Re: 2007-08 fan wishlist - 17 years ago
ugarteBen Rocky 04 I don't think you'd find hardly anyone In fact, why have the glass at all! (In other words, at least one person disagrees.) I said hardly anyone. Also, without any glass wouldn't the game stop like three times as often because the puck left the rink? Wouldn't it also mean the players could be easily checked into the crowd, possibly injuring themselves, the crowd, and damagiby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: 2007-08 fan wishlist - 17 years ago
KeithKWell, since this is a wish list I'd go for a third option. How about having the state legislature pass changes to liability rules that would explicitly prevent someone from suing over injuries as a spectator at a sporting event. It should be as the back of the ticket claims. Sit in the stands where pucks can go flying and watch at your own risk. That way we can have low glass and no netby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Point Guard Prospect Denied Admission to Cornell - 17 years ago
Al DeFlorioI'm sorry he didn't have the background to be admitted, but delighted that Cornell is willing to stick to its admissions standards even with highly-sought-after recruits. I wouldn't want it any other way. Yea, I'm with you. This makes me a little proud.by Ben Rocky '04 - Other Sports

Re: "And Then There Was One" - 17 years ago
RobbI strongly disagree. When you're up by 3 with 20 to go, the table has been set, the candles have been lit, the fatted calf is cooling on the platter, and the appetizer has been served. But instead of enjoying a sumptuos repast, you choke on your foie gras, and never get to enjoy what should have been a fabulous evening. In this situation, we should thank god that Heimlich is a Cornellianby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: Two Cornell mentions on TV 2/22/07 + Colbert Report 3/21 - 17 years ago
Technically, the Fightin' 22nd does include the bottom of Cayuga Lake as the lake touches the City and Town of Ithaca, which are gerrymandered into the district. It probably has a whopping 5 miles of Finger Lakes coastline. The acid horse was hilarious.by Ben Rocky '04 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: O'Byrne playing on TW Sports right now - 17 years ago
DisplacedCornellianWhile more than happy with the quality of our goaltending at the time, I sometimes wondered what Cornell would've been like with Danis in net I refer you to the November 23, 2002 game at Lynah where Danis's 2nd period performance had him so rattled that for the rest of the game he would make a save, freeze the puck, hear the whistle and then turn around to check the net to seby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: Complaining Early About the Fall 2007 Ticket Line - 17 years ago
I'm just randomly throwing out an idea here..... but ELF users are 50 or 100 alumni (or more?) who could be persuaded to give a donation to athletics. If we actually came together and promised money as a whole, my guess would be that they'd actually listen to what we had to say. We're not Engelstad or Sandy Weil, but money talks with college administrators. I'd be willing to toss cash into a gby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Josh '99Ben Rocky 04 How could I have fogotten about the dildo?!? I guess when a person has had as much experience with dildos (dildoes?) as you have, they all start to blend together in the memory. They do all kind of just blend together into one giant dildo.by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

oceanst41Ben Rocky 04Sorry, but I'm still not over what shitty weather we dealt with going to the game @ Colgate on January 24, 2004. Ahh, we were lucky enough to reserve tickets ahead of time, however the near 3 hour ride there made us miss nearly all of the first two periods and all of the scoring. So I managed to only experience the pizza, insults and dildo delay of game. Strange enough we hby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Sorry, but I'm still not over what shitty weather we dealt with going to the game @ Colgate on January 24, 2004. Bad weather on the way up, Colgate sold out of tickets and we had to help fake with sharpies the hand markings to get more CU fans into Starr, we played down many CU skaters from injuries, Colgate students threw pizza at us, and Silverthorn was out from fighting at Lynah the previousby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Dpperk29Jim HylaDpperk29ebilmesThere are enough student Faithful that still have to make trips in the area today in the snowstorm. I'd rather be going through 10" of snow on the way to Albany than through 10" on the way home... and that is why I am going to albany... Isn't this a bit much? We know your team is there and we're not, but are you going because of the snowstorm? eveby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: ECACHL scores 3/16 - Q v. SLU - 17 years ago
scoop85KeithKscoop85Wow. I thought SLU would win this one comfortably, but it appears to be Q's day (and maybe year). Really astonishing how quickly Q has ascended in the league. Will be interesting to see if it is an aberation or if they are here to stay. It's not astonishing to me at all.

bandrews37The assistant coaches are ok, but anyone who's ever talked to Schafer knows he's more phony than a $3 bill. bandrews37There's nothing unique about playing at Cornell.

Re: A few musings from a new member... - 17 years ago
Josh '99This sounds a bit like comments some Cornell fans made in 2005 when it was said that that year's senior class (Knoepfli, Iggulden, Varteressian, Cook, Downs) wasn't going to be a huge loss with the strong rising senior class returning (Moulson, Hynes, Pegoraro, Abbott, Abbott, Gleed). Now, obviously Clarkson's rising senior class is REALLY deep, but even so, I believe the parallel standsby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
