Quote from: Trotsky on March 25, 2026, 09:17:39 PMPfft.  You've attacked and fought with and snarled at and pouted about half the members of the cafe.

"When you see an asshole on your way to work, you've seen an asshole.
When you see assholes all day long, you're the asshole."

Yes, but I think it's pretty clear who the asshole is this time, and it's not me. There's a reason why I've never snapped at Jim Hyla.

Clownlover..notice yet that, as so often is the case, not a single person here is coming to your defense or agreeing with your take?

Do the math. 

That doesn't mean he's wrong, it just means that others either (1) aren't speaking up or (2) don't agree with him.

They won't approve my registration, but someone should invite the Cornell wrestling forum posters here, as that site is closing imminently. 

Perhaps this site could create a wrestling-specific space, instead of "Other Sports"?

Quote from: ruloffsenjoyer on March 20, 2026, 01:32:45 PMGod. Horrific tournament.

Is it surprising? This seems to have been one of the worst seasons in my recent memory.

Three #2 seeds losing in the quarters is surprising. 

It lives!

Quote from: Noah '27 on March 12, 2026, 09:47:22 AMHey everyone, I don't usually post on here, but I am a lifelong fan of Cornell Hockey and have been a part of the Big Red Pep Band. Please consider supporting the band so that we can go on away trips and bring the Lynah faithful energy anywhere the team goes. The link to my page is attached below

https://givingday.cornell.edu/p2p/630133/noah-kaplan-2600ecdf-9213-4a23-abd6-bec55717a9c5

I will donate to the band but you have to promise one thing in return: please return to the procedure the band used throughout the 2000s and early 2010s where it would open the third period by playing Gonna Fly Now prior to the Hey Song such that the Hey Song does not begin until the players are all out on the ice, and the song continues into the start of play, with the students filling in a capella when play resumes and the band has to stop playing, and then the band picking the song back up upon the next break in play. I think there are videos of this on YouTube. This was my and many others' favorite Lynah song/chant for many years and I'm not sure why the band stopped doing this.

YES x1000

Wtf

This is shocking.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Cornell has had a shutout in every season dating back to at least 1996.  That streak appears to be in jeopardy.  A lot of one-goal games so far, and solid goaltending overall, but only a few chances left (hopefully more like 9 or 10).  Of course, a 2-1 win is the same as a 1-0 win in my book.

Quote from: chimpfood on January 31, 2026, 11:15:07 PMAnother Ithaca kid we probably regret not getting is Cooper Dennis. He has 53 points in 47 OHL games and is going to Michigan next season. But he is 5'6

Do we land the Ithacan kids, ever?

Andy Iles.

I know it exists but can find no evidence of it beyond the Cowbell page on eLynah, and certainly no way to buy or download it.  Does anyone have a copy?  Is it available somewhere?

Quote from: BearLover on November 15, 2025, 01:00:47 PMPeople (rightly) complaining about piped-in music: I implore you, reach out to the athletic department rather than venting about it on ELynah. My bet is that they will listen.

Perhaps reach out to those in the athletics administration, facility management, operations, Lynah Rink categories, as you see fit:

Do this, and then skip donating for a cycle.  Tell them why. 

Hopefully the pep band is advocating for itself too.

He held his own against Manson, who's a pretty tough customer. There are some Colorado fans (looks like maybe a few players too) who are a little heated about Jeff flying in with an "early" punch, but Manson did already have his gloves off. Glad to see Jeff becoming a favorite with the LA crowd too!

Heated because he grabbed Manson's shoulder pad on the way down.

It does show last post author in the right hand column of the thread list.

Looks like that is only true on the desktop site.

Quote from: BearLoverI hadn't realized he was color commentator alongside Al Michaels for the miracle on ice, nor that he was president of the Maple Leafs the last two times they reached the conference finals. RIP

Dryden will always be known for the follow up to Michaels' "Do you believe in miracles? YES!" ... Dryden: "Unbelievable"

He's also prominently heard right before Eruzione's game winner ... "The U.S. team is relying too much on Jim Craig, he's had to make too many big saves" -- BOOM, Eruzione scores.

His book -- not ghost written -- "The Game" is quite simply the best sports book I ever read.

He also makes an appearance in Miracle when they show the original footage at the beginning of the USSR game.

Quote from: mike1960I've been listening to podcasts about championship weekend, and almost universally, commentators have been happy for the Cornell win. Part of the reason is the length of time between championships. Another is the culture and tradition of the program. Also, players they've interviewed have given thoughtful and respectful answers to questions. It's been very satisfying to hear how the program has put such a positive step forward.

What are your favorite podcasts/episodes? Winning the whole shebang is like a drug hit I can't get enough of.

Here's what I've heard so far. If anyone knows of others, please post!
