the color charts, I believe the manufacturers indicate that. That's what I was told anyhow.

You are 100% correct. You have no idea how infuriating it is to a fan. Don't get me started on the yellow jerseys.

RichS
(1) Referring to the Clarkson mid 80s jersey...is that the one with the script "Clarkson" across the chest?

(2) By the way, it's "gold", as in "Golden Knights" not yellow. If you check the color charts, I believe the manufacturers indicate that. That's what I was told anyhow.

(1) Not the one I'm talking about, no. I'll try to find a picture. I alo really love the old style vertical lettering, but that was on a jersey before my time.
(2) We're talking about the junior high school locker puke mustard color from the first "third jersey," right? Other than a Western Michigan jersey of about 15 years ago, that's gotta be the ugliest color I've ever seen on... well... on anything.
(3) Cornell also had a series of horrendous jerseys in the fashion-challenged 70's. One looks like the Where's Waldo? band sweaters, and another has a script "Cornell" scrawl that looks like a pee wee team. Thankfully, the return to the classic sweaters appears to be permanent.

Well, yellow jerseys probably would show up better on a Webcast than the green that becomes black (thank you CSTV). 'course, come faceoff time, any canine in the stands would probably get excited seeing six fire hydrants. Smart dogs at Lynah sitting in the home sections would see five hydrants and a yellow sieve.

God bless Cornell's timeless jerseys. Pass that along to the football team.

Hillel,

Most if not all of the recent changing can be ascribed to the short term (Thank God!) reign of the prior AD, Sean Frazier, who despite having U Maine on his resume, had no clue about D1 hockey and even less of an idea about the terrific Clarkson tradition to which you refer.

His tenure was marked by "marketing" efforts, many of which were misguided, did little or no good, and upset many loyal alumni.

To which diagonally lettered Clarkson jersey are you referring? The script version made an rc and I don't recall any diagonal lettered version being used for a long period of time.

It's "gold" not yellow and it's used because the official colors are "green and gold."

billhoward

Got that right. There was a time when the CU football jerseys looked great. I don't know how they got "black" out of "Carnelian red and white."

[q]It's "gold" not yellow and it's used because the official colors are "green and gold."[/q]I thought it was the "Yellow Knights"? Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.

Trotsky,

(1) Vertical lettering? I don't recall one like that. Did you mean horizontal or diagonal?

(2) Yes, the mustard-colored ones were in the Dallas Stars style if I recall correctly or am I confusing it with the Michigan style script? One of those definitely had the "puke mustard" color and was almost universally disliked by Techers and Tech alumni.

(3) I had long since forgotten about the red's 70's versions that you mention until a couple of years ago when this topic came up.

As much as I like the classic stability of the uniform, imagine my "horror" when I took this HS coaching job last year and the first thing the AD shows me is the unis with the cornell scheme! Yikes, I even have to sometimes don a red turtleneck in the colder rinks we play in. I do manage to sneak it on under a Clarkson sweater...white with small green letters so NO puke yellow!

I meant "diagonal."

I believe this is the one Trotsky, Page 98 (5of 7)

I'm probably describing it poorly: It wasn't diagonal lettering, it was block letters arranged diagonally, like the Rangers, Wisconsin, and (traditional) Northern Michigan uniforms. That's what Clarkson wore in the Ceglarski period, and then again in the early-mid 1980s.

RichS

You/they can call it gold, but y'all know it ain't gold. Marketing can lie, but eyes cannot. Let me make it easy for you:

Gold: bullion, a pharoah's treasure, the Dome of the Rock, Notre Dame.

Yellow: Velveeta, pus, fluffy chicks, Clarkson.

Hey, that's great!

In the 80's section: the one in the top right box is the one I meant. The one in the central image is the classic diagonal which I never saw in person, but which, much like Wisconsin, is timeless and gorgeous.

I would have been thrilled if they stayed with the "arched" one you refer to, (which was worn during my time there).

The diagonal is classic.

And to beat Rich to the punch, we are well aware that our unis are "red" not Carnellian.

carnellian: carnellian
red: rubies, love and blood

Hillel,

It had to be early in Lenny's tenure at Tech that they wore diagonally-lettered jerseys. I'll ck the book at home toknight. In my "Lenny years" (70-72) , they wore the arched "Clarkson" design. And trust me, in those days, it was "gold" that met the eyes, not yellow. And with gold Cooper helmets too.

I can't recall the term of art for colors...is it "Pantone"...someone help me here...but I was told that the uni companies call the Tech color "gold" or whatever the industry name for it is.

That's the quasi official version I heard a number of years back from Tech.

well there you go, punching me again...ouch! lol...

So why arent they called the "big carnellian"?

However, "carnellian: carnellian"?

Didn't you learn in grade school (or at cornell?) that you can't define a word by using the word?

Hey, I couldn't resist.

A fairly young guy (mid 20's?) was wearing a jersey similar to the one in the top photo in my skate last night. It had gold, arched, block letters and gold shoulder boards. I don't know what year it was, but it looked pretty good. I haven't seen him before, and I play in net so I didn't get a chance to ask him about it.

Velveeta is orange.

I can confirm that. My wife just made grilled cheese sandwiches recently with Velveeta, not one of my favorite "foods" and it definitely looked like "Syracuse Orange" not "Clarkson Gold."

wait a sec...as a netminder, you have the perfect opportunity to meet him.

Trip him....gently of course...as he skates near the crease. That's what I often did, and am proud to say, rarely got called.

RichS

Either way, it tastes like Schenectady.

That probably wouldn't have gone over well since he was on my team. He was almost always a forward, so he never was very close anyway. If he shows up next week I will ask him. I have been wearing a mesh practice jersey since it has been pretty warm this year (even most of the indoor rinks have pretty big temperature differences), but maybe I will throw on my new Chabot jersey next time.
