Re: Elf on a phone - 4 years ago
I know this doesn't help the OP, but on iOS devices you can tap the AA in the url bar and use "Website Settings" to select always "Request Desktop Website." That has made ELF browsing much more enjoyable when I'm on my phone.by Willy '06 - Hockey
Re: Men's Basketball (2017-2018) - 6 years ago
ugarte There is a time and a place to complain about an Ivy basketball playoff but that time is not "the week that Cornell will be playing in the Ivy basketball playoff" and the place is not "a Cornell sports forum the week that Cornell will be playing in the Ivy basketball playoff". I thought that the time to complain in "a Cornell sports forum" was always. My badby Willy '06 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball (2017-2018) - 6 years ago
French Rage Previous years I thought the playoff was a dumb idea. Now for some reason I like it. Funny thing, that. Having a team that is 6-8 in Ivy play make the playoff is an excellent argument for why it's a dumb idea. However, if a 6-8 Ivy team is going to have a chance to steal two games and get into the NCAA tournament, it might as well be us.by Willy '06 - Other Sports
Re: The Greatest Game I Ever Played In - 7 years ago
We were watching in my now wife's Collegetown apartment with her roommates. I repositioned on the couch and accidentally sat on the remote. The channel changed, and when we quickly changed it back, Wisconsin was celebrating.by Willy '06 - Hockey
Re: no school for 2 days - 7 years ago
Dafatone We had a cancellation my senior year (2006-07) and I remember it being the first one in a decade or two. I'm probably wrong, though. It was Valentine's Day 2007. I had graduated, but was in town to visit my now wife. They didn't cancel classes until 12:30.by Willy '06 - Hockey

Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
I wonder if Kevin App might make sense down the road? He's a former CU basketball captain ('07), and he just landed the Head Coach job at Williams last summer after Assistant positions at Cornell and Army (under Spiker). His first season went okay, going 15-10 overall and 5-5 and in conference. It's probably a little early, but if Courtney gets fired after next season and App has a good season atby Willy '06 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Track Rises to #19 Ranking - 10 years ago
I lived in one of the track houses, though I was far from a track athlete. I graduated in 2006, and some of my roommates (either my year or the year after) won Heps 7 out of 8 times (indoor + outdoor). The track program has dominated the Ivy League for the last decade now.by Willy '06 - Other Sports

I went for Section 220 to optimize for both viewing angle and being close to the Cornell section. I'll be the guy in the ridiculous red and white striped blazer.

Re: Amateurism and College Sports - 12 years ago
KeithK Willy '06 I think we should start a college software engineering league. College students build us software for free, and we make lots of money selling it. They'll be willing participants for the sake of amateurism. Not an apt analogy. If CS students are good enough to generate marketable software that makes a lot of money they cna simply do it, indepedant of the schools. This even happenby Willy '06 - Other Sports

Re: Red Cast Really Sucks^2 - 12 years ago
What about something like a Kickstart campaign to improve the service? We all plug in what we want and how much we'd pay, and maybe that will get someone's attention. If the Athletics Department doesn't cooperate, then we push it to the Development Department. I think they could actually turn it into something good if they saw it as a fundraising tool.by Willy '06 - Hockey
