Re: Red Hot game thread and watch - Yesterday
Trotsky I think we got lucky, there. That could have been a 5 + GM. Thought it was a good hit. These masshole announcers on ESPN+ are starting to get very very homerish though.by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: "Proposed" future ECAC - 2 days ago
I think Quinnipiac eventually joins Hockey East, to make that a 12 team league. 11 teams is awkward and they’re a good fit geographically as well as culturally (if you will). Then maybe ECAC takes LIU to make the conference whole at 12. If and when Penn adds a team, maybe ECAC steals a Niagara or a Holy Cross from Atlantic. One thing is for sure, there will continue to be shuffling as proby CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Red Hot Hockey "Presale" - 2 days ago
Interestingly it appears the game will be carried on ESPN+. I thought I had read that only games in ECAC arenas would be shown, which MSG obviously is not.by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Womens hockey 21 - 8 days ago
laserwhisperer Here's the clip from the ESPN broadcast. Seemed really soft to me, but definitely a retaliatory slash of some form. (disclaimer: also wasn't at Lynah) So weak. Princeton woman tapped her and she tapped her back. Move along.by CU2007 - Hockey

Re: Game thread - 13 days ago
upprdeck very confused by the stats. rego says 2/1 but total says 2. andreev says 4/2 but total says 5, zach says 1/1 but total says 1. stienburg says 1/3 but total says 5? overall cornell says 11 goals 17 assists for 30 pts? RPI says 3 goals 6 assists 26 pts? Somebody had mentioned in another thread that the whole stat keeping system for college hockey was in disarray. Meanwhile every webby CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Men’s soccer - 15 days ago
Seems like a bit of a waste of a very talented team. What does the future look like? Recruiting classes? Losing a lot of talent to graduation after this season?by CU2007 - Other Sports
Re: Game thread - 15 days ago
upprdeck watched several games.. they are all for the most part empty. What is the most popular explanation for this? Fear of catching COVID? Easier to just watch on tv these days?by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Football 2021 11/13 @ Dartmouth - 16 days ago
Ken711 billhoward Last week, host Dartmouth thumped then-#16 Princeton 31-7, and moved to #22 in the FCS rankings. In comparison, Cornell lost to Princeton 34-16. We play at Dartmouth Saturday, 1:30 pm. Cornell upset nationally 11th-Dartmouth two years ago, 20-17. Question is, can Cornell pull off a miracle in consecutive road trips against a ranked team, or is reversion to the mean more likely?by CU2007 - Other Sports
Re: Stats - 16 days ago
billhoward You create enough stats, then Everybody's A Winner. David Archer is probably No. 1 in FCS for the stat, Most Fourth Quarter Comebacks (If Not Wins) By A Freshman Quarterback Who Almost Went To A Service Academy. David Archer is first in dumb decisions that are legit insane for a D1 coach to make and not get fired for incompetence. That’s probably it.by CU2007 - Hockey

Why dont the students keep singing after the Gary glitter song to start the 3rd period anymore? Need that back.by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Football 2021 11/13 @ Dartmouth - 16 days ago
I’ll take Dartmouth in a rout, but I like the new QB. If we can’t have a successful passing game, might as well try to be more of a running team - and he’s a threat.by CU2007 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Football 2021 - 22 days ago
ugarte Big win. Good D on the last two drives to preserve the W. Jameson Wang walking to shake hands with a big cylinder of Quaker Oats. Yea … call me old fashioned but I didn't love that. You’re 2-6, don’t act like a clownby CU2007 - Other Sports

Clarkson’s announcer are awful. Every time he says the time or the score he says something like “on the Potsdam general hospital scoreboard”by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Red Hot Hockey "Presale" - 26 days ago
billhoward CU2007 Interestingly, the Cornell sections seem to be just about sold out on Ticketmaster (still some Cornell seats available on StubHub), while the BU sections seem to be almost entirely unsold. This is dog-bites-man news. I guess the point was more about the very very small amount of BU tickets sold, as they seem to have been reasonably well represented at this event in years past.by CU2007 - Hockey

Re: Lynah now at full capacity - 29 days ago
scoop85 arugula Attended tonight. First game together at Lynah with my freshman daughter. Big night. We mostly controlled action but typically cannot finish. Question-is there a return to Alaska? The university would not possibly allow that unless it was in January. These trips UA makes are anathema to a so-called education. Actually a bit disappointed we participated in that.

Re: State of Cornell Athletics - 29 days ago
Ken711 After enduring decades of losing in football (including a 44 game losing streak) Columbia finally brought in an outside consultant to examine the athletic department and make recommendations. That led to Columbia improving their athletic facilities (including an indoor practice facility which they now have), and the hiring of an accomplished football coach in Al Bagnoli. It maybe time foby CU2007 - Other Sports
Re: Lynah now at full capacity - 29 days ago
In light of all this, an OT win against a bad team feels basically like a loss (and is somewhat reflected as such in the all-important RPI). Oh well, just need a win tonight to call it an OK weekend.by CU2007 - Hockey
Re: Lynah now at full capacity - 30 days ago
scoop85 Jeff Hopkins '82 CU2007 Decent attendance. So does that count as a win or a tie for pairwise stuff? What was the score? None of the uscho or CHN pages are showing it. 3-2 in OT. Counts as .55% of a win in Pairwise Damn. And here I was thinking “well we escaped with the win and that’s all that matters” and then I guess we only sorta did but also kinda didn’t.by CU2007 - Hockey

Re: Spring Season Ticket Deposit? - 4 weeks ago
nshapiro Beeeej Dunc I saw in the most recent big red sports email that they are accepting deposits for spring season tickets now - What does "deposit" mean in this case? Like will the tickets cost even more in addition to the deposit, or is the deposit just the total cost of the season tickets? I know this is a crazy thought, but the Ticket Office will probably have an answer for thaby CU2007 - Hockey
