There is audio tonight but the links sometimes don't go active until just before game time. Edit: the link is up, as is one for Saturday's audio coverage.by dag14 - Hockey

I was surprised to see Luke Hagy missing from the list but perhaps his most outstanding games were outside the Ivies.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Sustainable library? - 11 years ago
This is standard practice in Mann Library; it happens once or twice a year. Cornell has classes in turf management and, if not entire sod farms, at east its own sod production so its not like the libraries are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to be a little imaginative. And as far as I know, no one waters the grass....it lasts through finals and then disappears.by dag14 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: The swim test - 11 years ago
Transfer students are exempt from the Phys Ed requirement and swim test is part of the PE requirement so I assume that is the rationale. I agree it is somewhat illogical if one is going to impose the requirement on first-year matriculants. But it also doesn't apply to grad students. Or faculty and staff, for that matter.by dag14 - John Spencer Is Dead

Not a requirement for transfer students.by dag14 - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: General Women's Thread - 11 years ago
It took OT but the women beat Dartmouth 2-1. Woods and Saulnier had the goals. I had the game up on my computer but couldn't really concentrate due to a family dinner so have no comments about the game or quality of play.by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Men's soccer off to 8-0 start - 11 years ago
Apparently Ivy League soccer is highly regarded so hosting is not as unusual as it might otherwise seem to those on this forum who were in pre-school when Cornell last went to the tournament. I on the otherhand remember the last outright Ivy Championship and the guys who played on that team....by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Men's soccer off to 8-0 start - 11 years ago
Men's soccer beats Columbia 1-0 to win the Ivy outright for the first time since 1977. Congratulations are definitely in order!by dag14 - Other Sports

You wouldn't find it offensive that someone you don't know contacts you by email asking you to dish dirt on one of your colleagues? Kudo to Coach for saying what he thinks.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Gate @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Those of you criticizing officials for losing sight of the puck. prematurely blowing the whistle, deferring to the official in the offensive end, etc., etc,, etc., have obviously never officiated a hockey game. Let alone a Division I level hockey game. It is frickin' impossible to get it perfect everytime. How does one anticipate where the puck will end up with reference to where the bodies arby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Gate @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Broadcast comment on the waved-off goal was that whistle blew so play should have stopped even though puck was still in play so no goalby dag14 - Hockey
Women -- Princeton & Quinnipiac - 11 years ago
The women roll over Princeton on Friday 4-0 and then squeak by Quinnipiac 4-3 on Saturday. Lauren Slebodnick left the game Friday, presumably with an injury and was replaced by Moak who played well, although neither goalie was particularly challenged. Moak started Saturday. Cornell was up 2-0 at the end of the first period and Quinn scored two pretty quickly in the second to tie. Moak left atby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Gate - 11 years ago
Kirill is a junior not a senior and there are 6 other defensemen on the roster all of whom may be viewed as being equially talented by the coaching staff. We have healthy scratches every Friday at forward, and many of those guys play on Saturday of the same weekend. Why can't this also be the case with a defenseman? He could also be sick or injured.

No off ice issues just lots of talent on the team.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Red Cast Really Sucks - 11 years ago
I paid %5.95 to watch/listen to the Colgate b'cast and enjoyed it very much. Loved the comments about the "packed Starr Rink." Was it really packed? It is hard to tell watching the video stream but I would have sworn there were lots of empty seats.by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Cornell 2, CC 0 (game 1 Friday) - 11 years ago
Jason Vogel was not an engineer; I didn't think Ryan Hughes was either but since I was a student during the Plestiocene my memory isn't perfect.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell women 5, BU 2 - 11 years ago
I didn't see the end of the game but it was 1-1 when BU scored with 19 seconds left in the second period. We had the puck on offense, took a shot, BU controlled the rebound and went down the ice 3 on 1 to score. That 3 on 1 resulted from a lack of hustle....had Cornell played all 20 min of that period, we likely would have gone into the lockerroom tied. The BU goaltender was outstanding todayby dag14 - Hockey
Cornell women 5, BU 2 - 11 years ago
After a slow start the women's hockey team started to click in the second period and beat BU 5-2 with an ENG. We had 2 short-handed goals to tie at 2-2 and then take the lead for good. I was switching between the men and women so didn't catch those goals to know whether we created the opportunities or just got lucky to get an odd-man rush.by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Red Cast Really Sucks - 11 years ago
I had problems watching soccer at Colgate. No video until about 20 min into the game after we had scored a goal. Must be an upstate NY sidearm phenomenon.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women's Preseason - 11 years ago
Women lose to Montreal 1-3. No exaggeration: half the visitor's roster listed "Team Canada" as last team played for. Both goal tenders who played were on the Olympic team. And this wasn't a team of 35-year-old Olympians, either. They were unbelieveable athletes and a pleasure to watch. That being said, given that our coaches have been on the ice for a week and this was the team'by dag14 - Hockey

Men's soccer tops Colgate 3-1 to go to 11-0-0. We were clearly the better team but it was a sloppy effort.by dag14 - Other Sports
