Re: Hopes for the weekend - 22 years ago
It's the truth. I don't have a specific source I can quote you, but having heard it directly from a high administration official at DC, I can confirm that at least someone in a position to know for sure has said so. They'd lose their tax-exempt status with the state of New Hampshire if they renamed themselves anything, much less "Dartmouth University." Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semis in NY/NJ - 22 years ago
Couldn't hurt to try calling them, Prong. I'll repeat for your benefit: Blondies on W. 79th has been accomodating in the past when asked in advance. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: LP-Accommodations, etc. - 22 years ago
Most of our rather large group is staying at the Woodlake Inn - not the most luxurious digs in town but close to the main strip, and the most fabulous cancellation policy in the universe. Many thanks to Mr. Dickerson for steering me to their website. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey

I had similar problems, and I was watching the game in person at Lynah. Could've been Vicodin after-effects, I suppose. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: COTY - 22 years ago
The theory that year was that a first-year coach "never" wins COTY... but then of course in 1997 Stan Moore won it in his first season at Union, so we all knew that excuse in '96 was pretty much bullsh*t. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey

Grrr. You had to point out my typo, eh Beeeej? *shrug* It's 1:30 in the morning and it actually took me a few seconds to figure out why you were disparaging the "Yale brand." My fault, not yours. Bee3eejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Yale v. Cornell - 3/8/02 - 22 years ago
Why can everyone score against Yale (2nd most GA in the conference) except us? Because they're faster than we are, as are many other ECAC teams. We simply have the size and the depth to compensate and wear the other teams down; as has been said before, over a two or three-game stretch Yale won't keep up with us. It wouldn't shock me at all for Saturday's game to be a goal-fest for Cornell (knoby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Sat.'s game in NYC. - 22 years ago
Blondie's on W. 79th is a great place for it; they have the best wings in the city (though that's not saying much), and as long as you call in advance, they're willing to put any reasonable sporting event on at least one television. I watched the Cornell-Colgate game there last season, and we had only three people. Of course it might be a little tougher during a weekend full of college basketbaby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: At Large Bid to NCAAs? - 22 years ago
Not to belabor the point, but JTW, it's entirely possible (though not likely) for losing this weekend to mean we went 0-2 in the playoffs. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: PSA: Do not climb over seemless glass - 22 years ago
For my money, the best was the QF win over Hahvahd in 1990. Bandie Jeff Weintraub was on the ice waving the enormous red & white flag within three seconds of the final buzzer. Hey, maybe that's why Cleary stormed his team off the ice without waiting for the handshakes. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: When did we get a new coach... - 22 years ago
At my urging (and I suspect at others') they've made most of the necessary corrections. I would still not refer to Schafer's first two seasons as 1995 and 1996, though, especially since the tournament championships themselves were in 1996 and 1997. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: NCAA Rules - 22 years ago
Offsides - A player in full control of the puck who crosses the blue line ahead of the puck shall not be considered offside. ECAC officials seem particularly ignorant about this one, and it happens at least once a season; a player skates backwards into the zone in full control of the puck, the puck crosses the line after him, and he gets called offsides. If I can keep most of the rules in my heby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Championship gear - 22 years ago
Okay... he said something about a smaller production run being more expensive, and Ivy champ sweatshirts always selling fewer than general sweatshirts. But he also offered me a 15% off coupon, which actually makes it $33.96, less than the other, regularly priced sweatshirts. Use the code "winter02" in the coupon field when ordering (I imagine it works when ordering anything). I wondeby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Championship gear - 22 years ago
Heh... well, I seem to have gotten them to add a sweatshirt by requesting it - but they're charging $39.95 for it when other sweatshirts are $34.95. Maybe that's 'cause they figure it's a guaranteed sale. Anyway, I've asked why the price hike, so please wait until I get an answer from him before ordering one... don't give them the impression that charging $5 extra is okay. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: At what point... - 22 years ago
You've got your venues reversed. They tied us at the Whale (after we scored less than a minute in, they kept us scoreless for the remaining 59+ minutes) and we beat them at Lynah. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: I wasn't gonna post this but.... - 22 years ago
Frankly, I just think it's wonderful that the team has done so well this year that our most urgent priorities seem to be pissing each other off, being right, and having the last word. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: sun article 03/05/02 - 22 years ago
Nope, that booing incident was seven or eight years ago. The one time I announced men's hockey was a Red/White, and the crowd was quite forgiving - a tall order, since nobody had reminded me that the periods and penalties are different lengths in an intrasquad scrimmage. I did get to PA announce that incredible lax win over Syracuse two years ago, though. I nearly knocked over all the equby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: sun article 03/05/02 - 22 years ago
The mere fact that (I believe) only two people have been the regular PA announcer for Cornell men's hockey since Lynah opened makes the job special. Individuals can be as indifferent as they like to this particular part of Lynah tradition, but Arthur's presence seems to be important enough to the Faithful that they have been known to boo mercilessly when someone lesser fills in.

Re: sun article 03/05/02 - 22 years ago
Best quote in the article: "We don't have any banners," said senior defenseman Brian McMeekin. "And that's what it comes down to." It's also the least accurate. Though it's probably the lowest priority banner we raise, we've already secured the Ivy Champs banner for the season. Beeeejby Beeeej - Hockey
