Re: Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust - 2 months ago
pfibiger RichH David Harding Kilpatrick's Pub downtown is closing, to be replaced by another (unnamed) "pub-style establishment" in a few months. Not the Finger lakes Beverage Center too!! That’s a loss I’ll feel. That was a great shop. Ugh. I stopped in there every summer. The selection was so much better than wegmans or p&c. That sucks.

She’s also on the field hockey team. Props to anyone who can balance classes, a varsity sport and the Sun.by Weder - Hockey

CU2007 I just looked at the women’s ECAC standings - they give out half points?! Yeah, it's what they came up with instead of having shootouts after OT.by Weder - Hockey

I only caught the third period. Was there any update on Katie Chan’s injury during the broadcast?by Weder - Hockey

BearLover There are some YouTube videos with yours of college hockey facilities. For example, UMass, which provides its players 24-hour access to a rink and gym exclusive to the hockey team: Contrast with the Cornell men’s team, which shares its ice with the women’s team, figure skating team, club team, intramurals, and recreational skaters, and which has a couple exclusive bikes and treadmiby Weder - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 4 months ago
Iceberg andyw2100 BearLover I meant televised on actual TV. The games on ESPN+ tend to have one commercial timeout per period. Games on actual TV tend to have three commercial timeouts per period (at least pro games and college games in the NCAA tournament). Tonight’s game had three per period. Speaking about the ads, why were there no Cornell ads? In the past, the school ads were split evenlyby Weder - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 4 months ago
marty Weder marty dag14 I really, really hate the "fancam" So does Hockey East have additional time outs during the regular season broadcasts or were these effing Fan Cam Can Cans designed to encourage folks to buy $15 beers? I wasn't listening to WHCU. Did they run commercials during the extra down time? I think when they've had these games at MSG the rink staff just sticks toby Weder - Hockey

Re: Women 2023-24 - 4 months ago
4-1 win over St. Thomas today in front of a nice Cornell contingent in Northern Virginia. Piper Grober scored her first collegiate goal, which wound up being the game-winner. Minnesota up tomorrow; the Gophers beat Harvard 3-1. It’s not a bracketed event, so I have idea if they are going to name a “champion” or anything.by Weder - Hockey
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 4 months ago
Swampy The parts that caught my eye are: "appreciates the size of the Department and the role of Football at the University" "Can deliver a compelling vision for the program's future while managing within budget" With regard to the first, do they mean "below average size" or does "role of Football (why capitalize?) at the University," refer to footbalby Weder - Other Sports

For the record, they are not in DC, they are in lovely Ballston, VA, a hotbed of social rest. I will go to support them. Attendance will be in the tens!

Re: Women 2023-24 - 4 months ago
dbilmes It looks like her presence has also raised the performance of Deanna Fraser, who is also off to a good start, playing much better than she did last year. It's interesting, I went back and looked at her stats from last season and on the surface they are not bad, but I agree that she has looked better this season. Having a healthier D (knocks on wood) has also been a plus. We still for thby Weder - Hockey

Re: Cornell football coach - 4 months ago

Re: Cornell football coach - 4 months ago
There are some $100 tickets for the Yale-Harvard game, just like there are some $100+ tickets when the Cornell hockey team plays at MSG. There are also lots of cheaper tickets for the Y-H game, and they also give one free ticket to every Yale student and employee.by Weder - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Hockey Jerseys? - 4 months ago
Trotsky ugarte Trotsky The replica jerseys aren't great unfortunately.no need to be so harsh this looks pretty sharp for a youth jersey I must admit that looks MUCH better than the ones I see at games. I hope they do an adult version. (That didn't sound right.) Related: When did New Balance get into making hockey jerseys?

Weder 5-1 win against Brown today. Izzy Daniel had a goal and an assist and has at least 2 points in every game this season. From the Athletics recap: The 8-0-1 record matches the best start in program history. Last accomplished in (sigh) 2019-20.by Weder - Hockey

Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 5 months ago
Local Motion The Syracuse indoor practice facility which is the exact same dimensions as their stadium field cost $14MM in 2015. OK add $5MM for inflation and construction costs and we are at $19MM. Meanwhile, I am on the board of a charter school that just built a beautiful new basketball arena with 800 seats, new men's and women's locker rooms, new fitness center, and three new science laboby Weder - Other Sports

Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 5 months ago
Trotsky Weder It's not in the linked article for some reason, but the link that the athletics department posted on Facebook has a rendering showing that the field hockey facility shifts to the west, behind Bartels Hall and closer to the Biotech Building, to make room for the indoor facility. (I missed the giant photo at the top of the article showing this) So is that directly across Tower Rd.by Weder - Other Sports
