RPI has released its schedule [www.rpiathletics.com] RPI is playing SLU, not Cornell, in the Freakout!

Well we *are* there the second to last Saturday, which was the basis for the speculation. Whats the reason for changing the Freakout timing?!? I know... they're just chicken

The Freakout! has been on other weekends in the past, however recently it seemed to have settled down to the same weekend. Here is the history courtesy of Kurt Stutt: [www.augenblick.org]. As to being afraid of Cornell, RPI did take 3 of 4 points last year, although clearly Cornell had the superior team.

It's tempting to make a snotty comment about them not wa nting to break their whatever-year-long unbeaten streak, but it isn't as if Cornell would have busted it up last year, at least.

Edit: Ursa beat me to it.

There's little mystery to it:
a) Cornell is the tougher opponent in most years, recent results notwithstanding
b) Freakout more or less fills the RPI blimp hangar and so does Cornell, so RPI makes them separate events

The first statement is true, but how does one explain recent Freakout! games vs. Clarkson if the reason is to increase attendance at poorly attended games?


Just for the record, although it is widely rumored that the HFH was once a blimp hangar, indeed that is what I heard when I was a student, it actually had a more mundane first life as a Navy warehouse in Rhode Island [www.lib.rpi.edu].

Right. The shape is wrong for everything except low-rider blimps. Some people who've heard of its origin expect to see a huge corrugated aluminum half-tube, since Davisville, RI, from whence it came, is also the nearest town to the Quonset Point Naval Air Station.

(Boy, are we grasping at straws waiting for the red-white game. Or is white-red game? Maybe that merits its own thread ... )

Have the OOC games been announced?

There's info about who we're playing in this thread:
[elf.elynah.com]

I haven't seen actual dates for the games.

RIT announced their schedule and a trip to Ithaca is listed for October 28th. Oddly, in the press release there is no mention of Cornell being one of the Tigers' OOC opponents.

Will the iCal calendar be updated to reflect this year's schedule?

Does anyone know when the Florida games will be? I want to start looking for flights now so I don't have to pay ridiculous prices like last year when I waited till late November to get them.

That's what the season schedule Greg posted says too. I hope so as I already bought my tickes


Btw, for hotels I'm usually a big fan of Priceline's bidding, but for Florida in December it hasn't worked so great.

However, Hotwire, which doesn't show the name of the hotel until you buy, had a great deal on their 2.5 star (on a 1-->5 scale) category in Ft Myers for that time frame.

That's weird that it's on a Friday/Saturday, isn't it?

If I recall, they try to have it on the weekend every year unless it directly overlaps the holiday, in which case it gets moved to the middle of the week. Personally I prefer it on the weekend.

They've usually had it on Sat-Sun when it's been on the weekend, not Fri-Sat. I can't see them getting great attendance for the Friday day game. (Not that the attendance is ever "great"

Just annoying b/c this year it's so close to New Year's that if I go, I'd prob be spending New Year's in Florida, which wouldn't be that much fun. We'll see, I suppose.

Who says las224 is having fun right now?

I'm finishing up an internship in Sarasota for the summer. The nice thing is, my work has offered me a beachfront condo for a week if I want to come on vacation down here this winter. However, for New Year's, I'd prefer to be up north with all my closest friends.

Maybe I can drag them all down here for a beach party?

Sarasota, huh? We have a place on Siesta Key, one of the most incredible beaches I have ever walked on. Did you get a chance to visit?

so when are @harvard tickets going on sale?

Siesta Key was GORGEOUS. Absolutely loved it. The only other beach around that even came close was Longboat Key (a little bit north).

Anyone tried looking for the schedule on the official athetics website? They are still showing showing the following:

They have, however, updated their roster...as has the lacrosse team. (Note: The roster is updated as of tonight...thank you.)

Speaking of lacrosse, thanks to [westerncollegehockey.blogspot.com] and USHR, I learned that laxman Tommy Schmicker was a pretty good youth hockey player. Tommy, who's listed as 6'4" & 225, was pretty good in the 2002 Select 15 Festival -- coming out ranked ahead of 3 players who have been selected in the NHL draft and numerous others who currently play in big-time college programs. Too bad Tommy wasn't a d-man.

If us cheap SOB's paid $100 not $50 a year for Big Red sports webcasts then Cornell would have enough to money to improve the site ... maybe. Did President Skorton say anything about the quality of the Cornell sports site in his inaugural message, or did he stick to the tired old themes about academic excellence and a place for anybody in any course of study? Priorities, man.

There is now a "Cornell Hockey 2006-07" calendar available on Google Calendar, for those who use it (and those who don't really should - it's wondrous and marvelous). Just do a search for "Cornell hockey" and it'll come up, then click on "Add Calendar." All games will then automagically insert themselves into your calendar view, in a different color than your personal calendar items.

I haven't been to Starr for about 15 years; is it really an exceptionally bad / drunken atmosphere? I used to go to games there in the early 90's, and in fact went to a few non-Cornell games with a Colgate friend. Sat in the student sections. The fans were really loud and pretty lewd, but they weren't any drunker than the crowds at say the Gut or Thompson.

Absolutely. The Colgate student fans present for the Cornell @ Colgate games for the past three years have to be the worst I've seen in ECACHL hockey. (Admittedly, this is only over seven years of watching ECAC[HL] hockey, so your mileage may vary.) They have absolutely no problems with throwing things, like slices of pizza, at the Cornell fans. Their cheers are at best boring and at worst, at least in one instance, borderline homophobic. Colgate's student fans on that night are the worst college hockey has to offer.

Hello kettle, this is pot.

Most of our cheers are borderline homophobic as well, for the record. I'm not sure if thats a valid reason to criticize anyone else's fans.

The difference being even if we're a little crude, we're still there for the teams and the game, and can let things drop once the game is over. The Colgate fans, for the most part, probly dont give two shits about their team and are just there to cause trouble.

The students, perhaps. There used to be a huge townie contingent (the "woodchuck" -- a sort of snowy redneck) who were great fans, and really knew and appreciated the history of their team and the game. In the 80's, if you saw a Colgate hat at the ECACs 9 times out of 10 it was a townie fan who at least claimed to have hoisted brews with Terry Slater.

Hockey does go to Florida over winter break. And it's one of the few teams that has to at least consider the possibility of multiple post-season games.

For some reason I had temporarily forgotten about Florida. Probably because we go every year it doesn't stand out. Are we locked into this thing in perpetuity?

We are the co-host, so yes we're "locked" into it. I don't know if there's a contract or anything but I suspect we will continue as long as it's somewhat successful and continues to attract good teams.

I heard a rumor about two years ago that RPI will be at the Florida tourney in 07-08, however these things have a habit of changing over a period of several years. If RPI is going, there goes the run of "good teams".

To set the record straight, it looks like RPI is going to a different Florida tourney. From the RPI Alumni website:

RPI to Participate in the College Hockey Classic Tournament in Tampa Bay, Fla., Dec. 29-30, 2007
Participants for next year's tournament are scheduled to be RPI, Notre Dame, Colorado College, and UMASS-Amherst. The NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning has begun hosting an NCAA tournament at the St. Pete Times Forum in anticipation of hosting the 2012 Frozen Four. Mark your calendars for next year and plan to join us!

With the NHL venue and marketing, I'm sure the one that we're involved with will be viewed by the media as the "undercard." Also, I bet Notre Dame will be seen as the heavy favorites, followed by UMass.

Bizarrely enough, the most diligent Florida hockey media I've seen has been in Ft. Myers/Estero. Their sports page is almost entirely dedicated to hockey, or has been the few times in December I've looked at it. The truth is there isn't much sportsish going on down there except that Everblades team.

It did sound weird to me also.


The other thing is that I originally heard that RPI would be going to Florida in 07-08 during the summer of 2004. At that time, Tampa Bay had not yet been awarded the Frozen Four, so it would seem odd that a tourney would be scheduled there.

I'm just now noticing that the Wayne State games are listed as 8pm Saturday and 4pm Sunday, not 8pm Friday and 4pm Saturday as the Google Calendar someone prepared has been indicating all this time. I'm going to assume that the official website listing that says Saturday/Sunday is correct, but I'm also contacting the ticket office to be certain.

Did anybody ever actually own up to creating the Google Calendar?

Beeeej

Well that's annoying to say the least since I've been planning all along as though it was Fri and Sat. USCHO had it as Fri and Sat (which is the schedule that I had been relying on), but I see that Athletics website has it Sat and Sun. I'll have to check the tickets at home --although those things have their share of typos, so maybe a call to the ticket office is in order. If I get a moment later in the day I'll call and post what I'm told.

"ursa" is a female bear. "ursus" is a male bear. (Or would that be "baer"? )

Exactly. Several years ago, I started using "ursaminor" as login name on various boards because 1. "ursa" is Latin for bear and "Baer" (really "Bär" is German for bear, and 2. "minor" is Latin for little (or small or ...) and I am short. A while back, it was brought to my attention, perhaps by someone from this board, that "ursa", like "alumna", is a female form. Until Age recently made it easy to change login names, it wasn't worth the trouble to change things.
