Ehhhhhhhhhhh, I wouldn't call recruiting a 6'5"/233 goaltender wedging a fat kid in net (well, I would, if I were employing a dry sense of humor I guess?). I believe Baby was about 225 at the same height and he was definitely long and lean and could have put on 15-20 lbs. and still been unfat. Semi-related, I'm realizing I need to start watching and learning more about more recent Cornell players in order to bring my frame of reference more up to date...

Good guess!  A game program from his senior year lists Baby at 6'5", 235 lbs., outweighed only by his co-captain chubster, the 6'4", 240 lb. Doug Murray.

Given their proximity and the events of 2012, I guess we have to put QU and YU as one of the hottest rivalries now, regardless of Yale's opinion.

From http://www.courant.com/sports/hc-jacobs-col-1107-20131106,0,3160416.column

A quick glance at StubHub shows tickets for the rematch of the 2013 national hockey championship between No. 9 Yale and No. 5 Quinnipiac Saturday night at TD Bank Sports Center are running from $150 to $200 for the best seats. Even general admission is going for $50. Contrast this to a few football tickets between No. 20 Louisville-UConn at Rentschler Field Friday night going for as little as $2 on StubHub and a whole bunch more are going for $5 to $12.

"I'm hearing rumors about how much they're going for online. There are some college kids who got their tickets and are making some pretty good money. I was told we hold 1,000 tickets for students for that game. They went on sale and they had 3,000 hits in four minutes and crashed the system."

I would like to point out to the writer that "seeing a price on StubHub" and "actually being sold at that price" are two completely different things. Anyway, I'm guessing those 1,000 student tickets are free, so the kids are making a buck regardless of the price.

I recall eBay listings and offers in front of Lynah for Harvard @ Cornell games breaking $100 in the late-90s and early-00s. Didn't we even get familiar with the NYS scalping laws on this board in that era?

Fine, let's talk light.

If you think Anas is light at 150 — and he could be the lightest to actually play Division I this season — Pecknold says you should have seen him when he recruited him as a senior in high school.  "Maybe, 140 pounds," said Pecknold, pausing. "I might be high. You better ask him. I know he wasn't highly recruited because of his size." "Senior year, high school?" Anas said. "Oh, 130 pounds. I tried not to let that faze me."

And the postscript quotes a tweet from Anas:

Nov. 2: "Despite what Cornell cheering section was saying my last name isn't pronounced anus. #classicmixup."

So what they're saying is he's 150 at 5'8" (sigh, I remember when I weighed that...), which really means he's 150 at 5'5".

Doesn't "mixup" imply that the Cornell fans thought it was pronounced that way but were wrong, rather than the more likely explanation that they just didn't care?

I think his tweet reveals that he has a sense of humor. Not every player on every opposing team is a dumbass.

I believe it's pronounced Doo-MAH.

Kasdorf played in RPI's first two games this season, going 1-1 with a 3.49 GAA, a .786 save percentage and one shutout. The Engineers will apply a medical redshirt for Kasdorf, which will mean he still has three years of college eligibility.

Seth really thinks this Winnipeg Jets future ace is going to spend 5 years in Troy?!?

Au contraire.  Many retain their leaves until late fall.
