Women 2023-24

[George64]

You're gonna make me hope.

I had accepted that Huggy Bear was as irreparable a part of the Creeping Meatballism of the last 70 years of Cornell's aestethic and spiritual cratering as the death of the elms.

It is too much to ask for the return of Domestic Abuser Bear.

Condescending  bear leaning on block C forever. Huggy Bear never.

Problem — Is genitalialess Domestic Abuser Bear, male, female, transgender, cisgender, hermaphroditic?  Further, is he, she, it, they — gay, straight, bisexual or asexual?  Probably, just too confusing for our Athletic Department to sort out.  Well, at least, not a drag bear!

Maybe, but probably not, just better graphic design and easier to reproduce digitally?  Who knows.  I'll go ask Alexia.

Cornell was picked to finish 4th in the preseason coaches' poll. Colgate was the unanimous pick to finish on top, with their exception of the Colgate coach, who was prohibited from voting for his own team, giving us a bone by voting for Cornell for No. 1.
Rory Guilday was voted the preseason All-ECAC team.

8-3 exhibition win against the University of Toronto today, with eight different goal-scorers. I had the game on but wasn't really paying close attention. The top line was Izzy Daniel, Lily Delianedis and Katie Chan, the transfer from Colgate. Annelies Bergmann was in goal the second half of the game and gave up one goal (on a bit of a defensive breakdown) on two shots.

Thanks for the link. It made me smile to hear the band playing.

That is fucking awesome.

After 40 years, Cornell appears to have gotten somebody to do their comms who is under the age of 87.

Now please, murder #yellcornell in its sleep and bury it in a shallow grave in Mecklenburg.

It feels so there's been a tone shift this year from athletics. First full year from Nicki Moore. Will be curious to see what else evolves.

Also, note that the bear, skeptical or otherwise, is gone from the logo.  Just a plain block C.

Also just looked and the Athletics webpage has the block C and no "huggy bear" anymore.

While I'd prefer "snarky bear", I'll settle for baby steps.

Hope the bear hasn't been ousted as a symbol "ursism".

Under an inch of ice, the finer details of a bear grow fuzzy. If we had a C and went to the bear, there'd be unhappiness, too.

Women leading Penn State 4-1 early 3rd in season opener.  PSU playing its sixth game.

4-1 final

Just noticed that Cornell appears to have added F Katie Chan from Colgate via the transfer portal. She had 8G and 9A in 40 games last season.

Chan had first two goals in opening game.

Happen to be in Ithaca this weekend so I stopped by the game. Really strong performance for the first game. Chan looked great on that top line.

Not about games, but equipment. Cornell Researchers have designs on better women's hockey protective gear

This is going to be a fun team to watch.  Izzy Daniel's empty net goal was a thing of beauty.

Interesting news. Thanks for sharing.

[Trotsky]

I amazed CCM didn't monetize this a long time ago, especially given the demography of women's hockey.

Doing well by doing good.

I wonder what the novel (i,e. patentable) aspect to the work is. It can't simply be that women have different sizes and shapes to their torso therefore different size pads are needed. Is it the custom measurement approach? Is it a new way of arranging the straps or non-obvious changes to the shape of the pads?
Sorry, the enginerd in me couldn't help but wonder.
