As colleges and universities grapple with AI, cheating must be taken seriously, Serrano said. "We cannot afford to have a society in which a significant fraction of our best young minds think that cheating is OK," he said. "That leads to a declining society, to a failed society ... We cannot choose to become idiots."

That's not what the dean told us in 1979.  I think it was more along the lines of: "We can't let this get picked up by WLS."

I'll repeat what I said like 6 months ago that we need to pick up our recruiting. 2ish players per draft was alright before the CHL opened. Now it's too far below par.

Hard to believe that you would ever repeat anything, repeat anything, repeat anything, repeat....

I recently checked your posting history and over half of your last 50 posts were complaining about me

Because you repeat the same crap over and over and have moved this forum toward the mentality of a bad ESPN radio broadcast.

You aren't obliged to fill the entire forum the way a radio broadcaster fills a show.

Quote from: Trotsky on June 27, 2026, 12:42:03 PMStupid numbers is why you never retire numbers.

Goalies should always be 1, 30 or 31.

Defensemen should be single digits.  Forwards should be teens.  Either may be 20s.  The End.

At least they won't be more than 25.

Quote from: adamw on June 13, 2026, 11:53:00 AMIt's definitely much worse in other sports - though I feel more for all the HS athletes who get fewer opportunities now because 5th years are blocking them.

Hockey players have pro hockey to go to. This mitigates 5th-year 24-year olds. Most anyone that's any good, will want to be in pro hockey by then.

Casey didn't just not want to upset the apple cart. He specifically was one of a couple of coaches who made impassioned arguments against the NCAA lawyers at the April coaches convention. He has specifically been lobbying on behalf of getting the NCAA to land where it is now. He's been mentioned by other coaches as a leader on this. I've mentioned this before, but some are choosing to conveniently ignore this.

I can't speak to Casey's reasons but it's pretty clear this rule change does not benefit Cornell on net. That's all.

It's a rule that by definition can only hurt us. Maybe it doesn't hurt much in men's hockey and is a disaster in lacrosse and women's hockey. But it definitionally cannot help us.

That's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all.

Quote from: BearLover on June 10, 2026, 10:20:18 AMWhat's your solution?

mostly it's not posting the same thing for the 400th timie so that a new post notification from a real person is something more than a guy complaining about all the fake posts.

Seems like a weak solution. Any other ideas?

Yes  An ignore button so we won't have to see your drivel.

You are a bad vinyl pressing from Record Club of America playing on a broken Magnavox and none of us have a fucking off switch

I have no idea what any of this means so I'm gonna assume it's a compliment

I'll say this multiple times before next January, but if you go to Omaha, go to the zoo. It's fantastic.

Marlon Perkins would agree if he could.

I prefer Marlon Hoek

Quote from: ugarte on June 02, 2026, 10:28:20 AMso throwing around words like "acceptable" for a free forum maintained at his own expense by a guy who doesn't even post here anymore. for my money the bots are a mild improvement over a lot of the earnest posting because at least I'm not tempted to read it. I'm being broken of a compulsive habit and don't mind it at all.

Quote from: stereax on May 29, 2026, 09:07:29 PMokay the stanleyagoth spam is getting out of hand. remind me why mods can't ban obvious bots?

Because the admin has never given mods the power to ban, only to delete posts. I've notified Age that the problem is once again out of control and well beyond my capacity to address.

I read that Pelletier decided to ditch us because his posse has a low  tolerance for bots that require translation.

Couldn't deal with the 20% quota on A's.

Quote from: stereax on May 26, 2026, 01:43:26 PMNow who are the As gonna be... I want to say Catalano gets one? And maybe they hit one of our transfer sophomore Dmen (Fisher or Ashton) with one? Rest of the senior class is Kraft, Devlin, Fegaras. Could also see Kraft getting one a la FFJOL.

K and V!

Quote from: Weder on May 20, 2026, 10:27:40 AMHarvard faculty vote to put a cap on the number of A's given out

QuoteStudents overwhelmingly disapproved of the proposal. Nearly 85 percent of respondents to a February survey administered by the Harvard Undergraduate Association said they disapproved of the proposal

How many of these students will use the Portal to make their way to Quinnipiac?

Next stop on the road to Cambridge.

Quote from: dbilmes on May 20, 2026, 10:31:18 AMYale's new coach sounds confident of ending team's streak of losing seasons.
"This team is going to be good," Hamilton said. "I believe that, and they believe that. It is going to be hard work, and it is going to be a lot of work. It is going to be holding players accountable when it is uncomfortable, but the talent is there. Our staff certainly believes that.
"I don't think it is going to be long. It is going to be a lot of hard work, but Yale hockey will be back on the map soon."

I appreciate that these threads now have a tradition of starting with Yale coaching news.

I appreciate the fact that all the ECAC teams will be finishing with a bye in the first weekend of playoffs.  It will save the league money when all the teams finish in the top 4.
