JasonN95 The Rancor "ref beats his wife" is one long gone, and good riddance. Sadly, 3 blind mice is gone, with the addition of the fourth official. Long Diiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee always bothered me, but I've lived with it. Combining that cheer with the other distasteful “the ref f*cks sheep” into “the ref beats his sheep” did amuse me.

Trotsky Jeff Hopkins '82 upprdeck half the places we are trying to recruit you cant even fly to To be fair, you can barely fly to Ithaca. Compañía Panameña de Aviación, S.A., the flag carrier of Panama, flies direct to Ithaca from Lima and Bogota. Actually, Copa is a decent airline. I've flown them many times. And PTY is a nice airport,too.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: "When The Red Come Skating In" - 1 year ago
Dunc Trotsky There are wonderful things from the 80s and 90s I miss, just as there are from the 60s and 70s the dirty hippies among us miss. This may be better for a different thread, but here is probably fine too Not necessarily for revival purposes, but more for my own curiosity, what are some of peoples fav traditions from 60s-90s that died off over time I miss throwing sieves on thby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - stay (home) or go? - 1 year ago
Dafatone billhoward 360 miles Ithaca to Manchester NH for the NCAA Regional to play the defending national champ. 300 miles for us coming out of Metro NY (NJ). Allentown or Bridgeport would've been fine. Manchester is a reach for Cornell fans unless they're well into New England (Westport and Greenwich don't count).

billhoward PS 2024 regionals below. Maryland? • Maryland Heights Regional: Centene Community Ice Center, Maryland Heights Maryland Heights, Missouri. It's a suburb of St.Louis. The rink is tiny. According to anything I can find, it seats between 4000 and 4500.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Chris '03 Jeff Hopkins '82 I went to the Ticket-shafter site about an hour ago. There were a lot fewer seats available than I thought there'd be. I assume the four schools get an allotment that are held back from general sale for at least a few days. Probably. It looks like there are whole sections in the lower bowl that are blocked out. In fact, every other section in the lower bowl is shby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
I just went to the Ticket-shafter site. There were a lot fewer seats available than I thought there'd be. I'd estimate 800 or so. And it doesn't look like they're selling the upper bowl.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

upprdeck it was a long time until anyone who didnt win a conf could go to the NCAA.. many years the 4-5th best team in the countr stayed home OK, that explains 23.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports
Re: 2023 ECAC Post Season - 1 year ago
billhoward CU2007Putting an off-day in the regionals was the worst possible idea anyone could have come up with. ... for the fans. Giving the players an extra day to recuperate, that's not so bad. Making two day trips to Allentown or Bridgeport is cheaper than hotel rooms for metro NY fans. To Manchester, it's either get a hotel room or watch the broadcast. Or crash at your sister's plaby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

At least Cornell got a mention during the TV coverage as one of only three Ivy League teams to previously make it to the sweet 16. The other 2 were both Penn. It was a smaller tournament in 1965 -- so there was no Sweet Sixteen, just 23 teams invited -- but Princeton did make it to thby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports
