Quote from: stereaxGot an email blast from Coach Jones announcing the news.

Press release.

Here's Coach Jones's wording:

Now I've got some exciting news - In case you haven't heard, Mike Schafer will be inducted into the Cornell University Athletics Hall of Fame! Read the press release here. It's a huge honor for Mike and for the Men's Ice Hockey program. The Inductee Class of 2025 will celebrate on campus the weekend of November 21-22 while we are home versus Union and RPI.

One other key date to put on your calendars will be our Cornell Hockey reunion weekend which this year will be January 23/24 with Dartmouth and Harvard coming to town.  We will honor the '86 and '96 ECAC Championship teams that weekend.

So circle those dates

So no recognition at homecoming in two weeks?

Not for the Hall of Fame. They might do a different recognition at homecoming tho.

I was under the impression it was homecoming every year. Here's last year: https://cornellbigred.com/news/2024/7/29/general-cornell-athletics-elects-11-into-hall-of-fame-as-class-of-2024.aspx

Ah. Then no. This year it's November 22.

What?  Who the hell wants to come back to Ithaca in November?

Ithaca in November is pretty spectacular, actually.  Post grape-harvest and everyone is taking a breath. Leaves are at their crunchiest and the academic world is most studious.

QuoteThat weekend isn't even the Penn game any more either.

It should be, but Penn got too self-important and game-the-rankings to try to re-brand as the new Princeton or some-such and didn't want to associate with an Ag school anymore..  Eh, basically, fuck Penn.

You never know. My freshman year it snowed October 1st.

And May 1st, just to rub it in.

Quote from: TrotskyAI is a statistically-weighted revision of this.  It isn't intelligence.  It isn't consciousness.  It doesn't have the self-awareness of a bumble bee.  And it will never have any of these.  It isn't undeveloped cognition, it is utterly a zero value.  It's a probabilistic calculator.

It's a blank canvas for our anthroporphism.

To the extent these things are true of AI, they are also true of humans. What we call human ingenuity, self awareness, or consciousness is really just us regurgitating data, similar to what an AI does.

Your post is a common retort about the limits of AI, but I think it's cope about a lack of human exceptionalism. Whatever limitations AI has now, it probably won't have them in 5-10 years (or sooner).

Or, the AI bubble bursts because the majority of implementations add no value to businesses/users and the environmental/energy costs vastly outweigh the useful utility.  

Eventually, either AI is gonna have to be helpful or it will stop being such a huge sector of the economy.

Quote from: TrotskyI discovered long range AM by growing up a Mariners fan on Long Island in the mid-late 70s.  

Wow, they were NOT good at all back then. And I'll bet you didn't have much company rooting for the Ms on Long Island.

it's ok he was able to enjoy baseball by rooting for the mets as well *touches earpiece*

TBH the Mariners have been the perfect pairing with the Mets.

This is why I will never, ever, ever be down on Cornell hockey.  "Fire?  I was born of this."

The Mets can't kill me because I'm already dead.

Quote from: hypotenuseAn interesting project. As a 1973(!) graduate, I feel that like a game of telephone, or that Star Trek episode with the Coms and the Yangs, some of the cheers have become garbled over the decades. The one I miss most is the cheer after we score, which went ONE! WE WANT MORE, hopefully followed by ONE! TWO! WE WANT MORE,, etc. This was done slowly and deliberately, so the full impact of our scoring prowess could be absorbed by our adversary.
Over the last decade(?), the words are said,  but without any understanding why, IMHO.
As for RED, I always thought we stole it from someone else, maybe Colgate. It was not done during my era.

One funny anecdote. At the first game at MSG on Thanksgiving weekend, maybe 10 or so years ago. The Garden had some guy on hand to sing the Star Spangled Banner. No one had bothered to tell him about our little tradition, and so when he got to rockets red glare, and the place erupted with RED, he literally stopped for several beats while he tried to figure out WTF. A highlight of the evening.

I remember that first MSG game well.  It was 2007.  They had a famous trumpeter from one of the late night TV shows play the national anthem standing on a carpet out on the ice. He almost dropped his horn when we screamed "RED".

We've spooked quite a few singers at Lake Placid, too.

Nebraskans did not appreciate it at UNO in 2012 or so.

Quote from: scoop85The NCAA passed a welcome new rule making placing a hand on an opponent's face mask only a minor penalty; we saw the previous ridiculous rule resulting in a 5 minute major last year in the NCAAs when Walsh face washed a BU kid.

The same thing happened to Kovich even a few months before at Princeton and that resulted in a goal against. Strange to have it called twice in a season

If I remember, the Princeton announcers commented on how they'd seen that call a lot this season.

Quote from: TrotskyGrady is outstanding.

"No doubt about it"

No question about it.

I just realized that this also means the end of our favorite local ads.

Pour one out for the East Hill Car Wash jingle.

Aw.

RIP Hot Truck. Might just be the best thing I've ever tasted.

I can't let that go without asking what your favorite was.  For me it was the Sui.

1. PMP
2. WGC
3. Sui

I believe a Sep Pep was a WGC with pepperoni and mushrooms. Good stuff.

this is because you were drunk but that doesn't make it wrong as a sense memory

A few years after graduating, I was back for Homecoming, and a friend and I went to Hot Truck with the mindset that it wouldn't be quite as good as we remembered.

It was better. And I think we were even sober.

But even that was 15 years ago (yikes), so who knows, really.

Funky Chicken, which had BBQ chips on it. But there were no wrong choices there.

As always (or at least since Augustana joined D1 hockey a couple years ago), I'm hoping for a surprise trip to Sioux Falls for Cornell.

Quote from: stereaxPress release here.

Recently retired Cornell men's hockey head coach Mike Schafer '86 will captain Team Big Red while Matt Hedge '07, vice president and senior wealth advisor for Tompkins Financial Advisors, will captain Team Racker.

Casey Jones '90, the current Jay R. Bloom '77 Head Coach of Cornell Men's Hockey, will participate in the exhibition game, along with former Cornell players Pete Shier '78, Jeremy Downs '05, Matt Hedge '07, Cornell hockey fan favorite Topher Scott '08, and Tim Rego '25 are slated to suit up in the contest. Current assistant coach Chris Brown, equipment manager Sean Schmidt, and rising junior forward Jake Kraft and rising sophomore forward Charlie Major are also scheduled to participate.

I was '07. What in the world is a Matt Hedge?

He played club for 3 years and was a local kid. Marv McLeod and he were called up to varsity for 2006-2007 because of the short roster. I think O'Byrne, Pokulok, and a few others went pro. Matt never played but you probably ran into him at Dunbar's.

That explains why I don't remember him.

Quote from: ursusminorWhen I read this thread early this morning, I did not at first realize this thread was from 2004, before a lot of the current players were born. I read the first post and wondered why someone stated that Schafer was resigning and not retiring. Can someone fill me in on what happened back then? Since I am an RPI alum, I do not recall. Perhaps he resigned his membership from Amazon Prime. :-D

If you want to feel really old... this thread was started before I was born, I just checked on my laptop ::asshole::

Cmon I thought we were cool. Is this because I still owe you for the towel?

1:08 left. Cornell ball. Last time out taken.

I didn't think that was a ward by Big Hugh. He hit him with his shoulder, not arm.

Less of a ward than the no call on Maryland.

I say, having learned what a ward is an hour ago.
