Season's Over

My honest, no-joke, opinion is that a banner acknowledging that we finished The Season of The Plague in #1 in the polls is a reasonable hearkening back to the pre-playoffs college football era. This year's teams - men's and women's - deserve to be remembered, even if it's just a second accolade on the ECAC regular season championship banners.

Maybe just a banner with our record. Don't claim a championship or a title or a ranking. Just the record.

It's too good a year to not be honored at all.

All this banner nonsense has nothing to do with the team themselves.  It's about your butthurt feelings from losing out on the chance to watch and possibly experience *your* dreams of celebrating a winner. You want a banner to make you feel better.

Next time someone bumps into one of the coaches or one of the players, ask them what they think and report back what you find out. I can't believe any of them want a banner.

P.s.  while you're at it, how about agitating for banners or whatever for the wrestlers that had a great chance of hitting the All American mark.

So much vitriol from you, man. You have no idea what we want, what the players want, what anyone other than you wants. The team just played one of the best seasons in program history and some of us think it should be commemorated in some way. I'd think many of the players and coaches would agree. And "butthurt"? Did the governor in your state shut down your elementary school yet?

Hmmm. Looks like I git it right.

"Wearing a 2020 Detroit Frozen Four sweater — "this is where we should be right now," Schafer said — the coach put fans' calls to hang a national championship banner at Lynah Rink to rest on Thursday.

"That would cheapen it," Schafer said. "It's not a national championship. ... We'll honor this group of guys somehow inside Lynah Rink."

Again, just have one saying "2020".  People can make of it what they want; it can even go beyond hockey, and just be a memorial to the outbreak too.

Huh. You posted the entire last section of the article but not the title to the section: "No, Cornell isn't going to hang a national championship banner."

Nor did you closely read the text of that section: "the coach put fans' calls to hang a national championship banner at Lynah Rink to rest...'It's not a national championship...We'll honor this group of guys somehow inside Lynah Rink.'"

Did I say anything about hanging a "national championship banner"? Nope. I said some banner should be raised to commemorate this year's team. Schafer seems to agree, given that he said the team will be honored inside Lynah.

The soul of sports is the pursuit of excellence. The 19-20 C.U. Men's Hockey Team pursued excellence and damn near caught it. Be happy.

So you hate Bill James statistical analysis but you go all wobbly kneed for mawkish Roger Kahn sentimentality?

You're not a maverick truth teller.  You're just old.

The soul of sports is the soul of rock and roll:

1) showing off to get laid
2) beats workin' at Sears

I dislike name dropping [see above], costumes, cute demonstrations at hockey games, and lengthy postmortems of hockey games -especially those involving long columns of numbers and blizzards of decimal points. I get a kick out of watching athletic skill, winning strategies, persistence, resilience, and teamwork. Booklets of page upon page of numerical game exegesis do not interest me in the least and always make me suspicious the author is showing off - but I realize fans go to hockey games or write about them for different reasons. Maybe all those numbers are an ingredient in some sort of mammalian mating ritual.

you're on a forum you ridiculous phony. how is this schtick still interesting for you?

[osorojo]

Urgate - I suspect this 'shtick' -"What makes Cornell hockey interesting to you?" interests me for many of the same reasons it interests you - except for the regrettable ad-hominem.

This is a nice gallery of both teams' seasons. The Sun has some really good photographers right now.
