BearLover upprdeck seeing the loss numbers for Dryden and Cropper is just so insane. Galajda also insane. He would have the all time wins record if not for COVID. Dryden and Cropper only played varsity for three years, too. I saw one freshmen game where Ken played forward. It was abundantly clear why he was a goalie!by George64 - Hockey
Re: Cornell admissions - 5 weeks ago
Headline in today's NYT - After a Year of Turmoil, Harvard’s Applications Drop. Cornell’s 5139 admitted students represent 50 states plus Washington, D.C., Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico, as well as 93 countries. Based on citizenship, admitted students represent 107 countries outside the United States.by George64 - John Spencer Is Dead

mountainred This may be more of a next year topic, but Harvard Fr. Malin Mack has entered the transfer portal. He was the ROY, so this is big loss to them. Penn Fr.

ER Wow those are some bold, completely unsubstantiated projections. I was in the Greek system and never knew of or saw anyone “doing coke” at a party. I don’t even think it was a thing when I was in school. Way to perpetuate the rumors that all Greeks like to do is party though. When I was a Greek, coke was something you mixed with rum to get your date drunk. Seriously though, while thereby George64 - Hockey
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 weeks ago
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.by George64 - Other Sports
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 5 weeks ago
I, for one, have fond memories of Lake Placid. I was there in 1970, when we completed our 27-O-0 season by besting Clarkson 6-4 in the NCAA finals, after beating Wisconsin 2-1 in the semis. We met and chatted with Dick Bertrand, who was ineligible to play, while in town. We reserved hotel rooms shortly after Cornell’s first ECAC game at Lynah, we looked that good! BTW, Clarkson was still Clby George64 - Hockey

Women’s game is at 2, men’s at 7. Leave Ithaca at noon, leave Hamilton around 4:30ish. Check hoops on your tablet. Lax isn’t until Sunday.by George64 - Hockey

Re: NCAA NIL/Subdivision Proposal - 7 weeks ago
Weder A look at NIL and the Ivies from the Washington Post, using Harvard basketball player Malik Mack as the example of a player whose future in the league is uncertain. Gift link: I don’t know about Malik, but if someone offered me $25k at the end of my freshman year (present value $259k) to transfer to, say Stoney Brook, I’d have said goodbye to Ithaca. Of course, I would have had no wayby George64 - Other Sports

Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 8 weeks ago
ugarteUPSET!! EIWA tournament started today. Great morning session. 174: Benny Baker WMD Jack Janda (Drexel), 15-7. Great start for Baker. He faces the 1 seed next, which isn't likely to go well for him, but he's in a position where he's got a very winnable match if he loses for a trip to NCAAs. A takedown at the buzzer turned this into a major decision win. Very nice.by George64 - Other Sports

Ithaca is a beautiful college town and nice for families, so we hope she is enjoying her job at Cornell. Go Big Red! She’s been terrific! I like that she communicaby George64 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
Sometimes, I think that in an effort to be more objective, we’ve replaced sound judgement with pernicious metrics. Case in point, we’ve replaced “smoke-filled” rooms with unrepresentative primaries, and look what we got, but I digress. Back to important stuff. Some teams start slowly and peak at the right time, others peak too early. Tournament inclusion and seedings should take accountby George64 - Hockey
