Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
I find it hard to argue that Cornell is a top ten team, right now. They can be, but they must improve in certain areas. It's hard to argue with the negatives that Quint points out (emphasis added): Quint Kessenich, insidelacrosse.com The Big Red had no answers for FOGO TD Ierlan and attackmen Matt Brandau and Matt Gaudet in a Saturday conference setback.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
I received an email stating that chapter 2 of "The Season" is now available. I just looked at the Florida women's results--they are only 3-5? Yikes--should make for an interesting chapter 2. (grumbling for the Cornell men's team too if chapter 2 covers the Penn State and Yale game)by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Men's basketball 2018-19 - 5 years ago
Swampy To do better next year, the team needs to cement the chemistry that developed over the last month and to get more tournament experience. That's true, too. I was thinking about the senior who gets to play basketball for a few more games with his team, but it's also helpful for a young team to gain more experience.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Men's basketball 2018-19 - 5 years ago
scoop85 Cornell hoops to get some postseason action too: Very cool, and congratulations to the men's basketball team. With the NCAA, NIT, CBI and CIT, there are now 144(!) men's teams that make it to some sort of postseason, although after the NCAA, nobody cares except people associated with the programs in the other tournaments, or fans of teams who rarely if ever make the NCAA.

Re: Bracketology 2019 - 5 years ago
Beeeej You mean sort of like including in the headline "...if NCAA tournament started today" and including in the text "Bracketology assumes that the season has ended and there are no more games to be played..."? Yeah, it really sucks that Jayson doesn't do anything like that. Terribly misleading to the vast majority of people. All true, but it's somewhat undercut by this:by djk26 - Hockey

Did anyone watch episode 1 of "The Season" (featuring Cornell's men's team and Florida's women's team) last night (2/14) on ESPNU? I didn't see it so I'm wondering if it was any good--according to cornellbigred.com: cornellbigred.com The episode will also be available on at www.TheSeason2019.com beginning on Monday, Feb. 18.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 2019 preview top 20 - 5 years ago
Swampy Even out of season the players have to post pictures of their meals, and the upperclassmen use this to police the diets of underclassmen and teach them that substituting Kind bars for Milky Ways does not make a healthy/athletic diet. I can't argue with the results (I am still jealous of Yale's national championship), but ugh. That does not sound fun. Of course, I have never been part oby djk26 - Other Sports

Jeff Hopkins '82 Watching Canada crush Scotland in the Worlds. Teat with 1G-4A in the first half for Team Canada. Brennan Donville in goal for Canada in the second half. Teat now with 1G-6A after 3Q.

Re: RPI Greek Life Change Results in WRPI Hockey Resignation - 5 years ago
French Rage To me, the worst thing she did was make the student body draw slips of paper and sacrificed one unlucky for a good hockey season. Especially since the sacrifice clearly didn't work. I just got this...had to read it twice. Well done...as far as I can tell there is only one famous person named "Martha Pollack"--put up another tally for the Big Red over RPI.by djk26 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Swampy Have to say, if I were an undergraduate thinking of majoring in economics, the program description on Yale's web site, with its emphasis on non-profits, social justice, public policy, and global issues, would be much more attractive than Cornell's, with its emphasis on bureaucratic things like prerequisites and required courses. Yale's econ major website is more attractive, no doubt. Buby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
margolism TD going to Yale Ouch. I knew that having him on our team was too good to be true. I can't wish him well in lacrosse, but I wish him well in life. I wish his brother well in both. I still think we will be improved in faceoff next year. Not as much as Yale, but with Paul Rasimowicz having another year of experience and with the incoming Mitchell Rothstein, we should hold on ouby djk26 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Inside Lacrosse Ierlan, when reached via text Monday afternoon, said: “I’m still unsure of where I’m going as of right now.”...Coaches at both schools have confirmed Ierlan’s interest, but neither has confirmed a final decision or admission, though, per sources an application was due last week. Wow. I hope this goes the Big Red's way.by djk26 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio Yes, that's a big part of the enjoyment of watching this Cornell team. I fear that he'll be locked off by every team, good or not-so-good. I fear that, too...but I'm hoping that part of that fear is irrational and based on my limited lacrosse IQ. There must be SOMETHING Cornell can do about this. There's no way that the lockoff just automatically takes the best player out of thby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
upprdeck syracuse shut him off too and we did just fine. win some faceoffs. I'm greedy, though. I want to see Cornell win AND Teat get a lot of assists, simply because he's fun to watch when he's allowed to play. I fear, though, that against good teams, he'll be trapped by the lockoff and won't be able to contribute.by djk26 - Other Sports

This isn't alumni, but it is the NHL and I didn't know where else to put it. Anyone else have flashbacks to 2003 after watching this save? Only difference is that Holtby didn't save it with his facemask. Washington Capitals' goalie makes amazing save to block an open netby djk26 - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Is there a chance that Teat's career is over, if the team can't figure out how to counter the defense on him? I don't mean over as in he quits playing lacrosse, I mean over as in being considered a top player.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
BearLover Like in hockey, very depressing to see one of our rivals, with many fewer years of success than us, win a national championship that we haven't won in 40 years. I also bet that the Yale students (with the exception of the lacrosse players themselves) didn't care at all. Then again, based on attendance at the games, you could probably say the same if Cornell ever won it all in lacrossby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - Matt Kerwick at IMG - 5 years ago
billhoward I didn't know this: When Matt Kerwick left Cornell a year ago, he landed very well, as director of lacrosse at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. One area where IMG tops even Cornell: Tuition, fees and training can be in the seventies. Did Kerwick leave Cornell on good terms? I remember that his resignation was sort of a surprise. Can he make IMG into a feeder for Cornell lacrosse, aby djk26 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
I agree that FOGO is a huge need for this team, but I heard they have a good one coming next year and a REALLY good one coming the year after that. Still, that's a freshman next year, so let's hope they can find/develop some face-off specialists who are already on the team.by djk26 - Other Sports
