Re: '05-'06 Hockey Schedule - 19 years ago
I'm glad the return game with Niagara is in Rochester instead of Buffalo. That should be a fun trip and there's a chance BCA sells out -- not quite as big a deal as playing RIT would be (for the locals), but it'll be interesting to see if Rochester hockey fans turn out.

Re: lax tourney - 19 years ago
I think Cornell got screwed. It's hard for me to argue with that, though I believed they played the fewest number of games against top-10 teams (according to RPI). SOS...hmm, this seems like a Big Red refrain this year. Maybe instead of Binghamton Cornell should play Hopkins or UVA? I personally think any team that makes it to 22 straight final fours deserves a chance, as long as they meet minby ithacat - Hockey
