Re: Cornell Lacrosse legacy started before Richie Moran - 14 days ago
BearLover stereax RichH “Big video scoreboard” should be banned in buildings like Lynah and Appleton. Completely glaring, ruining the light & atmosphere, not to mention turning fans into teevee watchers instead of active participants. The annoying thing about the video scoreboard on the A/O side is that it's not big enough or consistent enough to see replays of stuff that's actually usefulby Scersk '97 - Other Sports

jtwcornell91 Jeff Hopkins '82 Chris H82 This is a different sort of angry Bear on the shirts... Hmmm. I like the angry bear. The dead turtle and lion not so much. Looks pretty silly for a licensed product. Silly bears get pretty wild when they vanquish their foes.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports

mike1960 Scersk '97 Considering Rendell, I'd imagine it was not his first choice… Considering the title of his book, I'd imagine he not quite the tough guy he believes himself to be. Rendell was certainly "colorful," and he did some good in his time. This book was probably his mini-Giuliani moment. At least there was no hair dye running down his face as he rode off into the sunset.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports

mike1960 Scersk '97 imafrshmn I'm a bit of a contrarian with respect to outdoor weather and lacrosse. Yes, there is that player safety issue to contend with. But if we are to uphold the true spirit of the game, if we are to keep what makes geography interesting, i think nature should not be cut out of it. It is ironic that the author uses a euphemism.

arugula chimpfood That’s fucking big time let’s go. Wonder if we just let Roest walk because I want this kid in this fall. I could see a world where we leave him in the Q for another year though because he doesn’t have much CHL experience still. After all of the short goalies we’ve had 6 feet 4 inches sounds sweet. First tall keeper since Scrivens I think. Pet peeve for a long time. Excellenby Scersk '97 - Hockey

I think we should press more unsettled. Don’t let them set up at all, even at the risk of a miscue or two. We could break it open and run away with it instead of letting them hang around.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports
Re: Alumni in the pros 24-25 - 5 weeks ago
scoop85 With Garman joining the ND coaching staff, he’s someone to keep in mind as a possible HC candidate down the road when Casey is ready to retire. I think Garman would be a very strong candidate. And, anyway, I’m still peeved that Iles got that start in Atlantic City. Garman is owed one.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

TimV stereax It's all your fault, it's all your fault! This is fabulous. Let's adopt this as a new (and original) chant for lacrosse this weekend. And hockey in the fall. We could even have the band play Davy beforehand! It’ll be a hoot!by Scersk '97 - Other Sports

rss77 Kirst did not seem to moving at the pace he has most of the year. He has taken a ton of shots to the body this season so not sure if we credit Richmond's defense or potential minor injury? I will comment that I amazed at the way Goldstein moves his feet. I think 90% of us would trip over our own feet if we tried to move like him. On replays it looked like he was “over-waving” his stickby Scersk '97 - Other Sports
Re: Meinig Fieldhouse Construction - 6 weeks ago
RichH Scersk'97 RichH WHAT ARE ALL THOSE DIGITAL KIDS DOING ON MY LAWN??!! I like the two random flag wavers for the soccer game. To the right of the flag wavers: two people taking selfies on the sideline but their cameras are facing away from the soccer game right in front of them. To be honest, that is the height of verisimilitude.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports

stereax RichH mike1960 Too many experts over there. I’ll stick with the duffers right here. I thank you! *takes bow* I like and value our lax community here. As someone who doesn't understand lax almost at all... nice here. Like, I think I get it, and then something happens during a game, mostly with substitutions and such, where I just throw up my hands. But I still like watching it.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports

Re: 2025-26 Incoming Freshman and Transfers - 6 weeks ago
BearLover arugula One of the reasons I love following Cornell sports is that I can unironically refer to the teams as we. Also that I can engage in a measure of sanctimony on thinking that we are somehow doing it the right way and are better than at least our non-Ivy opponents. Having elderly freshman undermines the power of my sanctimony which, along with sarcasm, is my superpower. I literallyby Scersk '97 - Hockey

ER Scersk '97 pepbandoldie Maybe the band will be allowed to play on the road. Yeah, I do not know at all what is up. My guess is the team requested freebird. They probably practice with it and barely see the band so have become accustomed to hearing it when they score And they scored 21 last Friday with the band playing, so I’m going to go with tradition not being something to throw out.by Scersk '97 - Other Sports
