Re: President Pollack resigning - 3 days ago
scoop85 ice President Pollack is 65 years old. It is a very difficult time to be a university president anywhere. Yes, massive headaches across the board to have to deal with. "That's what the money is for."by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 6 days ago
George64 Trotsky It's the Ivies. None of us have had a decent football team since the 60s. To me, decent means being competitive in the Ivy and Patriot Leagues. A low bar, to be sure. That's what I meant: competitive in the Ivy League, fun to watch, etc.by mike1960 - Other Sports

The stadium looks kind of run down on television. For instance, you can see rust on the steel posts that are attached to the concrete structure. There are lots of great products now that rehabilitate concrete. It could do for major makeover.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Swampy CU2007 Ken711 Cornell had their spring game yesterday. Now it's waiting until training camp begins in August. And somehow Cornell still couldn’t come away with a win Of course. They're getting ready for the fall. Would be nice to have a decent football team this year.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Just saw the Princeton-Penn score. 18-11 Cats. I will definitely watch this one to see how Princeton scored 18 on that defense. Earlier in the year, they scored 15 on them, the highest total until today against Penn.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 8 days ago
CU77 mike1960 In both Penn games, it seemed to me that Penn figured out a way to neutralize our offense and we didn't a plan B or plan C. There was an exception. In the Ivy tournament, we sent Kelleher to X against a short stick, had him drive to GLE, pass around the top, and then get a good shot on the other side. But we didn't go back to that, or try other things to make the defense scramble. Tby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 8 days ago
upprdeck Kirst rumored to come back. Lets see. The key part of the game were the 2 TWO min penalties we didnt even really generate shots down 2. A few bad unforced turnovers in a game like that hurt as well. Yes, those turnovers really hurt. Our guys must have felt the pressure. That happens. Honestly, I thought we were (are) the better team, and I was certain we were going to win goiby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 8 days ago
arugula We screwed ourselves over. Unlike hockey at least we blew it by playing a strong schedule. Harder to be too upset about some of the lacrosse losses versus hockey losing to Colgate etc. Funny that Kirst is the Award candidate when Long is the most important player. If my math is right is that 100 total seasons between hockey and lacrosse of being national contenders and never winby mike1960 - Other Sports

Swampy CU77 Georgetown beats Villanova in a wild Big East championship game, 11-10 OT. Big Red's hopes have dodged the first of 3 bullets. We're all Pennsylvanians now! Michigan over PSU 16-4. We're all in mourning now. How many ways can Tambroni screw us over this year?by mike1960 - Other Sports

We looked a lot better that quarter. Our defense is picking up. We need RG30 to score. Gilmartin has really raised the level of his game.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 10 days ago
CJ has a great D man on him. We're going to need other guys to step up. I like what we were doing at the end of the half -- intense dodging behind the net and shooting or passing. Without Mikey Long, I think we're going to have to ask RG30 to win this game for us. We've made mistakes on defense and we've paid for it. At least four Penn goals were just old fashioned dodging and shooting. We gotby mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 10 days ago
Trotsky mike1960 I like that our offense is spacing things out. Their goalie made a good stop, but if we keep shooting, we'll score some goals tonight.Their goalie has made two ungodly Drydenesque moves so far. I hope he's not going to have his career night. He's been good so far. We can't let him get in our heads and think we have to make the perfect shot. If we just keep making good shots,by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 10 days ago
Trotsky semsox Trotsky Why did we have to surrender the ball after that takeaway? They called a hold on Follows (45) I believe.Thanks. I'm never going to understand this game. They got tangled up and the ref decided to make it a thing.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 11 days ago
I'm looking for the offense to keep things spread out a little more this time against Penn so the Penn slides require an extra step or two. If we can create a little more space for CJ, Mikey Long, and Kelleher, we're score a few more goals.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 16 days ago
dag14 mike1960 CU77 Cornell wins the game, 15-10, and sole possession of the Ivy League title. Nice job with the defense. We kept Green from the top side and pushed them down the alleys. We also sent a slider to pick up pretty quick. I also like that we sent a double when the ballcarrier turned his back. That's a recipe for a turnover, and I think we got a couple from that. Too bad about thby mike1960 - Other Sports

CU77 Cornell wins the game, 15-10, and sole possession of the Ivy League title. Congrats to the team and coaches on a great regular season. It was a good win. It was clear from the start that the Big Green were going to have an uphill day. Our offense got the job done, although I think we took a few too many ill-considered shots. The absence of Mikey Long was noticeable. I hope he's ok foby mike1960 - Other Sports
