Re: 2024 Rowing - 30 days ago
They will be competing in the US Olympic Trials. I believe these events are being held in Sarasota, from April 4-7. Streaming semi-finals and finals on some mix of Peacock and NBC.com The trials are free for spectators to attend. They will also be available to stream on Peacock, NBC.com and NBCSports.com on Saturday and Sunday. Heat sheets and results will be available on HereNow.com.by cu155 - Other Sports
Re: 2023 LTW Rowing - 5 months ago
Cornell lightweights posted a win at the Princeton Chase, beating crews that they lost to at the HOC. "Our A boat brought home the WIN in the Lightweight 8+! With a time of 13:00.3, we finished 6 seconds in front of second place Princeton. This time would have also had us 3rd place in the Heavyweight category. 2018 was the last time we won the lightweight 8+ at the Chase. Coming off theby cu155 - Other Sports

Unfortunately, it's use a VPN or forgo watching the game. I pay for a subscription to ESPN+ so don't feel too horrible about accessing the platform from outside the US.by cu155 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Excellent on ESPN+ Brought up VPN as they were asking for an international feed so was assuming they might be outside of the US. ESPN+ is region locked (or maybe just blocked) at least for China so VPN is the only way to access even when paying for the service.by cu155 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Listed as streaming on ESPNNews (not clear to me if this is cable ESPN or works under ESPN+). If ESPN+ then solution would be ESPN+ subscription or Disney+ bundle that includes ESPN+ and Hulu and then using a VPN. If ESPN then solution would be Hulu subscription adding 'Live TV' package to get ESPN unless you have ESPN via a cable provider in the US that allows you to log in and stream.by cu155 - Hockey
Re: 2022 LTW Rowing - 1 year ago
I believe Todd sent out a very cursory note a month or so ago suggesting that Chris had moved on. My assumption is also that he was let go but I have zero insight into what happened, though the silence suggests it probably wasn't something good.by cu155 - Other Sports

Re: Alumni in the Pros 2021-2022 - 1 year ago
As an expat living in China all the geolocation restrictions are depressing. Sometimes you just want to pay money to watch hockey/lacrosse/wrestling and you still can't because the services either flag you as using a VPN (sites are blocked in China so require a VPN to access) or being out of region (even with a VPN set to my 'home' region it's becoming more common to be flagged).

Re: 2022 LTW Rowing - 1 year ago
Didn't see the 3V but 2V and 1V lights both make grand finals later this afternoon. Navy is fast, we'll see if Cornell has anything in reserve. 1V will have a bad lane for finals.by cu155 - Other Sports

We are eager to test ourselves against the league in 6 across racing this Sunday. The athletes have completed an immense amount of work in and out of the boat this year. We are all interested to see what we can earn on Sunday especially after a long pause.

Re: Lack of support for Cornell sports teams - 2 years ago
An entrepreneurial student could solve the crew attendance problem easily by setting up a big screen at the farmers market and stream live from a drone following the boats. They could cooperate with vendors at the farmers' market to sell tickets that offer discounts, or Boathouse Grill (if they are still there) or Cornell could run 'crew and brew' events from the docks but I realize none of thisby cu155 - Other Sports

Swampy cu155 USA putting a lot of pressure on Cornell in period 1. But Cornell wins 4-2. Jenner ‘15 scores 2 goals. Free Tibet!

I'm pretty sure Duncan Robinson didn't get any D1 offers coming out of Exeter either and he's done ok with the Miami Heat. Maybe Hinton will be similarly good, but hopefully we can skip the transfer to Michigan.by cu155 - Other Sports

Re: Wrestling 21-22 - 2 years ago
Dake's first match was a blood bath (for the other guy), second match seemed like he shifted styles and reverted to careful no scores allowed Dake, and third match he inexplicably allowed to go 6 minutes as it was 8-0 within the first 2 minutes of action. One gets the sense he was either pacing himself or just trying different things while on cruise control.by cu155 - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 21-22 - 2 years ago
He has always had amazing scrambling ability but looked to me like he's made significant improvements in defense (not letting guys get to his legs) and in taking more controlled shots that put him at a lower risk of someone else throwing funk at him (not withstanding the end of that first match).by cu155 - Other Sports

Re: 1970-71 Crew Team - 3 years ago
Different strokes for different folks. 2K races are essentially a drag race and you're at the limit, or over, for the entire race. I've been in races where guys have passed out during the race. The 2K is all about efficiency, power, and being willing to suffer more than the other boats until they crack. 5K races are more measured and usually add in more opportunities for tactical movesby cu155 - Other Sports

Re: will cornell cut teams? - 4 years ago
ugarte Trotsky I'm not sure why. If school's out expenditures should be close to zero.because football finances a lot of athletic departments and fall football with a live crowd seems increasingly unlikely. And unless the schools furlough their entire coaching and training staffs (which would be catastrophic) the expenses are not near zero.

Re: Corona Virus And Playoff Games - 4 years ago
Swampy The gaslight dujour here is to compare us with China and then claim China is cooking the books. I suspect even if we took China out of the world totals and compared us to what's left, we'd still look awful. But besides your direct observations, do you have any sense of whether China is indeed cooking the books on the total numbers infected and dead from the disease, either for China as a wby cu155 - Hockey

Meanwhile, here in Shanghai people are close to acting like things are business as normal, so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. 1) In theory everyone is required to present a green/yellow/red QR code on their phone to gain access to buildings. QR code is meant to change color based on big papa govt. tracking of proximity to known cases. In practice they are making people like me (blond,by cu155 - Hockey

Bulk quantity masks (not a spam thread) - 4 years ago
