Re: 2007-08 fan wishlist - 17 years ago
RichH 1) Fix/replace All-Access. Most obvious one. Enough has been written here about it. We all know it. After the experience of the Duke lax webcast with ACC Select...we now know a quality product & model is not only possible, but is in use now. Most of us would gladly pay for a reliable service. I'd prefer it to be internal to the university, but if a league-wide service like ACC Sby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: FRESHMAN FORWARDS (OVERRATED) - 17 years ago
KeithKI'm pretty sure bandrews37 isn't trolling. He just has an unpopular negative opinion right now. IMM's first post looked like the same. This one is so over the top negative that I can't help but think he's trolling. Even if e he's not there's no point in arguing with someone who thinks " Schafer gambled with the freshman forwards this season and lost". Thanks, Keith. I've beenby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: WHY CORNELL WILL NO LONGER DOMINATE THE ECAC - 17 years ago
RichHbandrews37 But you can't tell me that the words the seniors speak every season about how much they will miss playing in front of the fans aren't echoed at North Dakota, Denver, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Maine, BU, BC, New Hampshire - even at other schools in the ECAC, like Clarkson and SLU. There's nothing unique about playing at Cornell. The fans cheer the same exact cheers thby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: WHY CORNELL WILL NO LONGER DOMINATE THE ECAC - 17 years ago
Al DeFloriobandrews37Just like how everyone on here threw a shit fit about the jerseys the team wore in Florida, though at most 500 people saw the team actually wearing them in person. Did anyone care to think about what the players prefered, since they're the ones, you know, WEARING THEM? Every player I spoke with (and yes, I spoke with most of them) preferred the new uniforms, saying they wereby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: WHY CORNELL WILL NO LONGER DOMINATE THE ECAC - 17 years ago
The Rancorbandrews37Then apparently you missed the last four games of the season, when all we were doing was dumping and chasing. In truth, I believe that Schafer has taken this team and this school as far as he possibly can. This team was in a position to win an ivy title this season, needing just two points in the final two league games to get at least a share, and they couldn't pull it out. Iby bandrews37 - Hockey

Re: WHY CORNELL WILL NO LONGER DOMINATE THE ECAC - 17 years ago
Probably the most well-thought-out post on here in history. Something I've been thinking of for the last three weeks.... The Schafer glory years are over. The game has evolved, and he's still coaching his style of play from when he wore the Red and White. It's a shame, the players he hoodwinked into coming here deserve better.by bandrews37 - Hockey

Re: Quinnipiac at Cornell post-game 1 - 17 years ago
Feola's the ref for Saturday night. Binda's stuck up with Dartmouth and Clarkson (praise Allah). Hansen's back on Sunday, if we even get that far. After tonight, not counting on it.by bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: Freshman (Tony Romano) - 17 years ago
As long as his creativity is stifled under Schafer's direction, he's not going to continue to develop. I'm sorry, but after tonight's game, I'm starting to believe that what DILLIGAF is saying is true; Romano (among other players) won't be around next year.by bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: Men's Indoor Track Takes IC4As - 17 years ago
Cornell's got four kids at the indoor national's this weekend in Arkansas. Of them, two (Halim -- triple jump & Uceny -- 800m) are seeded in top three. According to Ivy League site, if either of them win their events, they'd be the first individual champion since Charlie Moore way back in 1951.by bandrews37 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Goaltenders - 17 years ago
That's not really a fair assessment, though, Jim. Of Scrivens' decisions this year (he's 3-6-2 overall, right?) he's gotten the decision in three games where he came on in relief of Troy - and those have been two losses and a tie. If you remove those where he came in down several goals and ended up with the decision, he's 3-4-1 - not great, but not too bad, I suppose. And Troy becomes 11-7-3 - stby bandrews37 - Hockey

Re: Freshman (Tony Romano) - 17 years ago
One concern I'm starting to see with Romano - he gets open, yet doesn't get the puck. Looks like he's frustrated, and he's starting to do more of getting the puck in the defensive end and trying to go all the way with it. I wonder if some of the guys don't like his flashyness and don't want to get him the puck. Which is too bad, because he's the most creative offensive threat this team's hadby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: A Comparison - 17 years ago
Not sure what games you were watching, but they sure weren't the ones I saw. At SLU, he got peppered with 17 shots in 15 minutes - stopping 14 of them. Yeah, he gave up an easy one that got him pulled, but how's that any different than the three easy rebounds Davenport gave up at Dartmouth? Scrivens didn't play at Clarkson, and played pretty damn well at Union, making 31 stops - more than Davenpoby bandrews37 - Hockey

Re: Senior letdown - 17 years ago
calgARI '07Johnny 5But, then, he could spell dedication. There are plenty of players who graduate from Cornell who couldn't spell dedication. The difference between the massive majority of players who stay for four years and the ones who leave early is that the latter are generally much better. The guys who stay four years stay because they aren't good enough to go pro and/or are good enoughby bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: Sports Information Dep't fails Cornell fans - 17 years ago
Yeah, how'd you like those 75 streams from good ol' SLU? You know, the same limit that won't even allow one section's worth of people at Lynah to view the feed? And if you you think Cornell's feed is bad, whoo boy, just wait until you try Dartmouth's.... yeesh.... I've checked out their feeds, they make CSTV look like HDTV on a 72 inch plasma screen.by bandrews37 - Other Sports
Re: Red-Colgate series on TV - 17 years ago
The 8 pm game time wasn't for TV, it was because the women's team plays a 3 pm home game the same day. The 8 pm start is needed to prep the rink for the men's game. The TV add was a recent thing - like within the last two weeks.by bandrews37 - Hockey
Re: Sports Information Dep't fails Cornell fans - 17 years ago
Sure, anyone can do it without charging when they are illegally using the university's resources. Age just started doing it, never asked for permission, and used whatever resources he felt like. I've heard that it wasn't athletics that requested he be shut down, it was the resources he was using over in Biotech. Imagine where the whole thing would be if he'd approached someone in athletics aboby bandrews37 - Other Sports

Re: Sports Information Dep't fails Cornell fans - 17 years ago
Wow, this thought is so wrong on so many levels, it's hard to know where to even start.... First off, Cornell was one of the first schools around the country to even do university sponsored live video. So, to say that the SID is failing fans by thinking inside the box couldn't be farther from the truth.

TDS might actually be right, because Schafer has been suspended for a game at least once. You're not right - Schafer is still one shy, as Bertrand has 230 and Schafer has 229.

Re: Separate ushers-vs.-fans game thread? - 17 years ago
After going to the basketball game tonight (crappy Cornell loss), I've seen enough to call bullshit on this whole "Nazi-esque" usher problem. First off, I've been at every game this season, and never once had a problem with any usher anywhere in the place. I know most of them if not by name, then by face, and they recognize me, and we usually say hi, or talk about the game. Secondly,by bandrews37 - Hockey
Who sits...? - 17 years ago
Glover's due back after Christmas (good to see him walking around without the crutches last weekend). Question is, who sits when he's ready to go? At this point, I think only Seminoff and Krantz are set in the lineup. Nash has shown flashes, but he's been pretty inconsistent. Krueger's not done much to impress me. Davenport's been okay, but not special and the same can be said for Salmela. Atby bandrews37 - Hockey
