Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 29 days ago
ugarte djk, you have my permission to have your heart broken as a fan. This is really at the crux of how sports imitates life. Many of us habitually delay the processing of difficult emotions or don't even realize that stuff is still sitting somewhere in our subconscious mind, and it is only through a moment of ecstatic absolution that we feel it is safe or worthwhile to do that work.

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.by imafrshmn - Other Sports

As a fan of Classicism, i enjoyed all the ridiculous allusions to Greek mythology that almost effortlessly wrote themselves into our story as presented on the broadcast. Funny how that works.by imafrshmn - Other Sports

For the life of me, i don't know why they use venues that are 2x bigger than necessary for the F4. The heydays of filling up stadia for the shindig are passed.by imafrshmn - Other Sports

Trotsky ugarte what a play by 7 to shut it down. LGRThrilling that as dominant as the PSU D was in the first half, ours was in the 2nd. Absolutely. The hustle plays, the ground balls, the breakups, the grit are the foundation. The flashy offense is the penthouse.by imafrshmn - Other Sports

Re: Cornell softball coaching change - 2 months ago
Similar story with former Harvard Women's Hockey coach Katey Stone, and how she was protected by insular leadership for years. Social norms around coaching, safety, and abuse have been changing for the better, and these "old school" coaches get stuck fostering toxic cultures.by imafrshmn - Other Sports

Re: NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU - 3 months ago
One of the annoying paradoxes about winning big hockey games seems to be that when players are able to take it for granted, to some extent, they can play freer. Feeling the weight of the opportunity is not always psychologically beneficial. Maybe that's part of our track record in the regional, maybe not.by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU - 3 months ago
These guys had the stuff of champions, regardless of this outcome. You don't play sports for moral victories, but they gave us everything we could have hoped for this year. Schafer deserved to win at least one natty, if we're being honest. A living legend. Thanks everyoneby imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU - 3 months ago
I love these guys, this team, Schafe. Smarts, willpower, and cutting edge. Deep breaths. Trust & Live.by imafrshmn - Hockey

imafrshmn BearLover Minnesota got completely and utterly hosed by the refs in their game with UMass just now. If Cornell is going to lose, I just hope it isn’t like that. They certainly did... and Gopher fans were justified in throwing trash on the ice at the end there. OT goal reviews should be able to adjudicate infractions in the buildup play... not sure what the official explanation was theby imafrshmn - Hockey

It reminded me of The Shift vs UNH (when you were probably in elementary school ), except we didn't score at the end of it. (HAHA) what's the lore behind The Shift?

That final 20-30 second sequence on the PP was so masterful, it's almost hard to believe we had it in us. We absolutely undressed Sparty with the last couple passes--those guys were practically shitting the bed. Champagne hockey. Cheers Schafe.by imafrshmn - Hockey
