Swampy That 4 of the earlier 5 continued their careers as coaches may have had something to do with it. I can't find very much on Robert Henrickson, so he's a bit of a wild card. Robert Henrickson ‘78 got his DVM from Cornell in ‘83 and practices in Manhasset, LI. .by George64 - Other Sports

George64 Movie to be released in July, Oppenheimer, “The epic thriller chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic American scientist who ran the Manhattan Project — which led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.“ As Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman and Paul Olum (had a class with him, BTW) all worked on the Manhattan Project, I think Cornell may get a mention.

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 11 months ago
I looked at the Athletic Department’s giving page today - with a week left in the fiscal year, football is at 52 percent of its funding goal! Compare that to women’s ice hockey (100%), wrestling (99%), sprint football (155%), rowing (98%) . . . Apparently, people are trying to send a message to AD Moore through their wallets!by George64 - Other Sports

Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 11 months ago
ugarte upprdeck The new wrestling rule changes are interesting to see.. going to 3 for a takedown rewards guys attackingit also, appropriately, puts more distance between the value of a takedown and an escape. I recall Kyle Dake wrestling in a match against Binghamton University. Binghamton had a pretty good wrestler in Kyle’s weight class, but not good enough to beat Kyle, so their coachby George64 - Other Sports

Ken711 ITHACA, N.Y. -- Inside Lacrosse has announced its 2023 All-Americans, and CJ Kirst and Gavin Adler have been named to the first team. Adler is a two-time first-team honoree, and one of two first-team awardees to be a unanimous selection. Kirst, an honorable mention in 2022, was one of two athletes to miss unanimous selection to the first team by one vote. And yet, Adler wasn’t a finalisby George64 - Other Sports

BearLover CU77 AFAIK they had both exhausted their Ivy eligibility, which is different than their NCAA eligibility. You may be right about Teat, who was class of ‘20. (Did the 2020 season count towards the four years of Ivy eligibility?) But Donville was ‘21, same class as Piatelli, who played for Cornell last season, so Donville could have returned rather than transfer. According to Cornell’sby George64 - Other Sports

RobbAs good of a place as any to trot out a fact I once heard (but could not verify just now with a quick google): when it was built in 1914, the Yale Bowl (70,896) was the first stadium to exceed the seating capacity of the Roman Colosseum (~50,000). As quoted in the July 28, 2018 New Haven Register: “The Roman Coliseum was the only facility on Earth that could compare at the time, and of courby George64 - Other Sports

From BBC News: The principal of a Tallahassee school has been forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography. The complaint arose from a Renaissance art lesson where students were shown Michelangelo's statue of David. One parent complained the material was pornographic and two others said they wanted to know about the class before it was taughtby George64 - John Spencer Is Dead

dbilmes Pecknold will now have the locker room named after him and his wife as a result of the largest alumni donation in history of Q athletics. The largest alumni donation? I wonder how much $$$ it takes to renovate and name a locker room? A lot less, I’d think, than endowing a head coaching position that must go for at least 3 or 4 million. .by George64 - Hockey

In related news, the first novel by Toni Morrison, MA ‘55, has made the American Library Association’s annual list of most challenged books. The ALA defines a challenge as a 'formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness. Morrison’s 1970 novel, 'The Bluest Eye,' has been criticized for its references to rape aby George64 - John Spencer Is Dead

Trotsky Good. Everybody got rich off these guys except them. Now they're getting a piece and it's a travesty? Now they should unionize. Fuck the schools.

George64 upprdeck i wonder if the NIL game will trickle into college hockey or maybe it already has for those bigger schools.. play college make 500K is pretty good for the high level talent. Until I read this article, I hadn’t realized how out-of-hand NIL has become. I think it’s just a matter of time before it filters down to B1G hockey, if it hasn’t already. Call me naive, but this justby George64 - Hockey
