Well since the games are now less than a week away, I figured it's time to get this started.
I'll be there both days with sen'08
Who else is heading down for the perfect pairing of palm trees and hockey?

I was planning on it, but apparently "sign up for the shifts you'd like to work over the holidays" is code for "screw you guys, I'm putting you wherever I damn well please."

Total of six in our group. This is a great tournament, perhaps a little more prestigious 3-4 years back when Ohio State and Notre Dame played and we were on national TV (well, CSTV available nationwide). Both ND and TOSU (have they gotten off that The Ohio State kick yet?) have a lot of alumni support. Ushers are friendly and the concessions stands don't require applying for additional student aid. If you're visting family and some of the group aren't monster college hockey fans, the mall in the same parking lot (big, big lot) can occupy them for doubleheader.
By going every other year for the past, I believe, six years, we've managed to see every Cornell tournament championship and none of the tournament losses. Would that Cornell's luck holds this year.

I think there's plenty of room for most of us in this particular chorus.

Oh that tourney in Florida! I'll be at the more prestigious tourney in Tampa.
Sadly, I'll be cheering for the cupcake team there.

Won't be there this year, sadly. Flights are too expensive and I don't have the patience to drive it.

The fact that you don't have to make it with me might.

I'll be there, too.
Don't forget to come up to the Hospitality area to buy Cornell hockey gear including t shirts, sweatshirts, and hats.
Also, raffle tickets are for sale, $10 each or 3 for $20. The grand prize is a hockey stick signed by the 07/08 team. We have two sticks to give out, one for each day. The drawing will be held between 2nd and 3rd period each day and tickets roll over to day two.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

I didn't find out until game-time, but my role was trying to pull in an incredibly weak WHCU as I drove back to CT across the Southern Tier Expressway. I caught the pregame as I got on the road, but then the sun went down and WHCU dropped the broadcast power. I heard one Scali pass in between lots of New Orleans Saints talk on WWL (I can tell you how most Saints fans weigh in on the question "playoffs or layoffs." PM me for details). The next time I heard Jason's voice was when he was telling me that tomorrow's game starts at 4 pm as he was wrapping up the post-game show.
BTW, most of the game-time drive, I was within 30 miles of Ithaca. I could pull in just about every Ithaca FM station just fine. *cough*

Rich, when WHCU made the change from FM to AM, many years ago, I raised a lot hell about it. As someone who lives in the Elmira-area, I can no longer listen to the away games. At the time of the change, I wrote to the station and I wrote to every sponsor. In my letters to the sponsors, I pointed out just how much less "bang for the buck" their advertising dollars were getting out of advertising on CU Hockey AM broadcasts (versus FM). Obviously, none of my efforts were effective.
WHCU is locked in on this concept that there are better uses for their FM transmitters (than broadcasting CU Hockey). Despite the fact that other schools/teams broadcast on FM, I don't see WHCU changing any time soon.
If anyone out there knows anyone in management at that station, now group of stations, a little well-placed pressure at the top might be helpful.

Anyone want to make a donation to change this sign to "Lynah South"? It's directly above the Cornell section.

I would make a donation to help bring the band/mini-band. Lauren and Rich... my nephew missed you. He was disappointed that there wasn't a band this year.
He has kept his streak alive of falling asleep during the second game. Unfortunately, he is getting too big for me to carry out of the arena!
Here's hoping the team left that dreadful PP "strategy" and the post-exam rust in Florida.
