billhoward If any school has the money to support any and all athletic teams, it would be Stanford. Whether Koll stayed at Stanford or rejoined the Tar Heels, he's in the ACC. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, these Stanford sports go to the ACC: Football, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, women’s lacrosse, wrestling, women’s gymnastics, cross country, golf, tennis, track & fielby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: RIP Kevin Pettit ‘71 - 7 months ago
Trotsky George64 randyranger I was told (many people talked about it) that in the previous year's V vs F game (October,1967) that Kevin scored a hat trick against Ken Dryden...the ONLY player to do so in Dryden's 4 years at Cornell. Quite a factoid. As pointed out by a friend, including citation, apparently not true. See Cornell University Hockey by Adam Woden, with research by Arthur Mintzby Swampy - Hockey

Trotsky Swampyeven though fair housing legislation has made de facto racism illegal (if you can prove it). For now. I assume the fasc will eventually end disparate impact and force us to prove intent. Oh, right. There’s no such thing as structural racism.by Swampy - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 9 months ago
Trotsky The ruling is irrelevant to legacy admissions as a matter of law. It's simply a particularly hilarious self-own by our ruling class (and many of our classmates) of their hypocrisy. It should be enjoyed and savored as one of those moments when the scenery falls away and we see the bare wall at the back of the theater.

There ought to be a law requiring the USNTDP to relocate its training location to upstate New York. (Or at least requiring Canada's team to locate there.)by Swampy - Hockey

ugarte Swampy ugarte if you don't want to lose on a faceoff get a better fogo. sudden death in lax makes perfect sense to me. Well, in Cornell v Michigan our FOGO won the faceoff and ran unimpeded towards the goal. He took a shot, which Michigan's GK saved. Then, at the other end, a 1st-year defender was caught taking his eyes off the man he was marking, and Michigan scored. This was certainby Swampy - Other Sports

Re: Lacrosse Final Four 2023 - 11 months ago
Al DeFlorio billhoward 2 teams wishing OT was not sudden death. Too much weight to the team with the better FOGO. Ridiculous OT format for a sport where a goal every 2-2.5 minutes is the norm. Agree, but the problem is how to make 2, 3, 4, or more OT periods more unlikely.by Swampy - Other Sports

CU77 C.J. Kirst is a Tewaaraton finalist: But not Gavin Adler, who should have been; all five finalists play attack. Yeah. It's time they stop pretending the Tewaarton is for the best player in college lacrosse. It's for the best offensive player. And, depending on the style of play currently in vogue, even just the best player at attack (as in this year).by Swampy - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 12 months ago
CU77 Looking too far ahead, Cornell will need to play as well as possible, and wish a dash of luck, to have a chance against any of the top 4 in the quarterfinals. Fortunately, one can say the same thing about the top 4 teams. They're all good enough to win the whole shebang. So a team that plays up to its ability and has a bit of luck has a great chance of winning.by Swampy - Other Sports

upprdeck most places have cornell as a 6-7-8 see now.. Losing at best they are an 8. Some Metrics have the IVY as the 8 see anyway. If yale wins out they will Jump Cornell for sure getting to 10-4 over Cornells 11-3. Penn probably needs to win 1 to stay in the mix. Are you suggesting that Pton is in no matter what?by Swampy - Other Sports
