Re: Cornell Hockey Coverage - Yesterday
99% of sports journalism is "people who can't write transcribing people who can't speak for people who can't read." That's why it's such a pleasure to come across that 1%. Jane's writing is actually writing, not typing, and that puts her in the vanishing minority of sports journalists, already miles above everything that squeezes out of the Bristol sphincter. I wish her all the besby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: New Cornell football coach search - Yesterday
Ken711 Ken711 Four New York State FCS football head coach openings currently, with the Marist head coach retiring. Cornell, Columbia, Stony Brook and now Marist. Make that 3 now. Jake on his blog says Jon Poppe the current Union College HC will be named the new Columbia HC on Sunday.

ugarteI like this about them! It's only comical because we don't, seemingly by design, have anyone down low to help them make it less of a joke. I like D-men with manic shots. What I find comical about Suda and Fegaras is they're so bad at it!by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 5 days ago
ugarteI am still annoyed at their terror at any forecheck and we have ONE player on the team who likes - actually likes - to shoot the puck (Bancroft) and every time he's on the wing with space, whoever is passing it to him handcuffs him so he can't one-time it. Morgan Barron would have killed someone by now. I agree with this generally, but Penny and Walsh also like to shoot and, somewhat comiby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 5 days ago
PghasI think Cornell is designed to always contend for a title, and that is largely through systems. Those systems dont seem to attract the highest end talent, so we will often be playing against teams whose top players are better than ours. But those systems - and historically stout goaltending, which other teams lack - gets us into the top 20 most years and very often gets us to the dance.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 5 days ago
ugarte Trotsky I know you guys feel we were lucky because BU had a bunch of great chances they did not convert, but I think that often happens in games. Ultimately, the final score is the sole dispositive measure of quality. Easy now, Bill Parcells. I was aiming for Schopenhauer. What is the nature of reality? The entire world is just an idea. That’s it. Kant was so close, but Berkeley fby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: CU-BU 2023 - 5 days ago
There was a point at which Seger was 7-1 in faceoffs, and he kept winning vital faceoffs throughout the game. He was like a great punter who completely changed the way possession worked, and protected Shane from set plays in our end.

Re: Cornell under scrutiny of DOE for potential Title IV violations - 5 days ago
This is fun. A 2019 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that 75% of white students who were recruited to Harvard as ALDCs "would have been rejected" if they had been treated as white students without those connections.by Trotsky - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 6 days ago
BearLover I’m very happy Cornell won last night and I had a great time at the game. But the performance did not inspire confidence for the rest of the year. Looking at the chances Cornell gave up, BU easily could have had four or five goals. Even though Cornell did finally score on the PP, it came when a puck popped out to Walsh from the half-wall, rather than set up by a passing play. The PP didby Trotsky - Hockey
