Re: forum issues - 14 years ago
I've experienced this too in the last week or so in IE (7.0) -- and maybe in Firefox too, can't remember. Sometimes the bottom 50-75 percent of the last line of text in some posts is invisible. It goes away if you highlight the text. If you scroll up or down and move the affected text off-screen, it's restored when you scroll back. In many cases it seems to go away on its own eventually. Strange.by Hillel Hoffmann - Hockey
Re: Classy... - 14 years ago
Twisted f'ing genius. I don't know why, but the parts that make me laugh the hardest are: 1) when the Avenging Bear of Death takes some time out on his journey through the solar system to waste the Jupiter probe, and 2) the "A" twisting back and forth at the end in front of the epic wall of natural gas flame.

Re: Lacrosse Recruiting at Cornell - 14 years ago
TimVWe're Number 10....The Usual Bullcrap. It is bullcrap, but it's not usual. Since Inside Lacrosse started their worthless exercise of ranking recruits and classes, this is only the second time that a Cornell class has cracked the top 10. Given the coaching staff's record of finding good matches and developing talent -- even when the chips aren't alleged to be as blue -- I'm thrilled. The lasby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports
Re: Comcast gives in - 14 years ago
The long wait is over -- at least for me. Sometime in the last few days, ESPNU showed up on Comcast here in the Philadelphia in the digital sports tier (in the low 700s).by Hillel Hoffmann - Hockey
Re: Comcast gives in - 14 years ago
Nice. Thanks, Fred. Sounds like ESPN Classic might become a bit less readily available for some Comast customers. That's too bad, but if that's what it takes for ESPNU to makes its long overdue debut on Comcast, I can live with it.by Hillel Hoffmann - Hockey
Re: Empty Desks at Princeton Lacrosse Office - 14 years ago
Drexel's Chris Bates, one of the nicest people in all of college lacrosse, takes the helm at Princeton. Huge congratulations to him. I'm glad DeLuca's staying; I'm bummed that I have to root against Bates (at least against Cornell).by Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports

ithacatHere's one who better not get away: Connor Entenmann, a junior attackman from Auburn was named to the Syracuse Post-Standard's All-CNY 1st team. Entenmann scored 47 goals and had 41 assists this year. When asked about his jersey number he said, No. 8. Because my father wore that number for his four years at Cornell. I want to continue the legacy. Kyle Doctor wore #8 this year. It'll beby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports
Re: Empty Desks at Princeton Lacrosse Office - 14 years ago
Ben DeLuca would be a great fit for Princeton. If it happens, it would be a sad day for Cornell lacrosse; his impact on the program has been profound. But he deserves the opportunity. When he does get his first head coaching job -- and it will be soon -- whoever hires him will be getting someone very special.by Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports
Re: Lacrosse Recruiting at Cornell - 14 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82I was watching the PA state championship game this weekend. Cornell got a mention for one of the players who'd signed with us. Don't remember the name, tho. It was Mike Bronzino, a senior close defenseman at Conestoga High School (Chester County). Conestoga is an up-and-coming program that knocked off some of eastern Pennsylvania's entrenched powers this season. Bronzino is a USby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports

ugarteDavid HardingJohn Glynn did not play for the Machine in their game yesterday, but Kenny Nims did and scored one goal. I can't imagine how weird it is for Glynn to be in the same locker room with Nims while the pain of that game must be so fresh. With any two other people, maybe so. But not Nims and Glynn. You couldn't ask for a more gracious winner than Nims. (Example: While all the other Sby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports

Jacob '06Guess my half a vote for the Kings didn't count. Hey, I did buy center ice this year just so I could see a bunch of their games! I will count it since you seem to be saying it's a true split and not a "second favorite" situation. But that means taking away 0.5 from the Rangers.by Hillel Hoffmann - John Spencer Is Dead

Caps and Sharks open up a shocking Day 1 lead (standings at top). I can't believe we're such a bunch of sunbelt snowbirds. No wonder the northeast is losing electoral college oomph.

I am in task avoidance mode. And I'm bored. OK, it's more the former. But I also have NHL playoff fever (so sue me, I'm a Caps fan). Anyway, I've often wondered how the NHL loyalties of the Cornell hockey fan base on eLynah are distributed. Favorite NHL team?

Re: Lax Cornell 18 @ BU 6 (final) - 15 years ago
I couldn't get myself in front of a computer to watch or listen to the game on Saturday. Some questions for folks who watched online or in person: Who ended up playing defense and long-stick midfield? Who played on the second midfield line? Who played on the man-up unit? Who played at short-stick defensive midfield? Any thoughts on Harer's play? I did manage to find a few localby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports
Re: Lacrosse previews - 15 years ago
The Baltimore Sun's lacrosse blog is reporting that last year's starting goalie, Jake Myers, is out for six weeks with a groin injury. The report also muddies the water about likely starters at defense and long-stick midfield. Maybe the safest way to say it is this: Based on what we're hearing so far, the four players with six-foot sticks most likely to start against Binghamton are going to beby Hillel Hoffmann - Other Sports
