Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - 7 years ago
upprdeck i guess no one heard anything.. one forum said we play ok after a rocky start vs Drexel. then not much of a game vs MSM. For the record, this was the good kind of 'not much of a game'. Color me optimistic. Teat is going to be a special talent for the program. When all is said and done, I'll go out on a limb and say he'll be closer to a Seibald or Pannell in terms of legacy for the proby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Columbia wrestling - 7 years ago
Swampy If the mission of a university is to educate its students, then to fulfill this mission the university must strive to maintain a social/cultural atmosphere that's conducive to educating all its students. Part of this is to eliminate harassment of some students by others, which is particularly important if the harassment is against particular categories of students, when those categories haby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Streaming of the ILDN - 7 years ago
Trotsky I'm sorry for the dumb question, but what do people use Roku for? I can stream on my computer, and if I want the larger screen I can directly cable to the TV. Does this give higher resolution or extra features, like being able to dump the feed to TiVo and watch later? I'm not being deliberately dense or, for once, Luddite. I just don't get what it's for.

Re: Cornell Lax hosts Brown, Senior Day 04/23/16 - 8 years ago
shasta1 A better head coach is needed, not some I will be the interim during a difficult firing, and for my loyalty the head job! Andy through and through. Agree with this entirely. In a sport devoid of innovation, having a coaching staff that can do different things is maybe all it takes. This is Brown's 10th year under Tiffany, but it's only the second year since they brought on Sean Kirwanby semsox - Other Sports

Re: Basketball 2015-16 - 8 years ago
mountainred Swampy shasta1 EASY way out again for Andy. Nat is a nice guy but can he actually coach from the bench? Has Nat been hired or just interviewed? It may be premature to accuse Andy of taking the easy way out. Then again, none of the candidates mentioned here are very accomplished. I have zero insider information, but I think he's just one of several interviewees. Cornell baskby semsox - Other Sports

Chris '03 CAS You are what your record is. Courtney is 25-46 in the Ivies, 1-2 this year. Does winning a third of your games merit an extension? In the 6 years before Courtney was hired, Steve Donahue had 6 consecutive winning Ivy records, never finishing below 3rd in the league. We haven't finished in the top half of the Ivies since. Here are the records of the last two coaches in their firsby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2015-16 - 8 years ago
With it becoming more and more common place, it's time for the Ivies to come together and find a common sense solution to this nonsense of withdrawing and then re-enrolling in order to preserve eligibility. It serves neither the respective athletic departments or the students to make them jump through these hoops in the name of academic integrity.by semsox - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2015... - 8 years ago
What they should probably actually do is get ahead of the curve and contract the sport. As CTE and the like continue to gain national attention and traction, the sport is only going to become less popular.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - Lax Coach - 8 years ago
Hard to not root for Maryland of the remaining teams. Haven't won since the 70's and have run a nice program with a Cornell alum at the helm. Of the other teams, Hopkins is entitled, Tierney is a child, and ND plays an ugly style of lacrosse (not that MD doesn't, but no reason to root for ND).by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
Frankly, the team is just depressing given the talent on it. Much like 2013, this was supposed to be a year you circled as one to make a run in. Loaded to the brim with seniors and talent at every position. Remember coming into the year when faceoff was the biggest question mark? More than anything though, the lack of offensive production is truly staggering to me, and I have no idea what to makeby semsox - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio Greenberg '97 And after yesterday's results, they now have an 80.92% chance of receiving an at-large bid. So I guess that 100% from earlier in the week wasn't really 100%.Wonder what it is after today's debacle. Three goals in three periods against a porous defense? With five returning players in the offensive end, two of whom are All-Americans, you'd think they'd have a consistentby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
Well that is a different story. I think the absolute best case scenario is that we win the ILT and host Colgate in the 1st round as the 7 seed. A medium case scenario is losing in the first round of the ILT and going on a road trip to, say, College Park (AGAIN). Worst case scenario is probably winning the semifinal matchup and/or the championship and being 'rewarded' with a home game with Albany.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
Despite what some of the more cautious Big Red fans are saying, I think we're basically a lock at this point. I don't think that would be the case every year, but the fact of the matter is the Ivy was pretty clearly the 2nd best conference this year, with really poor out-of-conference showings by some of the other mid-tier conferences (Patriot, Big Ten, CAA, etc.). We have 0 bad losses, and moreby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell 9 @ Harvard 10 lax - 9 years ago
MattShaf Coach Kerwick has to take some of the heat for this loss. At 9-9, when Massimillan wins the FO But is forced to come back to the Cornell side of the field he needs to use his TO (especially when he has two in his pocket). As a coach you must minimize the possibility of a transition turnover especially when, with less than 1 minute to play, the next goal will likely win the game. Otherwby semsox - Other Sports

Re: Basketball 2014-15 - 9 years ago
The biggest problem with Courtney is that he continues to run his offensive and defensive "systems" (and I hesitate to use the word since it usually implies some sort of underlying framework). I wouldn't even mind BC coming back if he actually hired an assistant coach who could bring in some structure to our offensive and defensive sets. I (like many others) have no qualms with Bill asby semsox - Other Sports
Re: CU Lax @ Yale - 9 years ago
For the record, I am ridiculously upset that this game is on FCS and therefore not being broadcast on ILDN. It's absurd that we pay for a service to watch these games, and then they get outsourced to a TV channel with no recourse other than listening to the audio stream.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: huge LAX game today - 9 years ago
TimV We really need it for a high value out-of-conference win. I don't know that Colgate and Hofstra will be that good, and Canisius certainly isn't going to help us if we don't win the Ivy AQ. Princeton looked awfully good against Hopkins. Not Jeff. Johns. Agreed. We definitely need this W going forward more than UVA doesby semsox - Other Sports
