Trotsky Scersk '97 Gutting. What a loss to the community. To pay off the surely mounting debts, I say Cornell buys some buildings and moves them, brick by brick, to replace some of our more horrific structures.Just raze everything built since 1930.

upprdeck whats a 4 way tie look like? A mess? We'd have a 2 wins against the top 4 (Princeton, Yale) Yale would have 1 win against the top 4 (Penn) Penn would have 1 win against the top 4 (us) Princeton would have 2 wins against the top 4 (Penn, Yale) I'm not 100% sure how they'd decide it, but if they eliminate the two 1-win teams, and then compare the H2H of the two 2-win teams, we wby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

George64 billhoward The only one that was worth a smile was after Ryan Goldstein tied the game: "Not only is he skinny as a chimney sweep, but he's got the hands of a mohel." That line reminded me of one of the truly great SNL ad parodies. The actual ad extolled the smooth ride of a Lincoln by showing a diamond cutter practicing his craft in the backseat.

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 5 weeks ago
billhoward Jeff Hopkins '82 One last thought for completeness. If both Cornell and Princeton win out, we win the H2H with Princeton. Princeton winning out means they beat Penn 4/20 and Yale 4/27. Right, but we'd both have have one loss, which means we win the tie-breaker. Just a different tie scenario to be considered.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

BearLover Let’s assume, as has generally been the case the past few seasons, that (1) Cornell doesn’t gain anybody from the portal, (2) Cornell doesn’t lose anyone to the portal, (3) the blue bloods/top power conference schools and Quinnipiac are clear net winners from the portal and (4) most of the rest of the NCAA are clear net losers from the portal.

It's primarily the self-absorption of Bostonians. BC students are likely to be locals.

Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
Related to something I noticed in tonight's broadcast. They had a couple key facts that they just kept repeating and repeating and repeating. The Wisconsin goalie was a Richter nominee.
