If he doesn't compete you think Cornell would have him as first choice to come back?by upprdeck - Hockey
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 3 days ago
He had covid YR and didn't play 1 year so those years don't count. he has 2 years left for the NCAA However, he is a SR at Cornell since he graduated most likely this year since he can't be a grad student.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Bye-bye Ben - 3 days ago
Think about it though. If he does well, why does he want to come back to a job at Cornell when Princeton has so many things going for it to help a coach? How old will he be in 2-3-4 yrs anyway to want to take over another program??by upprdeck - Hockey

Everything I read Cornell wins and they are in Lose and We are better off with Yale winning game 1 to have a chance to get in.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 4 days ago
How does that even matter. If you are a cornell local you can pay $20 for 3 games or $15 for friday or $10 for Sunday if you buy the full package they get the money either way even if you only go to one game. Most locals will show up for Cornell and some diehards for both. How many does Yale/Princ bring on this trip on a Friday ? a 100? It will be warm which will help. Then you geby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 4 days ago
So we think they over think the HF advantage for lax is too much so force the home team to play late at night and have less time after the time to get treatment/recover if they win? Or we think they are worried about the 100 people driving 4 hrs to the game for one of the other 3 teams?by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 5 days ago
Timing matters not at all to the players other than playing a game and getting home after midnight even for the Cornell kids But for the fans its not nearly as enjoyable. Do most people take kids to movies that start at 9pm? If hockey started all the home games at 9pm you would see a drop in attendance as well. now this could all be TV driven as well with the time slot.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 5 days ago
last year they played the same schedule in Columbia Cornell/yale game one had 2100 penn/prin game 2 had 1400 If you wanted the best weather temp for both games play at 4/7 It should be ok this week though, but still once the sun goes down it wont feel as nice sitting out there until 11.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - game times - 6 days ago
billhoward This was just coincidence ... your last sentence included Money, Trump and Fairness ? I'd like to believe any college lacrosse player whether just turned 18 or maybe 22 or 23, no one is so young or so old a game at 6pm vs. 8:30pm is going to affect his abilities. I get the advantage of the ECAC 1-seed at Lake Placid wanting the 4 pm semifinal game for an extra 3 hours of rest fby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 6 days ago
Win 1 game and they are in. Lose 1 game and who knows G-town/yale/princ/penn are all playing for 2 spots if Cornell wins game 1. Who ever loses princ/yale is probably out. Still Cornell losing to Penn is bad. Probably best if Yale wins the thing if Cornell doesnt.by upprdeck - Other Sports

Getting out of a lAX game at 1030-1100 isnt fun. Good news is the crowd wont be that big that time of night.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 6 days ago
Princeton was out.. Now they are back on the bubble, they could win the IVY Mich could win the B10 Denver loses to a bad BE team and Gtown loses in the finals could get a WC in from there. I dont think any other leagues can cause an issue. We are probably safe but there really isnt a ton of wiggle room, We are probably the safest of the IVY now and they all cant win 2 games to geby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 6 days ago
Trotsky chimpfood Ivy League Instagram already says that the bracket is locked in and to be played in Ithaca, is this right even if we lose?The schedule on the CU site already has us playing Princeton at Schoellkopf Friday, May 3 at 8:30pm. they really going to start the game at 8:30. Should be more like 4/7 if they want people to show upby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 6 days ago
So a cornell win makes it Cornell Princeton Yale Penn Really need to beat Penn then because 2 losses to them and Penn perhaps winning the Ivy puts Cornell back on the bubbleby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 7 days ago
D has gotten better. Goalie play has improved. Better job winning faceoffs. It all adds up. A few less unforced turnovers so the offense has more chances would help as well.by upprdeck - Other Sports

Re: Goodbye Alumni Fields... - 11 days ago
All students get free bus passes all over the city now. you can bus up to EHP. Its not that far. compare it to many colleges. Look at PSU football. from the center of many of those dorms its a mile to the stadium. from the center of Cornell campus its just over a 1.5 miles to baseball. Look at Syracuse soccer/softball fields. Thats about 1.5 from center of campus as well. Now kidsby upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - 11 days ago
It's going to be tight if we don't win the first playoff game. If we were to lose to Penn we would have 2 losses to them. Win the IVY and we could get to 5-6 type seed.by upprdeck - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Tournament 2024 - rankings after 4/20 games - 12 days ago
It would be a disappointing loss for sure. The NCAA is not a lock, and a bad loss would really hurt if they don't win the IVY. Dart lost to the top teams by 7-10-3 and Harvard by 6 brown by 3.by upprdeck - Other Sports

we had 30 sec EMO which didnt help either. I think ND had a 2 Min one which we held to one goal and even that was a fluke.by upprdeck - Other Sports

Reality is 10 is about right. we beat SU/Yale/Prin we lost ND/Den/PSU/Penn Harvard left to play as a top 20 right now If we had beaten Penn we would probably be 6-8 right nowby upprdeck - Other Sports

cornell needs to win the next 2 to make sure that even get into the tourney. Still had the ball late and a bad TO.. That was a story all day though with to many unforced turnovers.by upprdeck - Other Sports
