Re: Ben Robertson transfer - 2 months ago
ugarte BearLover ugarte BearLover ugarte Dafatone BearLover And now it’s official. I’m honestly curious. We have had 0 decommits among the 20 or so kids who were committed at the time Casey took over. Nobody else on the team has transferred out. Robertson has almost no chance of an NHL career. He was on the first D pairing, first PP unit, and alongside Rego got more TOI than anybody on the entireby Swampy - Hockey

scoop85 chimpfood I mean RPI is probably here to stay so I don’t know why we keep putting ourselves in this situation by scheduling multiple teams like Lehigh, Hobart, and Albany in the same year. I understand that some schools don’t want to do a home and home with us but it’s better to not hold a grudge about that and just play a good team away than it is to play these bad teams.

Re: Cornell lax — 2025 playoffs - 2 months ago
semsox djk26 After last year, I'd say the goals are: 1) Get in the tournament. 2) Get a home game. After that it's all a roll of the dice. Of course I'll be disappointed if Cornell doesn't win the national championship this year, since we may not see this level of talent on a Cornell team again for a very long time. But we are going to have to beat strong teams sometime to get there.by Swampy - Other Sports

I mean, I get that everything we do is to polish the snobbery discriminator that makes idiots in Mineola pay 5x the tuition for an undergrad business degree they could get at SUNY, but why do we shoot ourselves in the dick on graduate students of all people? They are, by definition, good schoby Swampy - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2025 - 2 months ago
chimpfood Never heard of the lads unfortunately, my lacrosse knowledge starts in 2022 pretty much. I guess it does well to keep the median age of the forum above 60. Thanks guys. They're brothers. Now, if you were on a baseball forum and the hint was "Mickey and Roger's team, 7 letters," would you have the same trouble?by Swampy - Other Sports

billhoward djk26 rss77 Credit also to Knust and Cornell's settled defense in 2nd half as the settled defense allowed only 1 goal. Brown's defense clogged things up and ground balls were pretty even. Cascadden also had a huge game. His presence is a big difference from last year. I can see into the future: Cornell recruits a 70% FOGO, we make it as far as the title game, then for his sophomore yeaby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Portal 2025 - 3 months ago
Trotsky jtwcornell91Wasn't there a similar analysis about going for it on fourth down in football: a riskier strategy would win more games on average, but be more likely to get the coach fired?Yes. If owners were intelligent, it would be the right move for a coach, but the graph of intelligence against wealth is a bell curve. With mean = ? & s.d. = ?by Swampy - Hockey

Re: 2024-25 Players Graduating - 3 months ago
Al DeFlorio Trotsky ugarte arugula Yes indeed. We had this debate a few years back when Shane was breaking through and Cornell often having smaller goalies.Jim Crozier was 5'3.I have Jim Crozier at 5' 9" 161. If this is a joke, I apologize, or perhaps I made it better. Brian Cropper was 5'6" and 29-0-0. But that was in a universe far, far away and a long time ago.by Swampy - Hockey

But the only broke it open halfway into the third.My memories are 25+ years in the bin, but I was there and I remember NoDak controlling play and dominating us from the puck drop. We never felt in it. Note they badly outshot us. We were still close, and anything can happenby Swampy - Hockey

BearLover ... this was the single biggest opportunity, and single most devastating loss, in my 17 years as a die-hard Cornell hockey fan. BearLover, your aspirations and expectations are not realistic. Consider this. Richie Moran coached Cornell lacrosse for 29 seasons, during which he won NC's in 1971, 1976, and 1977; lost title games in 1978, 1987, and 1988; and won 15 Ivy championships, iby Swampy - Hockey

Tom Lento Weder Inspired by a post in the men's 2025-26 thread: For non-conference games, Cornell seems to have settled into playing AHA teams and then looking for a tournament (Nashville, D.C., Ice Breaker) where it can get a game against a top WCHA team.

billhoward rss77 Good to see the Red ranked #1 but lets see if we can stay on top when it really matters in May. Watching Kirst is like watching Michael Jordan-such incredible head scratching shots he makes. Not going to get caught up in comparing him to likes of French, Pannell, Teat, etc. Appreciate the greatness of watching CJ play. Agreed on the hit to Long.

CU77 Because Penn has had way more success in recent years; they were the #3 seed in the NCAAs in 2022 (lost to #6 Rutgers in quarterfinals, who lost to #7 Cornell in the semis), while Dartmouth has been the Ivy doormat: in the past 10 years, their only previous Ivy win was over Harvard in 2023.
