Re: Hockey Advisers - 12 years ago
I voted "no". Without reading the article because I don't care. And neither does anyone else, really. PLAY BALL (or PUCK or BIRDIE or WHATEVER)!!!by cu722001 - Hockey
Re: No wonder our recruits are better - 12 years ago
ajh258 Posted by my friend on Facebook. This article offers additional insight into the recruiting process. It is a league device established to ensure transparency, but many Ivy League coaches are instructed never to discuss it publicly, which adds to the sense of mystery. ..to ensure the appearance of transparency, which is usually enough..by cu722001 - Hockey
No wonder our recruits are better - 12 years ago
"This renaissance in a league known as the Ancient Eight can be traced to something that has nothing to do with sports: new policies that have substantially enhanced financial aid for all admitted students, making it easier to recruit elite athletes.." It goes on, saying many althletes from middle class families had until recently rarely considered Ivy colleges, leaving only poorby cu722001 - Hockey
Re: ECAC Inferiority - 13 years ago
PBS had a good show about the NCAA last night. Its premise was that the NCAA's purpose is to channel the revenues generated by college sports from college atheletes to the administrators of college athletic programs and to coaches. This is so obvious it's hard to believe they felt a show was needed to expound upon it. Not only can players not be paid while they are performing, they are reqby cu722001 - Hockey
Re: ECACs TV Viewing Thread - 13 years ago
Albany, NY. TWC channels 663 and 1878(?) HD, Yale/Colgate is on right now and us at 7:30.by cu722001 - Hockey
Re: Cornell at Rensselaer - 13 years ago
Both teams staggered into Saturday night and for the first 2 periods staggered thru it. Cornell at times seemed to think the puck was a curling stone. Swipe near it but don't touch. Defensemen engaged in a hockey version of she loves me, she loves me not. Should I cover this man, should I cover that man? Then both, but especially CU, got their mojo back for the 3rd. Appert is a very emotioby cu722001 - Hockey

Penn State joins Div I Hockey, boys & girls - 13 years ago
What about CU quitting Ivy hockey/ECAC? Try to form an NY/PA league equivalent to Hockey East. Plenty of good schools comparable to us in many ways. Or just bag it and go Div III.by cu722001 - Hockey
Re: Canadiens sign Brendon Nash to 2-Year Deal - 14 years ago
Brisson is supposed to be a very good puck handler, which is what the D desperately needed against UNH. I don't see a lot of O in those four lines so the freshmen better be able to produce some. Either that or Iles better be as good as advertised, and right away.by cu722001 - Hockey
Re: UHN Pregame Thread (RIT and Denver too) - 14 years ago
Umile says UNH has a young team. They have a poor out of conference record because they've played some very tough teams, among which he did not mention Cornell. And most of those games were early when the team's youth really showed. Schaefer says UNH is strong in transition while CU is strong inside the blue lines. Should be an game of contrasts. If Scrivens stays in the trance he's been inby cu722001 - Hockey
Re: CU & ECAC Tourney on TV - 14 years ago
Albany TWC is showing Union/Quinipiac. That leaves NHL Network as the only local hope.by cu722001 - Hockey
Re: Opinion Piece: A Little Perspective - 14 years ago
Michigan, Minnesota, BU, even BC are relatively mediocre this year. In basketball, so are North Carolina, Memphis State and many others. What of it? That this year's team only finished second doesn't detract in the least from Cornell's enduring success under Coach Shaefer. CU fans have high standards for sure. For some they border on unreasonable. Personally, I find it amazing that CU canby cu722001 - Hockey
Re: Don't be packin' at the ECACs - 14 years ago
TimV cu722001 Don't we have a couple of games before Albany? This sounds uncomfortably like the chatter on the NY Giants board before they played the Saints. "What happens (not if we beat them, or lose to them) if we beat them real bad?" Counting chickens is the main cause of eggs not hatching. Nothing in my post says Cornell will be playing in Albany. The part about the adulby cu722001 - Hockey

Re: CU & ECAC Tourney on TV - 14 years ago
The game tonight is on 1978 on TWC in Albany. 8 PM. Maybe it's 1878, I think it is. Don't know what the non-high-def channel is.by cu722001 - Hockey
