Ohio State @ Cornell

[mike1960]

We're doing the Macarena at Schoellkopf.

CJ open net.
15-11

And that's a wrap. Nice comeback after a rough start

[mike1960]

Cornell win. 15-11

A win is a win is a win.

The commentator marveled at how well a so-so OSU was playing. But the reason is that our defense was not playing well early. They OSU ball carriers simply ran around our shorties on three or four goals, and we didn't slide. A couple of more mistakes led to easy goals later. The defense clamped down much better later in the game. We need to play with this intensity all four quarters if we are going to be successful against a tough schedule.

PSU tips Yale in OT.

A roundball win tonight and all will be well in Whoville.

I think Yale was up 9-2 at one point. Big collapse, though I'd probably rather play PSU off a W than an L

I would like some puck luck too, please.

Drizzly, cold (43 at 12 noon faceoff), thus only 212 fans. This is the kind of game that would benefit from being played in the pending field house.

The offense is ahead of the defense. Saturday so much was CJ Kirst, an amazing 7G 1A day and Michael Long 3G 4A. Otherwise five players with single goals.

The Willem Firth goal to build Cornell's first 3-point lead, late in the third, pass from Long as the shot clock was running down IIRC, shot seemed like an inch above the ground all the way in. Firth really is going to be someone special.

We had problems on faceoffs: OSU 18, Cornell 12. Cornell was better on saves. And near perfect on clears, 22x23 vs TOSU's 15x19. Everything else on stats was not a difference maker.   Wyatt Knust was 54% on saves, State's Caleb Fyock was 42% and that's filling a lot of the net (6-foot-2, 297 pounds).  He's highly regarded in his freshman year but, ah, maybe we shoot better.

I don't see anyway they play a game like yesterday inside.  There were games all over this weekend played in much worse weather and far worse rain.

What odds are you giving?

Will the facility be done by next season?

[upprdeck]

given how well the golf course project has gone maybe by 2028.

Seriously. All this indoor facilities stuff is starting to sound like Syracuse people and their Dome affection. Typical Ithaca weather is home field advantage. I hope they don't play every game that isn't in billhoward approved weather conditions indoors once the practice facility is completed.

[upprdeck]

They will play every game outside that they can.

If the game looks like it will have lightening before it starts, they might play inside. If it looks like hurricane weather they might go inside.  If it looks like a mighty ice/snowstorm throughout and hard to keep the field clean they might go inside. 45 and drizzle, they won't go inside.

For the most part they will want to make the decision in advance

Nope.  The plan is winter 2026.
