ECAC Early Departures

Noah Bauld is headed to Goldman Sachs & Connor Murphy to Citibank.  Schafer & staff are recruiting not just good players, but good students.

And moral cripples.

I do think those sorts of jobs fresh out of college are a good way to learn how the system works and how to fix it, for those inclined to try to do so.

let me tell you ... that is almost never how it works.

i'm not even trying to be judgy here, i'm just telling you that the number of people who go in to law school interested in public interest work is a lot higher than the number that ever do. i'm going to walk away from the mirror now.

That's fair. As someone currently in law school as kind of a second career thing, one piece of advice I hear a lot is that if you want to do X, work for the people on the other side of X for a few years and then switch over.

Not sure that applies to public interest or doing actual good.

Trotsky, other than your work here, how are you helping humanity?  Leading the revolution?

Well, he does go by Trotsky after all...

I dunno.  How's your blood pressure?

In retrospect, perhaps a poor choice.

Nooooo! You shattered the nobility of the profession. Put those words back, sir.

You mean to say, perhaps: taking jobs away from deserving American lacrosse players. Good for them. Also, better those ill-gotten gains you decry are tithed to the Cornell Fund than the Harvard Corporation.

Granted, a couple wholesome Canadian boys will likely have more integrity than the output of the L.I. --> Rye Country Day School rapist conveyor belt.

Better hockey players than lacrosse players sucking off the vampire squid.  I'll give you that.

Come the Revolution it's the National Razor for all of us, so it hardly matters.

Apropos of Rye Country Day school, at a meeting of the Cornell Alumni Magazine board, I made a remark about how Cornell is now more worldly than in the old days when every second freshman seemed to hail from Rye Country Day School - there's something about the name that neatly rolls up all prep schools - and Rick Lipsey, the golf writer for Sports Illustrated (when it was still Sports Illustrated) sat up and said, "Hey! I went to Rye Country Day. ... not that your point isn't well taken."

BORED!! A guy from Toronto wants to be a Newfie, can't figure how to do it, goes to a doctor. The doctor says, "I'll have to remove one tenth of your brain to do that." Toronto guy says, "Do it!" Later the surgeon rushes into the recovery room and says to the patient, "Sir, I'm so sorry, we misread the instructions on your operation directions. Instead of removing one tenth of your brain we removed seven tenths. Do you understand?" The guy from Toronto looked up and said, "Qu'est que c'est?"

Rough thread to make an out-of-the-blue onanistic post. I know I'm anxious about any news about Captain Morgan, and seeing the "new" flag on here made my few nerves that are left jump.

I think it's time to worry about a season happening let alone worrying about the roster at this point in time. Let's pray there's a season and this shitstorm is behind us all before anything else. Personally, I think we are all fucked. That's just me tho. I've been wrong before, hopefully this is another example of it.

Edit: sorry for the drift from the thread.

That would be in Alumni News (inexact; cold).

(When there's a new post here I also have agita.)

(And we both just did it.)

Back on track. Protracted worrying about something you have no control over is the definition of "onanistic". Ask around.
