Re: ECAC Early and Grad Departures 2024 - 22 days ago
ugarte Give My Regards There is also something called a "medical redshirt" ... Ivies don't have the traditional redshirt, but the medical redshirt can be granted. Years ago, Vinnie Auger missed almost an entire season with the Big Red due to a back injury, but was permitted to play a season beyond what would have been considered his senior year. (And then he promptly got injured again,by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 4 weeks ago
An email from Coach: We wanted to make you aware that due to the impending weather tomorrow morning, we will be pushing our start time against Yale back to 2pm on Saturday, 3/23/24. We hope to see many of you out there braving the conditions!by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 4 weeks ago
I have never wrestled so I can only guess about what happened at the end of Foca's match. I felt like he thought the match was over rather than not wrestling to the end, just the way he moved. Was someone counting down the final seconds maybe a little too fast? Did he misread the clock if he could see it? It all just seemed very strange to me.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 5 weeks ago
ACM adamw Just going to chime in with my usual old man two cents - but I agree with just about everything written here - especially Trotsky's request to bring back the striptease. What a loss. And when did the post-quarters flood the ice tradition end? Covid? That's a massive shame. When the high glass was installed, making it impossible to go on the ice by climbing over the glass.

Re: MLAX: Cornell vs Penn State 3/9/24 - 6 weeks ago
Just looking at the stats, PSU has 6 saves and we have 1....Hence the 1-8 score. I have been watching wrestling so not following the game.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
I just checked the stats. We are winning 60% of the faceoffs but that is the only stat we are winning. They are outshooting us more than 2 to 1, including the shots on goal.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 6 weeks ago
We were the only team to go 10-0, which was nice. Fewer bonus points than I would have liked but maybe some guys are saving their energy for when it matters. One of the nice things about going 10-0 is that we can use the break to watch women's hockey.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
Down 0-1 after one period. Colgate got a PPG late in the period. Colgate has more depth than we do but the women are playing hard and keeping up. Unlike the Denver lacrosse game, these officials have no problem with body contact, especially tripping and holding. I guess the rules in playoff hockey are different....by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Wrestling 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
Flo now has a monthly option, but it is pretty expensive -- $30 I think.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Ohio State @ Cornell lax 3/2 - 7 weeks ago
The real purpose of the facility is for practices, obviously. Not only will it be more pleasant for the players, it will be safer and less costly to keep the practice facility in good shape. It is one thing to "plow" the field to remove several inches of snow before a game, it is quite another to do it a couple of times a day so two teams have a clear surface to practice effectively wby dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
The scoreboard says 1st period but it is actually the second period. We scored one in the first and one so far in the second period. Edit: scoreboard now correct.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
I think the ECAC or NCAA rule is that ice must be idle for 2 hours before the teams take the ice for warmups, etc. So moving the start later gave them a cushion in case of OT.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
Women up 2-0 over Q going into the second period. Winning but not dominating, IMO. Of course, as soon as I post, Q scores. 2-1 at 13:54by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell v Union - 7 weeks ago
marty ugarte Posting the game thread early to note that the womens' QF is pushing the start time for the Union game back to 7:30. Is there an admission fee for the women? I'm wondering if I might be able to arrive early enough to see that quarterfinal. At least for this round, women's playoff tickets are $5.00.by dag14 - Hockey

Bench cleared at the start of the 4th quarter, including freshman goalie, Matt Tully.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 8 weeks ago
Al DeFlorio mike1960 I didn't see it but it sounds like a tough loss for a lot of reasons. I fully expect our guys to pick themselves up and recommit to great lacrosse. I'm looking at the stats and one that stands out is the ground balls: 42 for Denver and 26 for Cornell. I'm curious if that stood out to people watching the game. I'm not worried about this team scoring goals. I think our dby dag14 - Other Sports

Better late than never. If only they had won in regulation or ot.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
To further bash the officiating, Michael Bozzi #5 broke his collarbone as a result of contact. No call.... I was at the game. I have never seen such bad officiating, from the perspective of calling or not calling penalties. They called the game like it was middle school lacrosse from what I could see. Has anyone ever watched a game with so many non-releasable penalties? Kirst's penalty wasby dag14 - Other Sports
Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
FYI, the general admission ticket price is $25 per person plus fees for online purchase. Not sure about DU students but the "discounted" price announced by the Cornell Club of CO was $20. I will never complain about the price of admission in Ithaca again.by dag14 - Other Sports

Women need OT to beat a very hot Brown goaltender.by dag14 - Hockey

Dunc I have to admit for a giveaway night section A is depressing (coming from student in B) Is the band there? Section A looks completely empty on the end closest to the Zamboni doorby dag14 - Hockey

And a good chicken parm sandwich. And a bagel that isn't soggy or cost $15. Rosenberg's. Not cheap but bagels equal to any I ever had in Ithaca or NYC. Can't help with the chicken parm sandwich, unfortunately.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell 3 Quinnipiac 2 (ot) - 3 months ago
As a student in the 60-70's, I didn't know enough to get season tickets. As a townie with season tickets , starting in 1976, we arrived an hour early to watch warmups. And to get the best spots on the rail because standing room in old Lynah was way better than seats in Section N!by dag14 - Hockey
