#1 placement notwithstanding, Buccigross is an idiot (and a horrible play-by-play man when he does hockey.)

What blackmail material does he have on management?

So what is Cornell's record against Top 5 teams?  Top 10? Top 20?

Look at the sample size and performance and you will understand Western Bias.

The reason you're not "getting the press you'd like" is because CHN - and that other place - have 60 teams to cover, and the season has only been, what, 15 weeks so far?

That said, Cornell is mentioned - most of the time prominently - in every weekend's roundup, which appear on the front page by every Sunday morning.

The other thing is, Cornell doesn't have any individual "stars" really, that would lend itself to the kinds of mid-week profile pieces we often run. My belief is that "everyone has a story" so I'm sure there are plenty of good ones, but some fall on your lap more than others, and others are necessary - like our recent Troy Terry piece, just as one example.

But it's OK - the "no respect" complaining is not unique to Cornell. :)

Would be difficult to "star" more than the freshman between the pipes:  lowest GAA in the division and tied for first in shutouts--playing seven fewer games than the other guy.

Angello is on a hell of a run too.

But, just as an FYI.
I only started this discussion with tongue firmly implanted in cheek.
Do I like to see Cornell get coverage? Sure. It's great for recruiting, if nothing else.
Do I expect the press to run something on our team every time one of our players farts?
Not hardly.

I'm an inveterate wise-ass who loves to poke the tiger.
Sometimes the tiger pokes back. Keeps it from getting boring.

Regardless,

Better for recruiting:

1. Financial aid packages
2. Alums in the N
3. Championships
4. Ahem

OK,....I will now, officially, stop whining. Maybe. Or, not.
Also, sending 6 figure check to the Financial Aid Dept.

Time for another Jamison.
