Re: game chat on slack (invite inside) - 4 months ago
I only suggested Discord on the other thread because we just got a Discord Server for birdwatching in Pennsylvania. The goal there was to consolidate all the text message WeChats and all the Facebook pages into a single place. We tend to use it much like this forum, that is to post messages with one or two responses rather than to live chat. However, I realized that it could be used for live cby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 4 months ago
I caught the last 5 minutes of the game on TV. The Penn announcers actually had some good things to say about Cornell. Although they were actually more focused on the fact that the Penn running back actually had a chance to beat the school record for yards by a RB, unlikely as that would be if Penn got the ball back (since they'd take a knee rather than run the ball).by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

jtwcornell91 Trotsky I gotta say, during the COVID MLB season I realized that, even as a purist who hates every innovation since batting helmets, I could get used to 7-inning games. 3-PA minimum. Pitch clock. 100-games RS. There is no problem in baseball that can't be solved by less baseball.

Trotsky Love it. Although when I was there, the biggest right-winger didn't wear bow-ties. He wore a monocolor double-knit shirt with monocolor slacks of exactly the same color (as in a kelly green shirt with kelly green slacks).

Weder 8-3 exhibition win against the University of Toronto today, with eight different goal-scorers. I had the game on but wasn't really paying close attention. The top line was Izzy Daniel, Lily Delianedis and Katie Chan, the transfer from Colgate. Annelies Bergmann was in goal the second half of the game and gave up one goal (on a bit of a defensive breakdown) on two shots. Highlights; Thby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
Just got home from the game. When we blitzed, and it wasn't often, we put some decent heat on the Lehigh QB. When we dropped back in a prevent defense, we gave him all day to find receivers in the seams. Which he did. One other thing I noticed: Whenever we ran any kind of screen, toss, or sweep it went to the short side. Always. Usually we opened every drive with an attempt to runby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

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.

Chris '03 Trotsky You're gonna make me hope.

It is too much to ask for the return of Domestic Abuser Bear. Condescending bear leaning on block C forever. Huggy Bear never. +1by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
