Thanks Steareax - I really appreciate the stream of consciousness postings. It paints the picture, both of what you are seeing and thinking. I think Hunter Thompson would be proud.

Quote from: Trotsky on February 26, 2026, 02:38:51 AMDoes the fan vote count for anything?

(It shouldn't.)

It counts for a tiny amount of data mining for the NC$$

pedantic correction - data mining for the Hobey Committee, which has no connection with the NCAA on this.

And as BeeeEj said, it counts very little - and that's only towards determining the final 10. Among the final 10, it has no bearing.

So basically - nope. You are all just dupes for click farming.

So, not even worth doing the text vote?  There are other criteria being used to determine the top 10 besides the fan vote?

Be thankful that you're not a Seattle Mariners fan....

I would retire 3 for Mike, were I the retiring type.  He was a fun and consequential player and is (arguably) the single greatest contributor to Cornell hockey.

All 4 of my Rushmore -- Schafer, Dryden, Ned Harkness, and Laing Kennedy -- are Canadian.  Who is the greatest American contributor to Cornell hockey? James Lynah, from South Carolina, founded the ECAC, but while towering alumnus and namesake I don't think of him as specifically Cornell.

Maybe it's Art Mintz.  :-)

Topher Scott? Stephen Baby? Jay Bloom?

An alternative to retiring Schafer's number.

Oh that is a WONDERFUL idea.

Montana State football has a neat tradition of having an in-state senior wear #41, in honor of Montana being the 41st state, amongst other reasons.

Truly a "sieve" goal.

Quote from: ugarte on January 05, 2026, 10:33:07 PMdon't want to start a new thread for this but Harvard's excellent QB transferred to TCU

He graduated from Harvard last month, so he was planning all along on transferring to a big-time football school to improve his NFL prospects.

Cornell has a lot of this year's seniors in the transfer portal.  Unfortunately, they also have what what be a 2026-27 junior LB Keith Williams also in the portal. He's received offers already from the U. of Minnesota and Northwestern.  That's the NIL world we live in today.

Heck, Montana State won the FCS title and they now have 10 or so guys in the transfer portal. Truly a different world....

Annoyingly, the FIFA World Cups are on Fox these days and I've never been able to get that without signing up for some pseudo-cable package like Fubo or YouTube TV.

peacock will have all the games, though with Spanish commentary

FoxOne is a streaming app that might be helpful.  I used it to watch the baseball ALCS this last fall.

Quote from: Ken711 on December 06, 2025, 05:46:19 PMYale lost to #2 seed Montana State 21-13, but they showed the Ivy League can play against the best FCS teams.  Hope we see Cornell in the football playoffs in the near future as well.

Yeah, Yale was very competitive, in a very hostile environment.

Their O line did a good job opening some room for their running backs. Take back the first 2 interceptions (the 3rd was a 4th down "run out of options so heave it down field"), and it would have been even closer.

Quote from: Trotsky on December 04, 2025, 02:36:16 AMSaturday 2pm ET, #18 Yale (9-2) at #2 Montana State (10-2). The most important Ivy League football game since 1945. Go Eli!

It's a 15 minute walk to Bobcat Stadium for me, and the weather forecast is OK (snow, better than rain), so I'm gonna go see if Yale can make a game of it.

.... it becomes ping-pong, not a debate, and not everyone keeps their cool.

I looked it up so you* don't have to: CHIP is a comprehensive-quality stat comparable to baseball's WAR.

* person like me

I still had to look up WAR, though.

(It's not all that relevant to the Mets, you see.)

We're about to piss away Pete's 23.3 career WAR.  Relevance.

There's a miserable, miserable part of me that says let Pete walk, let Edwin walk, and try to have an under the luxury tax threshold reset year.

Just as long as the Mets don't throw crazy $ at Josh Naylor. The Mariners fanbase is on pins and needles hoping they can sign him, despite our notoriously cheap ownership.

Mets-Mariners fan here too.  There are a surprising number of us, in steerage on the ship of the damned.

Good news for the Mariners - looks like they are about to sign Naylor to a 5 year deal, per the Seattle Times.
"The exact contract figures are not immediately known, but the deal will most certainly end up as the largest free-agent contract the Mariners have given to a position player in the last decade under Jerry Dipoto, the club's president of baseball operations."

Climbing off my thread-drift soap box now......

Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82 on November 15, 2025, 11:49:40 PMIn the second period, I turned to the friend I was with and said "They look gassed."  Fortunately, they found their legs in the third to tie it up.

But my god, the officiating was pathetic.

Dude. I dragged an exchange student friend to this weekend's games. After the Colgate game, she looked at me and said, and I quote, "I didn't understand why you said when we lose it's the ref's fault. Now I do. I understand that I'm blind, I'm deaf chant."

Second hockey game EVER, mind you.

She is a Cornellian, so maybe not so surprising?

Quote from: Chris H82 on October 22, 2025, 01:07:12 PMHey, technical question here.

The new software shows me that there are new posts on a topic.  But, unlike the old software, when I click on the link for the thread, it takes me to the start of the topic, rather than the location as to where the new post is at. I am logged in.  Is there something in the settings that would enable me to land directly at the new post?  I've looked in the settings, but can't seem to find it.  I have this problem both on my PC (Brave browser) and my Android phone (again, Brave browser). Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
