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.

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.

Midco sports also does not show it on the schedule.

Interesting because if you clock the Mich/Denver game next week it does work.

Support person gave me this link, which appears to work:

FYI, when I tried to log in, I was told my credentials were wrong -- until I agreed to accept promo emails.  I complained to the support guy and he is reporting that as a bug.  For what it is worth

And it appears you will get an error message until the feed is live.  Or at least I hope that is the case....

Quote from: mike1960 on February 15, 2026, 01:58:07 PMOnce again, it looks like the Denver game is broadcast on a platform that requires extra payment ($10). The weather forecast is 45 degrees, so better than Albany but still chilly. I hope the team doesn't get too gassed from the altitude. We'll need second line middies to step up.

45 and sunny can feel like 65 with a danger of sunburn.  The temperature when the women's game started today in Boulder was 53 and I wore s tee shirt.  If the guys go overboard with hydration, they should be fine, especially if they arrive on Thursday.  Running more than one midfield on a regular basis would help, though.

Too many unforced errors.  Hopefully that changes quickly.

I had to go dumpster diving on the internet for a solid 10 minutes to figure out when the women's playoffs are going to be. Make it equal, damn.

The men's lacrosse team does not have the Ivy Tournament on its schedule but the women's team does.  Neither baseball nor softball include the Ivy Tournament.  I suspect that Coach Derraugh and/or the team may prefer not to have a post-season series listed on their schedule until they actually qualify to play in that series.

I know at least one player who left because his family needed money sooner rather than later. Yes, he may have had a better/longer pro career if he had stayed another year, but as others have noted, there are no guarantees. He did return to school when he finished playing.

My point is that those of us in the peanut gallery are not usually well enough informed to second guess these decisions. 

ugarte -- Thank you for another great update.

3-0 end of the first period, thanks to a 5-minute major on RPI.

A couple of unfortunate rebounds on the pk -- down 1-2 after two.  I am not impressed with our play so far.

I am watching from Denver so I have no inside information, but I wonder if it might be illness affecting the team.  I know that was often an issue when I did interact with the men's and women's teams on a regular basis.  Colds, flu, a stomach bug will make the rounds since the players spend so much time together and even a minor illness can really impact play if even a handful of players are not 100%.

Quote from: BearLover on November 14, 2025, 06:01:43 PMThe small roster is baffling. It's not like we had any surprising departures in the offseason.

Perhaps Doug needs some advice.  I wish I knew someone I could recommend. 

He could talk to Casey down the hall (roster size of 31).

I have never heard an explanation of the small roster size so I am hesitant to just assume the coach made a unilateral decision to go with a small group.  That being said, he lost a national championship in triple overtime with a smaller roster so am not ready to give up on this team.  They did look pretty awful though.  Outshot 2-1, at least through the second period.  I haven't looked at the final stats.
