Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Cornell at Sacred Heart weekend - 2 days ago
For those of you who like to plan ahead, tickets are on sale for the Cornell games at Sacred Heart on Jan. 10 and 11. The Saturday game is a 5 p.m. start. The tickets are reasonably priced, with center ice seats for $20 and seats behind the goal for $10. I just purchased for both games, and it looks like the Saturday tickets are selling faster than the ones for Friday. I have no idea what the deby dbilmes - Hockey
Re: NCAA NIL/Subdivision Proposal - 4 days ago
BearLover Weder dbilmes Q is probably paying most of its top players more than that. Remember that non-Americans can’t take NIL money though, so would be curious to see if that has affected their recruiting strategy at all. I would be surprised if NIL factors into Q’s recruiting strategy. Who are the rich boosters hypothetically funding this? There seems to be little NIL in college hockey at thby dbilmes - Other Sports

Re: Frozen Apple Tickets - 5 weeks ago
Q just sent out an email today with a link to buy tickets. They say prices range from $49 to $235. This article in New Haven Register has quotes from both coaches.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: ASU in January - 2 months ago
BearLover The only opponents that would sell enough tickets to make a profit are the Big 10 schools, BU, BC, maybe a few other Hockey East schools like UConn, and North Dakota. If I recall correctly, UConn did not draw a big crowd to MSG a few years ago.by dbilmes - Hockey

Re: Mike Schafer retiring 2025 - 2 months ago
marty Yes. What is this? When did this touring begin? Perhaps it was back in August of 2024. Has anyone else here ever heard of an every four year European tour allowance? NCAA teams have been allowed to go on one foreign tour every four years for a long time (they can go anywhere overseas). Last year, for example, 61 men's basketball teams went on foreign tours.

Ivy League tennis - 2 months ago
Tennis doesn't get much attention on this forum, but it's worth noting that Harvard's Cooper Williams has just transferred to Duke. Williams entered Harvard last fall as the No. 3 ranked junior player in the world, and he led Harvard to its best season ever and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament. I had just listened to him being interviewed on a tennis podcast, and he was talking abby dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Schoellkopf Field needs to be upgraded to Ivy standards. - 4 months ago
Trotsky No. We don't "need" anything in athletics. Ever. That's a cutesy luxury after you take care of academics. We need better salaries for professors and better packages to get better grad students, and we need to give Poors a free ride and charge the rich up the ass to reproduce their generational wealth in their idiot progeny. We need to burn every other building on campus tby dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 4 months ago
With all of the discussion about the starting times for the semifinals in the men's lacrosse tournament, it's interesting to note that the Ivy League women's tournament is being held today at Yale, with the first game at 4 p.m. and the second game at 6:30. Yale, the host and top seed, is playing in the late game. I'm sure that ESPN was pushing for a later start for the men's games to get more vby dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 4 months ago
Swampy Gosh, with 2 of our players drafted by the pros, it's remarkable that our record during their time here was so abysmal. Unlike basketball, football has so many players on the field at once that one or two players can't influence the outcome by themselves. Look, for example, at Barry Sanders and the Detroit Lions.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Men's Basketball 24-25 - 4 months ago
I don't know if this story has a paywall, but there was a nice article about Anthony Nimani, a guard from Connecticut who will play at Cornell next season. Nimani, a 6-foot-4 guard with a good handle, deep range and the ability to drive, adapted quickly to play in the highest division of the New England Prep School Athletic Conference. Four games in, he put up 31 points against Tabor Academy. &by dbilmes - Other Sports

In this opinion column in the BU student newspaper, the writer laments the lack of support from the student body for the school's hockey program. "The support the team receives from the student body and BU community does not meet the expectations one would expect from such a high-caliber program."by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Cornell Baseball 2024 - 4 months ago
Cornell rallied from an 8-0 deficit to win Game 1 against Yale 10-9 in 10 innings on Saturday and went on to sweep the doubleheader. Cornell is 10-4 in the Ivies, only one game behind first-place Columbia. Cornell plays Yale again today and hosts Columbia for a three-game series next weekend. No one else is over .500 in the Ivy League.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: WBB: Emily Garner - 4 months ago
billhoward Us also. Let's see the W-L stats comes spring 2025 in football, basketball, women's basketball, etcetera. To be fair, you have to give coaches more than just one year. Both basketball coaches, for example, were hired late in the recruiting/portal process. Earl, for example, didn't start having winning seasons right away.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 4 months ago
You have to give Denver credit for winning three straight 2-1 games, two in OT, especially since until the NCAAs began they hadn't won a game all season when they scored less than three goals.by dbilmes - Hockey

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 5 months ago
I wouldn't label Harvard as a bad team. Its two Ivy losses are to Yale (on the road) and Princeton. They beat Michigan in Ann Arbor and just lost a close game to Virginia on the road. I saw them play at Yale last month and they have an explosive offense. Based upon our poor defense this season, they could beat us in another high-scoring game.by dbilmes - Other Sports
