HARVARD SUCKS

Give My Regards
Here's another A -- I suppose this could be considered a study of current events.

Course description: [english.fas.harvard.edu]

Just to send everybody to bed happy, Harvard is currently below Bentley in PWR.

Harvard picked one game to play well.

I'm shocked said nobody.

Jenny and Oliver are dead. Francis LaPierre still lives.

Do we really need to read "Why Americans Love to Hate Harvard"? Isn't it obvious?

HARVARD SUCKS!

That feeling when…..

….you haven’t been following all that closely and are surprisingly stunned to see your main rival sitting at 1-10-3….and then get greedy trying to obtain an extra dose of Schadenfreude By looking up their schedule to laugh at whatever hapless team they beat. Mother….

New batch of Lynah East tickets on sale now according to an email from their ticket office. In case anyone is looking.

Watching Rangers Sharks yesterday with Fox, Thrum, and Vesey was a little annoying.

If you don't want to pay for parking at Lynah East next season, anyone who puts a deposit down on Harvard season tickets by April 15 for 2024-25 gets a free parking pass for next season!

"Being in the Bean Polyp is a major draw for every player in choosing to go to a school that plays here."

I would bet there is not a single player who chose these schools for the Bean Polyp.

Harvard up 2-1 midway through the third, getting ready I assume for another collapse.

This broadcast is infantile even by normal TV standards.

There's the Crimson we all know. 2-2.

For pairwise purposes, I'd like to thank Harvard for making it to OT before losing.

Oh, Harvard.

the good news is that they could get a game vs BC now if Bu were to win.

Hung on to win 4-3.

As good results as we could ask for yesterday. Harvard losing was a given, so them losing in OT is a plus.

not reading much between the lines that they are going to raise single game ticket prices again then ?
should offer installment plans instead of parking with deposit

Here I thought Cornell might be turning the season around after the 4-1 win over Harvard last night, but no- Harvard just sucks

Death, taxes, Harvard sucking. Last game I verbatim asked if we were finally deciding to be good now or if Harvard was that ass.

Cornell looked great vs Harvard. Nice! Sorry for the late post.

Losing 7-1 to BU, whose starting goaltender is playing his third game at the NCAA level and is still wearing his old team's pads, at TD Garden and having to put in your backup sieve after your starter sieve lets in 5 in the 2nd period... what can I say except HARVARD SUCKS?

Not sure where else to note that Mark Carney, the new Canadian PM Designate, was a backup goalie at H in the 80s.

Interesting. Does that mean that his politics are progressieve?

Yeah.

Here I am, all excited to see Harvard's roster get shredded by an apparent ban on international students (look, you gotta take joy in what you can), and all but seven guys on their roster are American.

And only two on their women's roster.

Everything is the worst.

Um, let’s just hope he doesn’t target Cornell next. Because that would be a de facto death sentence for us.

Yeah, I mean, all of this is Extremely Bad, and while Cornell Hockey is not the most important priority in the grand scheme of things, it'd certainly be all sorts of doom for Cornell Hockey.

Are you really that surprised? I don't recall Harvard ever being quite as dependent on Canadian players as Cornell has been historically. It's been closer to 50/50 US/Canada (plus the odd Eastern European here and there) in recent years but it wasn't that long ago that we had some recruiting classes almost entirely from Canada.

losing 7 players off your roster right before next season is an absolute disaster so I disagree with the original post anyway

Even if Harvard quickly gets a temporary restraining order against this ban, it will have a chilling effect on international students (and athletes) applying to Harvard.

Fortunately, Cornell does not appear to be close to receiving a similar penalty by the Trump administration, as the ban on international students (which Harvard will immediately litigate) follows several rounds of back and forth between Harvard and the Trump administration. Columbia previously received a letter of demands and acquiesced. Harvard received a different letter of different demands and chose to fight. Cornell hasn’t received any such letter. It appears President Kotlikoff understands how much hinges on staying out of the crosshairs of the Trump administration. As he recently told the Sun: “I will say we have not received a letter like Harvard… I will say that one of my goals is to not receive such a letter.” He has been back and forth to DC to put in a good word about Cornell.

It is a quarrel in a faraway land between people of which we know nothing.

So where will the hockey diaspora land? Yale? Michigan? Any chance Cornell might land a couple?

They likely will not transfer at all. Harvard is going to challenge this in court. And let’s hope they succeed, because Trump could come for the other Ivies next.

This could have major ramifications throughout college hockey as well as all other college sports.

Yeah, I have no interest in taking Harvard transfers under these circumstances. The fascists need to be reigned in, but unfortunately they seem content to ignore court orders with the blessing of the GOP in Congress. Very concerning.

well, i have no interest in *poaching* transfers to harvard's detriment under these circumstances, but to the extent they need landing spots i don't mind if cornell assists the players. rationalize your self-interest!

the judge who got harvard's suit seems likely to me to issue the injunction based on her history - obama appointee, enjoined the travel ban during Trump I. not particularly friendly to my field (plaintiffs' class action) but not likely to see this as anything other than arbitrary and capricious retaliation over protected first amendment activity.

I don’t know anything about the judge, or the underlying law really, but this seems like the most open-and-shut injunction in history. So I’m sure this judge would grant it, but so would any reasonable judge.

On the transfer point—if international students/athletes are transferring out of Harvard as a result of the government’s actions, this is an abhorrent situation regardless of where they end up. We should all hope it never comes to this.

I’m confident that almost any judge (except the Trumpiest ones) would issue an injunction and rule in Harvard’s favor. But I also believe the administration will do everything it can to undermine any such ruling.

I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect it will have to be litigated in Judge Burroughs' court, then appealed, and then possibly taken before the Supremes. I'll be interested to see if (a) the Supremes agree to hear the case and (2) if they drag out the process as they did with Trump's claim of immunity.

I don't think so. I mean, if he wins he wins. But I think he's just jerking their chain. Maybe because his dad wasn't a big enough shot to get him in there. The Harvard worm produces different symptoms in different people.
