Just got a note from Asst. Coach Ben Syer - tonight's game is on ESPN3. Here's the link:
[www.espn.com]
(Edit to add: The ESPN app seems to believe Cornell vs. Q is tomorrow night. It's on the Cornell men's hockey schedule for tonight, and on the ESPN website for tonight, but on the ESPN app for tomorrow night. Really not sure what the deal is. Trying to figure it out now - may just have to stream from the website instead of the app.)

Found the link for the stream on the app, but it's still in "Your Event Is About to Begin" mode. Anybody getting the stream on ESPN3?

Never mind - it's running, but appears to be quite a long way behind, since the stands are nearly empty. (Or it was a prerecorded intro, and the game will start in a moment. I'm being patient.)

Is anyone else having issues with the WHCU feed? I'm getting nothing but a political discussion and have to use the local QU feed from Hamden instead.

Empty stands? I believe Jason and Tony taped the intro for the video version well before gametime, thus no one in the stands.
The ESPN3 stream, same one as the ILDN, was running about 2 minutes ahead. Minutes not seconds.

As someone attended the game, I can say the there was a LOT of empty seats, any time I looked, during the game.... Very disappointing giving the fact that we had a national powerhouse (Q) playing here. The possibility of beating a team of that stature should have been interesting to even the most casual hockey fan in town/on campus....

Actually the crowd was reasonable, considering that fall break started for both CU & IC.

First game at Lynah tonight in about 5 years. I thought it was an energetic crowd, and the place seemed 85-90% full.

I guess we should stop wishing for 2003 levels of energy and start hoping for 2009 levels, when at least the rink was ~100% full (I wasn't really around before that timeframe).scoop85

As far as I know there's no break going on right now...The students should be there until Wednesday when the Thanksgiving recess starts. Some people always leave earlier but I would expect there to be a decent showing of students anyway. Home games before this break are nothing new.

Not sure what you mean about the band.
I hear that the Tuba song changed because the old song--"Swanee River"--was objectionable, and less than politically correct.
I'm pretty sure the cowbell guy has been a cowbell gal the last few years. There was no cowbell Friday night, so I guess one of the drummers in the band attempted it on a drum. Saturday night the cowbell was back, though I couldn't see who was playing it from my seat near the D aisle of Section C.

Swanee River originated as a minstrel song.

I thought it was the worst sounding band I ever heard from Cornell. We were discussing it during the game.
it didnt help the student side was asleep.
I know it was a cowgirl just wondered why there wasnt one friday.
If you aren't going to do a song that actually sounds like a tuba song dont substitute with a song that sounds like a little ditty, just give it up.

Oh FFS, let's be offended about a song while we yell at people to die and drop dead, what a joke. The new song sucks. That's an idiotic reason not to play Swanee. They seem to have no trouble with Gary Glitter, did they ever think maybe that is offensive to some people? Guess we need to have trigger warnings at the rink too now.

As a band alum, I am mortified by the lack of tuning. The trumpets, in particular, suck and do so loudly.
And it's taking conductors eons to start cheers. So many times, I hear a cutoff when the puck drops that would've been unnecessary if the band had started promptly.

Ultimately, shouldn't this be up to the band?

Ironically, the song they've chosen to use now, "Over There", I would think could also be seen as offensive by some. Below are the lyrics, copied from Google Play Music:
Johnnie, get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run
On the run, on the run
Hear them calling, you and me
Every son of liberty
Hurry right away
No delay, go today
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming
Everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there
Johnnie, get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle do or die
Pack your little kit
Show your grit, do your bit
Yankee to the ranks
From the towns and the tanks
Make your mother proud of you
And the old Red, White and Blue
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming
Everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there
Johnnie, get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run
On the run, on the run
Hear them calling, you and me
Every son of liberty
Hurry right away
No delay, go today
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming
The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming
Everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there
Johnnie, get your gun
Get your gun, get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle do or die
Pack your little kit
Show your grit, do your bit

Over there was awful, but if there is truly a proclamation against Swanee, there must be 50,000 songs with the correct cadence and four breaks.

It is particularly timely given that the cover story of the current Alumni Magazine issue is on the faithful and it specifically mentions Swanee as being a traditional fan cheer.

I think you're overestimating how much they'll care. The MSG games are rarely Lynah Writ Large™, so much as they are a couple hundred die-hard Lynah Faithful surrounded by thousands of people who know how to chant, "Let's Go Red" in a pinch.

Just try to avoid the Stephen Foster playbook altogether, though. I recently looked up the full lyrics to "Oh Suzannah".
