Greatest Cornell sports day ever?

[KeithK]

I actually kind of feel pretty bad for the students who need to try to keep up with all of this stuff on their spring break.

Huh? with ubiquitous internet it's trivial to keep up with it all.

Unbelievable Cornell weekend!

As for the latest vote in congress, that is another story.  Thanks for raining on my parade Pelosi!!!

I vehemently disagree with you. You try waking up one day to realize that something in your body has gone horribly wrong and facing the prospect that if you lose your job you can kiss any semblance of a "normal" life goodbye. Or maybe your kids could experience that. I live that life everyday and wonder why every other first world country has figured out how to eradicate that fear.

And thanks for inserting politics into a completely non-political thread.

Ah, let him have his joke. There's a grain of truth in every joke but take it in the intended spirit.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start smoking because I won't have to be worried about losing this insurance if I change jobs.

Sorry. Not today. Not with what has been accomplished. There was absolutely no place for that on this thread.

Let's Go Red!

I know, I shouldn't have gotten political.  I meant this as a joke and wasn't expecting any responses.  I had just read the news so it was right on my mind.  I actually do think we need changes.  

The reason I am so frustrated is because they put in so many things that I don't think will help (along with completely unrelated matters like school loans) without doing a lot of things that I think will.  With this bill and all of its special deals having passed, it will be much more difficult to make any changes or improvements in the near future.  

Now that I temporarily screwed up this thread, back to sports.

I think we have every right to be pissed off.

Cornell is getting some serious national attention, and then Tiger Woods decides to do an interview and a healthcare bill gets passed. Goodbye front page.

:-P

I know you are joking, but I actually did think it was a shame to open up espn.com and see Tiger Woods as the lead instead of a story from one of the great sports tournaments going on.

Yeah, but ESPN doesn't usually put college hockey on the front page...

I've been following Cornell sports since 1981, and no day even comes close to today.

Agreed (in all details).  This was the most amazing day Cornell has had since they became "mine," and that's probably true of all fans my age and younger unless they have some special ownership in another Cornell sport. What happened in the past belonged to older fans, and that's as incomparable as asking whether the '86 ECAC title was "better" than this past weekend's.  A meaningless comparison.

It was a good day, and it came within a couple bounces of being indescribably blissful, but still... it was a good, good day. :-)

In the afterglow of the entire amazing weekend, can anybody come up with an appropriate moniker for that?  Because we'll be talking about it for years, if not decades.  Weekend of Destiny?  Best Week Ever?  Red Dawn? The quad-sport Cornell Cavalcade of Conquest?

The Weekend.

March-gasm.

The Weekend.

Nice.

In my 38 years following Cornell Athletics, nothing has come remotely close to this weekend. Anyone with memories of Tony Coma would never have imagined it.
