I agree that something MUST be done.  You start.  Tear up your hockey tickets and demand to have your name removed from the season ticket list.

That sounds like using mouthwash after a midnight meal of week-old thai food.

The Hockey Line

That's what it was called.  T Shirts memorialized it.   It was one of the earliest forerunners of what came to be called "The Lynah Faithful."

That's what it should be called again.

"The Great Wait"  sounds like what an aspiring ad agency summer intern might run up the flagpole at the morning meeting.

Quote from: stereax on September 15, 2026, 04:10:52 PMRelatedly, why do we only do the red at hockey and lacrosse games? Why not at basketball, soccer, etc?

What is this "basketball" and "soccer" you speak of?

It seems to me there is at least the possibility that the 5 for 5 won't be so bad for us. The roster spots on non ivy teams will fill. The talent is plentiful and  will distribute as it always has. 

Ivies need to promote the value of the degree and the network. Then treat the available 5th year as a bonus - an opportunity to get a different lacrosse experience. A choice of sorts, to play another year someplace new or move on to professional school or life in general.

NIL and other dollars is the bigger threat.

Are we switching to UnderArmor this year? I like the real laces.

He crushes a guy at 1:35 of the 2nd link then chirps him on the way back up ice. Love the enthusiasm.

That was beautiful, man. 

Can we get 5 seasons out of a player by lightening the credit hour load?

Syracuse roster has 22 of 45.  Aside from Spalinas(who might qualify as "rich kids" considering possible Gait Co NIL money) it is hardly "mostly" and probably reflective of the applicant pool of each school.

Quote from: stereax on May 18, 2026, 06:51:02 AMIn only somewhat related news, I've got FloHockey 24 on while I'm writing my fuckass final papers. It's not going well. Anyway, they're playing the same 3 or 4 games over and over again - a Maine Mariners one, the SPHL final with the Peoria Rivermen, the Charlotte Checkers' 8-spot versus Springfield, then there's a program where they talk about the '26 NHL draft and do a terrible mock of it... And there's also a fight compilation.

Guess whose name I alerted to, then rolled back to take a good look at my TV screen where he was busy jumping on someone twice his size in a scrum.

There's only one answer here.

Is he good at hockey?

Mmm, he's pretty solid at hockey, but he's no Caton Ryan.

Hint: ECHL game.

FFJOB?

I thought that they stole their name from Clarkson.

You're right Ralph.  Army is the BLACK knights.

Quote from: Al DeFlorio on April 26, 2026, 02:05:42 PMNot sure what's more of an embarrassment:  Having no west stands, or having those.

Most embarrassing: no bathrooms for the High Point game. I had to tell some HP fans/parents that they had to use the outhouse.

I do love the look of handrail rust drip on the Crescent on live TV.

Attention CUAA:  THERE'S a naming opportunity.  The Benjamin Moore Stadium Facing.

@ Al D. and Marty:
There were quite a few football guys on those Harkness teams. I mostly remember Ned's first team in 1966. There was Reeve (Ting) Vanneman now a professor at the University of Maryland.  He was a tackle in football, also famous for being one of the guys who attempted to block Princeton's Charlie Gogolak field goals by standing alongside another tackle,  both with defensive backs (Dale Witwer and Jim Dockerty) standing on their shoulders.  Doug Zirkle was a bear of a midfielder (think Hugh Kelleher only bigger) who was a tight end in football and the cocaptain on the 1966 lacrosse team.  Both, I think were All- Ivy in both sports.  Midfielder Bob Smith was a wide receiver in football.  Bill Finan, Jerry Dolan and I were just trying to avoid football's spring V-Program. V stood for voluntary, but it wasn't voluntary.  No real football then, just running and conditioning.  The only way out was to be in a spring sport, so...

Also, Harry Orr (Fan Favorite Harry Orr) was a great defenseman and key guy on Ned's hockey teams, so I don't buy the story that Ned threatened him if he didn't play lacrosse.

Voted.  No NCAA championship determined by tournament.

Also,  Harry Orr broke a goalie's ankle with that shot.  Dartmouth I think, on what was then lower alumni field.
