Subject: Re: A Real Softball Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:43:59 05/04/24 Sat In reply to: joiseyfan 's message, "A Real Softball" on 18:33:26 05/04/24 Sat Watching some baseball and softball this afternoon. P gives up the lead to Cornell, trailing by a run late. Flyball to left, Cornell runner leaves early but ump doesn’t see it and the run is allowed. Disgusted, I turn it off. So I missed: Bottom of the 7th, two out, two on, 3-2 count. Sablone homers to left, getting a piece of the title and home field with the swing.

[> Subject: Re: A Real Softball 2024 Softball Fulfills the 1995 Football Dream Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:52:00 05/05/24 Sun I see that today's Dartmouth-Columbia softball game has been cancelled. I don't know if it's due to weather or a giant flaming gasoline tanker on I-95. The loss of a game at the tail end of the regular season may not mean anything to 9-11 Columbia. But 13-7 Dartmouth is one win away from fulfilling Go Green's hopes and dreams for the 1995 football season: a four-way tie at the top of the regular season for a quad-championship. The list of non-champions would be as long as the list of titleists. HYP have finished their seasons at 14-7, Princeton winning in unlikely fashion as Bengal describes above. 13-7 Dartmouth is the #4 seed in the tournament either way, but are we going to give Jensin Hall and her teammates a quarter-share of the Ivy title as well? Or perhaps phrased more meaningfully, are we going to deny her a quarter-share of the regular season championship?

[> [> Subject: A Shame D-Col didn't go forward Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:44:19 05/05/24 Sun The four-way tie would have been cool! Obviously, you have to play the games. But Dartmouth with a healthy Hall has to like its chances. She missed two weeks mid-season and I'm pretty sure Dartmouth went 1-5 in those games--including 0-3 against Princeton. Should be fun to see how the D-Pr game goes with Hall in the circle... No idea if teams recognize regular season titles if they don't win the conference tournament? Is there an accepted practice for that? Is Princeton going to put the 2023-24 team up in the rafters for its regular season men's bball title?

[> [> [> Subject: Re: A Shame D-Col didn't go forward Author: Watkins [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:36:50 05/05/24 Sun Of course teams are entitled to recognize regular season titles. That’s why they’re called titles. The only issue here is whether Dartmouth will miss out on one because of rain on the last day of the season.

[> [> [> [> Subject: I'll say this much Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:13:09 05/06/24 Mon I live near a PL school. The banners in the gym do not recognize regular season titles if the team did not go onto win the conference tournament.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: I'll say this much Author: Watkins [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:56:22 05/06/24 Mon That’s every school’s prerogative not to hang banners. For most of the seven-decade history of the Ivy League, the only basketball gym which hung any banners at all was The Palestra. Princeton famously or quirkily did not have any commemoration of its many championships while Carril was coaching because he didn’t want them. Now most Ivy facilities in most sports display the championships won by the host team, both regular season and tournament. Did you notice the 1968 and 2023 banners at Levien Gym during the 2024 basketball tournaments?

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: I'll say this much Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:14:01 05/07/24 Tue Dartmouth's had the men's Ivy championship banners (1950s) and women's banners (1980s and early 1990s) when I enrolled (1989). No idea when we put them up--possibly when Leede was built? I never saw a game at Alumni Gym. But from what I remember, there's no obvious place to hang banners. So I'm more than willing to accept that we didn't have any banners prior to Leede.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: I'll say this much Author: joiseyfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:08:15 05/07/24 Tue No banners at Alumni Gym. For a long time, not much heat in the dead of winter either — the (lack of) temperature was a big home-court advantage. A shame the Rudy LaRusso years weren’t recognized in some fashion.

[> [> Subject: Re: A Real Softball 2024 Softball Fulfills the 1995 Football Dream Author: joiseyfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:47:19 05/05/24 Sun Assume both men’s and women’s 2024 basketball titles are hanging in Jadwin already.
