Quote from: Trotsky on June 12, 2026, 11:42:01 PMI'm fine with the 5 years -- it's defensible. I want the Ivies to drop their performative nonsense and adopt everybody else's rules.  The brand will survive.

I'm curious how many of our athletes can afford a fifth season anyway?  In past conversations a couple impacted by COVID said they would have loved to finish at Cornell but couldn't afford to so they transferred.

They weren't allowed to stay.

Didn't Andreev get a special waiver to stay?  I believe the guys I spoke to didn't pursue a waiver because of the cost of another year at Cornell

There was a lot going on. A guy like Galajda wanted to stay, but the Ivies dragged their feet on whether to allow players who missed the whole season, an additional year of eligibility. Before the Ivies could make up their mind, Galajda left. Andreev was given that extra year eventually somehow -- trying to jog the memory banks. I think it was only if 2020-21 would've been their senior year. But then someone like Jack Malone, who also missed a full year (his sophomore year), was not allowed an extra year of eligibility, so wound up playing his "5th year" (really 4th) at Boston College.

Those are two of the guys we have stayed in touch with!

Quote from: VIEWfromK on August 12, 2026, 01:33:04 PMSo is the Holy Cross game instead of an additional scrimmage/exhibition game?  They usually have two of these types of games heading into a season. 

We have an exhibition v Waterloo and a scrimmage within the team the week after. Ivies got an extra game this year.

I believe two years ago they played Princeton in a scrimmage instead of Red/White.  They typically play two scrimmage/exhibition games against an opponent before the season instead of one.  I started looking back at the recent schedules and that's been the case for at least back to the pandemic.  They didn't list the Princeton scrimmage on the schedule from Syer's first season but I know it was part of the ticket package.  Right?  I just wondered why this year was different and if it was because of the extra regular season game?

Quote from: stereax on August 02, 2026, 02:19:11 AMI swear I thought it was 1st and 2nd and not 2nd and 3rd. Well.

I'm sure the flight tips will be useful anyway 😂

fwiw I recommend the UA itinerary but I am also a Star Alliance loser 💜

What airline do you recommend for an Albany to New Orleans trip in planning?
🤔

My preferred airline out of Syracuse is American but Delta is probably the best of the major US carriers

We were at a restaurant in Alexandria Bay today and they had a signed Colin Greening Sens jersey hanging on the wall next to a Clarke MacArthur signed Leafs jersey and a signed Zach Bogosian Jets jersey.  Nice touch.

Quote from: Trotsky on July 28, 2026, 02:43:03 PMUse IAD for NoVa.

Use BWI for DC.

Use DCA if you are a bribe for Dump (parcel or underage woman).

Thanks for the laugh. BWI is for Baltimore. As you know, I live in DC. It takes longer to drive between DC and BWI than to fly from there to say LGA. That doesn't count the time to get from a distant parking garage at BWI to a terminal.

IAD has improved since the Metro Silver Line was completed, although it also takes ages between the terminal and the Metro station. Even with its faults, I will still use DCA.

DCA is really nice since they did away with having to take busses out to a waiting airplane.  They have made a lot of terminal improvements in recent years as well.

Jacob MacDonald signs two way with Washington.  Hopefully he is fully back from the injury that wiped out most of last season

Travis Mitchell also headed to the Ducks but his deal is a two way

Quote from: stereax on July 01, 2026, 03:28:42 PMJeff Malott is going to the Ducks.

3 years, 1.85M AAV, apparently.

Is it a two way deal or NHL deal?  The Ducks lost Jeff Viel today so Malott should be able to step right into that role.

Has anyone heard if there is a Racker or Alumni game this summer?  All of my Internet searches just talk about last year's game.  Thanks

Quote from: stereax on June 18, 2026, 02:33:47 PMBU at Lynah Dec 4 confirmed.

Wrong link  Did you mean this one?

Cool.  Maybe I'll try to drag the fam down for that one, since Union for senior night doesn't sound that exciting.

I don't know about anyone else but I don't go to the games to watch the opponent play.  Senior night is special regardless of the opponent or result for that matter.  Come to all of the games!!

(But if you only plan to come to one BU should be a good one!)

When was the last time the final games before winter break were non conference?  Those are usually ECAC games that first weekend in December.

Quote from: BearLover on May 28, 2026, 12:58:09 AM3 players hit 100 points in the 2009-10 season (Greening, Gallagher, R. Nash). And nobody has since.

Greg Miller finished his career with 98.  A rough freshman season cost him the milestone
