ugarte chimpfood Xavian Lee to Floridamixed feelings about him leaving the conference for the usual reasons but from what i've seen idk if he's going to thrive in the secs This lad done gonna find out. If he succeeds at Florida, it means Ivy players can play with that best. We can take some consolation in that.by billhoward - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 4/14 4 weeks at No. 1 - 2 months ago
It seems as if Cornell chooses its schedule to : Suport NYS especially upstate teams Vary the competition and/ but back away from teams that aren't currently doing well (Binghamton for sure, Albany, Stony Brook (only played them 4X last 25 years)) Play nearby teams so we could do a one-day trip, less than ~2 hours, to Syracuse, Hobart, Binghamton. Bucknell is 2:30, Penn State is 2:30, Albanyby billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Ben Robertson transfer - 3 months ago
ugarte He might not even leave! (whoops reading the Sun article now. looks like his choices aren't skimping on the academics, though Denver would probably be a more hockey-centric choice) Ben Robertson was in ILR. That would not be the right choice if you wanted to live a hockey-centric, academics-lite career on the Hill. We have two goaltenders returning: Remington Keopple and Justin Katz, bby billhoward - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 4/14 4 weeks at No. 1 - 3 months ago
LGR14Isn't the top 5, 10, etc. wins criteria based on RPI rather than the poll? For the NCAA determination of the best way to screw Cornell and seed us, say, sixth and in the Denver quarterfinal (yes, I know the quarterfinals are not in Denver but at Hofstra and Navy), I believe it is based on RPI. Third parties such as Quint Kessenich could choose it to be his own poll or RPI.by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 4/14 4 weeks at No. 1 - 3 months ago
Also for April 14 week (after the Syracuse game), Quint Kessenich, fresh from covering the Frozen Four, has these teams on top : 1 Cornell QK: "Big Red (10-1) hit the ten-win mark after putting up 17 goals against Syracuse on Long Island. CJ Kirst and Ryan Goldstein ran circles around the Orange defense with patience and precision. Goalie Wyatt Knust was razor sharp early while buildingby billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs Syracuse Men's Lacrosse, Saturday, April 12, 4 PM, Uniondale - 3 months ago
upprdeck su could have let cornell run out the clock. if you are gonna chase and double then scoring is fine Then both sides can be aggrieved and look for a rematch. I would love to see of the final four teams be Ivies / NYS teams. How about Army, Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse? You know somebody will roll out the term brainiac. <gag>by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs Syracuse Men's Lacrosse, Saturday, April 12, 4 PM, Uniondale - 3 months ago
From President Kotlikoff down, I suspect their concerns spring 2025 go beyond dot-edu versus dot-com. What I dislike about our website is it seems like there are not many skins (interfaces) so about 100 schools are the same other than the primary color. Okay, we do look different from the Cornell College Rams sports landing page.by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 4/14 4 weeks at No. 1 - 3 months ago
Media poll for April 14, Cornell again at No. 1, now with all the first-place votes. One problem with beating the teams we've beaten: They fall out of the top five and then we have, currently, only Princeton as a top-five victory. Should we beat No. 10 Harvard this week, they'd probably fall out, too. Rank Team Points Prev 1 Cornell (10 - 1) 460(23) 1 2 Princeton (9 - 2) 429by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs Syracuse Men's Lacrosse, Saturday, April 12, 4 PM, Uniondale - 3 months ago
Kirst got mobbed (okay, semi-mobbed, snow was coming down hard after the final whistle) at Lehigh. Makes me wonder how Cornell's fortunes would have been if Jeff Teat weighed and stood the same Ed Marinaro-esque 6-2, 215 as CJ Kirst.by billhoward - Other Sports
Re: Next Cornell Men's NCAA Tournament appearance - 3 months ago
I was tempted to say next year (but settled for 2027). I resect Casey Jones' recruiting talents. The whole point of the one-year crossover was to smooth the ride in. We are getting good at this win-the-ECACs-as-underdogs thing.by billhoward - Hockey
Re: D3 2025 champion Hobart over Utica - 3 months ago
Sometimes one suspects the NCAA is one big cranial — rectal inversion. I recall at the basketball tournament a couple years back, the officials wanted to eject Jason Gay from the press table because he brought a Wall Street Journal mug and was advised the only drinking vessel allowed is whatever sports drink it was that year.by billhoward - Hockey

upprdeck as i thiught the logins worked for multiple devices at once It did and the signup, if you were able, noted you can stream on multiple devices. My translation was: Load on three, at least one will run. I finally got video on my big TV but the upper 80% of the screen was as if 75% of the saturation was removed; only the bottom fifth was full saturation.by billhoward - Other Sports

Re: Frozen Four - NCAA scandal (WMU logo) - 3 months ago
Perhaps because the NCAA is such a lean machine, no freeloaders, when they go on the road, somehow the arena crew in St. Louis was given the wrong logo to paint at center ice. WMU AD noticed it right away when the team arrived. Gotta be said it's subtle difference between old (top) and new. New looks crisper, as if designed to be more recognizable on the lowest-res devices.by billhoward - Hockey
Re: D3 2025 champion Hobart over Utica - 3 months ago
DII schools wanted to be a bit more competitive than DIII but weren't ready to challenge Cornell, Denver, BU. As DII contracted, some did move up to D1 such Bemidji State, RIT, Mercyhurst, some dropped down, and a handful stayed as DII, but not big enough the NCAA to want to continue to give them a playoff of their own: Assumption, Franklin Pierce, Post, Saint Anselm, St. Michaels, Southern New Hby billhoward - Hockey

The 2-seed Statesmen got a first-round bye in the 14-team tournament, then beat Trine U (of Fort Wayne (Angola), Indiana) 3-2 in OT, #4 SUNY Geneseo 2-1 in the semis, and #6 Utica 2-1 again in overtime for the title.

Re: Cornell vs Syracuse Men's Lacrosse, Saturday, April 12, 4 PM, Uniondale - 3 months ago
I'm planning to watch on TV on account of we have an 85" set, the cost of tolls from NJ about equals the cost of the pay-per-view , and we got company coming from Europe. I believe Corrigan Sports Enterprises is unrelated to broadcaster Jack Corrigan '74 (Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies). Although being there is a better experience.

I am happy with the Frozen Two that play for the 2025 NCAA title, Western Michigan versus Boston University: Western Michigan is overdue for a trip to the Frozen Four and now the title game. The last four years they've gone .679 ('21-22), .603, .566 and this year .817.
