The  Big Apple game not being in primetime kinda sucks after selling so many tickets promoting it as such.

on the flip side Jersey mikes opened downtown

the new guy bought it a yr or so and ran it into the ground

My experience with college town is more like late 80s thru 2000.  I dont recall wall to wall Italian and Chinese .  When was that?

There were several pizza places, a bunch of bars. Slouvlaki and Greek house.  Nines,  Chariot, Little Joes for a bit was Italian.   A  couple small eateries across from the parking Garage.  Then the bars, some of which sold food.

On a side note  Jimmy Johns closed downtown

I guess I forgot that a Cornell kid invented Big league chew

Watching the Agency last night they referenced a kid with a Cornell Degree thats gonna ba a bad guy.

wonder how many other universities had data stolen in the canvas hack.

i saw video. never really saw a foot get rolled over.

reverse this.

You are person going to your car and a group of random people start following and yelling and recording you hitting your car and block you from leaving easily.. You slowly trying to get away for safety?

I do wonder why no campus police were with him to get him out of there.

Best thing about the west stands were those evening game on occasion where you didnt have to stare into the setting sun all game.

so it looks like we play Harvard the next 2 games no matter what happens. one chance we play the at home and two ways we play them on the road.

I wonder when the flip to making money on sports became a thing.

I know if you go back into the 1920-30-40 or whatever, costs were vastly different but schools didnt derive tons of money from sports to fund other sports.  I dont recall much talk about it in the 70s-80s either. Its when TV suddenly kicked in that it started to lead to all this spending and huge budgets.

the only way college sports work is if there is some idea of balance in the chance to compete.  Capping in NIL is a start.

That just pushes it back onto the shadows though

I would argue Brian Hayword had a pretty good NHL career.

He set the Jets franchise record for season wins, he played behind Roy when they won the award for fewest goals. He won the first ever game for the Sharks franchise.

Not bad for an undrafted guy, played about 10 yrs. Played about 25-30 games or more eight times. Won 20 games three times. 

the max contract two way deal is 850k-950 with 10% bonus.  Its not like there is much difference.  The big deal is that he signed a 3 yr deal so the team can spread it out for 3 yrs to sweeten the pot.

Isnt his 3 yr rights done this year?

He can't get redrafted. If he plays another year at Cornell, he'd be a college free agent. Different thing.

And they changed the rules - now, when you start the NCAA, you get 4 years to finish your degree. Pretty sure this is retroactive too. If you expedite it and finish in 3, like Wiebe is doing, then you get 3 years. After you finish, you have 30 days to negotiate with your draft club - if you don't figure it out by then, you become a free agent.

From what I've heard, he's going to finish his degree either way. Wouldn't be surprised if he finishes the credits for it over the summer.

thats the issue, if he gets his degree in 3 yrs he cant comeback to cornell anyway.
