Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - polls 4/22 - Yesterday
lax punishes a weak schedule much more than hockey. a good ivy league that we are not dogshit in is more of an advantage than a good ecac is in hockey, imo. i still find the debate re: hockey tedious because it's essentially not susceptible of compelling proof either way.by ugarte - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Baseball 2024 - 5 days ago
dbilmes Cornell rallied from an 8-0 deficit to win Game 1 against Yale 10-9 in 10 innings on Saturday and went on to sweep the doubleheader. Cornell is 10-4 in the Ivies, only one game behind first-place Columbia. Cornell plays Yale again today and hosts Columbia for a three-game series next weekend. No one else is over .500 in the Ivy League.Unfortunately Cornell couldn't pull off the series sweby ugarte - Other Sports

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 7 days ago
There is literally no information that indicates Syer might be the next Cornell head coach. That Syer is interviewing elsewhere when Schafer sometimes suggests that he may be ready to retire soon indicates, if anything, the opposite. You aren't getting more information because adam has done everything but send you a letter with a wax seal that says "i heard this off the record and i'm not teby ugarte - Hockey

BearLover ugarte BearLover TBH, my guess is that your conclusion was based on faulty information or faulty assumptions, because you posted a pretty definitive statement of “X, Y, and Z won’t be Cornell’s next head coach” and didn’t offer any justification, and at this point I can’t really understand what this justification could be. I’m not sure if you’re being tight-lipped about it because you’rby ugarte - Hockey

Re: Wrestling 2024 Postseason - 8 days ago
Day 1 is underway. Here are the results so far. Consolation matches are worth winning because third place is officially a national team member, as second alternate, with a training stipend. Not everyone sticks around for it so you see a lot of consolation forfeits. ugarles George64 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials begin on Friday, 4/19, and will be streamed on Peacock. 4x NCAA champ and 2022by ugarte - Other Sports

Folks have been talking about him as if he still had a draft year.I think he is typically mentioned as a blue chip free agent.The conversation here has largely sprung from an unknown past comment that he had another year of draft eligibility.

George64 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials begin on Friday, 4/19, and will be streamed on Peacock. Vito Arujau '24, expected to wrestle at 57kg has dropped out. He said that the cut from the 133 he wrestled in college (or the 61kg he last wrestled internationally) was exacerbating the injuries he's been dealing with all year. He is going to bypass the Olympics at 57kg and instead stick with 61kgby ugarte - Other Sports

BearLover Swampy arugula BearLover Laughing at teams like BC/BU/NoDak/Quinnipiac losing just doesn’t hit the same when they’ve won national championships recently. (BU fans might try to claim 15 years is a long time, but to a Cornell fan it’s definitely not.) At the same time, each brutal loss by Cornell feels extra crushing because it’s been so long since we’ve won at hockey or lacrosse (“our spby ugarte - Hockey

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 17 days ago
Swampy I also think there's a great sense of accomplishment working one's way off the bench and onto the ice. I'd like to think everyone that Schafer recruits has this ethos that the journey is the destination.i also think there's some self-awareness that if you can't earn your way into the starting lineup in college you may not be the next jonathan quick and you adjust your expectations.by ugarte - Hockey

nshapiro billhoward nshapiro And I believe that winning the last two Ivy league games gets Cornell #1 seed in the tournament In a scenario where Penn and Cornell finish at 1 loss, everyone else has 2 losses, Cornell loses the H2H. Among the one-loss teams, Yale or Princeton will have one more loss on the final weekend (because they play each other). Ditto Penn or Princeton the weekend before, samby ugarte - Other Sports
