Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - Yesterday
jeff '84 ugarte Holy cow RIT cuts it to 3-2, 4:39 left in the second. Ugh. BU comes right back. 4-2, 3 mins left in second. One moment of lack of hustle from an RIT forward.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 5 days ago
ugarte We do have Fernandez (Top 15-20 at 149), Shapiro (3d place at 157), Ramirez (3x one match short of AA at 165) and Foca (3d place in 2023 at 174, just short at 184) returning. We have some talented freshmen coming in, particularly Simon Ruiz at 174, but the real reinforcements come for the 25-26 season. Neat. My lasting dislike for Andy Noel notwithstanding, I do hope that wrestling can eby Scersk '97 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 days ago
ugarteScersk '97Nobody can convince me that basketball exists.You missed a fun season! I know, I know. But we don't have the resources to compete in Moneyball, whether the pigskin version or squeakball version. For the latter, it saps all the life from it for me; for the former, at least the Ivies very early on separated from the rest and did their own thing. It's not great, but it's at least sby Scersk '97 - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 5 days ago
ugarte Everything coming up Cornell today! Not only does Vito beat Fix and the NCAA officiating crew, but Henson takes out Gomez at 149, so Cornell finishes in 2nd place! Fantastic! I must admit that I don't follow very closely. Are we a deep team or a young team? Any chinks in the armor of the Penn State juggernaut? Quite a kick in the head that the mantle passed from Iowa to Penn Stateby Scersk '97 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 days ago
George64 mountainred Over on the basketball-u board, a Princeton poster asserted that the W&M hoops budget is twice that of Cornell's (2mil+ v. 1mil+). So, Brian probably got a nice raise and access to more resources and is in charge of the clear #1 winter sport there. Until Ned arrived, basketball was the premier winter sport. That’s no longer true, and probably won’t be again. Noby Scersk '97 - Other Sports

Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 6 days ago
adamw For the record, I support LP for the ECAC Tournament - even though getting to Albany, and especially Atlantic City (or MSG/Barclays/Pru) were FAR easier for me to get to personally. AC was a 1-hour drive from where I used to live, and LP is 6 hours, often on bad conditions on Rte. 30. But I don't care - I always gladly made that drive.

Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 6 days ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Scersk '97 Loved the moment deep in the third where our guys pinned it against the wall in the Dartmouth end for a good 45 seconds. Old time hockey. Except in the old days they would have whistled it dead after 15 seconds. Ehhh, depends on how old time we're talking. I remember quite a few scrums during my undergrad and early alum days that were let to play out for quite a biby Scersk '97 - Hockey

Iceberg SLU PP goal is good after the refs deemed that a clear as day spear was actually a slash that warranted 2 minutes and not 5 Spearing in a semifinal. How QU. Brilliant.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 10 days ago
I, for one, would welcome a field of SLU, Clarkson, RPI, and us. Much prefer SLU and RPI to Harvard. Would be rockin’. Considering how bad RPI has been, I start to wonder when it will ever happen again.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Quinnipiac I mostly agree, but I hate seeing Princeton, as they have this weird tendency to win in their rare appearances.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 12 days ago
French Rage Beeeej Incidentally, this particular combination of four teams has never before been in the ECAC semis, Lake Placid or not. Q’s history in the conference may be relatively brief, but it’s also already twenty years. I was going to say that Dartmouth's fault for making it less frequently, but the most common 3-of-4 for this 4 appears to be DC/QU/SLU in 2007 and 2016, so it's on us.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Friday - 13 days ago
Just watched a little bit of the end. Shane was slashing the crap out of Karpa to move him out of the crease, yet Karpa kept backing into him. Hence, the gloves and shoves at the end. (Would be nice if refs would call a crease violation here or there. I remember those being called more often once upon a time. But I suppose it doesn't involve contact to the head, which is the only thing anybody caby Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: 2024 Awards - 13 days ago
Trotsky I can't remember too many times when the All-ECAC and All-Rookie teams contained nobody from Harvard or Clarkson. This, this, this. Usually a Crimson-fest, because they're all undeniable blue chippahs. And, on a more detailed note, how does Union keep picking up these solitary fantastic blueliners?

Re: Cornell v Union - 23 days ago
RichH I’d just like to point out that our common fandom relies on two sites that were designed more or less when html frames (and Jason Elliott) were pretty great. It’s a bit endearing at this point. I can think of another site that is a similarly endearing time capsule of Internet 1.0… Indeed, someone (never me) should create a Webring of such sites.

VIEWfromK sah67 VIEWfromK I’m guessing that Bancroft learned a pretty important lesson today. Luckily all that it cost them was a shutout. I saw him storm off down the tunnel after the RPI goal…I thought it was an injury situation, but I’m guessing he was the one responsible for the giveaway that led to the goal?
