Re: USCHO's Midwest Regional Preview - 12 years ago
From today's Detroit Free Press: Berenson said Cornell reminds him of a CCHA team. The Big Red is led by 5-foot-9, 180-pound sophomore goaltender Andy Iles (2.13 GAA, .918 save percentage). "If they were in our league, they'd be right there with the top teams in our league," Berenson said. ... Berenson didn't answer a question about what he was doing with his top-two lines, but someby ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: NC$$ Regionals_Going to Green Bay v. Michigan - 12 years ago
Having gone to Michigan for grad school, I think this is just too subtle an analysis. The football rivalry with tOSU is huge with the fan base, no matter what the sport. Playing the Ohio State fight song will have a bigger impact than either the Notre Dame or MSU tune. Go band! I'm looking forward to hearing it on the broadcast.by ninian '72 - Hockey

Nice article in the Washington Post on former Red quarterback Bill Lazor, the new offensive coordinator at UVA. He has his work cut out for him.by ninian '72 - Other Sports

Thanks for posting this. One of the easiest and most important acts we can take to help anyone with this and related diseases is to join the National Bone Marrow Registry. Joining is a very simple process, and you can save a life. Don't think you can't make a difference. Please check out the procedure at the following URL: National Bone Marrow Registryby ninian '72 - Hockey

Re: Coulter v. Olbermann: The Real Cornell - 15 years ago
jtwcornell91Olbermann is wrong about an Aggie being able to take "just as many courses" in endowed colleges as an Artsie, though. IIRC statutory college students can take no more that half of their courses in endowed colleges. Got to get some benefit for that extra tuition. The university has eliminated that restriction in recent years. Olbermann may still be wrong if he's referringby ninian '72 - John Spencer Is Dead

sah67When was the last time we had a player who, at a mighty 5'6" and 167 lbs, led the team in PIMs more than halfway through the season? I'm guessing that Kevin Pettit probably shares this honor.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: Cornell 2 UND 1 Postgame - 15 years ago
Haven't been able to find any confirmation about the Northeastern rink either, but did find some mention of Dartmouth playing both themselves and Cornell. Ned Harkness refused to allow the film makers to use Cornell jerseys unless Cornell won the game in the film. Interesting additional trivia - Bill Cleary was Ryan O'Neal's stand-in (skate-in?), and Joe Bertagna was in goal for Harvard.by ninian '72 - Hockey

Re: OT: Verizon Wireless to watch streaming video. - 16 years ago
Good suggestion about HowardForums. I checked into this issue awhile ago, and if you suspect you'll surpass the 5gb limit, you can purchase a separate broadband service from them that doesn't have this limitation. Verizon does enforce this limit by terminating your service, probably as a way to push you into buying the additional broadband service. I don't recall whether you can purchase this monby ninian '72 - Hockey

Re: BU Postgame - 16 years ago
ursusminor Edit: Games vs. the Caps in their first few years don't count. You could probably say that as well today. I was at the Caps game that preceded Hanlon being fired, and, compared to that fiasco, the Red effort at MSG looked pretty decent.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: Ivy football / Cornell football future - 16 years ago
You're right about that. At the end of the Georgetown game, a few old bandies determinedly sang Cornell Vic anyway, with the current band seemingly confused about what it was.by ninian '72 - Other Sports

Re: Romano update - 16 years ago
For what it's worth, Hunter later admitted that he'd gone way too far in his hit on Turgeon and was a decent guy off the ice. He was once described as a player who would and did do just about anything to win, reflected by his 4300 career penalty minutes.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: Romano update - 16 years ago
Ditto on the Hunters. Dale was an aggressive defenseman for the Capitals for a number of years and played with a lot of heart. He clearly understands that part of the game. I can't imagine he'd put up with a selfish, one-dimensional game from Romano.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: 9/29/07: football at Georgetown - 16 years ago
Thanks for the heads-up. I talked to them today, and they said it would be tight, but there should be no problems buying tickets. I'm more comfortable with getting there early.by ninian '72 - Other Sports

Correct. The band will be in DC: Big Red Band Alumni Association Thanks to my daughter - who decided she'd rather come home than have us attend Parents Weekend at William and Mary - I'll be there. Football had nothing to do with her decision, but I owe here a big one.by ninian '72 - Other Sports
CSTV in DC - 16 years ago
For long-suffering Comcast customers in the DC area, some good news: As part of the channel rebuild being rolled out in a number of communities, Comcast has included CSTV as one of their digital channels. I assume we'll have to pay a premium - no specific information yet from Comcast - but we'll have an alternative to staring at monitor screens on Friday nights.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: Coyotes Re-sign LeNeveu - 16 years ago
It's off season and all, but we really don't need a cellular flamefest here, do we? I just threw in the towel on Cingular/AT&T, because I was fed up with their drop-outs, but it really just depends on where you are.by ninian '72 - Hockey
Re: Anyone walking to the game? Restaurants? - 16 years ago
If you want to stay in the Inner Harbor area, try Phillips (seafood). It has several branches throughout the Bal/DC area, but it's a local company. However, for a more authentic crab house atmosphere, Obrycki's is the place to go. It's on Pratt, east of the Inner Harbor. Note that they'll be closed on Monday. For crab rookies: beer is a must. Otherwise, the salt content of the crabs and Oldby ninian '72 - Other Sports

Re: WHY CORNELL WILL NO LONGER DOMINATE THE ECAC - 17 years ago
I suspect Schafer had something additional up his sleeve, but we won't get to see it this year. The defense first approach works better on smaller rinks, but I'm eager to see what happens when the new forwards have an opportunity to play on larger western ice surfaces. Having that kind of speed in Minnesota just might have made the difference.by ninian '72 - Hockey
