Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - Today
BearLover ugarte BearLover TBH, my guess is that your conclusion was based on faulty information or faulty assumptions, because you posted a pretty definitive statement of “X, Y, and Z won’t be Cornell’s next head coach” and didn’t offer any justification, and at this point I can’t really understand what this justification could be. I’m not sure if you’re being tight-lipped about it because you’rby ugarte - Hockey

Day 1 is underway. Here are the results so far. Consolation matches are worth winning because third place is officially a national team member, as second alternate, with a training stipend. Not everyone sticks around for it so you see a lot of consolation forfeits. ugarles George64 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials begin on Friday, 4/19, and will be streamed on Peacock. 4x NCAA champ and 2022by ugarte - Other Sports

Trotsky arugulaAh, ok. Folks have been talking about him as if he still had a draft year.I think he is typically mentioned as a blue chip free agent.The conversation here has largely sprung from an unknown past comment that he had another year of draft eligibility. I, for one, had been assuming that he was draft eligible based on that comment, subsequent conversation and my own customary lack ofby ugarte - Hockey

billhoward arugula ugarte nothing dumber than a post tournament poll yes, but I'm grasping Dumb would also be not doing the poll. Gives the voters a chance to seed differently from how the brackets turn out, to upvote somebody who was really good and ran into a buzzsaw early in the tournament. In another bracket, they might have gone further. Where would Denver have been seeded if one of those UMby ugarte - Hockey

George64 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials begin on Friday, 4/19, and will be streamed on Peacock. Vito Arujau '24, expected to wrestle at 57kg has dropped out. He said that the cut from the 133 he wrestled in college (or the 61kg he last wrestled internationally) was exacerbating the injuries he's been dealing with all year. He is going to bypass the Olympics at 57kg and instead stick with 61kgby ugarte - Other Sports

BearLover Swampy arugula BearLover Laughing at teams like BC/BU/NoDak/Quinnipiac losing just doesn’t hit the same when they’ve won national championships recently. (BU fans might try to claim 15 years is a long time, but to a Cornell fan it’s definitely not.) At the same time, each brutal loss by Cornell feels extra crushing because it’s been so long since we’ve won at hockey or lacrosse (“our spby ugarte - Hockey

Swampy I also think there's a great sense of accomplishment working one's way off the bench and onto the ice. I'd like to think everyone that Schafer recruits has this ethos that the journey is the destination.i also think there's some self-awareness that if you can't earn your way into the starting lineup in college you may not be the next jonathan quick and you adjust your expectations.by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 14 days ago
nshapiro billhoward nshapiro And I believe that winning the last two Ivy league games gets Cornell #1 seed in the tournament In a scenario where Penn and Cornell finish at 1 loss, everyone else has 2 losses, Cornell loses the H2H. Among the one-loss teams, Yale or Princeton will have one more loss on the final weekend (because they play each other). Ditto Penn or Princeton the weekend before, samby ugarte - Other Sports

Basse was replaced as the No. 1 guy for St. Cloud in the last couple months of the season, by a freshman. He faced the prospect of playing very little next season at St. CloudIm not saying it was a wierd choice for him to leave but that iby ugarte - Hockey

Re: ECAC Early and Grad Departures 2024 - 16 days ago
upprdeck If they IVY is all about the degree you would think letting Grad students play would be a student first thing. Its really counter to what they stand for that kids would skip semesters can come back and play but kids who graduate can't.I think they probably have a pretty clear vision of the kind of graduate work that is required of 5th year athletes outside of the Ivies.by ugarte - Hockey

Give My Regards There is also something called a "medical redshirt" ... Ivies don't have the traditional redshirt, but the medical redshirt can be granted.

Re: ECAC Early and Grad Departures 2024 - 17 days ago
George64 ugarte George64 My understanding of “red shirting” is that athletes matriculate, practice with their team for a year or two, but not play, but take some classes to ease their academic burden during their following four playing years.
