Cornellian and a Knight agree?  (looking out the window for a solar eclipse, nope)

Last year Clarkson underachieved with that 9th place finish, and I remember saying they are going to do a lot of damage because everyone will look at us a nine seed and we did......This year I think we had twelve frosh and sophs out of 18 regulars....Althought they did rise up to play ohio state, dartmouth, vermont well.  I knew they could not win a 3 game series against Cornell.

I like Cornell's chances to go deep this year if they stay within their system and avoid injuries.

I haven't seen it mentioned directly here yet, so in case people missed it, I thought it is pretty awesome that Downs was able to break a record Saturday night:

(from the USCHO recap)  "Cornell senior defenseman Jeremy Downs played in his 134th consecutive game Saturday night, setting a new school record. Next Friday in Albany, he will break Stephen Baby's school record for total games played in a career ... "

That's a lot of games!  He's one of those players that's always there (both literaly and figuratively!).  Congrats to him!

[RichS]

yep, I sure do...a good example is you calling me a "moron"...lol

[ben03]

richS, do you actually make that lame-a$$ face (::rolleyes:: ) whenever you reply to a post? just curious

[RichS]

Well, first off Al, only guys like George Steinbrenner have "cronies"...lol.

Yeah, Goldie can be a bit over the top but I've met her many times and she's a very nice lady.  I can't help it if she has developed a distaste for cornell fans based in large part I'm told on their tasteless behavior at Cheel.

If her posting bothers you that much, feel free to visit the Clarkson Roundtable and tell her so yourself.  There is not a single good reason for me to do that for you.  You've never had a problem or shown reluctance to express your feelings.

And no, I do not hold posters here to a standard any different than those on the Clarkson Roundtable.  I have called posters on that site about that stuff too.  Just seems to me that there is a lot more tasteless stuff written here, all the crap about Nickerson being a prime example.

There is more stuff written here, period.  Thus while the amount of "tasteless" posting here may be more as a whole than over at the Roundtable, proportionally it is probably about the same.  

And besides, what is tasteless to one is amusing to another.  Some of us find off-color comments about Nickerson's cannibalistic tendencies and STD misfortune amusing (I wonder if he caught syphillis in that same hottub as pictured in the the other thread...).  

Others (such as yourself), see themselves as above such lowly comments, yet still feel the need to validate them with a response every time they are made.  Why do you keep sinking to our level, RichS?  

And since you seem to like smilies so much, here's a new one for you to try on.

Not even close displaced...you guys take tastelessness to a new low, just as you do at Lynah.   And I suppose all your "dirt" on Nickerson came from creditable sources.  

I'm not sinking to your level at all and commenting on your antics hardly "validates" them.  Unlike some of you, I don't have to resort to obscenities to express my thoughts.

Case in point is your resorting to that smilie to tell me how you feel.  Pretty pathetic that a supposedly educated cornellian can't do better than that.  Sad.

And just for you...

:-}

You don't have to be here for us to take shots at you. :-P

[Dpperk29]

maybe some of us genuinely (sp?) think of you as a moron


edit: just so you know I am joking

But the question is if that is how you feel about her posts on the Clarkson Roundtable, why do you come here and act like it is your job or obligation to challenge every less-than-high brow comment made here?  I went to see it for myself; she made the "animals" and other attacking comments a lot in the Saturday score thread and there wasn't one post by you asking her to tone it down. Yet you haven't let one post in this thread go without retort. Perhaps if most all of your posts on eLF weren't so judgmental, you'd be more welcome here. I've certainly enjoyed for the most part the contributions made by other fans for opposition teams; I cannot say the same about your contributions.

Also, regarding your claim that, relatively speaking, there is more garbage on this forum then others, I heartily disagree.  But true or not, if that is your belief, why even bother participating here? If I don't like something that has voluntary involvement, I don't go out of my way to witness it over and over and over again and I certainly don't actively participate. And so as not to neglect the smilies:   ::screwy::

EDIT: deleted for content too offensive

[Drew]

Wow.....kinda rough in here.

[kaelistus]

No kidding...

Come on guys. Keep it in the rink. I, for one, like the fact that RichS is still posting around here, leave the personal insults out.  

RichS, inevitably there's always a few times when our fanbases will go too far, But "Nickerson eats babies" offensive??? HUH???
