Re: Cornell lax 2014 post-mortem - 10 years ago
The only logical answer is the last answer. However, a fun poll should never offer an "I Don't Know" option. If you don't have an opinion then don't take the poll.by Roy 82 - Other Sports

Re: New Rules? - 10 years ago
There can be some significant departures to the basic rules that one might "bandy" around and yet it still seems like ice hockey to me: I am not sure what my point is but you gotta respect a sport that apparently includes an offical action called "stroke-off".by Roy 82 - Hockey

BMac Hey, it distracts from not being in the tournament. Also: UAH has a really cool looking rink! I like one of the comments to this video: "I would love to go back in time and put a composite in the hands of Bobby Hull. I guess I'd first kill baby Hitler if I harnessed the power of time travel, but Bobby Hull and a composite would be high on the list." It's good to haveby Roy 82 - Hockey

RichH Trotsky BearLover cbuckser TrotskyA large part of my evaluation of this year's team depends on tonight. Tonight will tell whether this is 2004 or 2006. I felt similarly going into last night's game, though I think 2009 or 2012 are better comps than 2006. One game is one game. And a flute with no holes is not a flute.

Re: The End of Ivy Hockey Competitiveness? - 10 years ago
RichH Trotsky I'm sure this has come up before, but would this have ever mattered? Has there ever been an Ivy that would make the FCS playoffs? Or are there conference auto bids? Don't be so sure. Recently, in the national poll... In 2003, Penn finished a 10-0 season ranked #12 in the national polls. In 2004, Harvard finished a 10-0 season ranked #14 Even this decade: 2010: 201by Roy 82 - Hockey
Re: 11/2 Quinnipiac - 10 years ago
Give My Regards Roy 82 I'll second that. I actually took a pole dancing class with my labmates as a work activity (along with aerial dance). It was extremely physically demanding.

Since when did Quinnipiac start holding classes? Cornell claims to be the place where you can find instruction in any study. But can you take pole dancing as a for credit course?

Re: Princeton - 10 years ago
redice Kyle Rose Trotsky Now, I don't think anybody here is going to argue against us recruiting much better players (except Ralph ), but I do not think the big issue against Yale was strategic failure. It was dealing with a ridiculously over-skilled opponent. I'm just not buying this. I think the issue is more that The System either wasn't or couldn't be adjusted to counter the game Yale playsby Roy 82 - Hockey

Rita dag14 Fiore's goals against were all scored with Cornell a man down. The radio comments suggested an extremely porous special-teams defense. There is clearly work to be done there. They just need to "stay outta the $*&# box". Sounds actually doing this is a problem for 18-24 year old male Cornellians.
