Depending on your biases, people tend to favor taxing various kinds of income differently. Tips. Overtime. Capital gains. Not exactly "biases."

Re: Cornell Lacrosse legacy started before Richie Moran - 21 days ago
Trotsky The hockey program is the bust of Ned. Someday the inevitable will happen. Lynah will be replaced by a Cheel-like antiseptic Chamber of Wraiths, and it will have a Cornell hockey museum (with overpriced gift shop) suspiciously similar to the Jackie Rotunda at Citi Field. The vaulted ceiling should be The Creation of Adam, with Ned about to pull Mike's and Richie's fingers. FYP. Pby Swampy - Other Sports

mike1960 I still haven't forgiven Donville but I'm glad I gave it a listen. Forgiven him for what? Thanks to COVID and the IV League shutdown, he had one more year of eligibility. But he graduated from Cornell, and IV rules wouldn't let him play as a graduate student. So, he went to Maryland to earn a graduate degree, play lacrosse, and win an NC in 2022. In that championship game, he scorby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lacrosse legacy started before Richie Moran - 24 days ago
RichH We put up a bear statue outside of Teagle, but somewhere there should statue or bust of Ned. As the glow of CU football national relevance was rapidly fading, the fact that one guy rocket-fueled *two* varsity programs to establish traditions of greatness for (at least) 60 years is pretty astounding. +1 Very insightful.

chimpfood I would guess it’s Goldstein Firth and Nicolic on attack next year. Firth and Goldstein produce enough that they need to be on attack and Nicolic has size that we are gonna need after we lose CJ and Hugh. You may be right. But Nicolic is also a good candidate for taking Hugh's place at midfield. Also, he's coming back from injury. Remember how Cascaden improved as he healed during theby Swampy - Other Sports

In 1941, he became a volunteer coach of RPI's new lacrosse club. After serving as a bombardier in the RCAF during WWII, in 1945, he became the coach of RPI's new varsity lacrosse team.

That's four possessions lost when they desperately needed them. I would give Cornell more credit. All year long they’ve had an incredible ride and outlasted teams in the second half.

semsox Couldn't ask for a more exciting opportunity for this senior class. I'd like to think both Richmond and PSU were good tuneups stylistically for what Maryland will try to do. LGR. Yeah! Coming into the tournament, people were characterizing Cornell as having a grade-A offense but facing a grade-A defense in Richmond, with a more plodding style.

Greenberg '97 Since yesterday, Ticketmaster opened up sales on sections 101-106, from the Cornell section of 107 all the way to the end zone. I'll probably be buying in 106 once I know how many. Yesterday I sat in CL7. It's above 107 and was a bit more expensive (just over $100). (When I looked, seats in 107 were no longer available.)
