Re: Last-minute discounts to attend Syracuse Class of '29 - 8 days ago
I was going to post this article here, not surprised to see someone already diid. In a weird coincidence, two other schools are mentioned in the article as places that Syracuse applicants will attend instead: Penn State and Maryland.by djk26 - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 13 days ago
Al DeFlorio Weder There’s another site selling championship gear (for a limited time), and the proceeds apparently go to the team. Is there an issue with putting all seven letters in the university's name on a shirt? Maybe there is, Maybe it would make the $67.99 for long sleeved men's or women's T-shirt even more expensive.by djk26 - Other Sports

2009 was...I don't want to say heartbreaking because I was a fan; I'm sure it was heartbreaking for the players and sad for the rest of us. 2022 didn't feel that way because Cornell never led in that game (well, they did lead 1-0, but I mean they didn't surrender a late lead.) In both 2009 and 2022, I thought the team exceeded expectations so to even make the final both years (2022 even more so)by djk26 - Other Sports

How many years of NCAA eligibility does a player have? Ivy League doesn't allow grad students on teams but how can someone play anywhere as a grad student if he has already used four years somewhere else? I thought NCAA eligibility was four years, not five.by djk26 - Other Sports

I am very late to this particular party (regarding the new Field House), but is the idea that the Field House will host lacrosse games? It would be cool to see early season games better attended, if the national championship can stir up more interest on campus. Does anyone know when it will open and what the seating capacity will be?by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: CJ KIRST WINS 2025 TEWAARATON AWARD - 22 days ago
BearLover What are some historic Cornell big game performances that compare to Kirst’s 6 goals in the title game this season? Well, I'd have to use non title games--in my 25+ years of following Cornell sports I've only seen two national title games (both lacrosse, both recently.) When I saw this post two words came to mind: Louis Dale. Scored 26 points in the second round of the 2010 NCAA baby djk26 - Other Sports

mike1960 jjanow99 mike1960 George64 For you youngsters, Tim Goldstein on the list above, is Ryan’s father. At some point, you may decide to add Ryan Goldstein to the list, but I think our next superstar will be Willem Firth. I agree. Some of the TV commentators speculated that Firth would move to attack next year. My take is that he’s too similar in style and physique to Goldstein, so he woulby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men’s Lacrosse - Max Seibald - 24 days ago
RichH So great to see both of these memorable moments again! Thanks very much. I was at the Albany game and remember watching the Syracuse game live. Just to show how unreliable memory was, I had it in my head that this trail check happened near the end of regulation and led to a goal forcing OT, but here it is plain as day that it was near the end of the OT period.

Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 25 days ago
Here are two local news stories on the Cornell lacrosse players' graduation. In the first one, while Connor Buczek is speaking to the media, you can hear "Free Bird" in the background. Either the NCAA is now regulating graduation ceremonies, or the team likes that song more than we thought.by djk26 - Other Sports

imafrshmn As a fan of Classicism, i enjoyed all the ridiculous allusions to Greek mythology that almost effortlessly wrote themselves into our story as presented on the broadcast. Funny how that works. Really? I thought the whole about Odysseus finding his way home to Ithaca was a little silly. (I thought the allusion to it on the broadcast was silly, not "The Odyssey" itself.)by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 26 days ago
LGR14 Agreed. Also, Buczek has been more aggressive about using the timeout since failing to call one in the first Penn State game when Kirst was pinned on the endline while up 1. Every possession counts. That's why that loss to Penn State was the most important (regular season) game of the year. Sure it cost them an undefeated regular season but the lessons learned from that game had a biby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 26 days ago
Looking at the box score from yesterday, I am struck but what an atypical game this was for Cornell. Cornell (narrowly) lost both the groundball battle and faceoff battle for the game. Even more striking that was the low rate of assists. In the previous five games, Cornell scored a total of 80 goals and had 57 assists (71% of the goals were assisted.) In the championship game, they had 13 goalby djk26 - Other Sports

toddlose Ken711 Does Connor Buczek get a raise or bonus for coaching his Cornell team to the National Championship? He will definitely be offered a raise. Hopefully his loyalty prevails. I’m optimistic on it. When I saw his emotional postgame interview, I thought, "No way he's leaving, he loves Cornell lacrosse too much." But that is a question for another day--he and his staff andby djk26 - Other Sports
