Maybe if we had more of this we'd have more cheering?

That's a bingo. An obvious example: men's basketball attendance barely reached 1,000 before its 3-year Ivy dominance that filled Newman with "Newman Nation" t-shirts and heavy frat participation. Steve Donohue's miraculous success building a WINNING team filled the other 3,500 seats. Not surprisingly, attendance is now significantly down.

Many things noted here might contribute to waning enthusiasm and lower student attendance but remain peripheral to the core issue. In my experience, the majority of students are not die-hards. They attend athletic events to celebrate victory, not to demonstrate support for their struggling school-mates.

Just my $.02

Disagree. Most students have no idea how well the hockey team is doing. They use the games as a social event and an excuse to get drunk. I think everyone who really cares is already standing in Section B; it is the sorority girls and the facetimers are gone. I echo the posters who have said it has been a long, steady deterioration. I wrote Noel/Schafer an email; I encourage everyone else to do the same. I don't have an easy solution, but something needs to be done. I think it starts by decreasing ticket prices and making more sections GA.

We can't let Lynah die.

Except the Cubs. They'll fill Wrigley for another 100 years, regardless of how bad they are.

Atmosphere aside, we missed Cole Bardreau on the PP and offense in general.

Q just lost a blue chip freshman to the CHL.

I guess the "going to class" part of college didn't work for him.

Since when did Quinnipiac start holding classes?

Cornell claims to be the place where you can find instruction in any study. But can you take pole dancing as a for credit course? And that just points out an advantage schools like that have over Ivy Tower Cornell: better career preparation.

Ezra didn't say anything about course credit. I am certain that someone on the Cornell campus can offer instruction in anything; you only need to find them.

Since early this year I have been more worried about learning to execute on the ice than on the pole.

Pole dancing is great for strengthening one's core. Maybe Coach Howley can get on that, although I doubt there are many college-age male contact sport athletes secure enough with their masculinity and willing to eschew traditional gender constructs in order to don the patent-leather boots essential to keeping beginners from sliding off the pole when learning to do hands-free inversions.

I'll second that. I actually took a pole dancing class with my labmates as a work activity (along with aerial dance). It was extremely physically demanding. I was temped to put on the stilleto heel thigh-length boots but I resited.

Some of the pole dance routines you can find on video online (the athletic ones) are nothing short of amazing.

OK, somebody look up the record for "thread drift". I think we've rocketed right past it.
