Don't know if anyone saw (or cares) but Mark Morris, former coach at Clarkson, has resurfaced in the AHL no less. He is going to be named the new head coach of the Manchester (NH) Monarchs, the top affiliate of the LA Kings. After being fired for the player confrontation in 2002 he has done quite well for himself, assistant to Marc Crawford in Vancouver, head coach at the ultra elite Northwood School in Lake Placid and now head coach of an AHL team.
There is a good story on it in the sports section at http//www.unionleader.com

I wonder who he BEAT out of the job?
I guess he's looking forward to leading that CLUB.
He'll be trying to recruit more PUNCH, and a STRANGLING defense.

The two names that I had heard throughout the summer were Bruce Crowder and Robbie Ftorek. Not sure who was actually interviewed but those were the rumored front runners. Crowder was getting a lot of play because he lives in Nashua.
One other point, Ron Hextall is the Monarchs GM and his son plays for the Northwood School in Lake Placid coached by Mark Morris. Hockey really is a small fraternity.

Once again you demonstrate your knowledge of coaching.
And how exactly does a post obviously made as a jest demonstrate anything about someone's knowledge of coaching? Rich S, you're a hypocritical agitator who single-handedly diminishes the quality of this board. I went over to your sad Golden Knights Roundtable and it took me all of two minutes to see that you commit or blithely sit back while others commit the same "crimes" you feel compelled to police here. You have no credibility with me. Why you come here and behave the way you do is beyond reason.

Greg "singlehandedly" makes tasteless and inane comments about an excellent coach who has been gone from the college game for several years. Seems it would be a classy move to simply wish him well. Obviously that's beyond Trotsky.
And you guys say I have trouble letting go?
Maybe you're right. Instead of commenting on Greg's post, I guess I should suggest he expend his energy worrying if Schaefer is working on the "clutch and grab" technique he demonstrated against Mich State last year.
Why is the Roundtable "sad"? Because we don't spend time trashing opponents play and their academics as you do here?
As for your comment about me committing the same "crimes" committed here, I'm having a good laugh. Look, no smilie needed.
You must be hallucinating.

Cripes! Nice humor and it is in fine spirit of many a Lynah chant flipped towards the opposition.
However, facts is facts, Mark got the royal shaft from the (since departed) school administration. He is a good coach who IMO was the victim of a great left wing conspiracy.

Greg singlehandedly made a funny post. I'd appreciate it even if it were against Cornell because I like wordplay, much like I appreciate your response to the left wing comment, even though I'd rather not have the MSU incident referenced.
[q]And you guys say I have trouble letting go?[/q]
Yes.
[q]Maybe you're right. Instead of commenting on Greg's post, I guess I should suggest he expend his energy worrying if Schaefer is working on the "clutch and grab" technique he demonstrated against Mich State last year.[/q]
Your comments would be welcome if they didn't constantly attack members of this board.
[q]Why is the Roundtable "sad"? Because we don't spend time trashing opponents play and their academics as you do here?[/q]
There are two ways to respond to this. The first is to point out that most of the time we don't bash other schools' academics and play; you specifically draw that down upon Clarkson. Most of the discussion on this board centers on critical appraisal of Cornell, the teams it's playing, the professional successes of former players, etc. Yes, we see Cornell through Carnellian-colored glasses, but we try to be honest.
The second way is to point out this exchange on the Roundtable, which "trashes opponents...academics" in a thread on selectivity rankings:
petal
I have to laugh. Cornell should be near the bottom. Seriously. This whole ranking thing is a joke.Stemmer (aka RichS)
I have to agree with Petal.

I've got an idea. If you don't want to hear bad things about Clarkson, go to a fucking Clarkson board instead of spending all your time bitching incessantly here. You guys don't spend your time bashing other teams? Great, good for you, I could care less. Know why? Because I don't care what happens on other teams' boards. Know why? Because it's not my team. Therefore I shouldn't spend time getting sand in my vagina about comments on other boards that hurt my fragile little feelings.

I wouldn't call it a hard-on. For my semi-generation of Faithful that was our trial by fire, our darkest hour, so to have kept up the spirit and intensity and that point in time is a badge of honor (as much as being a fan of a sporting event can be a badge of honor, so as to not infringe on those with true badges of honor) and I wear it proudly. You don't see the British renaming Trafalgar square just because the Napoleanic Wars ended near two centuries ago.
As for him giving me anything, nope, and if he tried it probly would have ended in another battery suit for him.

Do you mean that in the same way that "fat" is sarcastic, "could" is said in an ironic or sarcastic way? I've never heard someone say "I could care less" in that way. I think the "n't" just fell off somewhere along the line and people repeat the expression without being aware, or caring, that they're actually contradicting themselves.

I don't disagree - but then I also don't think that most people who say "fat chance" realize that they are riffing on "slim chance" when they say it. I think the phrases are used in the same way - which is to say that the current phrase has the irony embedded in it even if the speaker isn't being consciously ironic.TrotskyugarteBah.

Zach Schwann was a Right Winger...not a democrate! For what its worth...I grew up in the Ithaca area and my dad always took me to the Big Red games. I vividly remember Dryden in net and the French Connection on the lacrosse field. I first heard about Clarkson that way. I ended up sorting out my engineering college choices with Clarkson first followed by Cornell and then U of R. I was very happy with the Clarkson education and it has served me very well over the years landing me as an executive with CSC after stints at IBM (8yrs), Lockheed (5yrs) and 6 yrs going the small business route. I'm sure a Cornell education would have served me equally as well...or better. Who knows? I am perplexed how much ice time you all give Clarkson on a Cornell hockey forum. Obviously, there is respect both ways otherwise you just wouldn't care enough to comment. My parents still live in the Ithaca area and I annually make a 6 hr journey to take my dad to the CU-CCT game at Lynah. This coming year my older son will join us too. The tradition continues...which is the best thing about college sports and a good rivalry like this one makes it all the better.

In time you'll retract the second half of the second sentence (what gets comment around here is less a function of level of respect than poster boredom -- whether that's a useful expenditure of keystrokes is another question), but the essence of your comment is right on: Clarkson is one of the most respected of Cornell's rivals precisely because they have been so strong an opponent, and the chain-yanking directed towards the team, the school, and the vast majority of Clarkson posters is good-natured and tongue-firmly-in-cheek.Jetsailor

martyRatushnyFanPunctuation goes inside the quotes, junior. Read the book!French Rage
Oops, you're right. Damn you, "Elements of Style"!
OK, if this is really in the book, can you point me to the page? Doesn't seem to make sense if Strunk and White didn't title it with the damn "!" .
The most relevant section that I can find is on page 36 of my copy, in Chapter III, "A few Matters of Form:"
[q]When a quotation is followed by an attributive phrase, the comma is enclosed within the quotation marks.
"I can't attend," she said.
Typographical usage dictates that the comma be inside the marks, though logically it often seems not to belong there.[/q]
Another approach would be to make use of the Typographical capabilities offered here beyond those of a simple typewriter: Damn you, Elements of Style!

Speaking of OT - hey Rich, which team do you coach at the Ice Vault? My kid is on the Mahwah Mites (just moved to Sportorama this season, which stinks) but I'm thinking about putting him on the Bandits.
