Quote from: BearLoverIf tonight's results hold, Princeton will have a higher PWR than Cornell. Wonder why we didn't just hand the program over to Syer.

I honestly thought the same thing after he left for Princeton. Hope I'm wrong, but think we messed up on that. And before u come branding your pitch forks, I'm sure mikes retirement had been brought up between the two long before this season. Unless Mike saw something he didn't like or didn't think he had what it takes to do the job, I don't get it.
That's the only explanation. It's still early obviously, but it's looking like a massive miscalculation.

It's possible that Ben didn't want the job.

Exactly.
Unless you have some inside information, this seems wildly unlikely. Ben and his wife both worked for Cornell, his daughters went to school here. His hockey team had amazing success with the players HE recruited. Why would he uproot all of that to instead coach a perennial doormat?

I'd rather date Rosie O'Donnell over Heidi Klum as well.

Well, if we're placing orders I'd prefer Gal Gadot.

Quote from: BearLoverThis Cornell team just doesn't have it. They suck. It's hard to explain.

It's obvious the coach has given up on them just like some others.  Turn off the game BL.  See you next year.

The irony of bumping when Princeton is, in fact, 9 spots behind Cornell in NPI.
