andyw2100 marty andyw2100 andyw2100 And the two service dogs. Don't forget the service dogs. Was anyone else worried for the dogs' welfare, being so close to the band? I googled it, and anything above 85 decibels can damage a dog's hearing. In Section M the band was regularly at 87- 89 decibels pregame, according to an app on my phone.

Al DeFlorio Dafatone BearLover Redpucks1! Tomorrow is a big day on the college hockey recruiting calendar - 8/1 is the first day that '07 birth years can commit. (First day they could be contacted by schools was 1/1/23). I have no inside connection to Cornell Hockey, just a fan, but I'm really hoping they are in on these 3 players. In no particular order they are: 1. Cooper Dennis - Ithacaby marty - Hockey

My "fell out of bed on my head" meter told me this is a fucked up location for the rink of a small school like Union, I didn't bother to look for the proof of my concussion conclusion, Thanks for doing this.

Re: Charles Feeney '56 - RIP - 6 months ago
billhoward marty billhoward Chuck Feeney gave away so much of his fortune, I bet he was afraid to come back on campus in case he had overdue library books. Yes, but I find it interesting that he was comfortable with 2 million. Interesting because $2 million is a lot, or not very much? At 5% that throws off $100,000, which most people could live on, and once you're 90ish, you probably could startby marty - John Spencer Is Dead

Weder Jeff Hopkins '82 George64 Chris '03 Trotsky That is fucking awesome. After 40 years, Cornell appears to have gotten somebody to do their comms who is under the age of 87. Now please, murder #yellcornell in its sleep and bury it in a shallow grave in Mecklenburg. It feels so there's been a tone shift this year from athletics. First full year from Nicki Moore.

billhoward Trotsky 12 play, 70-yard drive to start the third quarter ends in a QB sneak TD. 10-14 and somehow we aren't dead yet. I am trying to convince our Class Reunion to use the tagline #NotDeadYet. Traction is building mostly on account of it started at zero and couldn't go down.

The Youtube guys who are worried here think that everything will be scrambled so that all viewers will have to pay the equivalent of the cable fee to see the channels.
