How did Rob Panell do it?

Pannell did not have at least one course required for graduation from CALS so he had an academic justification to return for another semester.

Syracuse fans always find something to complain about when their team loses.

One sec!



11-9!!!

Thanks!

Shows how long it has been since I saw a game live in Ithaca — there were bleachers the whole length of the press box.  I knew they came out but I didn't realize there was any seating on that side.  Who has access to the mini-bleachers?

I was unable to watch the game live and have not yet watched the archived version.  That being said, looking at the box score, we played pretty even with Yale in all categories but 2.  The first is faceoffs where we won about 2/3.  The other is goalie saves where we had 11 and they had 20 in a game where we outshot Yale 32-24.  I am a goalie parent so there is no way I am going to blame this statistic solely on poor play by Tully because the defense has responsibility for goals scored as well.

If we won significantly more faceoffs, outshot Yale, scored on 2 of 3 man-up situations, picked up our share of ground balls, and cleared very well, it is hard to be too critical of play in the offensive end.  Defensive play lost this game.

Quote from: Chris H82 on March 25, 2026, 05:43:13 PMOn Tuesday, I bought 1 ticket for the regional game, in the Cornell section, via the "bigredtix" link that was from the CU athletics website. Only $40 per game, so a good price.  BUT, there was no seating choices, and the confirmation email says "Your tickets will be sent to you in a separate email."  No sign of that email as of 3:40 Mtn time on Wednesday.  The email address for the confirmation looks legit (bigredtix@tickets.mail.cornell.edu), so I don't think it's a scam. 
Has anyone else received (or not) their game tix that they ordered via this process? And I'm assuming they'll be a randomly assigned seat, or simply "grab a seat in Section (A or B or C or D)"?

I bought Women's Frozen Four tickets via CU athletics last year. I think the tickets arrived a day or two before the game, so I'd expect them by now. Seats were assigned at random.

Mine showed up today on my "Axs" ticket account, so all is good.

Mine showed up at 4 am Thursday and once I opened the email it took me 45 minutes to access what looks like a ticket because I had to turn off privacy settings, VPN, etc, on my phone to access AXS, set up an AXS account and find the ticket.

Cornell Club of Colorado sent out the wrong time.  I didn't see the correction message until this morning but did manage to get a ticket. 

The email I received from CU Athletics said the discounted tickets in sections A-D [$80 for the weekend] go on sale at 9 am MOUNTAIN TIME on TUESDAY.  I assume one needs to use the Cornell athletic website link for this to work.  They specify that there is a refund for Sunday if Cornell does not advance.

That was awful.  Men also lost in the first round of the ECAC hockey tournament.  At least Lax beat Princeton.

As I was yelling at the screen as each wrestler lost, I had to remind myself that they care way more than I do -- as a fan -- when they don't perform as well as expected or as well as they hope.  One can learn from failure/disappointment and I hope that is true in this case.

Everyone advances after the first round.  Tyler needed luck to do so.

I watched Wayne play as a Cornell student and he eventually coached one of my kids in IYHA.  He was a wonderful, giving person with a quiet wit and a big heart.  RIP

Quote from: The Rancor on March 02, 2026, 09:34:51 AMJust saw the team picture- they definitely all decided to share a bottle of bleach as a goof.

It's a semi-common playoff tradition among younger guys (who often can't grow beards yet). I think I recall seeing a few youth teams dye pink, but blond is a standard. Only thing that was throwing me off was that the blonds were all different shades - except if it was bleach and not dye, that would make sense, LOL.

My son's HS soccer team did the same thing for the playoffs back in the day

My son's Ithaca Youth Hockey Peewee team got their heads shaved in Canton NY when we were there for the state championship tournament.  No one told the parents that this was the plan, other than the one dad who paid the barber. It worked....Most of the kids on the team went on to win a state championship for the high school as well.

stereax -- I loved your description of the game as it brought back 20 years of memories.  I had two boys play hockey at IHS, and The Rink was constructed during that time.  It may be inconvenient to get to but it was a godsend when the alternative was early morning ice time at Lynah or sharing the Cass Park rink with everyone else who wanted to skate.  The Rink was built in large part by community volunteers with funds contributed by the community.

I texted Cornell Athletics Communications about the clock issue.  30 seconds later it was fixed.  Home team advantage.

25 and sunny at game time.  No wind chill.  Balmy.

Quote from: Al DeFlorio on February 21, 2026, 08:59:48 PMFrom the IL article:  "Cornell middie AJ Nikolic, who missed last season due to injury and did not play in the season-opener vs. UAlbany, scored the opening goal for the Big Red but left the game mid-way through the third quarter with an apparent leg injury."

AJ was clearing the ball and he may have landed awkwardly.  He went down, got up and was then hit by a Denver player, going down again.  He then left the field.  It was not clear to me exactly how he got injured, nor how bad it was.

Woo woo!  The feed is live.
