Got a buddy who’s son is going to Cornell in the fall. He was lamenting no hotels available nearby for parents weekend. I’m checking w a buddy who’s got a lake house in canandaigua but for a little further away from Ithaca hotels or options anyone have preferred locations where you can still have a shot at a room?

Cortland has a number of hotel options, with Ithaca an easy drive down Route 13. If memory serves, it's about a twenty-minute trip.

If he can just teach all the middies to do that.

This could be crazy and I could be wrong but if IMO if COVID had not happened (or at least seasons not canceled/reduced for Ivys) Cornell wins a National Championship in either 2020 or 2021. Donville was a horse for the UMD offense this season. One has to think if they had a real chance the last two years they would have done it.

Don't forget about a guy named Jeff Teat. He and Clark Peterson, among others, were also on that team.

But, as the saying goes, "Why does God hate Cornell so much? Could it be the atheism?"

(Cornell was one of the first U.S. colleges to be unaffiliated with any church and to offer a curriculum that does not conform to what was then called a "Christian education," i.e. an education centered on the classics.)

It's our cross to bear.

There's a guy named Cascadden is heading up to Ithaca. He's the same size as HK and played football and lacrosse against Kelleher when HUGH was in High School.

I hope Buczek AND Kelleher can work on developing Cascadden's dodging and shooting. He's already great facing off.

I see what you did there!

Didn’t realize that. No wonder I like them so much.

My favorite is the Cornell University “chapel” (and not just because I was married there!). By first impression, it looks like a nice traditgothic chapel, with lots of mosaics and other art. As you look closer, however, most of the images are of Greek/Roman gods, other classical scenes, and even to honor civil rights martyrs. Very few allusions to Judaism, Islam, or Christianity throughout the building

Well we did have a goalie named Christian Knight in an attempt to atone for our sins ...

We had same issue years ago - and yes Cortland is an easy quick drive to Ithaca. That's where we stayed

Question for you Cornellians. I'm pretty sure I heard in one of the tribute speeches about Richie Moran ( I can not remember who the guy doing it was) that he was an officer in the USMC. This surprised me (very much) as I never knew he was a veteran. Can anyone confirm this? Played for the Terps in '59, started his HS coaching career in '61. Officer in the Marine Corps just isn't making sense to me.

Pretty much figured I could count on you, thanks. That's the first time I've ever heard any mention of his having been in the Marine Corps. Draft was on in those days which was two years of obligation (active), am pretty sure voluntary enlistment was a three year obligation (active). Two years (max) seems odd to me, particularly as an officer (which it doesn't say in the obit...enlisted or officer... but I'm pretty sure I heard the guy say officer).

1959 draft

At age 17 to 26 you can…
— Volunteer for induction at your draft board, serve 2 years on active duty followed by 2 years in the Ready Reserve and 2 years in Standby.

— Or, you can enlist for 3 years in the Army or Marines, for 4 years in the Navy, Coast Guard, or Air Force.

All enlistments were a six year obligation, even if you did four years active you were still in a standby status for two years and could be called back if needed.

Did they have ROTC at UMD in the mid 50s (they do now...Army) and was Richie in it?
Two years as an officer seems very odd to me, know anything about that?

I don't think that he was an officer. He did serve proudly in the US Marines. There was a time when the pep band played the Marine Hymn after games. He also often signed his letters Sempre Fi. I need to check his book, but I believe he went into the Marine Corps before undergrad.

His eldest brother was a West Point grad who was shot down in combat over France in WWII.

Thanks, fc, that makes far more sense.
Officer just didn't add up, and I'm darn
sure that's what I heard the guy say.
Zero reason to puff anything about Richie.
Am figuring he must've gone in the reserves,
did 2 years active, the rest inactive.

2 years in active duty is my recollection. Aside from his eldest brother, I believe (but can't confirm) at least one of his other brothers was a WWII vet.

You crack me up.

I heard on a podcast that Chase Ierlan is back for the 2023: season. I was wondering if anyone was aware if this is correct.
