Re: Cornell lacrosse in 2011 - 13 years ago
David Mitchell begat Ryan Hurley begat ? You and I don’t know that answer, but Jeff Tambroni does. Someone will put a bushel load of Rob Panell passes in the net next year, but who? Truer words have never been spoken. I don't see Mock taking Hurlery's spot, but someone will.by semsox - Other Sports

Re: Lax: NCAA Quarterfinals - CU 14 Army 5 - 13 years ago
The scenario actually reminds me of 2007 where Hopkins had a relatively easy match in the one semifinal and you all know what happened in the other. Hopkins went into the Championship game as a fairly heavy underdog but had more in the tank because of the grueling other semifinal. Wouldn't mind seeing something similar happen this year.....by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Lax: NCAA quarterfinals at Stony Brook - 13 years ago
billhoward we don't know how faithful the Stony Brook fans are, and Virgnia is 400 miles away. FWIW, Stony Brook had the highest attendance of the Saturday QFs with 4,262. I bet this will sell out before the game.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Lax Cornell 11 Loyola 10 (3 OT) & other NCAA 1st round - 13 years ago

Re: Potential NCAA Rule Changes - 14 years ago
I'd be for 4x4 OT. I don't know why they'd bother eliminating the icing exemption when they never call it anyway. Eliminating icing for a short-handed team is one of the worst ideas I've heard for any sport in a long, long time. I suppose they're suggesting delay of game for sending the puck over the glass regardless of which zone the player is in which also seems pretty stupid. Face-off in tby semsox - Hockey

Re: Cornell vs. Syracuse Lax - 14 years ago
semsox Well that's pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen YankeeLobo Wow, blew another lead to Cuse late in the game? What is it with these players? Do they just choke when they realize they're beating a team that they shouldn't be? The late game meltdowns are clearly psychological. I mean, they couldn't even clear the ball late in the NC game last year, all they had to do was clear the freby semsox - Other Sports

Oh well, time to move on. It was a hard fought game by both teams. Everyone's a winner tonight. Except Mat Martinez....by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs. Syracuse Lax - 14 years ago
Jacob '06 semsox Well that's pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen The championship game was much worse. We had no business being tied with Syracuse with 2 minutes left this year, Fiore stood on his head and then some. Its pretty respectable for this team that it took until the last second for Syracuse to win. I don't know how an official has the gall to let that goal stand with zeros onby semsox - Other Sports

Jacob '06 semsox What a save by Fiore. Wow Yeah, they were mentioning pregame that both goalies might play today. I have a feeling Fiore will be staying in. Hes had 3 or 4 really nice saves. Zero chance Martinez plays in this game the way Fiore is playingby semsox - Other Sports

Re: Cornell vs. Syracuse Lax - 14 years ago
Al DeFlorio Cornell looks panicked on clears. One of my biggest beefs with Cornell this year has been the pace on clears. It seems they'll get into clearing formation, Fiore/Martinez + 2 poles, and they're content to pass amongst one another for the first 10-15 seconds without making any real progress towards midfield. Frustrating pace that causes careless passes as they try to beat the clockby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs. Syracuse Lax - 14 years ago
Al DeFlorio semsox Tell me someone is watching Redcast right now....I am trying to but the audio and video freeze every two or three seconds. It was doing that for me as well but has stabilized. They had the TW feed on the video, but it was all distorted. The heads of the announcers were stretched to the top of the screen.

Re: Odds that Donahue stays? - 14 years ago
All I'm saying is it's big conference experience, even if it is Northwestern. OSU wasn't exactly a great job either. 3 other coaches turned it down before Robinson. So yea, being Michelle's brother probably helped, but it's not as if he's completely unqualified.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Odds that Donahue stays? - 14 years ago
phillysportsfan I just dont see how one good year out of two years with a CBI appearance gets a coach a PAC10 job coming from an Ivy league school unless the coach happens to be related to the president or there is some other connection Perhaps some other connection you should be referring to is his 6 years as an assistant at Northwestern. Certainly assistants have a very large hand in recruitby semsox - Other Sports
Re: UNH 6 Cornell 2 postgame - 14 years ago
Kyle Rose RatushnyFanScriven's reaction was very telling - he clearly thought it was a goal. I would like, for once, for the NCAA's to put high speed cameras in place around the goal so we can finally understand how the puck manages to go through a gap ¼ the size of the edge-on cross section of the puck without tearing the net. I know the net material stretches, but that much? I think it makesby semsox - Hockey
Re: Buh-bye, seniors - 14 years ago
hockeychick470 this is fundamentally uncool and goes against everything i've come to hold myself to as a Cornell Hockey fan. You should really be ashamed of yourself for starting a thread like this on ELYNAH where Cornell Hockey FANS come to discuss hockey, not knock down our players.

Re: Cornell 18 - Yale 7 Lax final - 14 years ago
Al DeFlorio semsox Regardless, when the Ivy is having a good year (ie this year), there is pretty much no downside to playing the 2 extra games. Playing another 2 games vs 2 of Princeton/Brown/Harvard will be great for RPI and SOS, and yes while the committee is getting smarter, it's 2 more chances for wins vs very good teams.

Re: Cornell 18 - Yale 7 Lax final - 14 years ago
Al DeFlorio Lame attempt to get more teams into the NCAAs, I guess, thinking the regular season winner's record would be good enough for an at-large. Seems a pretty obvious way to game the system since the committee uses RPI/SOS as the predominant measure to seed. Let's just say, I don't think we're a 4 seed in 2007 with an Ivy Tourney....by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell NCAA Basketball - 14 years ago
