Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - Yesterday
They are seniors or others who have exhausted their Ivy League eligibility as of the end of 2024. They are looking to go to grad school and play another year.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: ECAC 2024 Discussion Thread - 2 days ago
Hindsight is always 20/20 -- what I remember from those days is marveling at how little anyone actually knew about the virus and the consequences of group behavior. It was perfectly acceptable to me to go into isolation even when it was difficult to do and painful. Because the worst-case scenario was being dead, and I will take unhappy over dead any day of the week. So looking back, a lot ofby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell v Colgate, 12/02/23 - 2 days ago
Can't remember the season because I am old but at one point in the 80's we were 0-5 going into the break and then won 20 games in the spring. It isn't over until the season ends. Happy Holidays. Enjoy your time with family, etc.by dag14 - Hockey

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a Cornell player score on a penalty shot! Way to go Sullivan Mack!by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Wrestling 2023-24 - 3 days ago
Tuned into day 2 a little late; got confused about the start time. My initial observation watching Cornella wrestle: I HATE THOSE SINGLETS! The design reminds me of Ithaca High School athletic apparel. Too "cute" for grown men .by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: New Cornell football coach search - 7 days ago
rss77 Re-Ag School comment-Apparently Bob Blackman had the same idea. I attended a meeting where then Ag School Dean, Keith Kennedy, gave a talk. He said that Blackman approached him about using the Ag School to bring in football players. Kennedy said he literally threw him out of his office. Any coach who is recruiting in New York will use the Ag School. And ILR and Human Ecology. With noby dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 17 days ago
I am again enjoying the game on ESPN+ but after yesterday, I am not going to post anything of note other than to say the 1st period has ended and Cornell's second goal, scored late in the period, was a thing of beauty.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Wrestling 2023-24 - 17 days ago
Cornell blows away Sacred Heart 48-3 -- 45 minutes from start to finish including intros and national anthem. No match at 125, no halftime, and barely any breaks between matches.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 18 days ago
I am going to quit posting since Q just scored as the have controlled possession in the 2nd period.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 18 days ago
The crappy camera work continues as the women host Q. As for the play, I think Q is the best team we have seen so far, especially their goaltending. We have had the better of the play as the 2nd period gets underway but can't get a puck past her.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 24 days ago
And as I was typing, Izzy scored even strength. So 4-0by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 24 days ago
And another ppg about halfway through the 3rd period. We can't score even strength but we are 3-3 on the power play.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 24 days ago
2-0 after another ppg. I have the sound muted so no clue who scored but Izzy had the perfect pass assist.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 24 days ago
Women up 1-0 with a ppg about 5 minutes into the 2nd period. Fraiser in goal - not sure why - but she is holding her own. Either Dartmouth is way better than Harvard or we are not playing with the same intensity as yesterday. Some sloppy play. We scored on Dartmouth's first penalty and we just killed our own first penalty.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: 11/10 Dartmouth game thread - 25 days ago
I now live in Denver so I have to rely on what the camera shows but I was in Lynah for almost every home game until 2018. My comment was merely a reaction to the announcer's characterization of the attendance, not a judgement. People show up late. Now in the second period, most of those empty seats are gone.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 25 days ago
I forgot about the Coach Stone scandal. Tough for the players but I can't help it: hee, hee, hee.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: 11/10 Dartmouth game thread - 25 days ago
One of the announcers commented on how many people are at the game and how great it is to see the support. Since I see some empty seats, I am guessing attendance at the last home weekend wasn't great.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 25 days ago
5-0 after 2. Harvard is just bad. It is wonderful.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Jerseys? - 27 days ago
MY son wears the jersey I gave him for Christmas to play adult hockey in the Chicago area. The pinnacle of his hockey career was winning a state championship for Ithaca High School in the 90's but his jersey looked so authentic -- quality fabric, ECAC patch, the dings that come with playing time -- that someone asked him if he had played for Cornell. He said grinned the rest of the night. Iby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Jerseys? - 27 days ago
I bought a REAL Cornell hockey jersey at the annual used equipment sale held by the Athletics Department 5 or 6 years ago. Here is the article from spring, 2022: ITHACA, N.Y. -- After a COVID-19 hiatus, the annual Athletic Department Garage Sale will take place on Thursday and Friday, March 10-11 12 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Grumman Squash Court Building across from Teagle Hall.

Re: game chat on slack (invite inside) - 29 days ago
When I retired from my Cornell job, I started spending a lot of the winter in Florida, which is why I really appreciated the chat. It wasn't the same as standing at a game and talking with the people around me about the play. But in some ways it was better because most of the people on the chat have a better sense of humor that some of my Lynah cohorts. And a better perspective on Cornell hockby dag14 - Hockey
Re: game chat on slack (invite inside) - 30 days ago
And all because I said I missed the eLynah chat. Why can't that be resuscitated? Forgive me my ignorance if there was an obvious issue or an announcement that accompanied the discontinuation that I missed. My excuse is that I am getting old and am not as sharp as I used to be.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Brown, 11/04/23 - 4 weeks ago
When I accessed the Lynah chat during a game, I also had the forum open in a different window. The real time dialogue of the chat was the next best thing after sitting at a game with a friend and commenting on the action. That is what I miss in its absence. And because it was a discreet community, it was really like having a conversation with friends. Unlike Twitter or X or whatever.by dag14 - Hockey
