Ok...I really didn't see that one coming. B-]

I'm guessing you're too young to remember giving Jack Sanford to the Giants for Ruben Gomez and Valmy Thomas. ::screwy::[/quote]

Yeah, got to admit I've never heard of any of them.  

My first really bad Phillies trade was the 5 for 1 (Von Hayes) deal.  But that's only because I was more into other sports than baseball, and I didn't really become a fan of Philadelphia teams until I got to Cornell.

Yep.  McCarver used to talk about it ad nauseum, when he wasn't bitching about playing the outfield too deep or pitchers wearing jackets on the basepaths.

Didn't Viola throw a no-hitter and Darling have a shut out broken up in extra innings, or something like that?

Edit: I didn't think it was a CWS game, though.  I figured it was an ECAC game.  Or maybe it was the CWS tourney, but a regional.

[quote dford'94]Does anyone think that Shaun Hannah would have a chance for the Yale job?  Coming off the best season in Sacred Heart history he has now been there 10 years and has taken a team with little or no tradition and made them competitive.  Beat RPI and Brown this year and played Dartmouth down to the wire losing 4-2.  I have always liked Shaun and maybe that is because he always played so hard on some really bad Cornell teams while I was in school.[/quote]

I would think he should be considered.  He's really full of heart.  But maybe the Schafer, Gaudet and now Donato successes are an indicator of how much it helps to have the coach be able to tell the recruit's parents, "I went to this school, and I can tell you, your son is going to get good hockey experience, but he's going to get a GREAT education."

Where it = anything and everything.

It was a regional game of the 1981 CWS.  Scoreless going into the 12th and Darling hadn't allowed a hit to that point.  Darling gave up a bloop single and lost the game when the runner (who had already stolen second and third) swiped home on a delayed double steal.

Nice idea, but Shaun's career record is under .500 (143-151-27) and he's had a while to turn the program around.  I don't see it, but I hope I'm wrong.  Check out Mercyhurst's coach Rich Gotkin (338-198-33, 18th season).  He's been there forever!!

Not to be a Hannah groupie or anything but this is a program that has only been D1 since 93-94 and prior to Shaun getting there they were 25-40-2 in four seasons with nothing close to a winning season.  He has had six winning seasons there and knows the Ivy League and what recruiting there means.  How about him at Yale and Casey Jones at RPI???  Both schools could do A LOT worse than them.

Looks like SH has been relatively mediocre - mostly around ro below .500 - until this year.  Hopefully Hannah can build on this year's success.  But I think I'd be hesitant to give him a "promotion" just yet.  Even if he is a Cornell guy.

In an interesting twist, Tim Taylor has become a volunteer assistant coach at UNH.

That certainly is interesting.

Umile and Taylor...two very different personalities.

2000-01 shoulda been 13-13-5. :-/[/quote]OK, then we should have hung a couple of NCAA Champion banner over the last few years.  What's your point? :-P
