After her retirement becomes official, 3/8 Ivy presidents will have the “interim” label, and who knows what will happen at Columbia. It’s a fun time to be in the pool of candidates at that level. Maybe this is our chance to increase the Ivy game limit & hockey season start time!by RichH - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Bye-bye Ben - 4 days ago
Trotsky RichH Swampy Also, since Ben oversaw recruiting, have any recruits coming in 2024 changed their minds? What about those lined up for 2025 or 2026? My guess is that recruits are typically sold on the program and the head coach, not the recruiter/associate coach.

CU2007] I had the same complaint and thought, but was told the fireworks are funded by a private donation specifically for that use. I have no way of knowing if this is true. Image if that private entity put that money towards a donation pool to renovate Schoellkopf to modern standards rather than a mass of gunpowder that goes up in smoke. There used to be a homecoming parade, too. Surelby RichH - Other Sports

billhoward RichH billhoward We still have the Ivies' best homecoming fireworks. Friday 9/27 before the Yale game. Maybe I'll stream The Miracle Worker to get in a positive mood. Sorry, but I just don't understand the fireworks show. I've gone to a lot of homecoming weekends, and I've never had a desire to go to that.

Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 30 days ago
rss77 Goldstein had a bit of a rough game with a couple of turnovers-we forget this is only his 5th or 6th game. Also Notre Dame seemed to be winning groundballs late in game-but Cornell proved they belong up there with the best. Give him credit for that sharp-angle goal coming from behind the cage to tie the game at 13(?). That was amazing.by RichH - Other Sports

billhoward 1) You sound like a cranky old man. Do you yell, "Hey, you kids get off my lawn"? But ... 2) Yeah, you're right. 3) His bio notes Richter played 666 games in the NHL so it could have been the Mark of the Best Award. He won second place in the Vezina Trophy in his second year. He only played two years at Wisconsin, 33-25-1. Let's see, Ken Dryden went 76-4-1 at Cornell. Heby RichH - Hockey
Re: 2024 Awards - All-America Shane 2nd team - 4 weeks ago
Mike Richter wouldn’t have won the Mike Richter award. The highest accolade he achieved in college was 2nd team WCHA and he bailed for the pros after two decent but non-spectacular years. Yes, he had a HOF pro career, and that’s super. But why does everyone just accept that the best collegiate performance bears that name? I know, I know. I’ve been on this soapbox before.

Robb I was only able to start watching at the face off right after Cornell tied it at 7. Seemed like all smooth sailing to me! Same. Pretty complete 2nd half. Looked good on faceoffs, middies did fine. D seemed good, but Brown had very little possession time. In no way is this a world-beating juggernaut especially with all the injuries, but they can be dangerous in the tournament, when aby RichH - Other Sports
