Some talk that Cornell and Iowa State will have the top two recruiting classes coming in next fall.
Now I have another Albany tournament to attend!

Rich, you are reading a Cornell hockey message board. Zinging Clarkson is part and parcel of what we do here. It is sort of our life.
You lurk in the shadows looking for slights against Clarkson. Before you start talking about the kettle you might want to take note of your own color, my pot-like friend.
To be fair to Rich, he did not contest that Nickeron eats babies and has syphilis. ;-)

Cornell wins national chase for champion Forks wrestler... picked Cornell over Harvard , Minn. and West Virginia[/q] I was so busy being annoyed by RichS that I forgot to comment about what a coup this is. Great job by Rob Koll and the entire Cornell wrestling staff.

Any kid who could make 96 pounds in high school would probably win by default. :-P
Yes he did - Likely canidate for a fifth title this year -
Troy is unbeaten to date this year - -
Just an update: From Sun. 1/16 Binghamton paper:
"... Six-time Southern Tier Athletic Conference champion.
Nickerson pinned Ithaca's Louie Rubin in 1 minute, 49 seconds, of the 130-pound finals to win the record-setting sixth title Saturday at the STAC Championships. ..."

Let's hope Louie goes to Penn or Lehigh. ;-)
You think this guy is Lee's replacement?
I have talked to some people from the area who think he has a shot at 4 national titles.
