Women's Season Stuff

Will you two shake the sand out of your KRACHs and end this pissing match.  ::drunk::

Geez, you'd think it was the off-season.  ::deadhorse::

Sadly, it kind of feels that way...

As an aside, I got the "joke". I just didn't think responding to a sexist joke when we were talking about the women's team was needed. Nuff said.

Uh-huh.  So explain to me what about that joke was sexist.  If you mean sexual, I'll enthusiastically support you.

So start the enthusiasm. Let's see it.

I'm not going to play this game with you.  You answer my question first, or concede the point.  Though the lack of a response makes my point just as well.

I didn't mean any game. What I meant by "So start the enthusiasm." was I agree with you, therefore start the enthusiasm. Nothing more than that.

In that case...

And people wonder why so few women visit this warm and inviting site.

Kyle, I can hear the gears whirring from here.  Don't even think about it.

As the instigator, I feel bad if I have helped foster a hostile environment on this board (seriously). But it is simply that I cannot resist a bad pun. But Bill must accept some responsibility for failing to properly capitalize an acronym. :-D

Did someone mention hot apple pie?

In hopes of putting the previous thread out of its misery:

Over the last 11 games the Cornell Women have allowed 3 goals. Opponents are shooting a meager 0.039 and Amanda Mazzotta has a Sub 1 GAA. How great is this? I know there is a greater breadth of competition in Womens Hockey but are there comparable seasons that other teams have had?

Thank you.

Why can't the women's team schedule more / tougher out-of-conference games?  Also, how sustainable is their success?  Are we winning due to a few key players?  Is this the beginning of a shift in power to the Ivies? (hah!)  Unlike the wrestling team we can't claim to have built a custom arena for the team.  Is the coach tapped into the pipeline for top echelon players?

$$$$$$$. The women's team doesn't bring in nearly the amount of income the mens team does, so I'd have to think the travel budget is far more limited.

OTOH, last year was the first winning season in a long time for the women. (ever?)  You have to demonstrate a consistent ability before the big girls will treat you as anything but a cupcake (no sexism intended),

Good to see one of the three teams from last year's March Weekends of Glory having a good season again.

For most of the decade, the Women were a mediocre to middling team. Even last year the first half of the season was so so. Something clicked about a year ago and the have been a serious force since then. (Anyone care to speculate?).

This years hockey schedule was probably largely set in stone before this team transformed itself and was reflective of the status quo. I would hope that next year we will see more competition with top 10 teams. Attendance seems to be improving and hopefully the travel budget will be available. A lot of the top teams are in the upper the upper mid west (Mn, ND, Wi). Just going by KRACH for this year, BU, BC, Northeastern, and Providence and of course Mercyhurst are a reasonable bus ride away.

Lets hope the team remains consistent and starts playing the other 5-8 elite schools in the regular season (and of course late in the post season)

Can't imagine Cornell ticket revenue being much different from any other women's hockey team, or women's sport, period, other than a couple elite basketball programs. Weren't there a bunch of empty seats at Minnesota last year for the title game, in a smallish rink?
