An inspiration for the Cornell teams playing this weekend. LGR.

Very, very impressive win for the Big Red.  They really did the program proud today.  Let's hope there's no letdown against Yale on Saturday.

Life is good.

The announcers -- Barry Leonard, Howie Borkin   -- seemed breathless at times, they were dropping notes and forgetting their places, they didn't get the time on all the goals (guess they couldn't see the scoreboard and the weather was raw), the line quality was mediocre, the engineer working the pots back in Ithaca was slow on the uptake  ... but it was still great to be able to listen live as we took down Duke. In fact, awesome, given the conditions. Maybe the underlying tension of the game contributed just a mite.

And best of all on this audiocast -- no dropped video frames. This one was worth the money.

I don't think Barrry and Howie were broadcasting from a press box.  Howie mentioned that they were going to be in the stands.  They mentioned a few times that they could not see the clock.  I assume they must have been at a spot where they could hook up their equipment (they may have been on the phone braodcasting back to Ithaca as in the old days), but had no good place to put notes, etc.  The "out-of-town" scores and some stats were being texted to them from Ithaca.  Considering the weather, the "facilities" and everything else they were dealing with, I thought it was a great job.  

Of course with a win, if they had just grunted their way through it, it would have sounded great.  Terrific win for Cornell.

Check out the Duke d-man to the right of the picture.  Boulukos's aim ain't great, but geez.

--"Where do you want us to put this rusty old metal file cabinet?"

[CHONK]

--"Oh, I'm sorry Sir, I didn't see you there. I didn't mean to hit you with it. Geez, the corner of this thing is jagged."

--"Dude, that guy didn't even flinch. It hit his head."

--"Are you alright, man?"

[Frozen smile]

--"He's not even blinking."

--"Leave him alone, man. Hey, do any of you people know who this guy is? I think something's wrong with him!"

[Muffled voice from inside neighboring office] --"That's Hillel. Don't worry about it. He's fine."

--"But he's bleeding I think."

--"Really, he'll be fine. That's what happens to him sometimes."

[Q]"What cost us in the fourth quarter was some defensive breakdowns," Duke head coach Mike Pressler said. "We had three key blunders in a row on defense and they capitalized on them.... We only gave up two goals in the first half, but the key was that we gave up nine goals in the second half. Defensive gaffes and blunders really let us down."

"We didn't play well on the offensive end," Pressler said. "We won the faceoffs, we stayed out of the penalty box, but we threw too many balls away. We weren't in sync today."[/Q]

How DARE he not acknowledge the opponent.  Someone once said, "To not acknowledge another team's efforts, even marginally and how they affected your own team's performance, sorry I disagree with that," and "It's poor form to not tip your cap to the guy that gave you a run for your money in a pitched battle. Poor sportsmanship is another way to say it."

Well, I still disagree.  

Wooo!!!!!!!  Go Big Red Lax!!!

So I guess the phrase "phrase removed" is the newest spambot magnet?
