Re: cornell gets killed by penn 79-64 - 14 years ago
Princeton is #1 in the nation in scoring defense (PPG allowed), but you're totally right. Just a continuation of the problems from Penn. Also, how about some perspective on EXPECTING this team to sweep Penn and Princeton. In the history of the Ivy League, Penn and Princeton have been swept at home 6 times. Six.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Lax pre-season poll / Cornell-Hopkins scrimmage 2/13 - 14 years ago
Word on laxpower was Hopkins won 8-6. We came out with an early 4-1 lead. Fiore was great in goal apparently.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: getting to jadwin - 14 years ago
I didn't have too much problem. Was probably there about 40 minutes early, and my tiny car was able to fit in one of those snow-y spots that longer cars wouldn't have been able to fit into without sticking out too far. Got out pretty quickly too because I was at the back of the lot closest to the road. I can see how it would have been an awful experience for others though.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: cornell gets killed by penn 79-64 - 14 years ago
YankeeLobo At least I give a sh*t. You, Jim Hyla, seem content to stand by and yawn while the best thing that's happened to Cornell athletics in many years suffers a complete collapse. That's your prerogative. I like hockey, but no one outside of Ithaca could give a sh*t about Cornell hockey. It's basketball that gets the school attention. Dude, chill out. Even though winning the Ivy is noby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Just out......#25 in basketball - 14 years ago
YankeeLobo I have a feeling the ranking and the press is getting to this team's head, or at least it did in the game vs Brown. Brown,for those not well versed in Ivy League basketball is barely ahead of Dartmouth and Penn this year for worst team in the league, and their RPI is 268. The game should not have been that close. I get the feeling that after the 2 blowout wins over Columbia and theby semsox - Other Sports
Re: North Dakota Pregame 1/23 - 14 years ago
Oat Our PP is absolutely awful... And UND is the fourth most penalized team in the nation... It looks putrid. NoDak is doing a great job of extending the box and pressuring the puck holder. Our guys have no time.by semsox - Hockey
Re: Cornell mentioned by Seth Davis - 14 years ago
If we had won at Kansas we probably could have lost 2 games in conference and still gotten an at large without winning the Ivy. As it is, if we split with Harvard, both ended 13-1 and lost the championship game, we'd probably be one of the last 4 out.by semsox - Other Sports

If Cornell wins out, their RPI is almost guaranteed to be in the top 50.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Basketball 2010-2011 - 14 years ago
I'm with Rita on this one. For better or worse, this year very well could be the best chance we'll have to see the team win a tournament game for the rest of our lives (and I'm saying this as a recent alum.) There will be plenty of downtime between the end of this season and nextby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell athlete of the decade - 14 years ago
Josh '99 semsox SeibaldHas to be. First Cornell athlete in years and years to be recognized as the best in the country in his/her sport. Also holds the non-track record for fastest 40 yard dash. He's a physical freak who is also probably the best leader a Cornell team in any sport has seen in quite some time. His post game press conference from the national championship game last year bringsby semsox - Other Sports

Adam Frey '11 Passes Away - 14 years ago
Very saddened to see this news. 12/26/2009 7:19:09 PM ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Cornell University Department of Athletics and Physical Education mourns the death of student-athlete Adam Frey '11, who passed away on Saturday after a a nearly two-year long battle with cancer. The two-time NCAA wrestling qualifier was 23 years old. As a freshman in 2006-07, Frey made a big splash on the national sby semsox - Other Sports

It's 38-27. I'd recommend people watching the video to have ESPN's live box score up. It's almost in sync with the video. I have it on a 90 second refresh and am pretty much using it as a scoreboard.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: cornell basketball @ alabama 11/14 2pm will be streamed online free - 14 years ago
Both offenses look terrible. We need to keep playing this half-court pace. Bad things happen with big athletic teams get quick points off turnovers. That being said, we definitely look to be the better team. Now if we can hang onto a second half lead...by semsox - Other Sports

Re: Cornell vs Virginia - 14 years ago
My most anticipated event of the weekend (not like graduation's THAT big of a deal). That being said, really hard to feel good about the matchup. This is definitely one of those games where I would love to win, but I'm certainly not expecting it. Granted, maybe we're due. I felt we were the better team in '07 and we lost that game. Maybe this will be the other way around. Key to this game iby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Lax Quarterfinals vs. Princeton - 14 years ago
ben03first, i'm a bit put off by Starsia's need to hang 19 on Hop (or anyone for that matter)! i mean i hate Hopkins as much as the next fan of lacrosse but this was more than a bit classless. I was thinking about this during the game, but I disagree. During the regular season, I would obviously agree with you, but when you're one of the final 8 teams in the country, playing for a national chby semsox - Other Sports
Re: MLax: Princeton 7 @ Cornell 10 (Final) - 15 years ago
This whole argument reminds me of the Eagles game this past season (or maybe it was the year before?) where the Eagles were up late in the 4th, and Westbrook caught a ball with a wide open field in front of him, and he got down to the goal line and took a knee, thus essentially sealing the win. The Eagles could just take a knee to run out the clock. The alternative was to take the 7 points, butby semsox - Other Sports

Re: [LAX] Harvard at Cornell - 15 years ago
And Princeton wins it 12-8. I feel this is bad luck for us. I'd much rather have Syracuse coming into Tuesday with a 6 game win streak than coming in trying to avenge a loss from their previous effort...by semsox - Other Sports

Re: B2 or another option to see tonight's game live (DC)? - 15 years ago
It should be less (I think their going rate is ~$6.95 per game. However, an ECAC tournament pass (for all the games) was $20, so about $5 per game.by semsox - Hockey
Re: B2 or another option to see tonight's game live (DC)? - 15 years ago
That's ridiculous. I ordered the whole ECAC Tournament for $20 yesterday. I cannot fathom that just being for the 2 semifinals. Maybe the games aren't listed yet because they did not yet know the matchups so couldn't put them up in advance.by semsox - Hockey
