Re: Cornell Lax vs Syracuse, 2016 April 12 - 8 years ago
Syracuse has shown that they are not invincible this year. Heck, we beat Virginia, right!? Maybe there is a god alive and well after all, Friedrich?? But, yes......a little razzle-dazzle, interior offense would be nice.by Johnny 5 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Lax @ Dartmouth 04/02/16 - 8 years ago
No, Dartmouth is not very good. That being said, this team seems to behave like what they are; talented but young. If they get ahead and feel comfortable they get creative. If they are behind, or pressed hard, they get tentative and boring. But, I think they have the potential to get very competitive as they mature. They most definitely are not, yet, a tournament champion. However, they areby Johnny 5 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Athletics 2015/6 Ivy Report Card - 8 years ago
Swampy Johnny 5 If students require physical activity it should be confined to non-contact endeavors that do not promote winners over losers and reward every participant equally. In that way they can obtain the physical benefits without risking permanent bodily or psychological injury. So now you're also advocating celibacy? Only if by celibacy you mean that Cornell can't score?! Not exaby Johnny 5 - Other Sports

It would seem that, to date, our next opponent has sucked the big New Hampshire pine cone. Can our kinder reverse their fortunes and notch a big "W"?? We say, "Let's go, Red"!!by Johnny 5 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Athletics 2015/6 Ivy Report Card - 8 years ago
O.K., we all know that Ivy League kids are there for the education. Smart kids aren't supposed to be athletic. Sports are a substitute for war. They promote anger and aggression and are antithetical to the Ivy precepts of intellectuality, peace, harmony and love. If students require physical activity it should be confined to non-contact endeavors that do not promote winners over losers and reby Johnny 5 - Other Sports

Looks like Penn has a very respectable team. Can our gang rebound from a tough Yale loss? I say........ And, "LGR"!!by Johnny 5 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lax vs Yale 03/19/16 - Yale 15-9 - 8 years ago
dbilmes This was the first time Yale beat Cornell in a regular season game in 14 years. Yes, we were bested in every category except faceoffs won. And, there the margin was small. But, they're young. And, if the Rupp kid's performance is any indicator, they will win again. To lessons learned? So, "LGR"!!by Johnny 5 - Other Sports
Re: The Year is Over - 8 years ago
Yes, another season laid down in the register. And, for us the end of a season of Cornell hockey has always held a mildly funereal air; regardless of the outcome. Oh, we follow all of Cornell's athletics in their myriad incarnations. But, hockey is something special, and always has been. Perhaps, it's that odd facility; the James Lynah Rink? That ancient holdout from a simpler time with roby Johnny 5 - Hockey

Looking like Saturday may be a great day for lacrosse in upstate NY? But, maybe we can still rain/snow on Yale's parade?? "LGR!!"by Johnny 5 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lax @ 'Gate 03/15/16 - 8 years ago
Jim Hyla Not too soon there, the hockey team could still make the NCAAs. True. I will wait patiently, with bated breath and multiple digits crossed! Perhaps, Nancy, there is a Santa Claus?? P.S. Many apologies. I was in the throes of a bout with severe depression after the Q loss. But, I'm better now.

Re: ECAC Quarterfinals Cornell @ Q 03/11/16 - 8 years ago
Once again, stupid, undisciplined, needless penalties proved to be the difference. How and/or when will they ever learn?by Johnny 5 - Hockey
Cornell Lax @ 'Gate 03/15/16 - 8 years ago
Well, hockey is officially history. An ugly ending to a season with so much potential. Can anybody spell self-discipline?? Here's hoping a similarly youthful Cornell lacrosse team can provide a more uplifting experience for its faithful! How's about a chorus of, "Rupp 'em up, Rupp 'em up, go CU!!" Colgate is currently a team with its own ups and downs. Let's see if our boys caby Johnny 5 - Other Sports

Re: ECAC Quarterfinals Cornell @ Q 03/11/16 - 8 years ago
Jim Hyla So there is very good chance I won't be there tonight. Maybe if I suddenly start feeling better by 2PM, I'll drive straight to the rink, but doubtful. Is there anyone out there who could bring and distribute newspapers? What about a couple of bags of Snickers Minis for the band and more to throw. I'd pay for the Snickers, but not for newspapers. I figure that maybe if I take it eby Johnny 5 - Hockey
