We still have the best fan base. We didn't equal the total, but were the largest (and the best).

That number is still a disgrace, given that it's the playoffs.  Those teams have terrible fans--good for them--but a packed Lynah is the best recruiting tool we have.  If you read the interviews with the players on the team, 100% of them list the crowd as one of the major reasons they chose Cornell.

3791, with a year like we had, is a disgrace? No, the best recruiting tool is a team that does well and a coaching staff that the players believe in. We can add to that, but without the rest forget it.

I'm surprised nobody here mentioned *what* the change was.

Watch the interview- they asked specifically what was the change that he was talking about, and he answered: it was the forecheck. He changed the forecheck to get more offense and it just didn't work out. He's going back.

God, the interview after his is brutal. So sorry for the seniors.

The attendance/noise was equally bad at the start of the year.

I still think that has more to do with the administration taking the teeth out of Lynah than team success (we were loud and not great in, say, the 90s, right?) or smartphones.  But there are a lot of factors, obviously.

Great reply on right on point. Do you believe that the program improve with Shafer as the coach or not. That is the criterion that matters, nothing else IMO.

RPI takes the only game 3 in this round. They'll be sticking around North Country some more next weekend.
