[quote Rich S]Marty,Thanks for the sarcastic response. As others here would say.."typical."

Had a couple of surgeries between early Nov and mid December (the 2nd was an emergency) and since then less time and energy has not allowed for posting here. The return has nothing to do with Clarkson's recently improved record. More focused on work!...Cheers![/quote]

So that was a hospital ID tag that you cut off your wrist. Somehow I had a vision of an ankle bracelet. Welcome back to the real world.

[quote jtwcornell91][quote JasonN95]No Cornell supporter I'm aware of does that on the Clarkson forum, although I admit my knowledge of that is not up-to-date since I stopped going there and trying to contribute when I got fed up with Goldie's absurd posts and vitriol for all things Cornell.[/quote]

Cornell Albany Alumni Bear is the person I remember doing that, but I haven't seen anything from him anywhere in quite some time.[/quote]

"The Chief" Albany Alumni Bear is alive and well and certainly has been sparse in this forum for months and months.

[quote Rich S]Jason,

Avoiding the Roundtable is your choice, no one there is chasing you away. If Goldie's posts upset you, they you're thin-skinned.

The stuff you guys direct at me here doesn't upset me but then, I'm a former goalie so not much does. :-D[/quote]

Too bad you couldn't afford a mask or helmet.

And if you're not stirring the pot, what are you here for? Are you posting something that you sincerely think will be interesting to Cornell hockey fans or college hockey fans? Pretty much all I ever see from you are "no I'm/we're not, you are!" posts.[/quote]

It appears that you have either selective memory or selective vision. I've posted many comments that SHOULD be of interest to other college hockey fans, notably Cornell fans. Hardly the stuff pot stirring is made of.

Seems to me that you view those who are not Red fans as unwelcome interlopers. That's unfortunate because as I said, I have no problem with others visting and posting on the Roundtable and never have.

Wrong again. In my time, I spent my share on a quality mask. Never thought I'd need it at Lynah as a fan though. ::screwy::

Marty,

When and if you're ever required to have emergency surgery, I sure hope you appreciate that it's no laughing matter.

That is, if you ever grow up. When you do, you'll be welcome in the "real world."

Rich S has been known to contribute genuinely insightful hockey commentary on this board. It generally happens when he's not being baited.

Todd White is still one of the best players I've ever seen at the college level. Back then, we didn't have any remotely legitimate Hobey contenders, so it was easier to recognize and appreciate a standout on another team.

Glad you're healthy, Rich.

Rich, it's nothing personal, but I think it's just you that they don't like.

Agreed. Todd White was indeed dominant.

Some of our surly behavior in '97 probably had to do with how thoroughly outplayed we were in both regular season games that year. I have never experienced another loss quite like losing to Clarkson at Lynah in February of 1997. Those Knights just inexorably marched to victory. Even when we opened the scoring, it didn't feel like a lead.

It probably felt a whole lot like losing to RPI in 1985, Harvard in 1986, Harvard and SLU from 1988–89, and us in 2002, 2003, and 2005. We were good, but they were just better.

At least, in the regular season...

Not to be cruel, but I think we could hear the sound of that 1997 Clarkson team choking all the way out in Grand Rapids. Colossal choke. That was the year in which, once and for all, Morris became "the coach that can't win the big one." I mean, even Vermont made the Frozen Four in 1996, and they were choke artistes...

I think I ended up being cruel. ::innocent::

Yes, he has said insightful things. But baited? Not always.

I'm not so sure I do. You ignore the times he doesn't say anything insightful and he isn't baited.

No, I don't. Please point out the part of my post where I claim to describe everything he ever says and all the circumstances under which he does or doesn't say it.

You need a little work on your contrapositives.

I got nothing to add to the pissing contests that sometimes occur here on the forum, but... when will we have an 'Ignore User' option on elynah? Or am I asking a bit too much? :-)

No one has proof he's a user.
