My desk, my computer. Apologies but all seats are taken.

Does anyone prefer Westchester to NYC? I can possibly make a few phone calls if there's some interest. There are a few bars in White Plains that will show all the games, but I can see about getting a room or at least a small area reserved.

Obviously, I'll make sure that they're willing to give us a TV with NHL Network immediately after.

Email me: mikegberg [at] aol. I'll post back when and if I have something, but I don't want to clutter this forum with chatter.

Our bar hosts have been very gracious to show the game on one of their
televisions, so please help them plan accordingly by RSVPing in
advance.

I sent an e-mail to the organizers of the Chicago event to try to get the event extended and a tv reserved with the NHL network. It would help if some others who are in the Chicago area would express a similar interest. Maybe we can get wrestling on at tv too?

Albany. Basement of the Pepsi Center, next to the Mens' room door. Several hundred people expected.

Or if you prefer a nicer establishment:

Downtown Albany:
Bayou Cafe
79 N. Pearl St.
Albany, NY

3 Blocks from the Hockey Arena

Alternate: I'm sure Jillian's will have it on.

Success! We got Harry Caray's to agree to show the hockey game after the basketball game. I'll post a thread in the hockey forum.

Kudos to the mod who changed the subject line here.

Well, I don't know how good TU wireless is, but I've been watching bball on NCAA.com. The CBS broadcast is great. So if you've got a laptop you can try watching bball during the first hockey game in Albany.

Is indeed on Channel 6 but beware it is on channel 6-2. If using Time Warner Cable this is channel 1896.

I don't want to be responsible for a game thread, but we're already looking better than last year! 6-6 15:26 to go in first.

24-23 Missouri with 2:41 to go in the first half.

edit: 29-25 Missouri at the half.

This is getting ugly: 56-40 with a little under 12 minutes left. Cornell is having to work hard for open looks ... and then missing them. Foote is having a lot of trouble inside. Mizzou is really starting to find its offensive rhythm. The ball movement is dizzying and they are hitting from outside to boot.

That is why I'm not so into basketball. The line between acceptable body contact and not is very confusing to me. The foul on the Cornell player for elbowing a guy that barely gave him 2 inches of space to me is the price you should be willing to play for Defense.

I wish Cornell could get a few more shots to fall.

ETSU is giving Pitt a run for its money. Will it happen?

Bleh. Cornell loses by 19.

Great, great season from Cornell. This team really has made Cornell and Ithaca very proud.

The basketball season is over, but the hockey season is just beginning. And our lacrosse team is for real.

Does anybody know if the Cornell Club in NY ever got the Cornell-Missouri basketball game on? I heard that it showing the local CBS feed, which was the Pitt-E. Tenn St. game, so I went elsewhere with some alums.
