Hahvahd sucks.

Always.
Speaking of Hahvahd... is there any way to get tickets to the Harvard away game?

I suggest that you find someone who goes to school there and ask them to buy tickets for you.
I figure I'll post on uscho about it... but something tells me it won't go over too well with some random Harvardite if I'm like "Hi. So, um... I want to go to the game, and, um... well, shall we say 'verbally assault' your team and school... will you buy me tickets? I'll be your best friend..." ;-)
That's why I figured I'd ask here first. :)
It doesn't have to be someone random...ask a friend
You're assuming that everybody has a friend at Hahvahd - which, from reading dss28's posts, I infer that he does not.
Beeeej
I'll chime in on this one and reiterate...
Hahvahd SUCKS!!
I will say it on my own behalf and that of Rebecca's and Nora's:
Harvard (uh, I mean Hahvahd) SUCKS :-D
(I got my tickets through a Harvard friend who is married to a Cornell MBA)
You could probably get standing room only tickets when they go on sale... All hope is not lost!
don't know if it's been mentioned ... but Hahvahd(sucks)!!!
"Give me an A!"
"A!"
"Give me another A!"
"A!"
"Welcome to Harvard!"
I thought that was one of the more creative cheers I heard at last years Harvard game. Wish I could be there this year :-(
Hahvahd SUCKS!
Along those lines, is anyone going to break out the "old" Hahvahd-specific cheers this weekend?
No anti-Harvard cheer ever gets "old." :-D
i just wanted to something quite important. always remember that hahvahd sucks.

Actually, the "Welcome to Harvard" cheer has been around at least since the 2001-2002 season (the last time I made it to a Cornell-Harvard game; actually the last three times ;-)).
yep, this is my 4th year in section a, right on the aisle. "hockey geek?" at least it's affectionate.
john whelan is correct, we've been doing that cheer since my sophomore year. it makes one hell of a great sign or saying, and causes limitless trademark infringement problems with potential t-shirt design, as mr hyla can attest to.

And not everyone at Harvard has a friend. Take my former boss for instance. He sucked. And for that matter, Hahvahd sucks.
Anybody traveling from the NYC/LI area for this weekend?
I'm looking for either a ride, or just a carpool "buddy" (with myself being the driver). So I'm flexible, with the main goal being getting to Ithaca sometime on Friday evening or early Saturday.
Let me know...thanks!
Jordan,
I'm in Hartford, and ordinarily I'd be up for being a carpool buddy, but I can't go up this weekend, unfortunately.
But feel free to keep me in mind for future trips :-)

We may love the rivalry, but we most definitely do not love Harvard.

CORNELL'S INSECURE :-/
we are, aren't we?
i mean, we even have a song titled "We Didn't Go To Hahvahd," in which the lyrics clearly state that "we didn't get in." of course, it also mentions that "we're not that cockey, and [hahvahd] can't play hockey."

I don't think it's wrong, especially if it's Brown... I know I laughed my tuchass off a few years ago when the skating bear skated into the goal and his head fell off during the final game striptease...

It's a sign of how thoroughly we took over John Harvard's that that cheer rang out in the tavern both pre and post-game, and no one got beaten up or tossed out. Of course, it took me about five steps into the Hong Kong lounge to get hassled over my Cornell jersey. (By someone too drunk to realize the Red had won.)

Don't ask me why, but I have "When Doves Cry" in my head.
I wonder if we could change the lyrics to something along the lines of: "This is what it sounds like when Dov cries!"? If we happen to meet up with Sucks again in the future, I wonder how the band would feel about playing this song? ;-)

What's a Harvard?
It's like a team, except they choke. Well, but they're not really a choke, they're more like a funnel. Actually I wouldn't say funnel, they're kinda a vacuum. Maybe vacuum isn't the word, they're a singularity in the space-time continuum. Though, it's not accurate to call them a singularity in the space-time continuum... they're just Sucks.

I just want to point out that, despite their big win over BC last night, Harvard does still, in fact, suck.
I can't go to Ithaca for the game tomorrow night. I will also miss the game on CSTV. So, Hahvahd really, truly sucks.

Does Harvard not not suck?
[quote Josh '99]Does Harvard not not suck?[/quote]
Perhaps.
Hey guys, after we beat them 3-2 last fall, we should have done the following cheer:
"3 points is a field goal, 2 points is a safety, safety school, safety school!"
That's a great cheer and not the least bit completely fucking retarded.
Ross Perot was wrong. That giant sucking sound wasn't NAFTA it was........
OK, here is another reason why Harvard sucks (Warning: attempted name dropping follows).
I am a beginner hockey player and I accidentally found myself in a way-over-my-head pickup game yesterday where three players were literally skating circles around me. It turns out they they all played for Harvard in the early 90s (Ian Knish?, Bejamin something and something something).
After the game I told them that I had gone to Cornell and had probably cheered against them many times. They said "Oh yeah we are your biggest rival but you are like our sixth biggest rival". That may have been true in the early 90s but I would like to think that we are in their top five by now.:)
At least they acknowledged that Lynah was the best place to play.

Ian Kennish. Decent utility guy, nothing special. And probably Ben Coughlin, who actually scored a fair amount.
Can't help you on the third guy.
Any of you guys that have been following the team for (quite) awhile remember Harry Reynolds from '69-'71?
I found one article so far in which it listed Harry and his 3rd-line mates as providing the fore-checking and a goal to upset #1 B.U. to make the ECAC final in 1971. I am just curious because I play goal in a pick-up skate with him.
http://theharvardcrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=355407
Harry seemed to try a little harder when I wore my Chabot #1 red jersey the other night. I noticed he switched from the dark jersey he had on into a white Harvard practice jersey so he could play against me. He always wears his original Crimson pants, too. I shut him down though. :-)

[quote CU at Stanford]I don't work for Stanford (Hahvahd of the West, some would say)[/quote]
Well, I would say that Stanford is more of a Cornell of the West, given their origins:
http://ezra.cornell.edu/posting.php?timestamp=1097125200#question10
I'm just glad AD White didn't take the bait.
Anyway, Uncle Ezra's version is corroborated with the Stanford website:
QuoteThe first student body consisted of 559 men and women, and the original faculty of 15, seven of them originally from Cornell University, was expanded to 49 for the second year. From the beginning, Stanford was co-educational and, like Johns Hopkins and Cornell, followed the German model of providing graduate as well as undergraduate instruction and stressing research along with teaching. Dr. Jordan installed the major subject system with electives at the outset, rather than the more common rigid curriculum of classical studies.
http://www.stanford.edu/home/stanford/history/begin.html#Jordan
I seem to remember hearing that the CU Physics faculty was more hostilely raided by Stanford a few decades later.

Having just finished a cross-country roadtrip and having wandered U-Dub's, Reed's, Stanford's, Cal's, CalTech's, Texas's and USF's campuses, I'd say Stanford's stood out as the most gorgeous and unique. I really do like Mission Revival architecture, but it wouldn't belong in Ithaca. Our beloved alma matter's is the nicest campus I've seen though, no question, and in no small part due to the lack of uniform style. Cornell's randomness is one of my favorite things about it, right up there with the lack of Federal-style buildings. God I hate the Federal style.

Eclecticism is one thing... ugly is another entirely. I could do without
Old Rusty
Olin Library (which replaced the gorgeous Boardman Hall)
The "new" Roberts & Kennedy (which replaced the gorgeous old Roberts and Stone)
Clark Hall
These ones are the only ones that really "offend" me. Bradfield is ugly, but far enough away that I don't really care. The Ives extension could do with more windows, but trees will make it less stark over the next 20 years. Olin Lab (the chemistry lab, not the chem-e lab) is reasonably well-hidden by trees on one side and by Baker on the other. And thankfully, Duffield, while not the most beautiful building on campus, is at least not butt-ugly and has succesfully hidden most of the 50's hideosity of the engineering quad from the rest of campus.
Even the new west campus dorms aren't too bad. Sure, I would rather they had completed the original planned exterior for west and just rearranged the interiors to better support community needs, but at least they aren't ugly. They are a strict upgrade from the U-Halls.

I've heard people say that before, but I totally disagree. The U-Halls were bland but ignorable; I find these new things to be ugly and in-your-face, even from the top of Libe. Given the choice of two ugly things, I'd rather go with the one I won't notice.

I'd agree that the west campus dorms look like prisons, and they could definitely have made the place into Ivy-fairyland by making the new dorms look like the Gothics (soooo expensive)...

The Johnson Museum is hideous from the outside if you're close to it. From downtown, it's pretty amazing. If you're standing in Cass Park by the inlet, especially at sunset (probably at sunrise, too, but I've never been there at dawn), it's striking and has a great deal of aesthetic appeal. It's almost like the architect designed it to be viewed from a great distance, and completely ignored anything that might make the exterior visually appealing up close.

Amen. It really pissed me off in 1993 when I was at Franklin Field for the 100th anniversary (and 100th game, as it turned out) of the Cornell-Penn rivalry and the Penn band, in their halftime show, basically said "We don't give a damn about the rivalry, we're about to go 10-0!" It also pissed me off that they did, even though were were had a double-digit lead at halftime.

This seems like the right thread for this. I went to the EHC Eisbären Berlin match today, and the opposing goalie for "Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg" was none other than Oliver Jonas, Harvard '01. He gave up 5 goals as Berlin won 5-1. He actually used to play for the Eisbären, so the fans gave him an especially hard time. :-D

What are you trying to say?
Recent research at Weill Cornell concerning the oral anatomy suggessts that Harvard may also blow. But for now, only Harvard's sucking is supported by any statistical significance. ::rock::
I'm surprised it took 'til Tuesday. Especially when you consider that Harvard sucks any day of the week.
I thought I heard a vacuum but I think it's just that I'm in NYC and Harvard is coming in a few days.

To be fair, I've seen that dude at every game I've been to in Allston for the past few years. With the paint and the helmet. And he walks to the game like that with a giant flag. Even in February. And he doesn't really give us any shit, like some of the other punks. I think he just really likes Harvard Hockey. To sum up, that guy may be the thing that sucks the least about Harvard Hockey. But I guess that's not saying much.
Also of note, the following is up on the Harvard tickets page:
[Q]Cornell Ticket Information for Harvard Undergrads
Registration for tickets will begin Wednesday, November 14th at 3pm
by clicking on the below link
There are 300 student tickets available.
Students who successfully register for a ticket must pick up the ticket at the Science Center on Thursday, November 15th between 11am - 1pm. Any unclaimed tickets will be available at the rink on a first-come, first-serve basis on the night of the game beginning at 6pm (to Harvard Undergrads only).
Please note that a valid Harvard student ID must be presented on the night of the game with your student ticket. Anyone presenting a student ticket without a HUID will have the ticket revoked and will not be admitted to the game. [/Q]
http://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9000&ATCLID=515968
First time I remember seeing a specific procedure just for the Cornell game. Maybe they're expecting 300 undergrads not to go to New Haven? I guess that's a warning to CU fans not to buy Harvard undergrad tickets on the street.

"Cornell fans regularly outnumber and outcheer the Harvard section when the two teams meet in Cambridge. This year, any hope of home ice advantage, if it ever truly existed, will go out the window, as the "home" crowd will be more hostile than what you'll find at most road contests."

Harvard Crimson on Cornell Fans (http://www.thecrimson.harvard.edu/article.aspx?ref=520765)::uptosomething::
It's pretty sad that they'd rather limit their attendance and forgo the concessions sales than let Cornell fans buy Harvard students' tickets. if the Harvard undergrads want to make some drug money scalping to us, let em.
[quote Trotsky]It's pretty sad that they'd rather limit their attendance and forgo the concessions sales than let Cornell fans buy Harvard students' tickets. if the Harvard undergrads want to make some drug money scalping to us, let em.[/quote]
Sounds like a reasonable sacrifice given the specific circumstances. It's a one time (per year) thing and the amount of concessions money lost if a hundred or so seats are empty is not exactly going to break the bank.
If the only goal was maximizing revenue they wouldn't offer tickets to Harvard undergrads at all. Just hold a public auction for those tickets. Cornell alums would certainly outspend Harvard people.
Jesus, it's two hours and change from Cambridge to New Haven, and the football game is at noon. And truly dedicated Harvard fan could easily make the trip down in the morning, or, hell, even after the hockey game. How many of us have seen a Cornell-Harvard game Friday night and travelled to from Ithaca or Cambridge to Philly for the Cornell-Penn game the next day?

JTW,
Are you one of those engineering guys that looked forward to the 8 hour lab on Fridays? Something tells me yes.
Wake up, will ya?
The Harvard - Yale game has nothing to do with football. It is about the tailgate - most people never even set foot in the stadium.
Most folks will head down to New Haven the night before and booze it up and continue boozing before, during, and after the game.
That said, good luck on friday night. Crowd or no crowd, the way this Harvard team is playing, you guys are gonna need it.

[quote bothman]Are you one of those engineering guys[/quote]
What a horrible thing to say to a scientist. :-(:-D
Take off the red glasses.
Harvard ain't winning a NC this year, and neither is Cornell. But Harvard is remarkedly better than last year. Can you say the same for Cornell?
I don't put a lot of stake in home wins against union or rpi (though 2 shutouts is solid), but a 6-1 win at slu and a 2-1 loss at clarkson when those teams had played 6-7 games, there is some significance in those games.
The proof will be in the pudding on Friday night. If Cornell takes it to Harvard, I will eat crow on Monday. Time will tell.

One more reason why they don't get any fan support. Although, maybe for the next game, Eliot House residents will show up in force with "Harvard Sucks" signs.

Quote"Apparently someone called [the Harvard police], and [the attackers] ran like the little pussies they are," House resident Robert L. Kulwin '08 wrote. "Too bad that while [their] 1200 [SAT score] was good enough to get them in here it [isn't] good enough to get them a job after they leave."
I'd like to imagine that Mr. Kulwin continued by saying "For most of us, it actually takes a parent who went to Harvard to both get us in here and get us a job after we leave. And real men don't run like little pussies when the police are coming, they get arrested and then call Daddy to bail them out."

Also are they referring to the good old fashioned SAT where the top score was 1600 like the good lord intended, or this new 2400 abomination?

HARVARD SUCKS!!!
QED
I'm going to the Quinnipiac-Harvard game on Saturday, taking my sister-in-law's family, including her 11-year-old, sports-crazed son, who requested we see a hockey game this weekend. Of course, I knew there would be tickets available for this one...duh!
Horror-of-horrors, though, I can actually see where Harvard winning could be to our benefit. But how can I possibly root for them? It goes against everything I've ever believed in and stood for. Aarrrggghhhh!!!
So, I call on all deities, hockey and otherwise, to please let the game be exciting, let them beat the snot out of each other, let Richter and Fisher get lit up all night, and in the waning minutes, let the ice open up and swallow them all.
Quinnipiac sucks, but Harvard Really Sucks!

This is easy. You don't root FOR Harvard, you root AGAINST Quinnipiac. Yes, there's a difference.

Harvard clearly does not suck.. Much better than the "Big Red"
I've been doing some research on the subject, and I have come to the conclusion that HARVARD SUCKS. That is all.
I'm surprised no one has posted anything about this http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news;_ylt=AtOkFFKEiIdUhDdQ2U9IamY5nYcB?slug=dw-harvardscandal030208&prov=yhoo&type=lgns on here yet...unless it's for the other topics zone.
Edit: Yup, there's discussion here: http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?7,126801
As INCH points out in their updated Power Rankings:
The Crimson are now 5-1-0 in their last six games against Cornell, including two wins at Lynah Rink on the Big Red's Senior Night to close the regular season.
Additionally, each of those games (including the win) were rather ugly performances by Cornell.
Next year would appear to be a critical one for the staff and program.
As I pointed out in the postgame, these have been key games:
-2006 Senior Night, with 1st place ECAC and 1st place Ivy on the line
-2006 ECAC final
-2007 last game of the regular season, which capped a zero point weekend
-2008 season sweep by Harvard, including Senior Night with home ice on the line

In '07 they were sliding down a razor blade for the final month, so any given loss over that period was, sadly but not shockingly, the team playing to its real level.
But the two Senior Night losses... Those are the very games Schafer teams win. They do hurt, even for those of us who see the glass as always 90% full. They appear to be failures to get the job done when all the "intangibles" line up in the team's favor.
The season starts on Friday. If they wrangle a return to Albany when all's said and done, this season is a success. Otherwise, it's a placeholder putting one more year between them and the phenomena of the early decade.
Bumpity Bump!
That was quick.
third time is the charm, right?
I now know one way to get revenge for the senior night loss and harvard's first season series win in the Schafer era.
It's been 7 years since we met in the semis. If I remember correctly, David Francis was the hero last time.

We regularly have 5-12 students who transfer here from Cornell, and they all say the workload at Cornell is so much more intense." Now mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean students at CU learn more than at SUcks. However, depending on what you mean by "safety," the label may be apropos.

Too bad he's not a goalie.
Good God do they suck. This time losing in the Badger Showdown to Lake State and Alabama-Huntsville by a combined 10-3 score. You know, if you invite Harvard to a tournament, any tournament, you know exactly where you can write them in. And do it in ink. Right next to the line that says P-A-T-S-Y.
At this point, I wouldn't blame BC, BU, and NU if they drop-kicked the Cantabs into the Charles and asked the Tufts JV squad to take their place in the Beanpot.
Holy Fuck.

Harvard is 4-2-0 at home and 0-7-2 at road and neutral sites.
Today marks the two month anniversary of Harvard's most recent win. With just one home game in the next month, and no wins away from Bright to day, the streak could run on for a while.
Is this the year they finally win the beanpot?

Quote from: StubHub.comHarvard Crimson Hockey Tickets – Ivy League Greatness
Harvard Crimson hockey tickets are always tough to find when hockey season comes around in the ECAC. The Crimson are always well-supported by students, fans and alumni alike, so don't wait too long to get your tickets. If you do, you may just find yourself on the outside looking int. Don't miss this incredible action. Get your tickets now!
Harvard Crimson Hockey Tickets – What are you Waiting for?
College hockey has been a big deal at Harvard for a long time. Though the Crimson are not always the cream of the ECAC, they have earned a reputation of being a scrappy bunch of competitors who take a great amount of pride in defending their home ice and knocking off the big dogs when they come to town. So what are you waiting for? This team is very good and out for a championship. Check them out!
Harvard Crimson Hockey Tickets – Don't Miss Out
Harvard hockey has long had a great tradition of providing the owners of NCAA hockey tickets to these games with an amazing experience they will never forget. These boys may be Ivy League, but don't let that fool you into thinking they are soft. Harvard takes on all comers, and they give their opponents all they can handle. Check out a game soon!

And on NESN. Current attendance appears to be about on par for most harvard games.
Harvard up 1-0 on a Biega goal.
1-0 Harvard after 1. BU all over the Crimson, hitting a post and missing a couple wide open nets.
Harvard ppg, 2-0, and now another pp upcoming.
Keep your eyes to the sky, as Harvard is crashing back down to earth.
2-2 now, with a PP coming up for BU.
BU dominating, still tied early in the third.
3-2 BU
edit: and Harvard ties it at 3 around 5:00 remaining
edit: about 2:00 to go and BU goes on the PP
edit: And BU scores. . .

Just like them to wait for the last minute to make a move. Let's hope they don't have yet another late revival and end up in Albany.
Northeastern up 5-1 over BC starting the 3rd.
6-1 NU final. #1 vs. #3 in the final.
From Dan Shaughnessy's article about the Harvard-BU game in today's Boston Globe:
Poor Harvard (how many times does one get to type those words?). Folks in The Yard just don't appreciate our local hockey festival. Like the opening of deer season in Minnesota and the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, the Beanpot is one of those events appreciated only by local practitioners of the craft. Boston University, Boston College, and Northeastern identify with college hockey in a way Harvard never will understand. And that is why there were so few Crimson jerseys in the Garden last night and so few folks listening to Alex Biega and friends on "Top Shelf" between periods.
"We're used to it," said Biega. "We don't get much attendance at our games."
Except for 2.:-D
And one of them is even in Cambridge!
Lest it get pushed off the front page during Fish & Fowl Week...
Bump.
It's late afternoon on the second Monday in February and that can only mean one thing-- time for Harvard to play in the Beanpot consolation game. They play underachieving BC at 5 (don't think it's televised but should be on web radio somewhere). The ECAC could really use a Harvard win here.
BU/NU in what should be a good one is on NESN at 8.

Yeah, but look what they are doing for the rest of us! As reported over the past month and again in The New York Times Sunday Styles section, (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/fashion/06harvard.html?_r=1&ref=) Harvard has a 10 year licensing agreement for a line of preppy clothing modeled after the 60s. It willed be named "Harvard Yard" and is described by the creative director as "We want to combine the power of Harvard with the power of a plaid shirt."
Now, I for one am not entirely happy with the whole "Harvard Sucks" idea, but this is enough to be converted.

Biking around the Duke campus this weekend, I was struck by how Cornell must have looked to someone who attended before all the elm trees died. It's a terrible shame Cornell didn't move to replace the forest sooner, because now I fear we are stuck with Cornell feeling like a city, with trees in planters, rather than buildings nestled in the spaces between trees.

Not to further the thread-drift, but when I was back on campus in July I was struck by how much taller the trees on Ho Plaza had gotten since I graduated four years ago. So maybe we can get back to that time one day.
P.S. Harvard sucks.

Rooting for Hahavahd is fine in this situation because then you get to complain about how much they suck after they lose again.

Harvard sucks so much they even spread it to TV:
QuoteToo small to pursue his fantasy of playing football for the Miami Dolphins, Zucker took to writing local sports stories for The Miami Herald. He continued his writing career as an undergraduate at Harvard University, where he covered sports for The Harvard Crimson. He later became president of the publication. It was at Harvard that Zucker first met Conan O'Brien, now an NBC late-night host, who worked for humor magazine the Harvard Lampoon. As a prank, O'Brien's staff stole all the Crimson issues one day before they could be delivered. Zucker called the cops. "My first meeting with Jeff Zucker was in handcuffs, with a Cambridge police officer reading me my rights," says O'Brien.

For all their suckiness, guess who holds the mythical championship belt right now? Yep...SUCKS
Here's the trail, as I followed it:
BU starts, having won the chamiponship last season.
10/16 BU loses to UMass 3-2
10/31 UMass loses to Providence 2-1
11/8 Providence loses to Vermont 3-0
11/14 Vermont loses to BC 7-1
11/15 BC loses right back to Vermont 3-2
11/24 Vermont loses to UMass 6-2
11/28 UMass loses to Quinnipiac 5-4
12/4 Quinnipiac loses to Yale 7-4
1/12 Yale loses to Harvard 3-2, and Harvard holds it against Dartmouth on 1/18 by a score of 4-1
I didn't check everyone's upcoming schedule for non-conference play, but assuming Harvard gives it up to Union, RPI, or Princeton before their annual Beanpot debacle, FWIW the ECAC could hold it into this year's playoffs.
And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. Gotta find a job one of these days.

And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. Gotta find a job one of these days.
Unfortunately already reported on Other Scores, Jan 8-10, 2010 thread. But it was nice to see the trail.
And yes, find a job.Not that it stops posting.:-}
Mea culpa. Serves me right for getting a new computer and clearing too many of the unreads, without paying enough attention to content.

Why are you assuming Harvard is going to lose in the Beanpot?
::laugh::
Yeah, I couldn't say that with a straight face. It's because they suck and they always tank in the Beanpot. Carry on.
RIP.
But Harvard still sucks.
FWIW, The Belt is currently disputed. Wisconsin beat Yale in a shootout on January 3 and also claimed The Belt. That Belt is currently held by Colorado College. The official rules, however, state that The Belt does not transfer by shootouts.
So what's with the ECAC website having links to 3 articles on Harvard. Now I know that Harvard generally plays better in the second half, but 3 articles? One from that well known Patriot Ledger. Basically they all say the same thing. Harvard is up and down, they are doing better, and this is a down year for Beanpot teams. Maybe they can do it this year?
Multi-sport sucking is even sweeter. At least Harvard hoops is not currently suffering from the peculiar-to-Harvard self-esteem issue, as described in Doonesbury.
This is probably buried somewhere in TBRW or similar stats (gad, is there nothing we do not collect and parse?). When did Cornell most dominate Harvard? It could be a single season, it could be the three- or four-year of one class, there could be extra credit for wins in sports Cornell cares about. I would say it would need to include a sweep in hockey or at least a wondrous comeback in the playoffs, plus lacrosse, plus football (uh-oh), probably soccer since Harvard takes that seriously.

Harvard doesn't care about lacrosse, though. It ought to be in sports both teams value (maximize their suffering).
Quote from: TrotskyHarvard doesn't care about lacrosse, though.
They do now, since they hired Cornell Alum John Tillman, '91. He's been pulling in Blue Chip recruits and will make some noise this year. I think they're preseason ranked No. 11 and third in the Ivies.

The Cantabs could be getting better and Harvard still might not care. It would be nice for Harvard to hover near the top ten and be a close game each year in their loss to us.

Wait, wait, wait. This competition has to be either about things Harvard students value or sports. It cannot be both. :-}

Harvard cares. If you assume that hockey is important to Harvard, then the deciding factor is clearly NOT student participation or general attendance. So the fact that they finally burst out of "Harvard tradition mode" by getting rid of Scott Anderson who followed Bob Scalise and hiring an acknowledged top assistant (Tillman was thought to be next in line at Navy) and getting several of the most nationally sought-after recruits tells me they care. They've lately had guys on the cover of Inside Lacrosse and the Great Atlantic Lacrosse catalog. Those things have never happened before for Harvard, like they never happened before for us before Max.

Well, you

might be overkill.
I think it was more fun to bump this thread a bunch of times as the game approached. It almost seems less obvious when it's stuck around all the tech support threads.

If fish are moronic, only morons will have fish. ::nut::
It's not right to call these potential fish throwers morons. If they aren't ELF readers, how can you expect them to know what the right thing to do is in this unprecedented (I think) situation. I personally don't think it will be a problem when some people likely throw fish this weekend. Who says you can't have more than one "fish game" in a season? Oh right, ELFers say that as if it's self-evident.

I think (hope) that the people concerned about morons are referring to people who throw anything on the ice after the first note of the Canadian anthem has been struck. I'm in the camp that would prefer to see fish only for the regular season game, but I also wouldn't refer to people who throw before the anthems as morons.

Agree, I know that I, for sure, and I think all other posters here are referring to throwing after, when it has a chance of a penalty. If you reread the posts, you'll see mention of wrong time, penalty, etc..
As I've said, I'd not prefer none in post season, mainly because of potential penalties. However if they must, I hope you can spread the word on throwing etiquette, and save the team from a penalty.
Quote from: imafrshmnin this unprecedented (I think) situation.
In '00, when Harvard came calling for a quintafinal series, athletics hung giant signs at the entrances threatening fish throwers and stepped up searches at the doors. Fish still made its way on to the ice before each game of course.
That series also featured a lot of abuse for this guy: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2000/2/3/the-v-spot-cornell-sucks-pthis/

Yes, "morons" meant people who throw stuff on the ice after the accepted time. I can understand the idea of wanting to have it just the one R.S. Harvard game per year, but it's still against Harvard. Spreading it to against other teams would be just plain ridiculous, but I view getting them for a home playoff series as bonus Harvard games, so thow 'em if you got 'em, with of course the caveat that being a playoff game it's all the more important it's done responsibly.

(But we lost) and after that game, everything went down and we didn't really catch a break. It was really disappointing."

Sending Harvard's season into a downward spiral has to be the second best thing the team did this past season (after winning the ECAC, of course).
I don't think we can take the whole credit for their demise, some has to go to Donato.

Hopefully a good long time. (Wouldn't want them to actually pick a good coach one of these days...)
More on Leblanc - according to Bob McKenzie on twitter http://www.twitter.com/tsnbobmckenzie, his rights in the Q were traded from Chicoutimi to Montreal yesterday. There's a few tweets about it from approximately 4 PM yesterday. McKenzie speculates that if he leaves, a main reason will be the late start date to Ivy League teams' seasons causing him to be overlooked for a spot on the Canadian World Juniors team.
It's still more than seven weeks away, and I'm already excited about Lynah East. Drop the puck!!
The gravitational attraction force between Harvard and another mass is inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance. The force is always attractive and acts along the line joining them.

Effect. As noun, means result; as verb, means to bring about, accomplish (not to be confused with affect, which means "to influence". )
As noun, often loosely used in perfunctory writing about fashions, music, painting, and other arts: "an Oriental effect;" "effects in pale green;" "very delicate effects;" "broad effects;" "subtle effects;" "a charming effect was produced by." The writer who has a definite meaning to express will not take refuge in such vagueness.

Yeah Harvard is better this year although the fan support could be less because I think a lot of the fan support had to do with Lin
Looks like they are desperate to find fans they are giving away tickets and t shirts to encourage another fan to come to the game.

1-1 start lynah east living up to name. Good game so far a few to many turnovers. Looking forward to stronger 2nd.
With the win, Cornell has 5 straight wins against Harvard, their longest streak since 6 straight during the Silver Age of '02-04. Schafer is 21-9-1 in regular season games (http://www.tbrw.info/weekly_Updates/schafer_Opps_ECAC.html) against them: 10-4-1 in Fish N Fowl and 11-5-0 at Lynah East.
When Mike became coach Cornell was 41-45-5 all-time vs Harvard and had just gone 2-20-3 from the infamous 11-3 Lynah loss to the end of the McCutcheon era. Since then Cornell is 30-12-2.
Thank you, Schafer.

Yeah, they have had a string of them, haven't they.
During which, Harvard won 4 ECAC championships. There are 10 other ECAC teams that dream of such a string...
Tomassoni - 140-115-26 - ECAC Regular Season Champs - 91-92, 92-93, 93-94 - ECAC Tournament Champs - 93-94 - Frozen Four 93-94
Mazzolini - 82-72-11 - ECAC Tournament Champs 01-02, 03-04
Donato - 95-102-20 - ECAC Tournament Champs 05-06
In Donato's first two years with Mazzolini's players he went 21-10-3 and 21-12-2 with two NCAA appearances and an ECAC Tournament Championship. Since then he has went 53-83-15 not counting this year' 4-16-0 mark. Perhaps Tomassoni was not so bad after all????
Don't bother me with facts and details! Those three men coached for Harvard so clearly they sucked. Case closed!

I guess it depends on whether you're of the Clarkson school of thought (regular season is more important) or the Cornell school of thought (postseason is more important). If you're a postseason believer, I think you would say that RT underachieved after inheriting a team just one year removed from winning a national championship, with players like Ted Donato and Ted Drury, and then basically ran it into the ground after 1994. Mazz, on the other hand, had to compete with the great Cornell teams of the early '00s and still managed a couple of conference championships. And Donato is just in over his head, and pretty much has been all along.
The one thing they all have in common is that they're easy to dislike.
Easy to dislike is an understatement...they are all that is bad and evil in this world, certainly in New England at the very least.

Not directly related to your question, but from the USCHO report on the BC-BU game:
QuoteThe win for BC (20–6–0) sets up the second rarest championship game matchup behind only a Harvard-Northeastern title tilt, which still hasn't happened in the tournament's 59-year history.

They have shootouts in the Beanpot? Jesus H. Christ, our civilization has failed.

The Beanpot consolation game has gone to OT five times (most recently in 1987) and has never ended in a tie, though from the information I was able to find I wasn't able to tell whether that's because they would play infinite OT or just that the games have ended quickly. I asked on USCHO and it appears that they would play 5 minutes of OT, not clear but I guess they'd end in a tie at that point, which is what generally seems to be done in consolation games.

Wonderful to know that Harvard's annual Beanpot flop will be complete today, weakening the NCAA hopes of ECAC teams like always.
Holy Crap! I just looked at the USCHO scoreboard and Harvard won. And this despite being outshot 49-29 and going 0-4 on the PP while BU went 3-6. Did Millan drink too much before the game or something?

I am not sure the adverb is appropriate since Harvard and Sucks are equivalencies and in this case Sucks and Harvard are nouns.

During the revolution the term Yankee was used derisively by the British but it stuck and is now part of our cultural identity. Could we turn this trash into something we could use. For example "The Faithful, boorish and obnoxious for 45 years. Harvard Sucks"" I am sure others can do better.

That was basically how "Hooligans with Horns" came about.

I see nothing that is incorrect in the article. When Sucks fans outnumber the Red when the teams meet, rise and sing their alma mater with out the help of a prompter then perhaps they will have the right to put a different name on Lynah East. In other words, Hell will freeze over and students will start getting B's at Hahvard before the earn the right to change the name.

There's a link on that page to their media guide from 2005-06. So people at Harvard are so apathetic about hockey that either nobody has noticed, or nobody has bothered to correct it despite every single person who reads it having the ability to do so, for more than
five years.

FWIW, the wikipedia entry for Lynah itself is overdue for updating. It still refers to the 2006-7 renovation in the future tense and talks about Cornell's "recent" successful seasons at Lynah, listing the 2001-2, 2002-3, and 2003-4 seasons.

Hahvard sucks
No postgame thread? I guess everyone who doesn't have to beg to take a GRE on standby tomorrow morning is out partying.
We looked good. All six goals happened at the other end of the ice, so I couldn't tell exactly what happened on most of them. Our last goal was pretty slick, with the shooter (was it D'Agostino?) picking out the open spot after a nice pass and burying it.
Harvard's crowd was pretty pathetic, and went with "suck it red" as their go-to cheer. They didn't seem to appreciate it when I told them that if that's all they could come up with, they needed to go to a better school.
Their "You can't do that!" cheer after a penalty wasn't awful, but by and large, they were pretty useless. And wow, it really was Lynah East over there. Heck of a glove save by Iles in the 2nd. Shame we weren't able to keep our pressure up all game.
This was my first game of the year and I liked what I saw in the first. Harvard seemed to out play us in the second and it wad fairly balanced in the third. Lots of penalties on us in the 2nd and 3rd... I couldn't tell if this was from sloppy play or the refs just being a bit quick with the whistle. I don't think we even had a power play after the first.
Andy had a good game. Just as Dafatone mentioned, terrific glove save in the 2nd.
Overall great win... Lets see if we can grab another 2 points at Dartmouth tomorrow!

Agreed 2 points at Dartmouth would put us in fantastic position. I'm really optimistic about this years squad.
Great game last night. Cornell looked awesome in relation to Harvard for the first ten minutes, but then Harvard stepped up their game and kept it close most of the rest of the way. Offensively, Cornell looks more dynamic than I've ever seen them: I saw guys make moves that I've never seen from Cornell players, including an odd little deke in the corner that put the Harvard defender out of the play for a few seconds. Defensively, they actually didn't look too bad, though they definitely need to polish their game: they look more physical than I've seen in a few years, something I think they have really needed to get back to.
On a personnel note, Ryan looks like fun: he's one of these guys who looks a bit crazy and did things last night that I know I wasn't able to anticipate. "Inventive" might be a good word for it. Definitely not the typical Cornell defender, but it's probably good to have someone who's on the very edge of the system.

D'Ags made a comment to this effect after the Mercyhurst game (I think), when he said playing with Ryan was great but he had to keep alert every second because the guy does stuff he'd never think to do.
I don't know how long it will be before they fix this, but it's worth a look while it lasts. I guess Harvard figured they couldn't win with their own guys, so they took ours:

Not sure about the cake, as I've never had it - but they currently have a "Double Chocolate Torte" on their menu with Finger Lakes Distilling Rye Whiskey Caramel, and I know Finger Lakes Distilling is a relatively new business.

As the offspring of a university librarian, this is pretty sucky:

As a school librarian, I agree. Harvard may be firing all of its librarians, but at least its men's basketball team is getting national attention

Ok, I need help. I'm bringing down a couple of SU grads for the game tonight. We'd like to eat somwhere convenient to get to the rink, where we can watch the beginning of the SU-ND basketball game. It starts at 6 PM, so I figure we can see the first half-hour, or so, of their game. So food, convience, and TV with SU bball ae the requirements. Any suggestions?

I know Yale was the school to pull this off, but the video (http://www.harvardsucks.org/Watch-the-Video/) of this prank against Harvard fans is very appropriate to bring back into our collective consciousness today.

The Chapter House hasn't served food in a really long time. Or is my sarcasm filter just busted?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think The Chapter House has food anymore, other than awesome popcorn. I would suggest Ruloff's or CTB, which are even more convenient to the rink. And getting even closer, I'm pretty sure you can get food in the Regent Lounge at the Statler hotel as well, and they have TVs around the bar.
This is my opinion only if Harvard sucks, which I neglected to mention.

Thanks, the Regent Lounge seems the best idea yet. Especially if no food at The Chapter House. Having graduated in '67, how do I know? But I called the Regent, the game will be on, we can park first and walk to the game later. Everyone's happy.
Thanks again, I knew I could count on all of ya.
I highly recommend the Regent's onion rings with chipotle sauce. They may also have Rogue Dead Guy on tap. All in all, a very underrated place to go before a game.

On another note, this article (http://www.hockeyjournal.com/news/colleges/ecac_hockey/2011-12/ECAC_Hockey_Journal-_Harvard_making_move_at_perfect_time) was just posted to the ECAC website. I am happy that there is still room for honesty in journalism:

"Harvard Hockey 24/7" -- egad. I'd rather invite Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers over to my house for a steak dinner.
24/7 is a rough approximation of the number of fans they have.

a Beanpot beatdown by a Hockey East school is right around the corner
they play Boston Univ (#3) at 5pm on Monday Feb 6th

Harvard really does have a spectacular record of fail in the Beanpot (http://www.beanpothockey.com/results.html).
Since 1999 they are (1-12) in SFs. Needless to say they lost their only final in that span (in 2008). 1-13 .071 in title-contention games. Nice job, boys.

Harvard audio is at WHRB's site. The announcers sound prepubescent but the sound quality is about 9.3 BSRs (British Standard Redcasts).

The only guy complaining is the trophy maker. He had to scratch "Harvard" off of the 4th place line where he engraved it before the games started figuring it was efficient. He also engraved "Boston" on the 1st and 2d place lines, so don't feel too bad for him. Not everything went to waste.

As we wait for the obligatory, why are you worrying about PWR, we have to win the ECAC to get a bid.:-D And that's probably correct. Even if we beat Union in 2 weeks, if we then lose the ECAC, we'll probably be back where we are now. And that's not good enough to get a bid.

Can we just stipulate that if I spent long enough with the calculators, I would be be able to find a scenario where Cornell gets an at-large bid, or are you going to make me go through the motions? :)

Glad you could muster the energy to emphasize the futility of paying attention to the PWR so far before the NCAA Tournament when it was me obsessing over the PWR. ;-)
Even if we have a chance at an at-large bid by beating Union, it does not eliminate the need for Cornell to make a very deep run into the ECACs to even have a chance at the NCAA Tournament. I've got tickets to AC, so I'm not complaining.

Really? We're tied for 15 right now (falling to 17th on tiebreakers). We only have to move up 2 places to get an at large bid, past teams we're already tied with, since in my what-if scenario only the AHA auto-bid will come from outside the top 16. If our only loss is in the ECAC championship to a non-TUC (easy enough) while I make all the teams around us lose all their remaining games, it seems pretty obvious to me that we'd end up in the top 15.

Look, don't get too serious about this. I said I doubt it, in a play on your words. This was a joke, following Age's long running comments. I still doubt it, mainly because every time you have someone lose, someone else wins, and that gums up everything. I didn't say it was impossible, just that I doubt it. I say that somewhat in jest, and more based upon my feeling that there is not a reasonable path for us to get a bid by losing. If it happens, I'll be ecstatic, but I'm not counting on it.
Oh god, see, now you got me being serious.::scared:: I've got to stop before I really end up trying to defend a point that I made in jest and that I don't care about. I'm ::bolt::

That was his senior thesis. Got an A of course.
Friday's ECAC semifinal will mark Harvard and Cornell's 11th ECAC Tournament encounter in the 17 years of the Schafer Era, Harvard won three of them (2002, 2006, & 2008). Cornell prevailed in the other seven (1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, & 2010).

Union seems to forget that it does. Their fans refer to programs like RPI and SLU as "bottom feeders" because two years in a row Union has won the Jell-O Mold. Their bloggers have them already hoisting the Whitelaw "trophy" (as they call it) in Boardwalk Hall. They seem to forget that they have had a program since 1975 that took 35 years to accomplish anything of note.

I remember that. It was my freshman year.
It was back in the day when the fish were thrown between the 2nd and 3rd periods. Also, they let people in for free after the second period. When they opened the side doors, two guys rushed down the aisle between D & E and threw that thing onto the ice. Spectacular.

Okay. bnr24 and I will join in with it. I will print off several copies of it to pass around for the Harvard game. I have a large printing quota at my law school and I have not begun to use any of it, so I can think of no better use. If it is as easy as people say to move around in Boardwalk Hall, it should be easy to pass them out to have a decent density of fish pictures before the game. Plus, printing off fish pictures is easier than getting a sizable volume of
The Cornell Daily Sun to AC.
In the lower left of the photo you can see the referee assessing Cornell a two-minute 'delay of game' penalty...on which we scored a short-handed goal. Justice.

I will be bringing newspapers. I like the fish idea, could it be for when they come on the ice, just like when they are thrown? If that happens, it would be great in Boston as well, and I think it would make a impact there. I'm not sure there will be enough Harvard fans in AC to annoy them. However, I still like newspaper for the intros. We can have both, and could coordinate distribution.

Half sarcasm. However, it is more authentic using

I agree with the timing. I am going to print off a large amount of pictures of fish to antagonize Sucks and their fan. I will distribute fish pictures if I can get a newspaper so that we can all do this as if it were Lynah. I am not sure the layout or areas of Boardwalk Hall for easy distribution among Cornell fans. Any ideas for that?

Harvard people wrote their own website a couple years ago. Most of them use that. There was a movie about it last year. Of the Harvard website creators, ex-Harvard president Lawrence Summers said, "... one of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at 3 o clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they are looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole. This was the latter case."

The Cornell-Sucks rivalry is mentioned (http://madtownbadgers.com/articles/bucket-list/college-sports-bucket-list-no-59.html) on Midtown Badgers's college sports bucket list.
Other than the description of the rivalry, it is interesting how the author recounts college hockey history entirely inaccurately.
Quote from: Andrew CoppensWisconsin fans should be well versed by just how good Cornell can be as they stopped the Badgers hopes of winning yet another national title in 2010 in the NCAA Frozen Four.
I am not sure how he thinks that Cornell made it to the Frozen Four with losing to UNH in the 2010 NCAA East Regional Semifinal. Wisconsin made it to the national title game that year and lost 8-0 to BC. The positive of this error is the implication that Wisconsin has respect for the hockey tradition at Cornell, unlike some programs in the WCHA.

Students said they were tripped up by a course whose tests were confusing, whose grading was inconsistent, and for which the professor and teaching assistants gave contradictory signals about what was expected. They face the possibility of a one-year suspension from Harvard or revocation of their diplomas if they have already graduated, and some said that they will sue the university if any serious punishment is meted out.
Harvard education that teaches practical lessons for life. You can change your destiny if you have counsel.

Tickets are up, get to work.
As an aside: Sec 14 is probably for Ithaca. Our bench is 16-17, and I just got 18 row H.
Section 14 may be the Harvard band.
Got 2 seats in 18, F

When I go to their website, I see exactly one seat left, all the way in the back of Section 9, and searching for any pair of seats together at all comes up empty. Am I the only one seeing that? I wouldn't be absolutely bowled over shocked to death if it sold out in one day, but it would sure surprise me a little.

I was seeing something similar at ~5:00 pm. So, I think it is possible.

There were never a great number of seats. The rest of my row were gone in a few minutes. Most of the rest were in the end, and even those weren't a large block, rather a few here and there. You can always try CU or the CC of Boston. And others might open up once they see who renews their season tickets.
I got mine at about 9:30 this morning and already there were a number of sections showing sold out and the rest with limited availability. I grabbed 6 in Section 1, 3 on one side of the section, 3 on the other.

Same experience at about the same time this morning. Must be holding some tickets back, or some other new ploy to avoid the usual embarrassingly-large Cornell crowd.
At 11:04am there were only a smattering of singles left.
I noticed the same thing shortly after 9am. Only a few single seats in the 'center ice' section on the cornell side, with some seats on the sides. Got tix in section 22. Last year there were a number of seats center ice, however, I believe CCOB had not set aside their normal block when tix went on sale last year. Seats must have been held this year, either by Harvard, CCOB or both.
I called the ticket office this morning with a question and got through without much difficulty, so it's not like the phone lines were busy (I know, who buys tickets these days by talking to someone on the phone ..)

The last couple of years (after they stopped playing tricks like 'we're not selling to CU fans' or 'you have to buy our 4-pack to get that game') they have been releasing tickets in phases. For example, the day tickets went on sale, they would have no tickets available for any search criteria, but several weeks later, there were tickets magically appearing. Also, there were no SRO tickets being sold today, which is what I usually try to get because they are cheaper and I usually stand in the back anyway.
I bought mine around 11:15 am, and I saw a smattering of singles in the corners, with about 4-5 sets of doubles still available.
All this said, that's a pretty sophisticated online ticket selection site, for a program like Harvard.

You go to better parties than I.
You still might be able to get a ticket if you pay for entry into CCoB's exclusive cool people pre-game party at John Harvard's!
The new RedCast improvement thread made me notice that Red Cast "really sucks," but Harvard only "sucks." That can't be right. Surely that's backwards. Red Cast may be bad, but is it really worse than Harvard?
It's just perspective - we have actual expectations for Red Cast.

And damn quick to get the tickets into the mail. Mine arrived Friday afternoon. Now the challenge is to put them someplace that I'll remember 5 months from now.

Co-captain and team assist leader Brandon Curry is also being investigated and will likely withdraw from Harvard too. It's in the link above.
That means Harvard will likely be without their top scorer and assist leader. So much for that second trip to the NCAA tournament. I guess they'll have to wait another 66 years

I wasn't so much complaining about the fact that this particular incident was drawing attention to Harvard as about that they seemed to (though this is my subjective recollection and maybe I'm wrong) get so much more hype last year than the far-superior (IMO) Wittman-Dale-Foote Cornell teams of a few years back.

I hate to break tradition but perhaps during the introductions we could put down our papers and just chant CHEATER...CHEATER slow and steady. I suspect that if this was taken up at every Ivy venue the punishment would be far worse, and more effective, that any doled out by the SUCKS admin.

1) I encourage and support all cheers dinging Harvard as cheaters.
2) This cheating scandal feels like heaps of bullshit. There is no way 125 kids got together and decided to cheat in direct contradiction to explicit instructions. Not because 125 kids wouldn't cheat in small ways but because a "conspiracy" that large is unlikely to go undetected. The more likely explanation is that the rules regarding cooperation and discussion were ambiguous at best or indicated that such collaboration was permitted at worst. The administration is letting the kids take the fall for something that was probably the professor's fault.

Best quote:
QuoteIn years past, the course, Introduction to Congress, had a reputation as one of the easiest at Harvard College. Some of the 279 students who took it in the spring semester said that the teacher, Matthew B. Platt, an assistant professor of government, told them at the outset that he gave high grades and that neither attending his lectures nor the discussion sessions with graduate teaching fellows was mandatory.
"He said, 'I gave out 120 A's last year, and I'll give out 120 more,' " one accused student said.
But evaluations posted online by students after finals — before the cheating charges were made — in Harvard's Q Guide were filled with seething assessments, and made clear that the class was no longer easy.
You forgot to add, "3) Harvard sucks."

I think that the author grossly misunderstands Harvard College grading. A course in which
only 43% of students get As is in fact hard by Harvard standards. So, there was likely no change in grading policy.

I liked the following "An accused sophomore said that in working on exams, "everybody went to the T.F.'s and begged for help. Some of the T.F.'s really laid it out for you, as explicit as you need, so of course the answers were the same." "
Every time I took a prelim or final I would do the same thing. I would raise my hand and ask the proctor "What is the answer to number 27 oh and by the way, could you solve this problem for me?"
Frankly, I am surprised that Harvard even has exams since the grade is know before the class starts.
Oh, I almost forgot Harvard Sucks

In the future Harvard should just distribute pre-answered exams and have the students fill their names in.

That's my point, though. If the TF practice was to discuss the contents of an exam with the students, that's on the school for having a poorly explained (or enforced) policy regarding exams.

I'm inclined to agree with ugarte. I find it very hard to believe that 125 students all worked together on the exam (or in a series of interconnected groups). If it was 5 or 10 students, I would say they cheated, but 125 is just too high a number for me to accept that the professor or TF was not in any way responsible.

I can understand what you're saying and it makes a lot f sense. On the other hand, Harvard has made a big enough deal out of this that they have attracted national, negative attention. I can easily imagine the prof making a stink and being unwilling to admit he might have made mistakes in instructions/whatever, but would the administration carry it this far along if there weren't some substance to the story?
Then again, the administration at Harvard sucks tyoo.

The admin being a subset of Harvard would of course suck. The quesiton I have is if Harvard=Sucks, would it be appropriate for a Red
Sox fan to say "Yankees harvard!"? If so would it then be appropriate to say "Harvard harvards."?
The more I read about the nature of the cheating the less I stand by my feeling that the students (as a group) are being railroaded. If people were cut-and-pasting material that was being shared, that's obviously bullshit. That isn't collaboration and consultation; it's closer to plagiarism.

Are you suggesting that the suck at cheating too?

Remember that 125 out of the 250 students have been accused. So while it is becoming clear that a subset of the accused committed serious, copy-paste-style infractions, it is very likely that others are being railroaded. If you have about 9 hours to spare, read the last 4-5 posts on Prof. Harry Lewis's blog http://harry-lewis.blogspot.com/. The relevant excerpt:
QuoteThe course seems to have sent some mixed signals about the exam, with a TF holding office hours during the exam, in which students could hear each other's questions about their proposed answers, and the TF's responses.
Of course, the exam instructions were clear: No collaboration. But 60mph speed limit signs also could not be clearer. If you go 63 for an hour and people are passing you, and then you pass a speed trap and see that somebody who raced passed you at 75 has been pulled over, you get used to the idea that maybe you, everyone else, and the police all agree that 60mph signs don't literally mean what they say. It sounds to me like some students were going 75--they were cutting and pasting--and some of the other students who have been pulled in were going 63. Hopefully the Ad Board will respond in proportion, though I think those 63mph students have some justification for rolling their eyes about their culpability. Those who keep insisting that the students should be punished because the exam instructions were clear will, I trust, not complain if they are ticketed for driving 63, like everyone else, in a 60mph zone.

Clearly Prof. Lewis has never driven in Cayuga Heights.
I believe that his argument boils down to "Oh I guess it is ok to cheat a little but not a lot and it is really bad form to get caught"
I think this is a compelling case for doing away with exams at Harvard. They clearly have no impact on grades. For that matter why go through the whole expensive and cumbersom process of holding classes that is so 20th century.
Quote from: TowerroadI believe that his argument boils down to "Oh I guess it is ok to cheat a little but not a lot and it is really bad form to get caught"
No, I believe his argument is closer to "Those who only slightly broke the rules and/or didn't realize they were breaking them shouldn't be expelled alongside the worst offenders, they should be given something more like a slap on the wrist."

That's unfair. His argument boils down to "if the TA answers a question you asked, maybe you shouldn't be punished for listening".

Rather than a slap on the wrist I think it would be appropriate for those found to be less deceitful to have to wear "The Scarlet Letter".

It has not been confirmed that Harvard could fill 16 fan buses for the trip to Harvard.
I just checked the sucks ticketing page and there are limited seats available... very limited... mostly pairs but I was able to grab 4 together :)
THANK YOU!

I was assuming that there were 4 servants fanning 4 Harvard supporters who where also attended by 4 other servants peeling the grapes and taking the tests. However, the entire exercise fails based on the assumption that Harvard actually has 4 supporters. Clearly that is absurd.

QuoteDuring its 19-day stretch between games, a handful of players were removed from Harvard's official roster, which was smaller Friday night than it had been at the season's start.
"Some guys had to take a year absent," Girard said. "I won't say any names, but like any other team, we might have some problems with the academic scandal. Some of them just want to take leaves to get more playing time and come back later because they were younger guys. Some other guys were just injured. But overall, they're going to come back; they're still part of our family and still part of our team."
Edit to add CHN's story, which fills in the blanks, since The Crimson's journalism was so thorough: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2012/12/10_four_players_removed_from.php
To be clear, by "any other team", Girard really means "any other team at Harvard." Like their basketball team, football team, etc.

Good luck to NU, but I'm not putting any money on them. But then again, I don't bet on anything. Listening to parts, seeing the highlights, and looking at the stats, it certainly looks like BU played bad defense and NU was fortunate to win. Did anyone watch it?

For the sake of accuracy: final score was 3-2 after a late BU goal; and Northeastern's colors are red and black...no brown...and home sweaters are white.

QuoteHe can't help but look at first-place Quinnipiac, a team in the top spot by virtue of what Cornell has done well for so many years.
"Everyone has bought into their systems," Schafer said of the Bobcats. "They get good goaltending night in and night out, they're blocking shots and they're disciplined night in and night out. That's what winning teams do."
Is the implication that everyone has not bought into Schafer's system this year?
Vanessa has acquired Beer Darts from Josh '99, since he's being lame and not coming. We will be tailgating either behind the stadium or in the B School parking lot before the game. We will also be hitting up Harpoon Brewery if anyone would like to join somewhere around 12:30-1.
Just to keep things in perspective.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after over 30 years of attending Cornell vs. Harvard hockey games, this past Saturday was the first time I attended one at Harvard. But being my first time at Bright, I couldn't help but notice and immediately be pissed off by their banner titled "ECAC Championships" (or perhaps it reads "ECAC Champions" ) which includes all the years they came in first in the regular season. They have another banner titled "ECAC Tournament Championships" or something like that that correctly shows the years they really won championships.
Has this been discussed here before? Have others been as annoyed by this as I was? Does the ECAC really allow a team that comes in first in the regular season to call themselves "ECAC Champions" if they don't also win the tournament? I'm sure I'm tilting at windmills, but I'd like to see Harvard forced to take that banner down, or at least correct the title to add "Regular Season."

Fixed. And Regular Season Championships should be ECAC Championships. Sample size and all that.

I think there is a general consensus that grade inflation and 80% of the class graduating with honors and all is a bit overdone. The fact that the athletes were caught cheating this year may be a harbinger of fair grading on the horizon. I'm sure the banners will also be corrected as the university makes its penance.
Well on second thought...

Says the soccer fan. :-P
If regular season finish equals champion then the Presidents' Trophy should be more valuable than the Stanley Cup.
In my eyes, tournament winner is ECAC Champion. Winner of the 22 game round robin is top seed in the ECAC tournament. The '02 Cornell team was not ECAC champion for example.
Quote from: Chris '03If regular season finish equals champion then the Presidents' Trophy should be more valuable than the Stanley Cup.
We've been socialized to think the reverse, but a larger sample size (particularly with a balanced schedule) is more likely to leave the best team at the top of the table. Playoffs may be more exciting, but they increase the importance of random variations -- bounces of the puck.

I refuse to ::deadhorse::
The only reason the RS winner in US sports isn't called a "champion" is to hype the post-season.
Finishing first is definitely some sort of "championship," and I don't mind Harvard having its banners. What I mind is those banners are in pastel shades reminiscent of 1970's toothpaste which have no relationship to the team colors. Their NCAA Title banner used to look like a tampon ad. Somebody in the AD's marketing office must have a deep-seeded (get it?) hate for bright (get that one too?) colors.

Speaking of colors, have you looked at the UMD message board (http://www.umdpenaltybox.com/MessBoard/index.php) recently? ::crazy::
Here's how the ECAC describes the "Cups":
QuoteOn March 16, 2001, at the 40th league championship in Lake Placid, N.Y., ECAC Hockey paid tribute to retiring Harvard Director of Athletics William J. "Bill" Cleary Jr. by re-naming its regular-season trophy the William J. Cleary Cup.
On March 9, 1989, the league paid tribute to retiring Commissioner Robert M. "Scotty" Whitelaw by announcing that the Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship trophy would be named the Whitelaw Cup.
In doing a quick search of the ECAC site, I couldn't find reference to regular season champion, it's probably there somewhere, but when you search "champion" the first batch of results all refer to tournament champions. There probably is some justification for it somewhere, but any time someone asks "Who was the (year) champion?", I'm sure the response would be the tourney winner.
But, I say let them have their little celebrations, I'm much happier to see responses such as was posted on the Harvrd game thread by Ben:
QuoteText from a Sucks student friend (her first hockey game): "Your school took over our arena."
That's enough to forget about banners.
Having observed every ECAC season since its founding, I would say there was no "regular season champion" until the time in the 90s when the NCAA decided to award an automatic bid to the team that finished first in the regular season, and the ECAC used that as a reason to declare there was now going to be a "regular season champion." Prior to that, no one even gave a thought to there being a "regular season champion," so, to engage in revisionist history and claim one for a season preceding that is disingenuous at best. Yes, teams sought to win games to gain a higher seed for the tournament that determined the champion, but no one on the ice, behind the bench, in the press, or among the teams' fans, felt there was a "championship" involved.
I think it's important to keep in mind that Ben's "best team" and a league's or sport's or country's "champion" may indeed be, and often are, two different teams. Does anyone remember which major league baseball team had the best regular season record in 2010? But the Giants, who blew everyone away in the playoffs after making said playoffs only with a win on the seaon's last day, are and always will be the 2010 World Series champions. How about Ken Dryden's Canadiens in 1971? Are the 1971 Boston Bruins proud and content to say they were the "best team" in 1971 because they blew everyone else away in the regular season? Ask Bobby Orr or Phil Esposito and see what they have to say.
keep in mind that there was no set ECAC schedule until the 80's and it wasn't balanced until the HE teams left. Crowning a champion based on RS games would have been difficult or unfair when teams played radically different schedules. Having a tournament addressed this problem.
Champion has been intended to be the same as best in some sports at certain points in time. For example: baseball pre-expansion, where the pennant winner was simply the best team in the league. The WS was to pick a best team of the two league champions. Hockey has never really had this model though. The NHL has pretty much always used a large post-season tournament format.

This is America, and in America we don't want to hear about your "sample size" and your "math"! The playoff champion is the champion!
Which is to say, you're right that a double round robin, like the ECAC regular season or all the big European soccer leagues, is a better way of determining the best team, but it seems pretty universally accepted in North American sports that the winner of the playoffs is the "champion. (Sorry Clarkson.) I find it interesting that the WCHA seems to feel more strongly about the regular season champion being the "champion" than any other North American sports league that I'm aware of (as indicated by the ridiculously oversized MacNaughton Cup), when the degree of unbalance in their schedule (a team plays each other team either twice or four times in a season, as opposed to in Hockey East where at least it's either twice or three times) makes it less likely to be the case than in a league with a balanced schedule.
Quote from: Josh '99This is America, and in America we don't want to hear about your "sample size" and your "math"! The playoff champion is the champion!
Granted America has a herpa-derp problem, we used to be grown up enough to recognize NL and AL pennant winners.

History probably plays a role there. The WCHA has been around since 1960, and it evolved from some other conglomeration of Western teams (WIHL, maybe?) that came together around 1950 or so. The NCAA tournament took only four teams, generally two "East" and two "West", until 1981, and for a large number of those years, the WCHA post-season produced two finalists with no championship game. Why? Because those two finalists were (I want to say "always" but I better stick with "almost always" ) immediately given the two West spots in the NCAAs. Since there was no post-season champ in the WCHA, they made a bigger fuss over the regular-season champ. I think in those days the WCHA did play a more balanced schedule than they do now.
Quote from: TrotskyGranted America has a herpa-derp problem, we used to be grown up enough to recognize NL and AL pennant winners.
Yes, well (shake your cane with me here), the pennant winners used to be the two teams with the best record in the NL and AL. Nowadays, you gotta slog through I've-lost-count-of-how-many playoff rounds to figure out who they are. What do we have, "division winners" now? Oooh, aaah.

By the time I showed up, some contestants were standing off to the side of the board during the game. That was the first clue to the overall skill level involved.

It is funny to hear the Penn/Princeton fans whine about this after they did that for the whole duration of the league
I was channel surfing last night so I didn't watch the Harvard - New Mexico game in its entirety. However, I heard waaaay too many times about how Harvard "relaxed" its admission standards to get better basketball players. Made me want to throw-up. I hope Arizona beats them by 60.

Meh, I'm OK with them playing well. It helps the conference overall, and thus us. Having the Ivy get blown out makes prospects doubt the quality of play in the league.
Rising tide and all that.
That's fair; Harvard playing well probably helps the conference.
I hope Arizona beats them by 50.

If Harvard is indeed skewing its AI numbers to benefit men's basketball, it will be interesting to see which other teams there take the hit. You're going to have to have a sparkling academic record to be on the sailing team.

I thought each team (or at least each sport, M + W) had to conform to the AI. So, for instance, you couldn't field a wrestling team of Joe Rockheads and balance it with giving everybody on the chess team an épée.

Worked for Brown hockey in the early 90's. 1-21-0 in 1989, 13-7-2 by 1993.
Of course, once you admit them, you have to somehow keep them eligible.

I have no source to quote but I was under the belief that only football was analyzed separately and that the rest of the athletes were looked at as one group so that yes, you could offset one team with other athletes.

OK, this is amazing. The best part is that this will obviously get picked up by more prestigious publications because everyone loves making fun of Harvard.

Yeah Harvard tends to bring in high AI kids to balance out their real recruits. Then they cut them freshman year, they have had 21 players get cut/leave the men's basketball program since 2008. The high AI kids get into Harvard when otherwise they would not have and the basketball team gets their recruits, everybody wins. I dont mind it, Cornell and the rest of the league should do the same.

I'm trying to parse this:
Harvard brings in high AI kids (who would not meet Harvard's usual standards to sit at the end of the bench / get cut) along with low AI kids (who are farther from Harvard's standards but can actually play) as a way of gaming the system ...

That was my reaction. It's as if the perspective is that the AI is some niggling regulation that we should be trying to get around.
That's wrong. For one thing, the AI itself is a requirement the Ivies levy upon themselves; we can stop any time we want to.
But for the more important thing, the academic integrity the AI represents is waaaaaaaaaaaaay, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than college athletics. I'd rather disband our athletic teams than wind up like an SEC school, or for that matter wind up like the functional equivalent of an SEC school with an extremely sophisticated PR department like Stanford or Duke.

Yes I approve, has Stanford really hurt the academic strength of the overall school by letting in ~100 kids out of 7000 undergrad students that would not get in otherwise? Bill Gates kid could probably not know how to read/write and Cornell would let them in for all the money Gates has donated. Would all the sons/daughters of big donors really get in if their parents had not donated a bunch of money?
I hate Harvard as much as the next Cornell fan but we shouldnt lower their accomplishment because they played some AI games since those low AI kids are still probably smarter and better students than the rest of the schools in the tournament

At least admitting Gates' kid is net-profitable. I'd be stunned if the athletic department as a whole is in the black.
Root for professional sports. The players are better at sports and you don't have to feel conflicted about the money at all. If you are going to root for college sports you should care about what the school you are rooting for stands for more than winning.

Oh please. Yes, grad students do not receive much in the way of monetary compensation. But that's because of the educational/accreditation benefits, which can be quite valuable. My degree may not have put me way ahead in dollars earned but it's gotten me a hell of a lot of professional freedom, which has definitely been worth it.
This guy actually got royalties for his work, which makes it very far from slave labor If I patented something at my current job I'd get a nice certificate and a tiny cash gift, not a percentage of royalties. Did he get cheated out of a fair share of the royalties? Or coerced to take an unfair share? There's no way to know from the information available in the article.
Harvard still sucks, of course.

Lest anyone forgot, today is the day the tickets go on sale. Looks like they're going fast, so I guess most people are on top of this. I grabbed some in section 20, and checking back a few minutes later, there's a lot less availability.
Of course, if history repeats itself, after today's rush there will probably be some mysterious release of more tickets down the road, but you never know.
LGR!!!
I just bought some in a corner section. I went on the site a few minutes after nine and not many were available. Some were disappearing as I tried to buy them.

Yes, how true!
I received my 14 tickets in the mail yesterday. (OK, I received 8 and my wife received 6.) Of course, I live a quarter mile from the Yahd. YMMV, but I assume that anyone who bought them online should be receiving them soon.
Mine came as well. Now the trick is not to misplace them in the next 4 months.

QuoteThe Harvard basketball team's score for 2011-2012 alone was 925, which might put its NCAA eligibility at risk, according to the athletic association. Currently, teams must keep their four-year average above 900 or their average for the most recent two years above 930 to remain eligible, according to the athletic association. However, the eligibility limit for four-year scores will increase to 930 next year.
Columbia University's team had the Ivy League's second-lowest four-year rate for basketball at 981, and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, led with a perfect four-year average of 1,000.

I am a bit confused. Are there 2 rinks at Sucks? I know of only one, perhaps that is why they have no fans, they are going to the wrong arena.
Equally curious among all the upgrades there is no mention of expanded seating. I guess when you only sell out one game a year that is not a priority.

Yeah, it sounds like the addition is going to fill in that alleyway between the rink and the indoor track building. My guess is that locker rooms, offices, & facilities will be downstairs with some sort of concourse with space for food vendors, restrooms, and what I'm sure will be a private club hospitality room for all 6 of their jerk fans.

I wonder if they'll switch home and away sides? It would seem like the logical thing to do.

I agree, along with a broad causeway from the club rooms to the Sucks viewing area. No need for seats, both fans will be carried in Sedan Chairs by their servants.

Harvard grades still inflated. (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2013/12/3/grade-inflation-mode-a/)
Quote from: Joel Trachtenberg, ex-BU dean, cnn.com writerIn the mid-1970s, when I was a dean at Boston University, there were rumors that a certain professor was indiscriminately awarding a final grade of A to all his students. That was unusual back then when most professors graded on the bell curve and only a handful of the best students received an A. Some actually failed and most received grades of B or C.
But in the case of this particular professor everybody got an A. As a test, I surreptitiously enrolled a fictitious student into the roster of his next class. This "nobody" never came to class, never wrote a term paper and never took an exam. At the end of the semester the mysterious student received an A.
That led to a discussion with the professor. In a tone of righteous indignation he claimed I had overstepped my bounds to play such a trick on him. With righteous indignation I claimed that he had underperformed as a professor by acting in a reckless manner, grading his students with careless abandonment. Steam came out of both our ears. I believed his actions were a mark of failure in academic responsibility.
This sounds like the beginning of the reign of John Silber as president, or the precursor.

In the name of evidence based sillyness, I offer this in support of our friends at RPI and Princeton. And for those who poke around this site, I remember seeing a less than flattering graph of grading trending upward at our dear old Cornell.

OK, FWIW, during my Co-op summer, I took a public speaking course. I found out that . Toward the end of the course we also found out the professor was leaving Cornell, and he had decided to give all of the full-time Cornell students A's, and the high-school summer students B's.
OTOH, one of my ChemE professors graded his summer session course on a conventional curve which usually wasn't done. The co-op program was limited to the top half of the Engineering class. Because of that, the Engineering professors usually curved to a higher average grade to compensate for the fact that the lower half of the class wasn't there to balance the mean. It was the only B-minus I ever got in ChemE.
So I guess it averaged out.

In high school, a physics teacher would curve his tests based on how smart he thought you were. I once got a 60 that turned into an 85, while the girl next to me got a 65 that turned into an 80.
Best part is that she was smarter than me.

Have I gone mad or aren't exams at Harvard in January? IIRC their students were always bitching (reasonably) that being out a couple weeks prior to the end of the terms was senseless and led to cramming, additional beatings of servants, bloviations about the Burden of Privilege over Christmas dinner, etc.

A "Zero Value Add" process is a decision point where the decision maker always makes the same decision. If the decision is always the same then there is no value to the decision:
If the Grade is always an A then it follows logically:
1. There is no reason for tests, homework, or finals as they have confer no value in the grading process
2. If there is no reason for tests, homework or finals then there is really no reason to attend class.
3. If there is no reason for class then there is really no reason for Harvard to exist.
4. If there is no reason for Harvard to exist. The it and the the great void are indistinguishable.
5. Since it is clear that the Great Void represents the absence of any matter then by the transitive property, Harvard represents the absence of any matter.
6. The Absence of any matter may be considered a perfect vacuum. And as we all know, a perfect vacuum will suck in anything around it.
7. Therefore be it know that by indisputable logic, it can be shown that HARVARD SUCKS! (of course this was obvious to all of us already)
QED
There's clearly no reason for Harvard to exist. There IS a reason for the Harvard admissions office to exist, however - someone still has to decide who is worthy of a Harvard diploma and goodness knows it isn't the professors. Tear down the rest and just let them send out diplomas in lieu of admissions letters.

I was surprised at the original ($31) price. I assumed the CU-BU game ($72 for section 200, I think) was because the cost of the venue was so high, but perhaps not...
Actually, if you check the Garden Box office site, there are only sparse single seats available except in high end zone sections. Unless these are all scalpers and VIP freebies, it's going to be a lot bigger crowd than I ever anticipated.

Via ECAC NHL.com article on "Harvard's Donato hopes for return to NCAA tourney". (http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=700379)
QuoteNow in his 10th season as the coach at Harvard, the 1992 Olympian has seen some highs and lows in molding the Crimson into a hardworking, competitive squad.
In his first two seasons, Donato led Harvard to its first back-to-back 20-win seasons in more than a decade. He remains the only Harvard coach to take the Crimson to the NCAA tournament in his first two seasons.
Donato is hoping to turn things around and get his team back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006.

I think I glossed over that when I read Jim's post. They haven't been to the tournament since 2006? Wow. Mazz got them into the tournament three times in five seasons in charge, largely with his own recruits after missing out on the tournament in his first two years after taking over for Tomassoni. Donato got them into the tournament his first two years, largely with inherited players, and hasn't in the seven seasons since. It's amazing the legnth of a leash being an alum who had a middling NHL career will get you.

Ted Donato's son Ryan has committed to Harvard, per Heisenberg (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoPLTHefMmmTdHkwbDlIemR5c2dGSXZveWF3OWNJZVE#gid=1). There had been speculation on the Harvard USCHO thread that he might be headed to BC instead. He is, supposedly, a stud, but we all know how Harvard prospects, particularly legacies, display grade inflation.
If nothing else it could get tricky if Teddy gets fired. The three or four alums who take time from defrauding their clients to care have been grunting for that bald pate on a pike.

Camera in locker room showed Ted Donato's completely uninspiring speech to team, trailing 2-0. They then went out and immediately gave up another goal, then another. Now it's 4-0. Announcers at one time pointed out that there were 30+ minutes of penalty time with only 23 minutes of time elapsed in the game. Lotta laughs.

QuoteAt the other end, the Northeastern penalty killers stopped all seven Harvard power plays, limiting the Crimson to only two total man-advantage shots.
Most notably, the Huskies killed a first-period, five-minute major in a manner so thorough that it had to take much of the wind out of Harvard's sails. The Crimson managed only a single shot during the five minutes and spent much of the time outside of the offensive zone.

Did they shake hands? ::popcorn::
Last night was the second straight game in which Kevin Guiltinan received a major penalty. He was called for kneeing in the waning minutes of the Beanpot semifinal blowout. Although he didn't take a penalty against Cornell, he lost his composure once.
I suspect he has an anger-management problem.

Looking at the archive on ILDN, I played back his big hit (that precipitated all the penalties) in slo-mo and it looked to me like a legitimate but very hard hit with the impact being Guiltanen's shoulder to the Dartmouth players upper chest. Guiltanen's penalty was for being too tall.
Harvard consoles themselves again.
We're two-plus hours into game day, and this was buried on the second page of threads. Sorry, but somebody had to bump this to where it belongs today.
Cant help but think the schedular for the USPHL is a Sucks grad. We had every intention of attending the game tonight, but now that my son is playing in a USPHL playoff game at Merrimack we cant make it. I want to believe that this is totally random.......however. Harvard Sucks.
Which one of you did it?
Quote from: gatefanWhich one of you did it?
Time travel? I'm guessing Whelan.
According to the Harvard thread on USCHO, their prospect Trevor Fidler just decommitted. He is a '95 forward and teammate of Beau Starrett on the USPHL South Shore Kings.

More trouble for Teddie: Arguably Harvard's top two recruits for next year, Brandon Fortunato and Adam Plan, apparently have decommitted. According to posters on USCHO, for Fortunato at least it may have been a problem getting through admissions.

Yikes. I guess this tests the expression "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy."
BTW, thus far I have only seen that as a statement by one USCHO poster, with a couple guesses (with no confirmation) by others. The players are still listed on Heisenberg (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoPLTHefMmmTdHkwbDlIemR5c2dGSXZveWF3OWNJZVE#gid=1) as Harvard recruits.
Also, WTF is up with Heisenberg's host server? Half the time it comes up as if it's being operated out of the Tzahal underground bunker.

I don't have the links handy, but the decommitments were from some seemingly authoritative sources on Twitter as well.

Harvard continues to suck
http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/2/2/the-skinny-on-harvards-rare-book/
QuoteGiven to Houghton in June 1954 by the wife of John B. Stetson, the small book—approximately three by six inches—sports gold trim. Its binding features a greenish-gold hue as well as visible pores.
So, basically, a Harvard underclassman.

The third shoe has dropped. Trevor Fidler either decommitted or didn't get in, depending on whom you listen to, but he will not be taking his talents to Alston.

Harvard USCHO thread now reporting that another top Harvard prospect, Jeremy Bracco, has decommitted. If the other reports are correct that means four of their best have now split. I suppose there is a hypothetical number where we start feeling bad for them.

There are some rivals/hated teams where, if they're not any good, it feels like something's lost. I hate Duke basketball about as much as any red-blooded American, but watching them flounder over the past few years has stolen just a bit of the fun of watching them lose (I know, they won it all like five years ago, what am I even talking about).
But Harvard? No. If they never scored another goal again, I'd never get sick of watching them get shut out.

Ah, would that be J. Whittington Precisely III, scion of whatever families it would be appropriate to say "scion" about?
J Whittington was in fact the last student at Harvard to receive a B. Born in 1903 and after barely leaving the Andover Academy he matriculated in 1924 at the age of 21. It is rumored that during his tenure there is no reported sighting of his ever entering an academic building. The Brothels and Bars of Cambridge were another story. Barely sober a day while a student he made his big academic mistake by actually turning in a paper. It was not JW's semi literate style that caused trouble but rather his contention that "Publik educatshun is gud." That earned him the wrath of his tutors.
News of this stunning achievement spread like wildfire. While he was shunned in some circles others pointed to his performance as solid evidence that meritocracy was the rule of the day.
Whitington's Father (Sucks,'01')was furious and only left half of his estate to Sucks. Whittington graduated (Magna Cum Laude) in 1929 and immediately headed for Wall St. The rest is history.

You know who has too much time on his hands? J. Whittington Precisely VI. He was kicked out of Harvard during the great Harvard Academic Cheating Scandal Of 2012. He's had some real trouble with the admittance criteria to "hold a full-time, paid, non-academic job in a non-family situation, for at least six consecutive months before becoming eligible for readmittance."

Not exactly a challenge to keep the job. After all it was at Whittington's Haggis and Chips, a lesser known Scottish Chain.
Love their chips. Their haggis doesn't really do it for me. I've had better. But the Harvard Restaurant Review gives it an A.

I, for one, would not mind tifos in hockey.
Lynah East Season Tickets are now on sale. After both of them are sold anyone want to guess when the single game ticket will be available?
the website lists single game tickets as going on sale on Sept 2nd. Says it here: https://tickets.gocrimson.com/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=0245181F-F350-44FD-AD69-92D6821851EB&sessionlanguage=
not sure what time exactly though...
reminder tickets go on sale tomorrow (not sure what time).
Looks like they're charging $30/ticket for the Cornell game vs $20 normally (and $25 for the Yale game)
Get buying, they are close to sold out, so they say.
Quote from: Jim HylaGet buying, they are close to sold out, so they say.
It was a struggle on the web site, but I finally managed to get tickets. A little spread out, but we're in.
LGR!
Picked up 2. The choose your own seats option sucked , didn't show any availability but when i did the best available, was able to get 2 no problem. Out of curiosity I selected 6 and it found them no issues. This was at around 9:40am est. Maybe too late now , but try best available if the choose your own seats doesn't work
Not sure why the Harvard site was so bad this year. And why did it keep bouncing to Football games? SRO only available now. SRO same price as ticketed seat.
SRO has been the same price as a regular seat for several years now. I used to pick up SRO for $8.
Harvard price-gouging:
Most games: $20
Yale game: $25
Cornell game: $30
I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop giving money to Harvard and use my streaming subscription for this. This one game is almost as much as a 4-month pass to ILDN.
Quote from: RichHI'm starting to wonder if I should just stop giving money to Harvard and use my streaming subscription for this. This one game is almost as much as a 4-month pass to ILDN.
The $30 for the ticket is dwarfed by the cost of transportation, alcohol, and bail. It shouldn't drive the decision.

I think in this case the revenue derived from Sucks fans paying $20 or $0.05 or $1000 per ticket would be the same.
They also spike the prices a bit for whenever BU and BC play there (both happened last year). But generally, they have attendance issues.

"To Harvard" are the important words. And how much is the Cornell Club of Boston charging for the honor of hanging out at the bar where we used to just do the same thing by ourselves?
Actually, you just reminded me that my car was towed after that game last year, so you're not that far off.

More to the point, the $20 regular game price helps them justify the $25 Yale and $30 Cornell game prices, and those two games probably net them more than the other regular season games combined. If they really priced down to demand - e.g., $5 - the $30 for our game would seem outrageous instead of merely greedy.

I also forgot that in an closet in the building Harvard has a special rapid stamping press. The rest of the year you can hear it clunking out its paricular rythm ehay ehay ehay ehay......
It is a very busy machine.

Exactly!
Then again, A. D. White wanted to create a university "free from religious influences," "free from political influences," and "free from commercial influences." Given the world we live in, I suppose one out of three is not too bad. (Think Tech Campus, in which a politician/business magnate diverted a huge chunk of alma mater to the direct service of commercial interests.)
Getting back to this thread's topic, did anyone notice this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/07/magazine/so-bill-gates-has-this-idea-for-a-history-class.html?smid=nytcore-ipad-share&smprod=nytcore-ipad) in last Sunday's Times?
Can you believe it? Cornell actually named a building after a guy who went to Harvard and didn't get all A's! In the words of the immortal Cal Worthington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_Worthington), "Money talks, nobody walks!"
(Bill's professor must have given him "the C+ at Harvard." I remember going to see a professor at Cornell and asking why my team got an A- on a statistics paper since the graded version had not a single negative comment. He explained that another team had done equally good work but had written a computer program to calculate the statistics, so he "gave them the A." I was pretty pissed because I had spent my co-op summer doing systems programming at IBM and certainly could have written a program -- i.e., prepare a deck for BMD, as the other team had -- and saved us lots of time, but we thought we were supposed to use the clunky, microwave-sized calculating machines to compute the statistics by hand so we'd get better intuitions about the calculations.)
Reminds me of something in freshman year Comp Sci 100.
We did everything through the semester in PL/C, then right at the end of the course were grudgingly taught Fortran 4 "since everyone in industry uses Fortran." But we were taught 4 as "proof" that PL/1 was a better programming language than Fortran. What they tried to hide was that Fortran 5 already existed and got rid of all of the clunkiness of 4 making 5 much more PL/1-like.
But I had a friend who was an Ag-Eng who learned Fortran 5 in the Ag-Eng Comp Sci course. He who showed me how to use 5 instead of 4. So I did my last program assignment in 5. It pissed off the profs, but I got off with a warning (and an A on the assignment).

Not sure where to put this tidbit. On Friday's (10/10) Olberman's show Worst Persons in the Sports World segment (http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/archive?id=9594536), Keith had AHL Adirondack's Flames President Brian Petrovek and the rest of the organization for their mascot selection. This year the Adirondack team is affiliated with the Calgary Flames and as such needed a new mascot...SCORCH and Keith thought the Adirondack's Flames didn't think the mascot selection (and its backstory) all the way through. Where this ties into Cornell Hockey is that Petrovek was the Harvard goalie back in the 70's and endured all sorts of taunts and humiliation at the hands of the Lynah faithful and well just maybe (as Keith speculates) it still has after effects.

Normally, I wouldn't have given it two thoughts. However, I first saw the picture two days after the Hartford FD lost an on-duty firefighter for the first time in over 40 years, and there was an obvious amount of hero-coverage locally. I'm not saying I was offended, but there was an involuntary eyebrow movement.

The USCHO Harvard thread is basically a wake right now. Apparently they've sustained some injuries to some of their best players. But losing once after an 8-game winning streak provokes a panic? Those bad years really left a mark.

Anyone know whether the players Sucks fans were worried about being injured are in fact playing or not today?
On the Harvard thread on USCHO (http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105780-Harvard-Crimson-2013-2014), their fans (the number who whom increased greatly this year, go figure) are already writing post-mortems and getting ready for next season. Tough crowd when you're in 3rd.

Too bad there's no rep.
Going by the box score and the Harvard thread in USCHO, in the 40 minutes from the 2:00 mark of the third period to the end of the game, Harvard was outshot 40-6. Michalek saved the first 39.
That is a tough loss.
Anyone find it odd that the beanpot goes into unlimited overtime, rather than 5 mins and a tie with a shootout to determine who goes forward like in Estero?

Tournaments can make their own rules, especially self-important ones like the Beanpot.

They certainly have not in the past. Games decided in overtime have been considered wins and losses.

It makes sense for the Beanpot, because there's a week between games. I'm all for some preservation of actual hockey rather than the dreaded That Which Will Not Be Named.

Agreed. It almost makes sense to have a shootout on day one of a back to back tournament like Estero (it doesn't but I can see the argument). t makes no sense to do so when teams have three days to recover before their next game.

I answered the questions. One of them was, "What is the date of the game against Cornell?" If "when's the game" qualifies as a

In fairness, Cornell's site is running an equally idiotic trivia contest. Apparently there's a "competition" to see which fan base can answer questions for which the answers appear on the page in front of them faster.

Which is why 500 actual cups left lying round the suite made more sense to me. It also felt more whiny preppy-boy to me if he was truly complaining about having to clean up 500 cups. Guess they don't have maids in their suites, like they do in daddy's mansion.

Can someone explain the second one to me? It went over my head. (Is "celeb asst" short for "celebrity assistants"? Fuck Twitter.)
Hunter Rawlings offered this advice to Beth Garrett: "Don't listen to the trustees." He's still annoyed that a trustee took him aside early in Rawliongs' tenure and said the med school really should be sold off.
Harvard did note that international students get full access to financial aid. Cornell aims its aid at USA students.

There's talk on the Harvard USCHO thread that the Cheating Three may play for other D-1 schools this (in particular, Minny is looking at Michalek). The restriction was Ivy, not NC$$, so it's legit.

Watch until the end, and you'll see why this video is appropriate for this thread.
I move this be the game thread.
We really need to beat those assholes tonight.
Interesting lineup changes: Buckles and Starrett out, Rauter and Anderson in (Anderson is playing forward)
Starrett made a terribly lazy series of plays and just generally looked bad.
Buckles getting swapped out surprises me -- I thought he was pushing forward all night and one of our better offensive presences.
According to the graphics, we've got a new goalie starting for us tonight - "Mith Gillam."
But hey, at least the video resolution is ridiculously crappy.
It's night and day watching these teams on offense.
1- That one goal was nice. Great camera angle for it.
2- Did anyone just see that Cornell promo video? ("I would found an institution...") That was... embarassing. I expect better production value from middle schools.
Quote from: scoop85Interesting lineup changes: Buckles and Starrett out, Rauter and Anderson in (Anderson is playing forward)
I've been wondering when Anderson would be back——he's turned into one of our better forwards, as far as I'm concerned.
PS What's been up with Hilbrich? He hasn't looked 100% all year.
PPS Gillam's rebound control was crappy last night, and it's crappy tonight.
Quote from: BMac1- That one goal was nice. Great camera angle for it.
My home internet is down this week, so I'm struggling through a spotty public wifi hotspot. I have to reconnect & refresh every few mins and the last time I did, this screenshot popped up, which made me happy:
With Harvard up 5-2 and Cornell getting a power play with 10 minutes to play, it was time to go with six attackers.
When we fore-checked and back-checked aggressively we looked competitive. When we let let them work the puck they consistently out-maneuvered us. They were able to carry the puck into the offensive zone, we played dump and chase. Yes, their power play is potent. But, if you let a Harvard player camp out in front of your goalie, so that he needs to keep sliding side to side to see what's going on in front of him, you are asking to get scored on.
This is so depressing. If this team had begun the season like they were predicted to it would be easier to take this devolution. To see them collapse like they have is really disheartening.
Let's hope the north country trip provides a reversal of fortune.
However, given their performance against the bottom-feeders to date, I'm not optimistic.
C'mon gang....Let's Go Red!!!
::bang::
for the weekend we gave up 3 PP, 2 empty net, 2 goals on rebounds, 2 goals on multi deflections
we scored zero on the PP and zero on about 6 min of extra attacker even though we controlled the puck almost the entire time both nights
we got zero ugly goals, on tons of chances
harvard is just quicker and more talented.. cant say dartmouth is but you need to play 60 min of energy hockey and you need to get the puck in the net when the plays are there.. too many whiffs and missing the net.
Quote from Coach Bennett following Union's loss to RPI in the Mayor's Cup yesterday:
Quote"If we're relying on freshmen, we're going to have serious problems these last 10 games."
It's the problem we have as well, just in a little different way. We have been relying on the freshmen to do a lot this year. As with most teams, in most sports, that doesn't usually lead to championships. They are still some of our best players, but unfortunately they still are freshmen.
The forwards are obvious, but as the season goes on, McCrea has become an excellent defenseman. However there are many times during a game where he has trouble with the breakout. Time, and seeing the situations over and over again, will allow a good player to develop. Unfortunately 19 games are not enough time. The same for the other freshmen. I'm very optimistic for the future and will be extremely happy if we get a first round bye this year.

Paul Kariya led Maine to a national championship as a freshmen with one of the greatest seasons in college hockey history. Jack Eichel last year lead BU to the title game. The issue isn't relying on freshmen. The issue is the talent on this team is not good, and the system is conservative as hell, exposing the weakness of the talent. You have to take calculated risks if you want to win a hockey game without getting incredibly lucky. When is the last time you saw a great aggressive pinch from one of the d-men to keep a cycle alive. Or the last time an aggressive stick in the neutral zone broke up the opponents breakout. As I've pointed out before, our possession metrics against good teams were bad. Now, our overall possession metrics are bad with our even strength CF% at 49%, which seems to corroborate my theory that our good early metrics were a product of small sample size and bad competition. Admittedly our all of our Fenwick statistics and our CF% Close are better but at 19 games in Corsi at even strength is just going to be the best metric because it has the largest sample of data (there have been more than 500 fewer events at CF% close than just CF% at even strength, Fenwick events are even lower due to the removal of blocked shots, which is why it usually takes 30-35 games of data for FF% to stabilize). A team at 49% is just a mediocre team. As shooting percentages begin to fall back to normal levels (You have to ask yourself are Angello and Kubiak really 20%+ good? The only correct answer to this is no, not even Ovi is that good and he's arguably the greatest goalscorer ever (http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25444553/alex-ovechkins-run-at-500-goals-among-the-best-in-nhl-history)), then the team needs to generate more shots. Shot attempts are just more sustainable over time than shooting percentage. What we're seeing over the last month is a team that's overplaying its talent crash back to a performance more in line with what the underlying metrics would dictate. Not good, not bad. Just mediocre. Mediocre talent can be covered up for with intelligent deployment of assets. A great example of this is Dave Hakstol. With both the Flyers and NoDak, Hak has for the most part utilized his talent as efficiently as possible. He has preached an aggressive pinching system with his d-men and strove to dominate the neutral zone. This is why, despite the fact that the Flyers defense could be best described as a traffic cone in a garbage fire in the defensive zone, they've improved from a negative possession team under Berube, to a positive possession team under Hakstol. And yes they could be better if he didnt do stupid things like start Umberger over Gagner and scratch Medvedev instead of Schultz, but you have to ask yourself, when is the last time Schafer's style has actually positively contributed to his team's peformance. It seem's to me as if all the success has been either small sample size luck or special teams fueled. There is not one time I would call Schafer's teams an even strength monster like the LA Kings. This is why we aren't good.

Not to discount the rest of your argument, but when you start with "the issue is not relying on freshmen" and you cite Kariya nad Eichel you're setting yourself up to be ignored.

As I posted on the D'mouth thread, did you see the RPI game? Conservative it wasn't.
And yes, I've seen dmen pinch on multiple occasions every game, sometimes both pinch and then I get worried. So your stats may be correct, but I disagree with your statements. And to use the 2 best ever freshmen as saying that the issue isn't relying on freshmen, well your outliers only go to prove the point. Freshmen just don't normally take your team to the championship.
And as an aside, it would be a lot easier to read your post if you would break up the paragraph.

Well, it is a consistent argument: youth is not an automatic excuse because if the youth is good enough the team still wins. So, our problem isn't youth, it's the absence of that level of talent.
But... Eichel and Kariya are literally once per generation talents, and among mortals experience does count for something.

One game does not a system exonerate. Especially one against a team that is worse than Cornell.
And talented freshmen leading teams to great heights isn't an outlier. It happens pretty much every year. And if you want to win, then you need that type of talent. NoDak made the Frozen Four in 2006 depending on Johnathan Toews and T.J. Oshie as a freshman. In fact that team only had 2 seniors. They'd make the Frozen Four again in 2006 with a whopping 5 seniors. The 2011-2012 BC team got major contributions from Johnny Gaudreau. Shayne Gostisbehere was a major driving force in Union being good from the day he stepped on campus. The team that won the conference in 2011-2012 sure wasn't because of age. They had 4 seniors, and their best player was a freshman d-man. Maine made a Frozen Four in 2000 with a roster featuring more freshmen than juniors and seniors combined. The type of talent that wins NCAA championships and brings deep playoff runs is the type that is ready to play from day 1 and then go on to make a difference in the NHL. You look at every recent championship team and they've had those. Cornell doesn't. We have guys that will be lucky to play 100 games as 4th line, 5/6/7 D types.
I could go on all day, but the point is that yes some teams grow into talent over time (see Union) but if the real NHL caliber talent isn't there in the first place then the ceiling is pretty low and it becomes a matter of putting your players in a position to succeed. Schafer doesn't do that. Maybe we don't have the talent to dominate the neutral zone, but an aggressive forecheck that slows down a breakout would help. So would not pulling an Andrew MacDonald (http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2014/4/15/5615178/andrew-macdonald-flyers-defenseman-neutral-zone-play). Winning the neutral zone and the blue lines is the key to winning hockey games. We do not break up the opponents plays at either blue line. We do not breakout and exit our zone with control. And we do not enter the offensive zone with control of the puck. We do not do any of these things with regularity or consistency, and we never have in the time I've been watching us under Schafer. An aggressive system would not help with all of these, but it could at least mask the deficiencies in our breakout. If you rarely have to play in your d-zone then you don't need to break out of it as often. That is what good coaching is. Adjusting to the strengths and weaknesses of your team. No matter what the talent, no matter what they do, Schafer does the same old dump and chase 1-2-2 trap. That's why the lack of success the past
half decade is on him. The players are what they are. But he has the power to do something about it and doesn't.

Well we have done this, so I have to disagree. The RPI game was the ultimate. Yes, they probably aren't as good as their record, and neither were we. When we faced Union and Dartmouth, they clogged up the neutral zone and we had to dump it in. In fact I think the problem with those games was that we couldn't do the dump and chase well enough. The problem with Harvard was that their talent level is better than us.
As I've said before, we're never going to get the guaranteed NHL players. It's just too hard to compete with the big time scholarship schools, and to a certain extent even with Harvard and their scholarship policy. We need to make do with players who will hopefully develop over a couple of years.
But I'll also stand by my statement that it's not correct to say Schafer hasn't changed. As long as we are in a losing phase, this will continue to come up. Hopefully the team can end it soon.
This is why using joke threads as the de facto game thread is usually not a good idea.
I'm not so sure a whole lot has changed between the beginning of the season and now, besides our luck. We were getting outshot then, and we're getting outshot now. The advanced stats suggested we were a mediocre team all along, and our recent results have borne that out. The only real identifiable change I have noticed is that Gillam's play has been worse. He stole some games early (BU, Prov especially), but has been struggling with rebound control and playing the puck behind the net as of late. I was hopeful that, despite all signs pointing to the fact that we'd fall back down to earth, our injured players returning would counteract that regression to the mean. That hasn't happened, unfortunately. Starrett and Buckles (the two highest draft picks on the team) being healthy scratches against Harvard doesn't bode too well as far as developing NHL talent is concerned.

Wait, what?

There. All fixed. As you were.

Unless you know why they were scratched I don't think your conclusion is valid. I can think of reasons why being a healthy scratch for a game, or more, would be useful in development. If we had the number of players to do it, some healthy scratches in the past 3 years might have been helpful.
Quote from: Jim HylaUnless you know why they were scratched I don't think your conclusion is valid.
In the pre-game interview Schafer strongly implied that Starrett and Buckles were benched due to lack of hustle and/or discipline against Dartmouth. I remember it because from what I saw of Buckles on Friday I found it very surprising.

Thanks, that could be helpful in their development. Work ethic is obviously very important, especially when you need everyone to contribute. When you bench some of your "better" players, it also sends a signal to the rest of the team. As I said before, I wish he could have done that the last few years. Oh well, water over the dam.

Schafer also said (IIRC in the same pre-game) that now that the team is healthy again all the players have to learn that they will be accountable since there's a "next man up" for each position.
I'm not sure whether this means Lalor and Otterman are healthy and just on the bottom of the ladder right now, or whether they are unhealthy but Schafer's thinks the team now has a critical mass of players to start enforcing accountability.
BTW, I loved Freschi being back in the lineup and hope he sticks. He is such a great pest and I think he helps keep the team from going into coma when bad things happen.

Can it be that no one bumped this thread for the annual wasted opportunity for Harvard to help he ECAC's out-of-conference record in the BeanPot?
Less than 10 days till the LynahEast tilt (Friday, February 19, 2016)
Not sure whether Cornell Athletics has any tickets left, but I just noticed that Harvard has about 2 dozen tickets in section 15 in groups of 3/5/7/8
Looking like I wont be able to make it this year, and I have listed my 6 tickets (section 14) in the Ticket forum as well if anyone is looking and wants to help me out.
GO BIG RED!
Merrick Garland Harvard '74 / Harvard Law '77 would replace Antonin Scalia Harvard Law '60. He would join six others who attended Harvard Law:
1 John Roberts (also Harvard undergrad)
2 Stephen Breyer
3 Anthony Kennedy
4 Stephen Breyer
5 Elena Kagan
6 Ruth Bader Ginsburg '54 (attended Harvard Law, degree from Columbia)
Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Sonia Sotomayor are Yale Law.
Enough. If only Douglas Ginsburg '70 didn't have such a checkered background. Imagine that: Cornellian in the 1960s, smoked weed. Probably wore bell-bottom jeans and had a red or UV mood light that also cleared up his complexion. Who'd have imagined him lighting up.

This has probably already been done, but someone working on a sociology PhD should do a similar analysis of lower-level federal courts. These are said to be the spawning grounds for the SCOTUS. It would be interesting to see to what degree this Ivy League (actually HY) inner circle is enforced at the lower levels.

The name of the game for law schools is the T14. So you're most likely to see Yale, Harvard, Chicago, UVA, Penn Stanford, etc. than you are Cornell.

It's 87% likely that we are in the off-season and so time for some good old-fashioned thread drift:
I just want to point out that these religious labels are in some cases more accurately ethnic or social group designations rather than actual beliefs. We still don't live in a world where politicians can be openly free thinkers, but I suspect that many of the justices don't actually base their morality and decisions on modified translations of some of the mythology of ancient middle eastern tribes.

May be true for many on the SCOTUS, perhaps because of some law of large numbers (8-9 people on the court, depending on how you count). But there is only one POTUS, and one of the remaining candidates for this office does indeed appear to base morality and decisions on the mythology of ancient middle-eastern tribes, as well as that of wandering tribes of the twenty-first century. This candidate's candidacy (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/14/does-ted-cruz-think-he-s-the-messiah.html) does seem to be based, at least in part, on the belief that this is the time to "take dominion" over the government, as according to scripture. ::scared::

Guys, there's a perfectly good forum just a few clicks away for political stuff.
At the risk of being hall monitor, I agree with Keith. Please post politics elsewhere -- might I recommend any of dozens (hundreds) of USCHO threads.

Fair enough.
But before moving over, let's just recap the drift. On 3/16, Bill Howard pointed out that Merrick Garland, Sucks '74, was nominated to replace Antonin Scalia, Sucks '60. Currently there are 3 Yalies and 5 Suckies on the court, and Garland would bring it to 3 + 6. I then wondered out loud how widespread this was in the federal judiciary. LGR14 answered this with references, which boiled the answer down to "very, very widespread." Then Jim Hyla noticed a similar disproportionality in religious composition, but Roy 82 quickly pointed out this is probably more indicative of identity than belief. And I just observed that a certain Princeton '92 grad running for president seems very rooted in belief.
You know, this isn't hockey. But stepping back, it sure does look like a team sport, doesn't it?
OK. I'm out of here. ::bolt::

A verbal commitment is not a signed contract. Technically you can have an oral contract, but those can't be for longer than a year. Point being until he signed on the dotted line, it was his right to change his mind. We don't call teams awful when they tell a guy he's going to be a big part of their future and then trade him. I don't really see the difference.

I mean we've only heard Poile's side of the story. Maybe he didn't explicitly promise the Perds the way Polie said. Maybe he wants to play hockey with his brother in Toronto. Perhaps he wants to play for the Bruins, for whom he rooted as a child, or maybe he has some other completely legit reason to want to sign elsewhere. Way I see it, he's not in the wrong either. He owes the Predators nothing.

Maybe he thought their opening contract offer was such shit he decided he'd rather unwind after an intense senior year of college hockey, take his finals, graduate and exercise his rights under the CBA rather than sign a bad deal and join the Preds.

Aren't the Clippers somewhat good these days? Unlike Harvard, who sucks.

The answer to this question is contained, in part, to the book Odd Man Rush by Bill Keenan. He played for Harvard around 2005-7 then knocked around the European minor leagues. Book is hilarious, with a fair amount relating his time with (and antipathy toward) Coach Donato - whom the Harvard team apparently refers to as "Doughnuts," Well worth the $9.99 on Amazon.::banana::::banana::::banana::

A cousin of mine has died and I won't be going to the games this weekend. That means I won't be bringing Snickers for the band (I'm assuming there will be some members at the games, but with the home football game, I'm not sure.), or to throw. Also no newspapers. I'm wondering if anyone could bring Snickers for the band and to throw, if they like. Also I know that many of you will bring your own newspapers, but it would be nice for someone(s?) to bring extra to the Harvard game. I've got standing room tickets for the Harvard game and my first choice is to give them to anyone that'll help. I can email them.

Here's an apology from the Harvard men's soccer team. (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2016/11/4/mens-soccer-apology/?utm_source=thecrimson&utm_medium=web_primary&utm_campaign=recommend_sidebar)
I see Jim's not going, though at this point I probably won't have a chance to buy Snickers. Sorry, Band!
Who IS going? Any good pre-game plans that Age and I could join? As a member of the Traveling Faithful who regularly went to John Harvard's before and/or after the game for many years, I'm not a fan of the CCOB taking over the whole venue and charging $25 for admission.
I just got an e-mail with a Harvard Athletics Weekly report. First time ever. Did anyone else get this? How did I get on such a mailing list?
Here is their subject line:
This Week: We're Thankful for a NCAA Tournament Game at Harvard! Plus, Hockey and Basketball at Home!
Did you ever buy tickets online and the Crimson computers harvested your e-mail address?
I got one too. I think it has something to do with ILDN, because I also received an earlier email from Harvard Athletics on 11/21 asking me to complete an ILDN survey. Maybe we accessed a game from the wrong side.
Just posting to correct the travesty of this thread not being bumped by now.

"Game Notes: Harvard Ready for Beanpot Clash Versus Northeastern"
"Monday's meeting between Harvard and Northeastern is the 44th at the Beanpot Tournament. Harvard has a 23-20 edge in the all-time Beanpot series with the Huskies, but Northeastern has won four of the last five meetings at TD Garden. Overall, Harvard has a 65-36-0 lead in the all-time series against Northeastern."
So they are 65-36 overall and only 23-20 in Beanpot against them. That makes 42-16 non-Beanpot vs. 23-20 Beanpot.
Who says they under-perform in the Beanpot.:-}

This is even more amazing considering Northeastern failed to win the first 27 Beanpots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beanpot_(ice_hockey)#All-time_results) which, in a four-team tourney -- woof! They went to 2 finals during that period, so they were 2-25 in the first round.
Harvard will no doubt fuck up the Beanpot again, but it would be better for us if they didn't.
Harvard wins, but tried hard to lose. Up 4-1 they win 4-3.
This is Harvard's 3rd beanpot championship appearance since 1994.

Now.
1) Game started late on Roku. While waiting, watched the Harvard Beanpot sights and sounds video. Pretty good pregame stuff and then terrible quality game action video (poor color correction, feed from NESN is off TV with screen crawler). A separate video of game highlights vs. Northeastern ends once Harvard is up 4-1, doesn't show the last 2 NE goals.
2) Color commentator for Harvard-Union broadcast sounds like Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer last week.
3) Five minutes into the game, there are not 1,000 people in the stands for a showdown of the 4 and 6 teams in the country.
Union is getting lit up and all the other games are tied.
Merrimack won 6-3 at BC, a good result for us
Princeton beat St. Lawrence 3-1. An excellent result for us!
Clarkson tops Q 4-2.

The lead sentence of that article goes immediately to the Journalism Hall of Fame.
Harvard a decade ago rescinded the admission offer to HS senior Blair Hornstine who sued her Moorestown, NJ HS to be the sole valedictorian, no co-valedictorian. The publicity about the lawsuit resulted in a closer look at some articles she'd published in a local paper. They were plagiarized. Admission was rescinded.

You Long Islanders are the people who think White Plains is upstate. You've already had your 15 minutes with Amy Fisher (figuratively). You've got Billy Joel, we've got Bruce. (Also Chris, for another six months.) Odds favor one of the 10 rescindees calling the Guyland home. The more I think about it, the lives of these 10 deserve to be followed by Pro Publica.
Quote from: billhowardOdds favor one of the 10 rescindees calling the Guyland home.
Maybe one, but those guys got pulled because they were bringing the Alt-Reich stupidity, or its ironic cousin anyway. Maybe a Brooklyn Hipster hellspawn, but more likely these were bro-ed out bros on a rocketship from Choate to whatever douche Harvard* frat Zuckerberg** bought his way into. They also smell more Masshole than Lawn Guyland. Our little dicks and dickettes (but I am willing to bet they were all male) would have been shawpping at the mawl.

Well, many years later Blair Hornstine is now a practicing lawyer in the Philly area, at the law firm (http://www.hornstine.com/blair-leah-hornstine/) she co-founded with her father (a retired NJ judge). No mention of her past lawsuit, as expected.
Over at Laxpower on the Harvard 2018 thread (http://network.laxpower.com/laxforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63227&start=20) they're discussing the administration's current attempts to limit or actually eliminate Final Clubs as a way to reduce drinking, sexual misconduct, and elitism. There's mention of a dispute over the data used to justify such policies, with those who allegedly interpreted the data more rigorously advocating instead that Harvard focus "more on education than in banning clubs."
Boy, talk about naiveté! If Harvard started focusing more on education, it might have to make the most common grade something less than A (https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/10/as-have-been-harvards-most-common-grade-for-20-years/?mcubz=0&_r=0).

The lawyer retained by one of the final clubs sums this current thrust in institutional governance up nicely:
"[The draft policy] exhibits a contempt for student autonomy that is breathtaking."
Reminds me of the RPI stuff. At the same time as I think they're curiously unwilling to stand up for themselves and overwhelmingly unprepared to do so, I kind of feel bad about what "kids these days" face on so many fronts. They're caught under the whipsaw of societal trends toward greater surveillance and institutional trends toward administrative embiggening.
Considering their general herd-like habits, maybe encouraging a bit of autonomy wouldn't be such a bad thing. (Oh, wait, the point of higher education is to prepare them for the cubicle—I forget!)

So it's 9:08 AM, nothing up online and they don't answer the phone. I guess 10:00 AM is the time.

Singles are left, but they have opened up SRO and most of those are available. StubHub now has 39 seats from $50 to $110. But to be fair, some of those were posted before today's single ticket sale. So I guess some Harvard season ticket holders were selling.
And StubHub has tickets for Harvard at Lynah from $100 to $166, these are from townies season ticket sales.
As of now, there are still a few scattered tickets left.
Quote from: IcebergAs of now, there are still a few scattered tickets left.

By the looks of StubHub there were some who purchased to resell at a profit. Offers for #10, 10, 11 & 12 tickets for sale.
We could miss Donato and Fox twice if they make the Olympic team. They would be at trials in "early November" and then at the Games which run from Valentine's Day to Feb 25. Our games are Nov 11 and Feb 26.

We all want the best for our children and we want them to be intelligent and accepted. We also want our children to look like they belong.
Finding the right look can be one of the hardest things for intended parents to define when they start searching for an egg donor. Your case manager will talk with you about your own physical characteristics, and help you hone in on what's important. Maybe you want a tall egg donor because everyone in your family is tall. Your ideal may be a blonde egg donor, or a beautiful egg donor, or even an athletic egg donor.
For Harvard, must be blood type A.

Reminds me of a joke.
Jayne Mansfield: We should have a kid together. Imagine what the kid would be like, with my looks and your brains.
Albert Einstein: Yes, but what if the kid has my looks and your brains.
(This is probably unfair to Jayne Mansfield. I don't completely remember the name of the woman in the joke.)
Kind of unfair to Einstein, too. I don't believe he was the kind of dick to make such a remark.
There is a similar joke where Charles says, "But what if the child gets my looks and Diana's brains?" It goes around.

Rocky II ("your good looks and your good brains - and my good left hook".)
There was a related joke in Rocky as well, but it was Rocky saying his father had told him he didn't have much in the way of brains so he'd better develop his body, and Adrian responding that was funny because her mother had told her she didn't have much in the way of a body so she'd better develop her brains.
And then the ice skating rink closed, because it was Thanksgiving, for G_d's sake.
I miss the chicken being tied to the goal it was funnier than the fish stuff.
And then there's the old band cheer:
Cornell eats Wheaties.
We are fit.
Harvard doesn't.
They eat ssssssshredded wheat.

Funny, here in Kathmandu one occasionally sees people wearing Harvard clothing. In my mind I put them into three categories: tourists who may very well have some connection to Harvard, Nepalis who either have or aspire to have some connection, and Nepalis who wear the clothes with a sense of irony. I'm often tempted to say "sucks" when I pass them on the street, but I don't know how to say "sucks" in Nepali.
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.
I just don't get what is the reason to say something offensive to a random stranger.
Nor do I understand how someone feels after doing it.
Enlighten me.
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.

Searching Stubhub for ticket availability in case a classmate married to a Clarkson guy want to go to Saturday's ECAC QF game versus Clarkson. No tickets available, maybe b/c AudienceView, Cornell's third-party ticket provider got hacked and Cornell suspended sales after some students buying tix online wound up with multi-thousand-dollar credit card charges. (I assume this was not a Dyson School real world class project.) Cornell Sun story: https://cornellsun.com/2023/03/01/cornells-ticketing-service-compromised-under-information-breach-on-partner-platform-card-frauds-costing-students/
Meanwhile, Stubhub offered hockey alternatives. Notice their rendition of the 3,095-seat Bright-Landry Center. (Ignoring for a moment Quinnipiac's uniform color):
I'm more intrigued with StubHub offering Dartmouth hockey tickets as an alternative. I bet those are cheap.

Harvard up 2-1 midway through the third, getting ready I assume for another collapse.

Are you really that surprised? I don't recall Harvard ever being quite as dependent on Canadian players as Cornell has been historically. It's been closer to 50/50 US/Canada (plus the odd Eastern European here and there) in recent years but it wasn't that long ago that we had some recruiting classes almost entirely from Canada.

losing 7 players off your roster right before next season is an absolute disaster so I disagree with the original post anyway
Even if Harvard quickly gets a temporary restraining order against this ban, it will have a chilling effect on international students (and athletes) applying to Harvard.
Fortunately, Cornell does not appear to be close to receiving a similar penalty by the Trump administration, as the ban on international students (which Harvard will immediately litigate) follows several rounds of back and forth between Harvard and the Trump administration. Columbia previously received a letter of demands and acquiesced. Harvard received a different letter of different demands and chose to fight. Cornell hasn't received any such letter. It appears President Kotlikoff understands how much hinges on staying out of the crosshairs of the Trump administration. As he recently told the Sun: "I will say we have not received a letter like Harvard... I will say that one of my goals is to not receive such a letter." He has been back and forth to DC to put in a good word about Cornell.

I don't know anything about the judge, or the underlying law really, but this seems like the most open-and-shut injunction in history. So I'm sure this judge would grant it, but so would any reasonable judge.
On the transfer point—if international students/athletes are transferring out of Harvard as a result of the government's actions, this is an abhorrent situation regardless of where they end up. We should all hope it never comes to this.

I'm confident that almost any judge (except the Trumpiest ones) would issue an injunction and rule in Harvard's favor. But I also believe the administration will do everything it can to undermine any such ruling.

that was fast (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.285083/gov.uscourts.mad.285083.11.0_5.pdf) (as it had to be)
Could you or another lawyer give a view of how quickly this will be litigated and the merits of each side's case?

They likely will not transfer at all. Harvard is going to challenge this in court. And let's hope they succeed, because Trump could come for the other Ivies next.
Yeah, I have no interest in taking Harvard transfers under these circumstances. The fascists need to be reigned in, but unfortunately they seem content to ignore court orders with the blessing of the GOP in Congress. Very concerning.

I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect it will have to be litigated in Judge Burroughs' court, then appealed, and then possibly taken before the Supremes. I'll be interested to see if (a) the Supremes agree to hear the case and (2) if they drag out the process as they did with Trump's claim of immunity.
I don't think so. I mean, if he wins he wins. But I think he's just jerking their chain. Maybe because his dad wasn't a big enough shot to get him in there. The Harvard worm produces different symptoms in different people.
