Re: Ivy Track Recruiting - 14 years ago
Thanks for the well wishes. Next year if you want to cut through Barton and there is a track meet in progress, and there are people wearing green uniforms with a large D on them, go to the throwers cage and say hi to Corinne. I know what you mean about cutting through Barton. To get from my U-Hall to Teagle for practice I would walk through the Campus Store, Statler, Barton, and across the sby Scott Kominkiewicz - Other Sports
Re: Ivy Track Recruiting - 14 years ago
Three years ago I posted this in reference to my daughter. (I re-discovered this on a Google search.) I got my answer, and it is yes. She will be throwing for Dartmouth in the fall. I'm very proud of her, although I wish she wound up at Cornell. I can't argue much about her choice though.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Other Sports
Re: Cornell at Princeton. Any info? - 14 years ago
I've gotten my share of free tickets and heavily discounted tix at Baker Rink as well. Just hang around the ticket booth area and look like you need tickets. Look out for people giving them away or trying to dump extras.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey

Ivy Track Recruiting - 17 years ago
If all continues well, one of my children may be a recruited track and field athlete. I have some questions that I hope some of my Cornell sports brethren can help with. Of course, Ivies can't offer scholarships, but I know that some teams have the advantage of admissions preference for a limited number of their recruits. Do you know if Cornell or the other Ivy track programs get a few goldby Scott Kominkiewicz - Other Sports
Re: Mel Kiper on Kevin Boothe - 17 years ago
> Also, as we all know, the league had a legitimate Heisman candidate in 1971. < What about Yale's Rich Diana in 1981? Consequently, that was the last year that Ivy League football was Div. 1-A. When Yale came to Schoellkopf that year to play us on homecoming, they were 8-0, and I believe ranked in the top 20. A loss to Princeton at the end of the season took them out of the rankings.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Other Sports
Embassy Inn on Dryden Rd.? - 17 years ago
Is the Embassy Inn on Dryden Rd. a decent place to stay? I originally thought that it was the Embassy Suites thanks to an error made by Yahoo Yellow Pages, but the owner told me over the phone that it is the Embassy "Inn." Is it clean and a little spacious? Can you rate it on the following scale: Hillside Inn = 1 pt. Statler = 100 pts. Where does the Embassy Inn fit on this scby Scott Kominkiewicz - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Bill Gates Hall > goodbye Hoy Field? - 18 years ago
Hoy Field?! I remember when Cornell destroyed the JV baseball field adjacent to Lynah the summer of my freshman year (1980). Can't say that I like to see ballfields go by the wayside.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Other Sports

Re: Cornell at Princeton postgame thread 1/14/06 - 18 years ago
From the Princeton sports website: Leroux made 35 saves on Saturday against Cornell to become the first Princeton goaltender to blank the Big Red in 42 years. Not exactly history I had hoped to witness.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey
Re: Cornell at Princeton postgame thread 1/14/06 - 18 years ago
At least Princeton's organist was pretty cool. Anything is better than the canned music they used to play. I especially thought it was funny when he (or she?) played "Kashmir" and "Sympathy for the Devil." As smart as Princeton folks are supposed to be, I can't believe that the rink folks there put up white narrow-gauge netting to protect spectators in the balcony. Thanby Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey
OT -- Fans on the field - 18 years ago
I just viewed a video clip of a fan running on the field of a Packers game and running away with the ball. Not surprisingly, he was tackled by security personnel. Granted, any spectator who jumps on any field and interrupts play is a wrong-doer, but why do players and security types seemingly always tackle the culprit? It looks like assault to me. I'd love to see one of these spectatoby Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey

> And that was pretty much the last gasp of Ivy League football greatness before the Ivies were demoted to Division IAA at the close of the decade. < Bill, I enjoyed your post about the achievements of Marinaro and their place in NCAA football lore. Small correction in that the Ivies were doomed to Division 1-AA in 1982. I remember being a benchsitter on the 1981 team, the last year ofby Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey

Re: Interesting NCAA mascot policy - 18 years ago
> Not all schools with Indian-related nicknames would be on that list. NCAA officials said some schools using the Warrior nickname do not use Indian symbols and would not be affected. < What about that first post about "hostile or abusive" nicknames or mascots? Warriors isn't a hostile word? Isn't the root word "war"? (Maybe I'm just too tired and punchy to get it.)by Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey
Re: Good Places to Eat Post Game? - 18 years ago
Nobody mentioned the Souvlaki House. My wife and I only make it up for hockey once a year, and we've hit Souvlaki House a few times after games. Love the food. Some of the hockey players liked to eat there after games too. Last year we went to Chili's after a Clarkson playoff game and the joint was crawling with their fans and players. That's what I get for staying on the Rt. 13 strip.by Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey

Re: Attendance: lacrosse vs. hockey at Cornell - 18 years ago
Being a parent of 4 active kids, I rarely attend collegiate sports. When they were younger and not involved with their own teams, we would frequently attend college football, basketball, and hockey games, and sometimes lacrosse. But now, we're overwhelmed with practices and games. Including coaching, practices, and training sessions, I've calculated that our family has about 450 sporting-eventby Scott Kominkiewicz - Hockey
