Quote from: stereax on September 30, 2025, 11:47:05 AMAlso, uh... there a way to hide email on the profile?

I think the email address shows only when you are looking at your own profile. (At least I hope that is the case.)

Hopefully... can you see mine? I can only see your Skype... which doesn't exist anymore.......

The only thing I see for other profiles a way to PM them. I don't even see Skype, which I never had lol. (Though I see the Skype icon when I look at my own profile.)

This is what I see on you:

LOL, I feel like I post here a lot, but 893 posts in 20 years is ... not a lot.

Same here 

Slow start with Yale scoring first; Cornell with 2 toward the end of the first half.  Let's hope they stay focused.

Quote from: David HardingThanks to Al DeFlorio's mention of Jane McNally in the Sun sports beat thread, I see that the new field is in use even though construction is not yet complete.

Jane had her third shutout of the year!

Yale came into the game unbeaten and ranked #17 so this was a particularly impressive shutout.

Quote from: stereaxCool article about ECAC W hockey. Did y'all know this?

"With the roster down to just 21 players thanks to a freshman class of 6, staying healthy will be just as important as any on-ice keys for Cornell this season."

Yeah, was surprised this year's class was not bigger, but the class for fall 2026 is shaping up to be bigger than this season's senior class. Just hope the team stays as healthy as possible this season, I guess.

Staying healthy is clearly important but for context, remember that there were 18 players on the 2009-2010 team that lost the national championship game in triple overtime.

These are the PLL players.  There may be a different mix in the MLL.

Adler quietly did his job well enough to impress those who evaluate PLL performance.  I love that the award is titled the "Dave Pietramala Defensive Player of the Year."

Presumably he is good to go because ESPN and the PLL have been hyping his return during every media time out in the first 3games this weekend.

This thread is as good a place as any to note that CJ makes his PLL debut with the Philadelphia Waterdogs tonight at 8 pm EDT on ESPN+.

A Tambroni returns to Cornell:  New Assistant Field Hockey Coach

Quote from: billhowardAgainst Mike Schaffer and now, Buczek. I'm sure I'm forgetting other Cornell alumni coaches.

Solid start from Jaques.

Jenny Graap, woman's lacrosse; Doug Derraugh, women's hockey; Wes Newman, swimming; Mike Grey, wrestling.  Joanna Novakovic just resigned from her position as coach of the equestrian team.  Julie Platt Farlow coached softball until recently.  And there may be others in sports I don't follow closely.

Cornell University Logo
Dear Cornellians,

Please join us in celebrating Cornell's men's lacrosse team for their electrifying NCAA championship victory May 26 over the University of Maryland. Our Big Red players demonstrated grit, determination, leadership and sportsmanship at every step of this historic season.

This victory marks Cornell's first NCAA team title in any sport since men's lacrosse won the same championship in 1977. Led by Connor Buczek '15, the Richard M. Moran Head Coach of Men's Lacrosse, the team soared in every way, tying a Division I record (18-1), leading the nation in scoring, winning Ivy League titles and producing eight All-American players.

The team's amazing season embodies the best of Cornell, showcasing our values of hard work and perseverance. Their incredible sense of community and teamwork guided them to this victory.

We invite all on the Ithaca campus to join us in honoring the champions with a campus procession at 4:45 p.m. this afternoon, starting at Tanner Terrace in Schoellkopf Hall, along Campus Road, and ending in the Crescent Parking Lot.

Please join me and Cornell Board of Trustees Chair Kraig Kayser, on behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, in congratulating the team members and celebrating their Cornell milestone.

Go Big Red!

Michael I. Kotlikoff
President

Kraig H. Kayser, MBA '84
Chair of the Cornell Board of Trustees

It would be a nice gesture, if Cornell were to hold a small commencement ceremony for the seniors who helped Cornell win this championship.  Several protracted their eligibility when they could have moved on, degree in hand, and made some money.  Kudos to them and the rest of the team for their accomplishments.

They did!!

They have been doing this since at least 2009; maybe 2007.  My memory of details is foggy....

Quote from: arugulaThat was fantastic.  I drove my graduate home today, avoided the score and watched the game tonight. Almost as good as if it were hockey!  Added bonus was that at the Government department graduation ceremony the Dean mispronounced Knust. Wyatt wasn't there of course but a reminder of priorities.  I feel very happy for the graduation and the lacrosse just makes it better.  I'd love them to win it again so for selfish reasons I can completely focus.

i didn't have a graduate with me in 2009, i had a kid approaching his first birthday, so i had to watch *that* game on tape delay. glad you had a better experience!

My younger son was class of '09.  We watched the semifinal game at his fraternity and came realllly close to jumping in the car after the graduation ceremony and driving to Gillette.  OMG would that have been a horrible drive home.

Quote from: semsoxI saw in the athletics notes before the game that this would not only be the first Lacrosse title since 77, but the first team championship in any sport for Cornell since then. Bask in it, because it doesn't come around often

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

Quote from: stereaxWelcome to eLynah. We just won a national championship - the first time since my parents were born, almost - and before the day is done we're already complaining about the merch for the national champions. XD

You made me laugh out loud.  I also realized at some point today that while I have seen the FOUR Cornell national championship games, my two sons -- class of 2004 and 2009-- were not even alive for the first three.  Forty-eight years is literally a lifetime....

Quote from: billhowardThe rule about how many long sticks or wide nets applies to the whole field, not how many must be in the defensive half, so one more go on attack with a bigger stick isn't an infraction and anyway it's harder to shoot with long sticks or wide nets.

IIRC, Albany circa 2100 (if not, then Stony Brook?) had a goalie so talented with stick-handling that on Albany man-ups, he played behind the opponent net as a feeder.

Albany -- Brent Queener who transferred to UAlbany in 2006.
