Do again, please.

2-0 in 2026; don't change the luck.

Maybe without quite so much drama this time?

But fuck it, I'll take any win.

I want to watch:

+ College Hockey
+ MLB
+ F1
+ World Cup
+ Olympics
+ WJC

I do not particularly care about anything else.

What do?

Schedule.

In honor of our Green Skeptics.

This is great: https://www.hockeyshare.com/free-drills/

Because 2025 can't end fast enough.  What a kidney stone of a calendar year.  Let's Go Red!

One last chance for a palate cleanser before la petit mort.  Let's Go Red!

Intended to be a continuing thread discussing whom to root for in conference games going forward (conference winning percentage in parens).

I start with just hoping for upsets in all games other than us.  Regress everybody below us towards .490ish til we reach our highest ground.

Friday 12/5:

Cornell .833 > @ Clarkson .167
@ St. Lawrence .167 > Colgate .500
Brown .389 > @ Dartmouth 1.000
Yale .500 > @ Harvard .750
@ RPI .333 > Quinnipiac .667
@ Union .444 > Princeton .583

Saturday 12/6:

Cornell .833 > @ St. Lawrence .167
@ Clarkson .167 > Colgate .500
Yale .500 > @ Dartmouth 1.000
Brown .389 > @ Harvard .750
@ Union .444 > Quinnipiac .667
@ RPI .333 > Princeton .583

Stay out of the box.

Just.  Win.

After the Brown win we are 6 in NPI with, and I swear I am not making this up, 9 in SOS, I believe entirely on the strength of having played the NPI #1 Dartmouth (cf. Colgate at 7 in SOS).  My ignorant guess is once Dartmouth loses a few we will dip into the mid teens if we keep up our rate of play and beat the teams we ought.

Here we start a slate of league games where we need to PacMan up the derp points, 3 at a time.

11/14 Brown
11/15 Yale
11/21 Union
11/22 RPI
Do not fuck around.  Win by 11 or win by 1, but run the table in regulation.

Just.   Win.  Narrator: They did.

Cornell continues its slide down the razor blade of American aesthetic and cultural enshittification.

Missing any?  I would also include chess, debate, robotics, eSports, and that shit.

Team NC$$ championships only please; not individual swimmers, wrestlers, gymnasts, etc.

New year, new thread.

When Schafer took the helm he famously declared three aims:

1. Fill Lynah
2. Beat Harvard
3. Win the ECACs

Within one season he had achieved them all, then went on to repeat each many times.

In that spirit, here are my aims for the Casey Jones Era, whether that is 5 years or 25:

1. Fill Lynah.  Our discriminator is our crowd.  It all begins there.  This also means the AD encouraging the students and not getting in their way.  Don't overwhelm them with loud piped in garbage and ads and gimmickry.  This is Cornell.  The fans lead the rink, the band supports.  The administration's job is to clear obstacles and allow the fans to intimidate the visitor while amusing themselves.

2. Beat Quinnipiac. Harvard, for all their bullshit, is still an academic institution.  Q is everything wrong with the last 50 years: commerce without standards and aggressive enshittification.  In a just world we drive Q into the sea and they finish behind Brown every year.  Well, if you aint up on things, it is not a just world. So we need to do ourselves and the free world a favor and destroy these punks whenever possible.  Sic semper numbskullus.

3. Win a National Championship.  It's just a jump to the left.  We have climbed the mountain so often, and we have seen RPI, Harvard, Yale, Union, and Q get there.  There is no reason that Cornell can't win it all.  So, win it all.

I'll start.
