I'll be there - will probably join the group watching the basketball game at a local bar, then head to the KnipsiUniobocker to catch the last part of the early game. I'm part of a rather large group, but most of them will speak up for themselves in this thread, so as far as that goes: me + mha.

Me, my wife Jaime, and my daughters who will be making the trip to Albany for the first time. The older daughter was at Lake Placid in '96 and '97, but since she was 2 and 3 years old remembers little, other than being taken out on the ice between periods in her Cornell sweatshirt by the bear (Margot P.) The younger daughter was not born yet, so this will be her first championship weekend.

Definitely be there. Want to find a bar or sports bar nearby to watch Cornell basketball. It seems possible to watch hoops, last period of Yale-St. Lawrence, and then the Cornell-Princeton nightcap.

Unless you're talking about the "vintage" pre-Harkness shirts with the diagonal "Cornell". the ones with the bear on the shoulder, or the awful late 70's art deco shirt.

In years CU has won the Whitelaw, the big celebratory gathering was always at Jillian's on Pearl St. Hopefully, that's where the Saturday gathering will be again this year!

Except for the year it wasn't. In 2005, Jillian's wouldn't let the underage players in and I think everyone ended up back in the Crowne Plaza bar.

Right, right. But I still think a good number of CU fans who were already inside stayed. The Cup & team did go to the Crowne Plaza bar. Actually, because Jillian's management acted like jerks that year is the reason why I didn't suggest them for this year's pre-game basketball viewing gathering place.

I thought we were in the Crowne Plaza for two years, but I think one of those did not involve the Whitelaw.

One of those definitely did not involve the Whitelaw. It did involve a certain 6-2 drubbing by Harvard, however...

I wasn't passing judgment. I own the Dryden one. I'm just saying "old style" implies they wore something like it in the past.

I called the Bayou Cafe today. They basically said that they don't take reservations or anything, but if we showed up they would put the game on for us.

It's about 3 blocks north of the Arena on Pearl St.
