WillRRobbWillR Actually she isn't even pragmatic. She may however be delusional. Only if the vote would have been tied in the absence of her voting and she breaks the tie does her vote actually count. I am not arguing for all of us to stay home on election day, but we might want to tone down our expectations come the next election if we really think we count.

Re: Mel Kiper on Kevin Boothe - 18 years ago
Ronald '09Tulloch is actually mislabled, he is a linebacker from NC State. I saw that too on a site, and when I clicked on his profile, it said he goes to NC State. I looked at it further to see which was right. He does not go to Cornell. I'm not sure how they made a mistake like that, but they did.Ah, thanks.

Re: Mel Kiper on Kevin Boothe - 18 years ago
aip888Heard this on ESPN Sportscenter... "When you look at Kevin Boothe out of Cornell, here's a guy, an offensive lineman who can play both guard spots and both tackle spots. He was a man among boys in the Ivy League. Kevin Boothe out of Cornell, I believe in the 2nd or 3rd round. NFL ready, very smart and very versatile. He would be a heckuva pick in the 2nd or 3rd round. I believeby David Harding - Other Sports

Liz '05...I still wish that the main page of www.cornell.edu had a more direct link to athletics, but, then again, considering the mess that website is, perhaps it's better they don't.Go to www.cornell.edu and click on "Athletics", at least today. How much more direct can they get? Sure, it's not up at the top of the page, but I think that's appropriate. I would much rather they revaby David Harding - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Lax 4 @ Princeton 3 - postgame - 18 years ago
billhoward One other thing: faceoffs were pretty even or Cornell was slightly ahead, but a) there weren't enough to be statistically significant and b) about half of them really went to Cornell or Princeton (more Princeton) on procedural violations. So I wouldn't take this one game as a sign that the Cornell faceoff is back. In Hillel's pregame analysis he pointed to faceoofs as a Princeton weakby David Harding - Other Sports

Jordan 04 Or an election to win. The case certainly won't die yet; I believe the primary is the first week of May and the election is at the end of May. The facts and validity of the case nonwithstanding (and I am not going to make a judgment on that here), Nifong has a very strong motive to keep this case -- and his name -- in the paper for 6 more weeks. Edit: It appears the only date ofby David Harding - Other Sports
Re: Mel Kiper on Kevin Boothe - 18 years ago
The Ivy League, seldom known for its football talent - at least since the 1920s - got some attention this season when former Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick emerged from obscurity and appeared in four games for the St. Louis Rams after injuries plagued his position group. Grumble... Cornell's run continued into the (very) early 1950's.by David Harding - Other Sports
Re: Lynah Rink Renovation Blog - 18 years ago
TrotskySo, the lobby floor will be at the same level as the current concourse? If the only reason for the big hole is that they're building a box on the south side for the lockers, couldn't they have the lockerrooms at ice level and just carve tunnels straight from the lockerrooms to the ice, with no climbing? Is that too low a ceiling?That's what I assumed they would be doing when the firstby David Harding - Hockey
Re: College vs. NHL - 18 years ago
From the NCAA rule bookAppointment of Officials SECTION 1. All games shall be officiated by a three-person officiating system.

All officials should be supplied by the properby David Harding - Hockey

Re: Poll (yay) 3/27 - 18 years ago
KeithKNow, I'm not going to disagree with you strenuously here (or, really, even at all), since I agree with you that the NCAAs are overpopulated with teams that really haven't done anything but do reasonably well in difficult leagues (UNO, UNH, CC, maybe us?), but isn't part of the fun of organized sports the possibility that, even towards the end of a reasonably unsuccessful season, you can puby David Harding - Hockey
Re: 2006-7 Schedule - 18 years ago
nyc94TrotskyYep, it's almost certainly too late to get on any tier one schedule for 06-07, and maybe even for 07-08. I'd love to see Cornell and Colgate do a traveling pair to Denver/CC, for example. If there's any way of making any of this happen within budget, Schafer will work it. Is travel budget much of an issue? Serious question as I have no idea.

TCHL8842Great game This game was a little hard to take since it went 3ots. Hopefully none of the non-seniors leave, but I have a feeling we can see Pok, McKee, and OB leaving. The little I read it seems that our incoming freshmen are pretty good. Does anyone know who we are playing next year?

Re: CC/Bemidji/Wisconsin cheering - 18 years ago
finkCC takes courses on a block system (as opposed to semesters), as apparently the students are only able to handle 1 course at a time. And it only lasts for 3.5 weeks. I'm having trouble coming up with a cheer/sign for that, but there has to be one in there somewhere.Interesting. That's the same system that Cornell College uses. I always end up next to them at college fairs.by David Harding - Hockey
