Re: Cornell in the Movies - 7 years ago
Doesn't sound too appealing, actually. I want to hear President Kirkman say to the press, "I have to postpone this press conference, The Cornell-Harvard hockey game starts in a few minutes. We WILL pass this bill. And Harvard sucks."by djk26 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell in the Movies - 7 years ago
I think it's ok to post this if Beeeej already watched it on Tivo... The last episode showed the President (Jack Bauer...I mean Keifer Sutherland) bringing in a person "I knew at Cornell." They talked about the Pinesburger challenge (never heard of it, but apparently refers to a restaurant off campus) and "flying in the burgers from Ithaca" and "spending time togetherby djk26 - John Spencer Is Dead

Johnny, while the sentiment of your post makes me sad, it's undoubtedly true, and the picture is well put together, nice work.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: cu- lowell - 7 years ago
Disappointing... I was 80% sure Cornell would lose, but did not expect it to be this bad. And now we graduate 38% of our goals+assists, plus our goaltender. Even so, the team did better than expected this year, they should be proud.by djk26 - Hockey
Re: NCAA tourney - 7 years ago
Sounds like a tough regional, but they were all going to be tough. Since we're IN and relatively close to home, I say it's a good result. Good luck to Cornell.by djk26 - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs Union @ Lake Placid 03/17/17 - 7 years ago
Congratulations to Cornell! Let's beat Harvard tomorrow. But...even if we don't...no jinxes...are we (almost for sure) in the NCAAs now?by djk26 - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - 7 years ago
Well, we didn't lose to Hobart by 10. Remember last year being disappointing? Welcome to this year.by djk26 - Other Sports

billhoward--As an ILR grad, did I not demonstrate a real commitment to academics? Risking thread drift here I know. Let's not lose to Hobart by 10.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Hahvahd @ Cornell 01/27/17 - 7 years ago
Wouldn't there be more sellouts if the team were better? They haven't been a regular national power for several years. Beat Harvard on Friday. They suck.by djk26 - Hockey

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - 7 years ago
Inside Lacrosse “The coaching staff and I both agreed that the Cornell lacrosse program wasn’t the right fit for me,” Massimilian says. Thanks, semsox. I agree that we'll never get the whole story, but the article mentions "differences with the coaching staff" and that's enough for me. I guess I'm happy it wasn't some bad behavior on his part.by djk26 - Other Sports

I saw that Dom M is no longer on the team, but I haven't found the reason why...anyone know?by djk26 - Other Sports

Does this disaster hurt Cornell's PWR more than the win against Providence helped?by djk26 - Hockey
Re: SLU - 8 years ago
Great to see Cornell get a win over a top 20 team! Record against the current top 20 in the USCHO poll is a more than respectable 1-1-2. After the game, the Cornell Hockey twitter feed posted a picture of Dwight Schrute jumping in the air and pumping his fist. I couldn't help but think that if they wanted to illustrate celebrating a Cornell win, they picked the wrong character from "Theby djk26 - Hockey
Re: NCAA tournament - 9 years ago
You can get a penalty, which takes away points, for inappropriate conduct. I'm guessing the team in question had maybe one wrestler entered and in his one match (which he lost, probably, so no positive points), he or his coaches were hit with a penalty.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: vs. minnesota (should have been in the wrestling thread) - 9 years ago
thanks again, that makes sense. I would love to see this team win a national title; I doubt that will happen this year (at least Missouri and Iowa are definitely better.) But I saw that there were only 2 seniors in the matches against Iowa and Lehigh (not counting the heavyweight.) If, like you say, there are some freshman that can help out next year at heavyweight, that would be fantastic.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: vs. minnesota (should have been in the wrestling thread) - 9 years ago
Thank you. Not trying to belabor the point, just trying to better understand wrestling: why not have someone else wrestle in his place? Did the entire team not travel? Or do you have to announce all of the wrestlers before the match starts?by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: vs. minnesota (should have been in the wrestling thread) - 9 years ago
ugarte, thanks, it's at least partially thanks to you that I've started following Cornell wrestling. And there's a lot I still don't get--I know that the team is not as strong at heavyweight as the other classes, but why did they forefit against Iowa and Lehigh? I see that the score in the last match wouldn't have mattered in the two duals, but wouldn't experience at least have helped our heavyby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: HARVARD SUCKS - 9 years ago
Trotsky Trivia contest on the Harvard hockey site. In other news, there's a Harvard hockey site. I answered the questions. One of them was, "What is the date of the game against Cornell?" If "when's the game" qualifies as a trivia question, then that is not a sign of an engaged fanbase. Then again, I understand that home crowds at Lynah haven't exactly been setting tby djk26 - Hockey
Re: Tonight's game v. Penn State - 9 years ago
I don't know what kind of draw Penn State will be. I would think pretty decent...it's a huge school and I bet there are many NYC area alums. They probably have to build a good hockey track record first; they are off to a solid start this year. I think Notre Dame would be a great opponent for the Frozen Apple, based on their alumni draw--what do others think? I am really looking forward toby djk26 - Hockey

Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
That's a good schedule! I hoped to see Albany on there, and there they are. There's no reason it can't be a good upstate rivalry between two strong teams. Which will be showcased in...Dallas, TX.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: USA in the World Cup - 9 years ago
Trotsky I've been impressed at how much of a better team this has been than the last few US WC entrants. Although they always punched well above their weight, in prior years they didn't look like they belonged on the same pitch as a good squad. This team looks like a solid second tier contender that could bite, like Uruguay in '10. (emphasis mine) I certainly hope that US soccer doesn't bitby djk26 - John Spencer Is Dead
