Cornell Hospitality

On the schedule it says Harvard (sucks) is playing Colgate on Sat night. That means they must be staying somewhere between Ithaca and Hamilton. And leads or suggestions? Anyone in the band in favor of a 5:45 wake-up call?

They used to stay at the Best Western University Inn out on east Hill, but I think they've learned.

You could just follow their bus after the game is over. Then there would be no guess work. That is really wierd though.

Guys, after the game is over, THE GAME IS OVER. Let's not be the assholes some think we are.

That's no fun

[Q]Let's not be the assholes some think we are.[/Q]
I have to side w/ JTW 100% on this.

There's a point where it's part of ritual and the game (aka: throwing fish). There's also a point where it approaches goonery (aka: throwing it at their heads during the national anthem). Let's keep it civil. When you leave Lynah everyone's human again remember.... otherwise we have no right to say it's just part of the game... and we truly become jerks.

See Dick.
See Dick show up outside Hahvahd's window at 5 am.
See Dick get his ass kicked by Dominic Moore.
Don't be a Dick.

i hate that tshirt

What shirt?

(Be kind, I haven't been an undergrad for 20 years.)

According to a friend who has one:

See Dick study
See Dick take his finals
See Dick fail
See Dick jump
Don't be a Dick

Each line with a related stick-figure drawing.

Dark Cornell humor.

Yep, we had the equivalent.

Scratched by stone knives on bear skins, of course...

yes, i agree, leave the hostility in the barn. These guys have enough on their plate with hockey and classes let alone someone making them lose sleep! If I was Moore, I would beat somebody if they woke me up too!

When I was a student it was

See Dick drink.
See Dick drive.
See Dick die.
Don't be a Dick.

Which was more generically appropriate and concise.

Have we even considered the possibility that Robb '03 was joking? After all, it doesn't really make sense to disturb their sleep after they play us (it only helps Colgate).

Despite the fact that ideas like this are often discussed, it seems to me that they are rarely executed. After all, that $@#& steam whistle in Cheel is still in working order (as far as I know).

So I guess that means somehow giving them the 5AM wakeup calls before they even leave Cambridge Friday morning is also out of the question? Just kidding, all.

Well, it might not be as bad as sending e-mails to the Princeton squad to "thank them for subscribing to e-lynah" before the '01 ecac first round.

::cough:: ::cough:: not that I would know anything about this, of course.....

Based on what I know they'll likely already be in Ithaca come Friday morning. Still - at that pt in time they should be left alone - not that the thought hasn't crossed anyone's mind in the past. Typically ECAC teams (and most others I think) don't travel on game day. Coaches want to prevent cramped legs and lost sleep due to travel, etc. on game day.

Yeah, I should have figured something like that. Still, you got what I meant.

The easiest way for me to see this is that if the team can shake hands at the end of the game, and start thinking about the next game, then we ought to be able to as well. So forget any nonsense, as others have said, and enjoy the win, while saying good-bye to HA+RVA+(D). After all they never get a D.

Does anyone at Cornell even get D's anymore?

In engineering, at least, yes

Though not particularly often.

My transcript has 1 D , 5 B's and 11 A's. SH_T happens, and they give D's.

I'm glad everyone now understands that my suggestion was only a joke. I'm from Chicago and when the Bulls and Jazz were playing, some Jazz fans gave a similar wake-up outside the hotel in Utah. But this should be a good contest and they'll probably need hot-tubs to soak after we administer a beating. Secondly, Moore is from a wealthy toronto suburb, maybe a tough guy on the ice but a suburb kid all the way. We'll see what happens when Douggie draws a bead on him.

Believe it or not, they give D's in Arts classes too. Even F's. They go to the same people who get D's and F's in Engineering (the absent and the unlucky).

I tried to give an F to a member of the Stanford gymnastics team once, but that's another story. And Bonni "taught" Joey Harrington a few years ago in her US history survey. Suffice to say he is not the, uh, tightest spiral.

I win - 3 D's and an F even. (The F was in grad school no less.)

To be fair, 2 of the D were in Honors Organic Chem and Analytical Chem my first semester at Cornell when my insane roommate hated me and my girlfriend had just dumped me. The third D came when I missed my final in physics and got 0 points. The F came when I got really sick while taking Scanning Electron Microscopy at the Vet School and I took an incomplete instead of just dropping it. I then got really sick *again* and wasn't able to meet the extension deadline so the prof gave me an F.

So yes, they still give D's and F's at Cornell. And yes, I do have an excuse for everything.

Well, I still have the end of this semester and all of next semester to win this competition, although if I do, I'll have a few more semesters to think about why I did such a thing.

D in second semester physics. I have never been so happy to see a D in my life. Physics is EVIL

If anyone knows somebody that studies chaos theory, may I suggest eLF thread topics? How giving Hahvahd (sucks) a wakeup call could turn into a discussion on our less than stellar academic performances is truly amazing .

It just proves how overcompetitive cornellians are. Adam threw down the gauntlet, thus forcing me to prove that I could slack better than him....

Capt. Procrastinator exits stage left...

They give Ds in the hotel school....but, no 'twas not I.

No surprise about Joey Harrington, but hey, I'd trade transcripts straight up with him if we could also trade salaries...

As long as you didn't have to trade brains.

They most definitely give Ds and Fs in Cornell. My two freshmen year best friends had a combined average of 0.9 GPA.

I had to find all new friends the second year since they were not invited back.

I know a guy that was kicked out of Cornell for a semester after his first semester here, because he literally had a 0.0 GPA. Naturally, this was all caused by the fact that he spent all of his time in Balch. You do the math.

Dude, I spent two and a half years in Balch, and the square root of my GPA was less than half my GPA.

That's called the "square root club": when the square root of your GPA is larger than your GPA. (A friend of mine did it at Clarkson.)

Over a 4.0. That must have been nice.

Yeah, well it doomed me to spending the rest of my life in college. (Now back to writing tomorrow's lecture notes.)

I did that one semester. A few years later, and employed, I don't mind being able to say it either.

John, are you freakin' high?!

He gets a few Ds and an F and he thinks he's gotten bad grades. These kids, I tellya...!!

Five Fs. Count 'em. Five.

Beeeej

P.S. They damn well better not create a bottleneck getting into the game tomorrow, 'cause I think I might be pulling up at 6:52 and making a dash for it. Damn Contracts class...! Teets and Dave, keep that door shut as long as you can! ;-{)}
