When is the Meinig Fieldhouse supposed to open?

It won't be used for games, just practices, I thought. Can anyone confirm this?

So far.

Yes, so far. Homer and Bart agree, too.

More Best Games to come.

I don't know how it happened, but given the opponent, the margin of victory, the time of year, and how Cornell has looked the last three or four games, I will declare tonight to be The Best Game of the Season. Well done, team. 

Quote from: Trotsky on February 02, 2026, 04:52:50 PMIf you sort by CHIP, all of our top 12 are returning.  5 are freshmen.

Does the ECAC name an all freshman team? It could basically (not exactly) be our starting six.

This is meant as an "isn't that cool
comment?", not a 100% accurate statement.

I prefer Hulu Plus Live TV. $90 per month for the service with ads. Only thing you won't get is the World Juniors but I understand (have not done too much research on this) that Sling includes the NHL Network and offers a daily pass for $4.99.

This is probably more than you are looking to spend (not to mention more content than you need) but unless you...ahem..."yo ho ho" I don't know that cheaper, more focused alternatives actually exist.

I'm not starting the 2026 thread, but the schedule is out...and...no Syracuse. Boo.

Yeah. Jeff Wilpon.

(I know who you are talking about, but Jeff Wilpon is also in that photo.)

Let's get back on topic. Screw BU! The Wilpons too!

Congratulations to Cornell on another fine season; it's been fun to (casually, and as you'll see below, not closely) follow the team and I hope they continue to improve.

The current tournament seems wide open--of the eight top seeds, only three (4 Maryland, 7 Georgetown, 8 Portland) remain.  You could lament Cornell not being part of it, but I gather we were missing some of our top players?

Quote from: Ken711 on November 08, 2025, 06:26:33 PMCornell's first 4 wins in a row streak since 1999....26 years ago.

Wow, that's so long ago that *I* was at Cornell back then.

I was going to post this article here, not surprised to see someone already diid. In a weird coincidence, two other schools are mentioned in the article as places that Syracuse applicants will attend instead: Penn State and Maryland.

Every time there is a new post in this thread and I see the words "Ben DeLuca fired", I think "again?"

Quote from: WederThere's another site selling championship gear (for a limited time), and the proceeds apparently go to the team.

Is there an issue with putting all seven letters in the university's name on a shirt?:-(

Maybe there is, Maybe it would make the $67.99 for long sleeved men's or women's T-shirt even more expensive.  ::thud::

2009 was...I don't want to say heartbreaking because I was a fan; I'm sure it was heartbreaking for the players and sad for the rest of us. 2022 didn't feel that way because Cornell never led in that game (well, they did lead 1-0, but I mean they didn't surrender a late lead.)  In both 2009 and 2022, I thought the team exceeded expectations so to even make the final both years (2022 even more so) was a huge accomplishment.

I say this all to point out that a lot of that disappointment has been erased because the team won in all in 2025!  Yes, guys like Max Seibald and Gavin Adler and many (or all, in the case of Seibald) of their teammates never got to be national champions.  2025 doesn't take that away for the players.  But it largely does for me as a fan.

How many years of NCAA eligibility does a player have? Ivy League doesn't allow grad students on teams but how can someone play anywhere as a grad student if he has already used four years somewhere else? I thought NCAA eligibility was four years, not five.

I am very late to this particular party (regarding the new Field House), but is the idea that the Field House will host lacrosse games? It would be cool to see early season games better attended, if the national championship can stir up more interest on campus. Does anyone know when it will open and what the seating capacity will be?
