Cornell Hospitality

Based on what I know they'll likely already be in Ithaca come Friday morning. Still - at that pt in time they should be left alone - not that the thought hasn't crossed anyone's mind in the past. Typically ECAC teams (and most others I think) don't travel on game day. Coaches want to prevent cramped legs and lost sleep due to travel, etc. on game day.:-)

Yeah, I should have figured something like that.  Still, you got what I meant. :-D

The easiest way for me to see this is that if the team can shake hands at the end of the game, and start thinking about the next game, then we ought to be able to as well. So forget any nonsense, as others have said, and enjoy the win, while saying good-bye to HA+RVA+(D). After all they never get a D.

Does anyone at Cornell even get D's anymore?  ;-)

[DeltaOne81]

In engineering, at least, yes :-)

Though not particularly often.

My transcript has 1 D::help:: , 5 B's and 11 A's. SH_T happens, and they give D's.  ::nut::

I'm glad everyone now understands that my suggestion was only a joke.  I'm from Chicago and when the Bulls and Jazz were playing, some Jazz fans gave a similar wake-up outside the hotel in Utah.  But this should be a good contest and they'll probably need hot-tubs to soak after we administer a beating.  Secondly, Moore is from a wealthy toronto suburb, maybe a tough guy on the ice but a suburb kid all the way.  We'll see what happens when Douggie draws a bead on him.

Believe it or not, they give D's in Arts classes too.  Even F's.  They go to the same people who get D's and F's in Engineering (the absent and the unlucky).

I tried to give an F to a member of the Stanford gymnastics team once, but that's another story.  And Bonni "taught" Joey Harrington a few years ago in her US history survey.  Suffice to say he is not the, uh, tightest spiral.

I win -  3 D's and an F even. (The F was in grad school no less.)

To be fair, 2 of the D were in Honors Organic Chem and Analytical Chem my first semester at Cornell when my insane roommate hated me and my girlfriend had just dumped me. The third D came when I missed my final in physics and got 0 points. The F came when I got really sick while taking Scanning Electron Microscopy at the Vet School and I took an incomplete instead of just dropping it. I then got really sick *again* and wasn't able to meet the extension deadline so the prof gave me an F.

So yes, they still give D's and F's at Cornell. And yes, I do have an excuse for everything.

Well, I still have the end of this semester and all of next semester to win this competition, although if I do, I'll have a few more semesters to think about why I did such a thing.  ::nut::

[JohnnyB]

D in second semester physics.  I have never been so happy to see a D in my life.  Physics is EVIL

If anyone knows somebody that studies chaos theory, may I suggest eLF thread topics? How giving Hahvahd (sucks) a wakeup call could turn into a discussion on our less than stellar academic performances is truly amazing :-).

It just proves how overcompetitive cornellians are. Adam threw down the gauntlet, thus forcing me to prove that I could slack better than him....  ::nut::  

Capt. Procrastinator exits stage left...

They give Ds in the hotel school....but, no 'twas not I.

[Give My Regards]

No surprise about Joey Harrington, but hey, I'd trade transcripts straight up with him if we could also trade salaries...
