My original post said "respected" versus "prestigious". I'm not sure that academic respect for Cornell lags Sanford materially for undergraduate programs. Although, if one is so inclined, I am sure that distinctions can always be made.Gobigred wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 8:34 pmThis is nonsense.sanelaxparent wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 11:37 am A Stanford degree is more than 'marginally' more prestigious than a Cornell degree....
I mean as an upstate guy who’s spent a ton of time in and around Ithaca for decades I think a ton of Cornell and Ithaca. But just overall breadth, openness and, fair or not, better weather.CU77 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 12:44 am Kinda surprised at how much you like the Stanford campus, FFG; all that sandstone and tile roofs never did much for me. And DMac is right about the Falls in Ithaca! IMO, the Stanford natural setting is much less impressive. (As for Pepperdine, I've driven past it a number of times on Rte.1 but never spent any time on the campus; the setting is so spectacular that the building are largely irrelevant.)
As a science nerd grad student at Stanford, the undergrad coeds were at some remove from me. Happily I met my wife-to-be while there, even though neither she nor the mutual friend who introduced us had a Stanford connection.
And that great team has only one National Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee, Bob Rule, who didn't even play in the championship game due to injury. He was the 1st Team All-America goalie that year, but his understudy Bob Buhmann won the NC game between the pipes and was chosen Honorable Mention All-America, the only time in history two goalies from the same team were chosen All America the same year. Bob Shaw was the MVP of that team and still awaits National Lacrosse Hall of Fame induction. Bob was a three time All America, 1st in 1971, 2nd in 1972 and 3rd in 1970, the latter on the undefeated Big Red Team that was snubbed for National Champion consideration. He was also three time 1st Team All Ivy and graduated with the highest points/game for a middie in Ivy League history. He played center midfield, taking faceoffs and staying on the field to play both ways. Bob is inducted into two regional halls of fame, Upstate New York and California and played club, professionally and for the USA internationally in 1974. 2021 would be about 40 years late but would be a great year for it to happen.faircornell wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 6:05 am With a general thought that "time flys", 2021 will be the 50th anniversary of the NCAA tournament, and the 50th anniversary of Cornell's 1971 NCAA Championship team.
Shaw was an inaugural member of the Cornell Hall of Fame. I believe that he is of Native American heritage. Given US Lacrosse's seeming desire to have better relations with the Native American community, this might be something for them to consider.laxfan1313 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 9:46 amAnd that great team has only one National Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee, Bob Rule, who didn't even play in the championship game due to injury.

Bob is not Native American but played on his high school team in Syracuse with Native Americans including great wooden stick maker Alf Jacques.faircornell wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 7:01 pmShaw was an inaugural member of the Cornell Hall of Fame.

Listen to the first few minutes of this podcast (click on at 2:30).

Alfie played at LaFayette HS (where I did play against him).
