Re: Alumni in the pros 24-25 - 6 weeks ago
In my experience, Cornell athletes are no dumber, at the median, than the average business or engineering major. No, they aren't A&S, but they aren't Martha Van for the most part either. Other than their athletics they are incurious and plodding, but hard workers. From personal experience that is the typical Cornell or Stanford student as well. There are brilliant exceptions, of course, wby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Future Predictions - 7 weeks ago
Troyfan Things looked pretty good for Cornell a year ago but most of the season was disappointing. I think hockey is harder to predict than football and basketball because it isn't as well studied. The certainty attached to prospect evaluations isn't as great so the grain of salt attaching to predictions is bigger. Of all the things there are to predict the future is the last one I'd choose.Iby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Future Predictions - 7 weeks ago
chimpfoodShould get a bye: Clarkson, CornellWe have a lot of unknowns; I think this is overoptimistic. We could be a 2-4 if everything goes right, but we may also be sub-.500 of everything goes wrong. Look at this past season where despite the talent to win the tourny and get within an eyelash of the F4, we didn't even get a bye. I still believe we have forgotten how difficult this competiby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Nothing about the pope - 8 weeks ago
Jeff Hopkins '82Am I right in assuming he's the first modern mixed-race pope? Of course, I have no idea who the popes were in the early church, hence the "modern". Race in the sense we mean it is a modern conceit. Amazingly, nobody gave a shit about skin color except as a curiosity, like eye color. They cared A LOT about where you born and what language you spoke, though. Itby Trotsky - John Spencer Is Dead

chimpfood BearLover Another ‘04 with big numbers in the CHL commits to Quinnipiac. Quinnipiac and Clarkson are each slated to have about six of those on their rosters next year.Luckily all of these guys are 5 foot 9 or less or have some other issue that is making it so they have no NHL/AHL interest. Those issues will probably make them far from dominant in college but even if they do end up beingby Trotsky - Hockey

If Clarkson can get them, we can get them. Q has ceased even the pretension of being a university so that's a different story. No desire to follow that lead, I for one welcome their inevitable jump to the Big Ten.by Trotsky - Hockey

Serious question, under current rules, is there a limit? Could a college recruit a 24 year old? As a purist I should hate it but I am fine with it.

Oh shit, also video stuff. Not as much, but some, including DVRs of two Cornell NCAA games from the Harkness Era, and assuming I can find them DVDs of important Cornell games from the 80s and 90s. Although those latter are take what you can get on quality --not sure how well a 40-year DVD has held up.by Trotsky - Hockey

I am moving. And when you move, you make painful decisions. I have Cornell hockey stuff. A lot of it. A LOT of it. 45 years of curation. I would prefer it go to a happy home, but I am willing to drop a lighted match, close the door, and walk away. It doesn't have to go home, but it can't stay here.

Beeeej sah67 Beeeej Not that Morgan did a ton to acquit himself later in the game Even though he wasn't superb in the faceoff dot tonight, I saw several strong shifts from him in both OT periods, and Arniel must have a lot of faith in his play as he was 5th among Winnipeg forwards in ice time with 26:42.
