To update my previous post, Cornell beat BU 6-0 today. Ramsey had three more goals and it was Cornell's fourth shutout in five games.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Cornell field hockey 2023 season - 5 months ago
The field hockey team deserves some kudos. It has won 10 of its last 11 games, and has already clinched a spot in the inaugural Ivy tournament. Cornell is tied with Penn for second place in the Ivies with a 4-1 record, and can clinch a share of the title and the top seed in the league tournament with a win at Harvard on Saturday. All-American Caroline Ramsay is one of the best players in the counby dbilmes - Other Sports

Swim team alumni are still upset that no replacement has been announced for Teagle. It can't help the swim coaches recruit against Ivies which have much nicer and newer pools.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - new Union rink? - 5 months ago
Trotsky Isn't the "Vampire Squid of the Week" Q facility well off campus, too? Q's rink is on its York Hill Campus. When the rink was first opened, there wasn't anything else there. But now that campus -- which is on top of a hill as those of us who have gone to games there know -- includes a student center and three dorms for upperclass students. So yes, the facility is off Q's mainby dbilmes - Hockey

Women's hockey is up 1-0 in the first period if you want to watch an example of a well-coached Cornell team!by dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2023 - 5 months ago
I'm sure the president of the university spends a lot of time flying around the country and the world hitting up alums to make big donations to Cornell. I would hate to think that whether someone donates to Cornell or not is based upon whether they see the president at Homecoming.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Season Tickets (now with booze?) - 6 months ago
CAS As I wrote before, last year Cornell hockey still had the highest average attendance of any ECAC school & the second highest percentage of capacity (behind only Quinnipiac, whose rink has 900 fewer seats). Student attendance was outstanding. The Quinnipiac attendance figures are misleading. I have been to a number of games there over the years, mainly against Cornell, which were listed aby dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Cornell Soccer 2023 - 6 months ago
I was impressed with the Harvard announcers. They knew a lot about Cornell and were quite complimentary of the program.by dbilmes - Other Sports
Men's hockey captains 2023-24 - 6 months ago
Penney is this year's captain, with Seger and O'Leary as assistant captains. The last captain who wasn't a senior was Morgan Barron in 2019-20. Let's hope this year's team has similar success!by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Cornell Soccer 2023 - 6 months ago
scoop85 Great game story from the Daily Orange As a former sports editor of The Cornell Sun, it pains me to say this, but the quality of this story is better than any sports story I've seen in the Sun in years. The Syracuse sportswriter actually went to an away game in person, had some good tactical details from the game, and had pertinent quotes both from the coach and one of the players. To makby dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Lynah East presale - 6 months ago
arugula Anyone know when at Yale tickets go on sale. Right now still just season tickets for sale. I contacted the Yale ticket office last week and they said tickets for individual games will go on sale in early October, but didn't give me an exact date.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Lynah East presale - 6 months ago
I just got an email from Harvard Athletics saying Lynah East is sold out, but a limited number of standing room tickets remain. They are also encouraging fans to go to SeatGeek.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 months ago
Cornell was picked to finish 4th in the preseason coaches' poll. Colgate was the unanimous pick to finish on top, with their exception of the Colgate coach, who was prohibited from voting for his own team, giving us a bone by voting for Cornell for No. 1. Rory Guilday was voted the preseason All-ECAC team.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Season Tickets (now with booze?) - 6 months ago
RichH arugula upprdeck so if you went to that site you would have no idea which game is which night.. Funny that we make fun of Harvard for jacking up the tickets for the Cornell game when we are doing the same thing. Wrong. We expect a higher single-game ticket price for their Cornell game. Most league opponents have done that for years, knowing we actually show up and will pay. It’s the facby dbilmes - Hockey

Re: St. Lawrence at Cornell 2023-02-18 - 7 months ago
billhoward Early 1980s I was at some quasi-sports, quasi-political event in Boston. Talked to Bobby Orr. He lists at 6-0 in NHL bios. I am 5-7. I looked him pretty much straight in the eyes. Orr made the most of whatever height he really was. Maybe 5-9 or 5-10. Maybe the height was how tall he was when he was in his skates!by dbilmes - Hockey

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 7 months ago
This press release sums up the expectations for the Archer years. As long as we finish higher in the standings than was predicted, the season will be a success. If Cornell finishes in 6th place in the Ivies, we can consider it another successful season! Our opening Ivy opponent, Yale, received 13 of 16 first-place votes.

Ivy League lacrosse - 9 months ago
Sean Kirwan, the offensive coordinator for Virgina, is the new head coach at Dartmouth. It's interesting that Dartmouth fired Brendan Callahan as coach even though Dartmouth just had its first .500 season in 15 years. By those standards, Archer, our football coach, is lucky he's not coaching at Dartmouth! Kirwan was an assistant coach at Brown for two years, during which Brown won two Ivy titlesby dbilmes - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse: Sun. 5/14 Michigan 230p NCAA 1st round - 10 months ago
Watching the Yale-Georgetown game, the ESPN announcers must be broadcasting from somewhere off-site. It's pouring and the weather looks miserable every time they show the fans in the stands, and they haven't mentioned anything at all about the wet conditions. You have to believe that if they were there in person they would at least acknowledge it. I was watching the Mets game in Washington beforeby dbilmes - Other Sports

CU77 Massey gives Cornell a 61% chance of winning, by a most-likely score of 14-13: And Massey has Princeton beating Penn, 12-11. So basically the Ivy games are both toss-ups.by dbilmes - Other Sports
