Re: Cornell football 2018 - 5 years ago
Tom Lento To put this another way, winning at football is going to be expensive. You want hockey and lax to foot that bill? Well. THAT certainly changed MY mind. My answer is "Not only no - but HELL no." Can I still get a full size indoor facility for lacrosse?by TimV - Other Sports

Hate the decision not take the FG. Must be confident. Don't know why though after giving up 60+ last week.by TimV - Other Sports

Trotsky In all honesty why would we invest in a dying sport? I'd prefer it if the Ivies all dropped football in unison. Because some of us still enjoy playing and/or watching? Pro Choice.by TimV - Other Sports

Ken711 Did you expect them to win? No. But I did expect more competence than this. Not so far from being on pace for a 100-0 loss.by TimV - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
CU77 From the forum at fanlax.com: rmredlaxwas at the scrimmage yesterday and it was a beautiful, fall day in Ithaca! As noted in the IL lacrosse article it was a very competitive, fairly even game, back and forth and plenty of action. CU took more control of the game in the 3rd/early 4th before players were subbed. Clock had minimal effect and at times, the refs had some issue keeping up wiby TimV - Other Sports

Sheesh. Please let the season start. This place has become a sea of sanctimony. Lighten up folks.by TimV - Hockey
Re: HARVARD SUCKS - 5 years ago
Just a joke Jim. Not serious. I don,t even think Harvard actually sucks. Although their medical school admissions office turned me down, so THEY might.by TimV - Hockey
Re: HARVARD SUCKS - 5 years ago
You know how they make those championship T Shirts that they hand right to the teams on the field? And how the NCAA has those shirts printed in advance for each team in the Final Four (TM)? I understand those shirts they printed for the teams that DIDN'T ultimately win go to places like Africa, Korea and Nepal as humanitarian gestures. Yep. That's probably what you all are seeing.by TimV - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 TimV Jeff Hopkins '82 Figured this was the best place to post this.. While walking back from dinner in Seoul tonight on the Seoullo Skywalk (Seoul's version of the High Line), I noticed an American wearing a Sucks baseball cap coming toward me. I was so tempted to tell him "Harvard Sucks" as I passed. I didn't. But if he wasn't with his wife... Could youby TimV - Hockey

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Three guys - counting Rasimovicz who was pretty good after the 0-24 UAlbany Game and before his injury. Subtract the Albany game and the Maryland playoff (that he played despite his injury) from his season stats and he was 140-104 for 57%. Take out the Lehigh Game when he got injured and he was 133-86 for 63%. Only 6 players did better than that in D1 last year.by TimV - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Sitting outside the stadium yesterday, one Mr. Andy Noel stopped over to chat with the only Cornell fans who were around. In the course of conversation, he mentioned that we just picked up a new FOGO from of all places, Australia. Anybody know anything? His name is Tim Graham. I saw him on the televised World Games last summer, and he is great. Trevor Baptiste of Denverby TimV - Other Sports

Just my opinion: the Yale worship is waaaayyy overdone. If Teat gets a little stronger and with some offensive adjustments I think they'll be looking up at us next season. They lost a lot of talent and what they have coming in won't replace it.by TimV - Other Sports

Re: NCAA Regionals Friday 3/23 - 6 years ago
RichH billhoward Notre Dame 4-3. The last 2 minutes before the GWG were bonkers. MTU had 2-3 great chances to pull it off. Doesn't begin to describe it. MTU has a long cycling possession in the ND end, subbing in fresh players individually while the exhausted ND defense tries to keep up. At one point the puck is lying near the post about three inches from an MTU OT win. It gets swept out,by TimV - Hockey

abmarks RichH abmarks still 5th. But at least his suit fits. Someone tell Donato his suit is too big for him. It’s dad’s. Maybe dad's from 1990. Dad is mucho fatso at this point. His own team refers to him as "Donuts."by TimV - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
mike1960 TimV Not the same. Although he plays a tough schedule, he's in a much less competitive conference. He's a proven recruiter without a lot of admission constraints and a Hall-of-Fame caliber coach for sure. When you win the national title, you've essentially beaten every conference in the entire nation. No. Not even close. You beat your own conference (if you're not an at large teby TimV - Other Sports

Trotsky TimV When Ned got the team started at Union, his team was all freshman, skating against much more experienced division II teams, and, once, defeating UNH when they were the number one DIV I team in the country. His teams skated out to the Starship cut of Miracles which is far from your usual pump-up song. But with the arena lights dimmed and sequentially getting brighter as they skatedby TimV - Hockey
