Roy 82 Al DeFlorio upprdeck ...perhaps to appeal to those who think beach volleyball is a real sport, not a skin show.... I'm guessing you are not very familiar with competitive beach volleyball. "Uniforms" aside, the game requires a high degree of athleticism and skill - not to mention size. And you might also be surprised at the range of uniforms that teams choose to wear.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Cornell at Dartmouth, 1/27 - 2 months ago
upprdeck Is it a different game? for sure. But its still hockey because it can and does happen in the real game even if in very limited situations. Like Bball when a game is played 5x3.. not fun to watch and doesn't happen that often, but it does. It happened in a real game for a reason: actual called penalties. It happens in overtime because some assholes decided to do it that way, perhaby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Cornell at Dartmouth, 1/27 - 2 months ago
BearLover sah67 BearLover Do you guys watch much NHL? 3x3 OT is still really fast paced and exciting in the NHL. In college it’s a little slower, but there are still many more great scoring chances per minute than in regulation. Frankly, it’s very exciting for the casual fan, and it’s still exciting for the jaded enfranchised fan like me as well. The same goes for shootouts, though to a lesserby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
upprdeck well since Cornell has no scholies arent they all really walkons in some way? Think the difference is that Dale recruited himself by sending a video to Cornell. Foote's mother recruited him for Cornell. So Donahue, in a way, was presented with two of his big three studs on a platter.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Trotsky upprdeck we need another good weekend and get some help from the teams 3-4 spots ahead of us. our margin is gonna be small. We need seven more good weekends. But so what? Some philosophy. This Winter is a lesson that the NC$$s can't be the overdetermining goal. Enjoy the games one at a time, and let PWR take care of itself.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
Mr. Niss Al DeFlorio Disorganized, sloppy final three minutes and Brown cuts lead from 16 to 7. Yuck. Sometimes I get the feeling that we go on a big run, open up a lead, and some guys on the team begin to think they're Curly Neal and start to play Globetrotters' ball. And next thing you know, we're not blowing them out any longer. Opened up to a 14 lead 2nd half, now back to 8. Offense stagby Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: Cornell in the Valley of the Sun - 3 months ago

George64 Trotsky She could have said "freedom of expression means what it says, asshole" and walked out. But she equivocated like every mealy-mouthed corporate-academic President or Provost of the last 30 years would, and she wrote her own death sentence. Good riddance.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 months ago
billhoward Also the era when Cornell with Black players beat Kentucky at Kentucky. Legend has it that the Wildcats' coach, Adolph Rupp, realized the future of basketball was not White-only. We won 92-77 (December 1968) and it helped Rupp let the state of Kentucky see the handwriting on the wall. That and Kentucky six months earlier losing the NCAA championship to UTEP (now Texas Western) with allby Al DeFlorio - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 4 months ago
CU2007 upprdeck At the same time our HS has had far more concussions from soccer than football for many years. I read somewhere that girls soccer was the 2nd highest concussion rate, behind football. And I think USA Soccer banned headers until age 15 or so because of it - could be wrong there. Most were caused by heading the ball without fully developed neck muscles to support the impact on thby Al DeFlorio - Other Sports
