Re: Cornell Lacrosse legacy started before Richie Moran - 16 days ago

The Rancor I don't even like that they did away with the SRO walkway. Either embrace un-modernity or build it new from scratch, but all the tinkering is terrible, including the jumbotron. (ADA accessible seating and new locker rooms exempted) That's the most offputting "minor" change for me: you used to be able to walk around from one section to another while keeping an eye on the rin

mike1960 Ken711 BearLover What are some historic Cornell big game performances that compare to Kirst’s 6 goals in the title game this season? Ed Marinaro's 281 yards rushing against Harvard in 1969 was pretty amazing. Not bad for a tough NYPittsburgh cop. "Coffey, with a y. Not like what youse drink."

Our best teams continuously butting heads over many generations leads to a lot of rivalry-fueled resentment & hate.

Re: 2025-26 schedule - 8 weeks ago

BearLover The Rancor Scheduling for Cornell has to be challenging. Take a chance to get beaten by a good program, playing on the road, with a weak ECAC SOS (EZAC?) Who wants that? At least there's some name recognition for Harvard, Yale and Princeton. What is the benefit of getting pounded by Big Red just to see your RPI crash? Doesn’t this message contradict itself?

Re: NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU - 2 months ago

VIEWfromK fastforward The Walsh face mask penalty was completely bogus The rule couldn't be more cut and dry. You can't grab a facemask. It doesn't matter the scenario that leads up to it. We learned earlier in the season that it won't be tolerated. I don't think it's a play that should be an automatic major but it's what the rule book calls for. I think if they'd called it on the i

Trotsky Jim Hyla Got tired of talking about the FF on other threads, so started this. Unhappily for others, I'm rooting for BU.

Re: NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU - 3 months ago

So the thing about losing in the quarterfinals is that this performance--going on a run in the playoffs, pulling off two third-period upset comebacks to stay alive, and falling tantalizingly short in the regional final--would be satisfying in isolation, but it's frustrating as part of the larger picture: we could have easily won a number of those quarterfinal games, but we didn't (except when we
