Re: Alumni in the pros 23-24 - 4 months ago
scoop85 Trotsky Thank you, John. I was hoping for Steele or Mosko. I wonder if maybe Steele has left hockey or is injured? Steele still appears on our roster. Given he got no game action at Cornell, he’s probably not yet ready to play at the men’s international level, even for a weaker team like Great Britain.I wondered since he seems to have been strong enough for the age-appropriate teby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Mets - 4 months ago
I've had a lot of happiness since 1986. Mostly because while I have been a fan since 1971, the late 70s permanently froze my Mets thermometer so I absolutely expect to lose every game.

I figure there have to be fellow sufferers here, demographically-speaking. I have love-hated this team for 54 seasons, now. LFGM.by Trotsky - John Spencer Is Dead

Stupid people can convince rich people to give them money, for stupid things. Smart people can't convince rich people to give them money. Extremely smart people can't be bothered by any of these assholes and spend their lives trying to stay away from them entirely.by Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Pollack Out - 4 months ago
RichH 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! Drop all the Designer Bag idiocy at once, please.

Re: Pollack Out - 4 months ago
billhoward upprdeck not great timing for the school If she leaves by June 30, she gets a fifth year at like, Hopkins or Michigan. There's not much NIL money for an Ivy president.About one post a year makes me wish we had upvotes here. Take it, you bastard.by Trotsky - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Bye-bye Ben - 4 months ago
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. I seem to remember that Casey was also the lead on the recruiting effort, so we already have a sample of this exact scenario.It mby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Schoellkopf Field needs to be upgraded to Ivy standards. - 4 months ago
No. We don't "need" anything in athletics. Ever. That's a cutesy luxury after you take care of academics. We need better salaries for professors and better packages to get better grad students, and we need to give Poors a free ride and charge the rich up the ass to reproduce their generational wealth in their idiot progeny. We need to burn every other building on campus to the grby Trotsky - Other Sports

mike1960 Swampy CU2007 Ken711 Cornell had their spring game yesterday. Now it's waiting until training camp begins in August. And somehow Cornell still couldn’t come away with a win Of course. They're getting ready for the fall. Would be nice to have a decent football team this year.It's the Ivies. None of us have had a decent football team since the 60s.by Trotsky - Other Sports

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.

mike1960 I like that our offense is spacing things out. Their goalie made a good stop, but if we keep shooting, we'll score some goals tonight.Their goalie has made two ungodly Drydenesque moves so far. I hope he's not going to have his career night.by Trotsky - Other Sports
