Totally random, but I once heard an inspirational speaker (Albert Long) who lettered in 4 sports at UNC: Track, Baseball, Basketball, and Football.  Of course, he graduated in 1955, but that's still pretty crazy.

The guy couldn't score from second on a double.  Sometimes the truth hurts...

Well, Harry Orr did play hockey and lacrosse under Harkness. The results weren't too shabby.

Maybe the solution would have been for Mike to take over coaching baseball in addition to hockey.

I teach skiing part-time with a guy named Joe Bartlett who is in the UNH hall of fame for lettering in three sports.  Of course, part of the reason he is in the hall of fame is because he was the last athlete to do this at UNH and it was in the 70's.  He played with Dick Umile when hockey first became a varsity sport there.  I think he played football and baseball, too, but I can't remember which other sports for sure.

Knowing him, I can see how Joe had the talent to do this.  He didn't learn skiing until he was in his 40's, yet he is very good.  He also perenially vies for the club championship at a couple of local courses.

Sure if the result wanted was a high level of dysfunction and under-achievement Mike is definitely the answer.

dysfunction and under-achievement being defined as: multiple conferance championships, several NCAA appearances, and generally being the most successful ECAC team over the last 7 years?

To be fair, with the talent he has had, Schafer should have an 2 NCAA titles, a Stanley Cup and the Congressional Medal of Freedom.

Presidential Medal of Freedom. :-P

Just because Mike turned you down when you asked him to the prom is no reason for such nastiness. We've been through this before with transgendered nuns, no less.  Your problems can be handled with some long talks

The Answer

or if you are the underachiever that I believe you can try some of these

Get Happy

Sorry but I can't help with specific "Happy" recommendations.

Well, look...I wish him luck and will root for his continued (individual) success.  He obviously knows what he wants to do, has demonstrated skill at these things, and wasn't afforded the opportunity to be able to continue to do so at Cornell.  Good for him for seeking out a place that he can persue all of his goals.

IIRC, Kirk McCaskill was an All-American hockey player at UVM, and then went on for a lengthy Major League Baseball career.
