adamw Wrote: unassisted triple play Thank you, Adam. Can't believe it took that long to get to my favorite baseball rarity. A close 2nd is the bases-loaded intentional walk. That's obviously less skill and luck than any other feat, as it's a pre-determined strategic event. But think about it...it's fascinating (to me) to come up with the scenario where one team would be willing to giveby RichH - Hockey

Avash '05 Wrote: What's University Hall #6? Oooooo. now you're asking for a rant from older alumni. The U-Halls are those 6 brick dorms on West that are now scheduled for demolition with the new West Campus initiative. Originally they were numbered 1-6, but with renovation in the late '80s (I think), were renamed "Class Halls" for the donors that ponied up the cash.by RichH - Hockey

For Niagara, a Harvard-Brown roadtrip would be 956 miles in a weekend. For Mercyhurst, a Harvard-Brown roadtrip would be 1,132 miles in a weekend although that might involve flying.

ugarte Wrote: Yes, Rich, of course I meant each and every one. This isn't even a job for Captain Pedantry. Do me a favor and at least find some evidence that among the current athletes, much less the student body as a whole, there is a general preference for the old logo (which I prefer) before resting on the not-so-stunning point that my statement was not literally accurate.

The new logo on a sea of red is pretty damn sharp. We like it, and I think that's the point. Really?? Each and every one of them?

Re: [Lax] Cornell still No. 9 in poll - 20 years ago

Well, actually, they have taken advantage of that in hockey by being the host school and the host site. U of M's Yost Arena was a regional site in 1998, 2002, and 2003.

Re: [OT] Best sport facilities (Ivy League) - 20 years ago
As yet another musician on this board, I'll agree with those who have said that Bailey is quite funky acoustically. I played in various groups during my 4 years, and I really didn't understand what was good/bad about it until I was able to take in Wind Ensemble concerts as an alumnus and an audience member. Certain ranges and timbres resonate wonderfully (midrange of tenor trombones), while othby RichH - Hockey

Tom Pasniewski 98 Wrote: I agree with the wrestling center - not overly done in its appropriateness for the sport. With all due respect to the current student-athletes now benefiting from the new center, I disagree. The facilities that existed prior to the new wrestling palace were not insufficient. Newman Arena was still relatively new, there had been a major expansion to training faciliby RichH - Hockey

Re: Cornell 3rd Jerseys - 20 years ago
marty Wrote: RIP has announced it's second annual Black Friday wingding. They will do the auction again. I hope the black jerseys look a bit better than they did this year. IIRC, this year's jerseys were black versions of the ones the 1985 National Championship team wore. Ugly or not, that's probably pretty meaningful to fans.by RichH - Hockey
Re: jerseys for sale - 20 years ago
Well, to be fair, these prices are in line for the overall market of game-worn jerseys (for professional jerseys, generally). They just aren't in line for *our* market prices.by RichH - Hockey

Ohio State is Super-Freaky - 20 years ago
I can't believe this myself. Right out of Chappelle's Show. From After beating Michigan, the Buckeyes did something decidedly atypical. Rather than disappear into the quiet of the night, the dazed and happy Bucks returned to their hotel in Detroit's Renaissance Center and celebrated — briefly — with family and friends. They made straight for the hotel bar, where players of age sipped thby RichH - Hockey

Simple answer: it was judged by the voters that Peter Senja of Colorado College was a more deserving of the award. Both had amazing seasons.

Re: OT: Goalie masks vs. catcher's masks - 20 years ago
LowellFrank Wrote: This style of catcher's mask has been around for a number of years. I believe the first catcher to wear one was Charlie O'Brien (of too many teams to list here). He was playing with Toronto (of course!) when the goalie-style mask made its debut. September 13, 1996. Some guys don't like them; I know Mike Piazza prefers the face mask/batting helmet combination.by RichH - Hockey
