Re: Cornell Baseball 2024 - 20 days ago
Hoping the bats stay hot. Our starting pitcher has an ERA of 9.10. Maybe the plan is to make this a "bullpen" game, with a parade of pitchers going an inning or two each.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

scoop85 AJ Labeau, a 7-foot center from Idaho who redshirted at Washington State as a freshman preferred walk-on is transferring to Cornell. Out of HS he had D1 offers from Idaho State, Air Force, and Army. Always intriguing to get someone of that size on the roster, and perhaps he blossoms into a good Ivy League player. Certainly having more size up front is useful. High school recruiting page:by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

scoop85 ice President Pollack is 65 years old. It is a very difficult time to be a university president anywhere. Yes, massive headaches across the board to have to deal with. Like being grilled by idiots in Congress.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 5 weeks ago
marty Jeff Hopkins '82 ER Great game but the piped on music is awful. Are we at a baseball stadium? Michigan has the best band. Where are they? Springfield was just as bad. Someone needs to tell these AHL rinks that we want to hear the band(s), not their piped in noise. Tell Denver to send a band, too.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 5 weeks ago
upprdeck How does that even matter. If you are a cornell local you can pay $20 for 3 games or $15 for friday or $10 for Sunday if you buy the full package they get the money either way even if you only go to one game. Most locals will show up for Cornell and some diehards for both. How many does Yale/Princ bring on this trip on a Friday ? a 100? It will be warm which will help. Thby Al DeFlorio - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 5 weeks ago
upprdeck So we think they over think the HF advantage for lax is too much so force the home team to play late at night and have less time after the time to get treatment/recover if they win? Or we think they are worried about the 100 people driving 4 hrs to the game for one of the other 3 teams? Putting my money on league wanting home team in late game to keep people in stands.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

upprdeck Getting out of a lAX game at 1030-1100 isnt fun. Good news is the crowd wont be that big that time of night. Not so great for the winner of the late game, either.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Scroll down to the photo of the 1948 RPI lacrosse team that represented USA in the Olympics. The young guy in the baseball cap later put Cornell lacrosse and hockey on the national map.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

mike1960 billhoward This schedule 10 days in advance of the Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament has the 2-3 seeds playing the early game at 6 pm, the 1-4 seeds playing at 8:30 pm, then the title game at 1 pm. When it was neutral-site last year, I believe the 1-seed got the early game. Ignore that the graphic has all 3 games Sunday May 5. It should be semifinals Friday, day off Saturday, title game Sunby Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - rankings after 4/20 games - 6 weeks ago
upprdeck It would be a disappointing loss for sure. The NCAA is not a lock, and a bad loss would really hurt if they don't win the IVY. Dart lost to the top teams by 7-10-3 and Harvard by 6 brown by 3. Led Yale 7-1; led Brown through much of game. Still remember the Dartmouth game at Foxborough in 2010 when a Dartmouth goalie named Fergus Campbell knocked off a 7-1 Cornell team 8-6 with 16by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
BearLover Dafatone pfibiger Dafatone BearLover adamw I should probably just shut up - but I'm not good at that. I think Ben Syer and Topher are great guys. Neither will be the next coach. Casey Jones is one of my favorite people in hockey, and I think he's a great coach. However, he's only 4 years younger than Coach Schafer - and so it won't be him either. I’d be curious to hear adamw’s responby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
ugarte BearLover Swampy arugula BearLover Laughing at teams like BC/BU/NoDak/Quinnipiac losing just doesn’t hit the same when they’ve won national championships recently. (BU fans might try to claim 15 years is a long time, but to a Cornell fan it’s definitely not.) At the same time, each brutal loss by Cornell feels extra crushing because it’s been so long since we’ve won at hockey or lacrosse (by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
