Re: Cornell v Yale, 11/3/23 - 6 months ago
billhoward Cornell-at-Yale tickets are available, Yale says "limited," but there is standing room. Availability is certainly better than in the years around the national championship year (2013). You can find parking on-street, it'll be a 5- or 10-minute walk. The paid-parking garage is quite near, easy-in, but a wait to get out post-game. The New Haven deal for many includes dinner atby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

ugarte David Harding I like Ithaca. If I grew up in Ithaca, Ithaca would be the last place I'd go to college. I grew up in Ithaca. I like Ithaca. I attended Cornell for 10 years (12 if you count nursery school).it's less about the town than the fact that many 18 year olds want to move away from wherever they are from Nailed it.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Empty seats at Lynah - 6 months ago
Trotsky BearLover $350, can that really be true? That is $27/game. Way too expensive for a college hockey game. The money doesn’t even go to the hockey team.I don't know that it is any more expensive than tickets in our day. $27 now equals $8.28 of purchasing power 40 years ago with an average inflation rate of 3%. That looks exactly on beam. Depends whose "day" you mean by "by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Dafatone BearLover Redpucks1! Tomorrow is a big day on the college hockey recruiting calendar - 8/1 is the first day that '07 birth years can commit. (First day they could be contacted by schools was 1/1/23). I have no inside connection to Cornell Hockey, just a fan, but I'm really hoping they are in on these 3 players. In no particular order they are: 1. Cooper Dennis - Ithaca, NY!! On tby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

abmarks Trotsky scoop85 Trotsky Guys who I thought especially distinguished themselves tonight: O'Leary, Bancroft, Walsh, Shane, Castagna, Seger. When Grady says “Castagna” my brain instantly converts that to “Can’t stand ya” from the Seinfeld library cop episode.Mandatory: Seinfeld sucks. Grady reversed himself: during the exhibitions it rhymed with banana. Now it rhymes with campagna. Iby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 months ago
dag14 I watched most of the game while doing chores around the house and my impression from what I saw was that the score makes it look closer than it was. Cornell controlled most of the play and had more quality shots even though the stats are pretty balanced. Scored a SHG I think. RPI's one goal was an ENG at the end of the game. Izzy Daniel's SHG off a slick move.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 FWIW, Lehigh's sports facilities are all on the other side of a mountain from its campus. They run buses for students on game days. Yale's football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, track, tennis, golf venues are more than a mile from campus. Crew races 10+ miles from campus.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

scoop85 Ken711 Why does Cornell run their smallest RB Ean Pope at 5'7" 170lbs into the line on 3rd and 1? He gets stuffed every time. Our running back usage never ceases to amaze Carothers hurt again? Nice Pope cut on TD but too small for primary running back.by Al DeFlorio - Other Sports
