Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 5 weeks ago
Give My Regards Trotsky IIRC one of the two ties we got during The Troubles (0-10-2) would have been a win but the eejits cost us a penalty and Harvard scored the tying goal on powerplay. The one I can still remember was '95, the last one of that streak, when somebody heaved a fish onto the ice at the start of the second period. Minor was called and announced, and then Arthur read the no-throwby jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 5 weeks ago
Trotsky My order of precedence: 0. Cornell 1. Clarkson 2. Harvard (I know, sue me) 3. St. Lawrence 4. RPI 5. Dartmouth 5. Princeton 5. Yale 5. Colgate 5. Brown 10. Union 11. Quinnipiac I miss UVM, who would probably be 4.5 on that list.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 5 weeks ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 pmbblblaw Anyone know where the Cornell fan section will be at Lake Placid this year? Probably hasn't been assigned yet. They used to assign the four corners before the quarterfinals, but that was back when they had paper tickets, since the winners of the quarterfinal series could take the tickets with them.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: Alumni in the pros 23-24 - 7 weeks ago
Brianne Jenner '15 is on the roster for Canada in the upcoming IIHF Women's World Championship in Utica (only a 2 hour drive from Ithaca): Apparently, she also plays for Ottawa in the new Professional Women's Hockey League, which I just learned did not bother to choose nicknames or logos for its teams before starting play this season.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust - 8 weeks ago
billhoward jtwcornell91One time in my 30s I was nearly clotheslined by the bouncer at the Chapter House because it didn't occur to me that I would need to show my ID while strolling in the front door. There is a belief that some bars try to keep out people beyond their 20s, certainly their 30s, and they'll reject you for not having a license. The bouncer is told to say, "We treat everyone eqby jtwcornell91 - John Spencer Is Dead

Robb ugarte what a good feeling to come back to elynah to see that we didn't lose after having to turn it off (as opposed to turning it off in anger) down 2-0. obvs annoying that it hurts us in the pairwise but it's always fun to watch your guys come back for the tie than to blow a lead. we all contain multitudes.

RichH imafrshmn an incredible moral victory, if that's possible in any sense And honestly, getting a chance at the winner with the last faceoff (after the tying goal) showed me something. That was pretty fantastic, not giving up on the three points, even if it didn't work.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Trotsky jtwcornell91 RichH Dafatone My sanity versus these announcers is the battle now. You can absolutely lift a stick and keep it tied up for the half a second that a guy is trying to shoot. Now that the drunk uncles at Brown have been led out to pasture, these guys take the crown. The past 5 minutes have been about how the refs must live in Schafer’s guest house to get so many calls.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
Trotsky WederThey ring it for big hits in women’s games, too. Which is sort of interesting because those could in theory wind up being penalties.I was thinking that same thing during our game. What if there's a borderline hit on our guy and it's in review? That stupid bell ring might just be the psychological tip to the side of it being excessive. The bell has been there as long as I can remby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
RichH upprdeck iceing, lose a draw, allow a crazy angle shot and goal then give away in OT behind the net. Lots of things to go wrong to get a loss and why is Clarkon the place so many of them happen. As the game wore on, and we kept playing poorly, I could see this ending, because it's happened before.

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
Dafatone Surprised we didn't call time out before that face-off. Can you call time on an icing? I can't remember. That went off the center's hand and back. Not sure it's a hand pass. I was also wondering why we didn't call the TO there. Ironic to lose the lead on an icing right after two instances of waiting to gain the red line and then losing the puck before getting a shot at the emby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: Cornell's Sprint Football HC stepping down - 2 months ago
upprdeck ugarte i'm sure it's cool but very few schools play it so i struggle to care. it's not like wrestling where the diversity of weights is built into the format, since all of them wrestle together. i also wouldn't care about short-guy basketball. some schools play JV football as well. Back when the Ivies only let sophomores and up play varsity football, there was also Freshman Football.by jtwcornell91 - Other Sports
Re: NIL - 2 months ago
TimV It seems a key factor in this ruling was "compensation" the players (as employees) receive, even though previous rulings called them educational stipends. Those stipends weren't taxed. So do player's scholarships (academic as they are) now become taxable as remuneration/income? I think tuition payments are not taxable anyway. When I was in grad school I had to pay income tax oby jtwcornell91 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust - 2 months ago
Trotsky billhowardThere has to be a bar type for people down on their money and bar owners cutting corners on upkeep, bathroom cleaning, lighting, and the food. (Pickled eggs are a food.) Add a couple shady characters and you have the dive bar again. Even debutantes will stop in a couple times to see how the others live and maybe they spy a hunk who appears to have showered. Oh, definitely. Buby jtwcornell91 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust - 2 months ago
Cop at Lynah The Collegetown bar scene came under siege of the ABC board in the late 90's and continued through the early 2000's At that time Avarmis owned the most frequented bars in college town and his establishments were targeted for enforcement on many occasions by the ABC Board. I was part of those enforcement activities and the fines that the ABC Board doled out made it almost impossible fby jtwcornell91 - John Spencer Is Dead
