"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

9-0 Union final.  Wow.

Quote from: stereax on March 05, 2026, 09:58:07 PMAlso, that brings Denver up to 7th in the NPI, somehow.

The more Penn State chokes the better for us.

I just saw a bracket prediction that had us playing Denver in first round in Colorado, where Michigan is No. 1 seed. Not a great draw if it pans out!

Aye, but that's got Denver at 8. If Denver is at 7 and we stay at 9, we draw PSU, the 1 seed, and the AHA autobid, and are presumably mobile.

Maybe.

If Denver is 7 and Duluth is 10, they can't play each other in the first round (same conference)  So they might swap us and Duluth and we still end up in Colorado.

Of course, they could always swap #10 Duluth and #11 Dartmouth (since Dartmouth can't play Q in the 1st round) and leave us in Albany to help attendance.

Who really knows how the committee thinks?

Sounds like an excellent recruit.  I was a little concerned that we were falling into the Sucks trap of saving two spots every year for friend of coach or progeny of NHL alum.  I have faith in Casey that we won't do that.

He has fallen off pretty hard since he was a high-ish end prospect in 2024, which is surely why BU decommitted him. Obviously there's potential here, but this is far from a surefire thing.

You also have to wonder if BU recruited him simply based on his name.

Quote from: stereax on March 01, 2026, 10:42:48 PMThey have to win the HEA playoffs to get in. If they get in, they'll be a 4 seed. If we stay at 9 (highest 3 seed), we're probably going to be vs Denver, probably one of the Michigans, and Bentley or whichever AHA team wants to be cannon fodder. (And if we're against Denver, it's almost certainly gonna be in Colorado.)

Not "almost certainly" - FYI - but it literally is a requirement that it will be.

Wait, for real? I thought it was something that wasn't like... required, but almost certain due to geographic stuff.

Nope.  If a team is the "host" they must be seeded in that regional...assuming they make the tournament, that is.

Quote from: DafatoneThere's a chance I'll have to be out of town on the regional weekend, so I am convinced we will wind up in Sioux Falls just to spite me.

Same for me if Albany.

Same! That weekend is the end of my son's spring break / family vacation and the start of baseball season. The Pirates open at Citi so I'm going to both weekend games already (but will miss Skenes).

How many times have we not been placed in Allentown?  Too many.

Allentown is an easy drive for me, so I agree!

The PPL Center is only 2 miles from me.  I'd be able to sleep in my own bed.

Quote from: Give My Regards on March 01, 2026, 12:34:05 PMQuinnipiac's four goals against Harvard last night put their ECAC total at 102.  Q becomes the first team with 100 goals in league play since St. Lawrence did it in the 1996-97 season.

Their 3rd Best Offense in the last 4 seasons.  However, order has been restored to the universe.

Can you easily display both side by side to see how many times a team has done both in the same season?

Eyeballing it, Cornell in the late 60's-1970 and 2002. Q recently, RPI mid 1980's, Harvard 1989.

I'd love to see that with notation on national titles won, since there's obvious correlation.

As... you... wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish.

An added gift: note the one man to achieve the double yet lose the NCAA title to another ECAC team.

Just curious. How did you decide which of the probably many logos that each school has used over the years appears in your website? I had not noticed before that you were using a Dartmouth Indian which has to be quite old. Did you recently start using that one?

I suspect it's the logo from the time Trots was in school, lmao. (Though by the mid-1970s, Dartmouth discontinued its use of the "Indians" brand, stating that "use of the (Indian) symbol in any form [was] inconsistent with present institutional and academic objectives of the College in advancing Native American education".)

Yeah, Dartmouth was the Big Green when I was in school.  The officially changed the name in 1974 (per Wiki).

Quote from: RichH on March 01, 2026, 05:57:09 PMTrust me when I say: let the band cater their repertoire, please. They know. A song you like might just be ruined if our band tries it out. The band isn't the same as a CD player, as we are finding out.

It's a WAYS back, but we/they tried a bunch of different & new arrangements, and I can tell you that Beastie Boys and The Offspring tend to sound terrible when arranged for (our talent level) of brass & winds. There have been a lot more misses than hits. I was surprised that "What's My Age Again" and "Light My Fire" did NOT work. Meanwhile hockey players were requesting more They Might Be Giants.

There were also songs that Athletics told them they couldn't play (e.g. a certain C-Lo Green song). Meanwhile Yale came in and played "Uncle Fucka." Whattya gonna do?

Somebody played the Ceelo Green song this weekend.  I thought it was us.

The fourth E is silent.

It may look like "Luxury Yacht" but it's pronounced "throat warbler mangrove".

Quote from: HpyGlmore2-05 on February 16, 2005, 08:58:31 PMEvery year during the last regular season home game, the "full" almamater is passed out and sung.  Does anyone know a link online, or where I can get the "full" version of the almamater?

Does the Cornell Anaphoric (?) Society still do this?

Pretty sure a printed version hasn't been distributed in at least fifteen years.

As it turns out, the lyrics were displayed on the giant video scoreboard, which was practical, even if it took away some of the challenge.

That felt like karaoke to me.

I had that last night at Lynah.  It wasn't half bad, but it might be one of the messiest things I've ever eaten.

Where the hell were you? I was looking around and couldn't spot you. Haha.

Norwegian friend made surprisingly little mess, all things considered. And is now going to get a second.

Just sent you a DM - Top row of G, seats 19 & 20 (my friend doesn't need the handicapped seats anymore).

That article is just sad.  Not to mention, it uses 100 paragraphs just to state the little bastards at Sucks are entitled brats.

I had a ChemE professor who taught me a lesson about grading that I remember to this day.  He would give quizzes every other week, with a max score of 10.  On one quiz, I dropped a sign during the calculation.  Everything answer after that point was wrong, even though my methodology was perfect. I got a 6 out of 10. After class I went up to him to argue for a better grade using the argument that I knew what I was doing and I did everything right, I just dropped the sign.  His answer?  "You do that in real life and your plant doesn't work." 

It's not about the grade.  It's about the result.

Thorpe?

Yes indeed.

My favorite Thorpe story was embarrassing.  I over studied for one of the prelims. We had old tests to look at and there was one question I studied yet studied but couldn't understand the solution.

That damn question was repeated on our test and I answered it correctly.  I received a good grade but felt like crap because I didn't understand that one effing question.

To this day I feel guilt.  Ray's long gone but his misplaced esteem for me that week still haunts.

I've got many Thorpe stories.  In all of them, he comes off as one of the most "human" of all my professors.
