Argue amongst yourselves. Lacrosse, we had our window (it's closed). Hockey (it's wide open, but it appears mismanaged), soccer (draft picks are gone, we are done).

Our talent hockey wise, is insane. Hopefully we catch fire and move up in the pairwise
Whether we are disappointed depends entirely on us.
Quote from: TrotskyWhether we are disappointed depends entirely on us.
Valid point.
I don't see how the lacrosse window is "closed," when most experts are picking us to be top 5 or even top 3 this year. We are a clear national title contender.
Don't discount the recruiting tool Cornell will have with the Meinig Fieldhouse for all sports,
Somebody's dealing with SAD.
Actually had a few drinks and my frustrations got the best of me. Between the Covid shut down/running into a Maryland juggernaut in lacrosse/the loss in the frozen four/syracuses last second miracle (lacrosse again)/bemidji/etc.
So my apologies.
We should have a really good lacrosse team this year.

Accepted. We've all been there.

Suggestion: Somewhere between now and January 5, 2025 substitute psychedelics for alcohol. Then visualize hockey, lacrosse, & wrestling all winning NC's in 2025, basketball winning the ILT and one round in the big dance, and football winning the IL under our new coach. For 2026, repeat for both men's and women's hockey, men's lacrosse, men's basketball, and football. With our new AD, also visualize similar improvement in women's team sports, although for various reasons this may take a few years longer.
The fact is these possibilities are not outrageous for 2025, which by itself is cause to rejoice. OTOH, other plausible predictions for 2025 (https://youtu.be/pKvOyGaXdNA?feature=shared) are not as uplifting. ::scared::

+1 lmao
being disappointed is the nature of fandom
.
Right now it's Penn State fans I almost feel sorry for. Like S.A.D., it will pass.

LOL, my oldest went to Penn State, and you couldn't be more correct. We made a Sweet 16 in my lifetime. I'm not nearly that disappointed.

Not always.
Quote from: mike1960Not always.
I was waiting for this!!! Maybe I should do it again, but in the hockey forum next time?
Sometimes faith is indeed rewarded! See you all in Vegas in April!
I saw in the athletics notes before the game that this would not only be the first Lacrosse title since 77, but the first team championship in any sport for Cornell since then. Bask in it, because it doesn't come around often

That's insane. But hasn't polo won several times? They may be club team tho. Too lazy to check

Maybe there's a semantic detail we're not appreciating here, but I'd take it up with the athletics team. The Cornell athletics article on the championship mentions the lack of titles in the first few bodies of the story: https://cornellbigred.com/news/2025/5/26/mens-lacrosse-maryland-recap.aspx. Could be that Polo does not have wide enough adoption to meet whatever definition they're using, but I'd imagine there's some criteria they're using for this claim.

I am too lazy to look up the details but this is not entirely accurate unless you preface the statement with "NCAA" team championship. We have at least one polo national championship since the 70's but polo is not an NCAA sport.

Pretty sure the distinction is championships overseen by the NCAA.

I was just looking this up the other day. In terms of non-NCAA national titles for varsity teams, Cornell has won in polo, rowing and women's gymnastics since 1977.

Wasn't aware they weren't overseen by ncaa. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for clarification.

Women's gymnastics has been an NCAA sport since 1982. But what we won was the Usag collegiate nationals. I think it's akin to an invitational.

Why are the polo teams now playing in something called Division 2? I thought there were only about 8 collegiate programs or so. Can we move up to D1?

Trivia - First NCAA Men's Lacrosse Champions - C Here! (https://www.ncaa.com/history/lacrosse-men/d1)
Well yes of course we won the first one. They alluded to that about hundred times during yesterday's game. lol
Horse sports are a whole different world... Cornell is a real player, but also schools like Sweet Briar, a powerhouse of Equestrians, and my partner's alma matter. NCAA Horsing isn't what they care about.
