jtwcornell91 I was in the process of making a reservation at the Best Western for the Clarkson-SLU weekend, and at the last step I realized what I thought was the total cost for two nights was actually the cost per night. Yikes! RIP Hillside Inn. Isn't the Hillside Inn now the Dorm Hotel? Where else in Ithaca can you sleep in a room reminiscent of freshman year, on a raised bed with drawersby Swampy - Hockey

mike1960 Trotsky Just plant trees. I have always loved the end zone view of the trees leading down into the Cascadilla Creek gorge. Wrap that all the way around the west side of the stadium; it will be unique and bucolic, and one small step away from the increasing cluttering and uglification of the campus. A photo. Nothing beautiful about that side of the field. It actually looks slightly dby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 (preseason) August top 20 - 3 months ago
semsox Not to be blunt, but I kind of feel like the 'concern' being discussed here is not really based in reality? What about our coaching staff over the past few seasons would lead someone to believe they are suddenly dropping the ball on recruiting? What kind of track record do these recruiting lists have that would make one think they should be treated as a true report card on the incoming claby Swampy - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio marty billhoward rss77 Swamstrom has been given more resources than Archer. Let's hope it works out. Success in college sports sports comes down to recruiting and that was Archer and many other Cornell coaches have fallen short(Exceptions granted to Musick, Baughan, and Hofher regimes). Comes down to talent that is being put on the field. And success comes from involved alumni especby Swampy - Other Sports

big29red Has Coach Buczek pissed off the usual HS stud prospects we usually see commit to Cornell by now for the Class of ‘30 Lax recruits? I say this tongue in cheek, but we are getting smoked on the recruiting front by most of the Ivy teams! Something seems amiss in Ithaca??? We have 2 3* recruits, at positions we really don’t need-Goal and FOGO. We are even losing NY state recruits, to our comby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2024 - 4 months ago
CAS Part 3 of the Sun’s interview with Coach Swanstrom has been posted. Of the three parts, I found this one most informative. He makes it very clear that the returning players were never taught how to prepare at a level appropriate for the Ivy League: Dan Swanstrom We got to get bigger, we got to be stronger. gotta get more explosive, gotta get faster.

The Rancor Ken711 Local Motion I am not sure why environmental protesters have concerns about turf that is indoors, because unless you have a retractable roof grass is not even an option. However, on the second outdoor field adjacent to the indoor facility as a former student-athlete they should plant grass and not install another turf field.

Re: Cornell football 2024 - 4 months ago
mike1960 big29red Great 2-part interview w/ Coach Swanstrom! The last few quotes in the article are quite telling and an indictment of the last coaching regime. He is explaining the difference between taking over at Penn as an OC and now as a Head Coach at Cornell-"This team's got more work to do. I think there's some want to and there's some passion, but the collective group has no clue. Liby Swampy - Other Sports

Weder ithacat abmarks Harvard makes what looks to be a solid hire (Hobey winner Matt Gilroy who played at BU, hired as assistant coach) That sucks. Would love to see deeper NTDP ties at Cornell. Cornell's next hire appears to be solid as well and, hopefully, opens up Minnesota for the men.

Jeff Hopkins '82 When I think about the MSG game, I always come back to the paradigm that the western schools almost always play two games in a weekend to defray the travel costs. I suspect that may be part of the problem in getting anybody from the west. Excellent point. Maybe go back to the "holiday tournament" model.

BearLover Any spam detector would delete 90% of Trostsky’s posts. Is that something we are willing to accept? A detector of possiblespam, one that (e.g.) turned a web page colors once spam is detected on that page, and a way for end users to avoid the spam is all that's necessary.by Swampy - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 6 months ago
dag14 Not sure where else to post this but last night, Jeff Teat tied the PLL season scoring record with 44 points. What makes this particularly noteworthy is that he did it before the All Star break, which is next weekend. To date, his Atlas team is the best in the league, which helps. He has as many assists as goals. Curse you, COVID!by Swampy - Other Sports

cbuckser BearLoverCasey is clearly a logical choice to take over Cornell’s hockey program. But I would not call it a slam dunk.
