Re: 2005-06 Schedule - 19 years ago
1) Amen to all of Scersk's post... 2) Why cant we get teams like BU and Michigan on our schedule? I mean, yea, it would suck that that time would need to be at the beginning of the season. As a fan, I would much rather see a good team play and make it a close (or even win) rather than see us play Army and win by some staggering amount. Bottom line is that Cornell needs to play more TUCby abmarks - Hockey

OK- I wasnt promoting Sports Depot- Sports Grille is cool. But where the heck is sports grille? I don't know itby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Testing Altitude Alternate - 19 years ago
If we can get a *roll-call* for saturday- we could likely get a table in teh back and get audio as well....the tables are seperate enough from the main room that audio could be heard from that one TV or two.....by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Testing Altitude Alternate - 19 years ago
anyone go to the Depot? Or do i need to get off my but and check it personally?by abmarks - Hockey

jkahn Wrote: Will money going to the Alumni site increase the amount that the Pep Band actually gets or will it just be counted toward the Pep Band's fix allotment from the CU budget? In other words, is the Pep Band better off if we go though the Paypal account rather than the Alumni site?

Re: TV still unknown - get the game on TV!! - 19 years ago
Delta- Much as I want to see the game, I don't think that anyone is out to shaft the ECAC here. The problem is that the dips at the NCAA chose to schedule games at the same time as others. On Saturday afternoon, ESPNU has the choice of broadcasting Minny - Maine or UNH - Harvard since they are at the same time. If I were them, I'd pick the Minny-Maine game too if I am thinking ratings.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: regionals - watching in Boston - Sports Depot in Allston - 19 years ago
guys- we still don't know if any satellite channel is actually showing the saturday game live. Not so 100% in the clear yet..........by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Pep Band to Minnesota - 19 years ago
Pat- HOw about an email tho the BRBAA list? I'm sure a number of those people would donate if only they knew about the issue.... Arikby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Pep Band to Minnesota - 19 years ago
Another idea for the Band- contact the head of the boosters. Is it called the CHA or something? Whatever their name is, they might have money, or send an email to membership, or perhaps even call athletics on your behalf.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: complain to CU to get this game on TV - 19 years ago
ESPN will happily broadcast the game on a regional station- if said station PAYS for it!by abmarks - Hockey
Re: regionals - watching in Boston - 19 years ago
Delta- so far we are out of luck as even directTV's ESPNU channell is not showing our Saturday game (it's showing a quarterfinal from another reional instead.) We need to hope that one of the other networks picks up the game - NESN, Fox sports Midwest or similar.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: complain to CU to get this game on TV - 19 years ago
ANother option? Get the school to get a room and buy the feed for a private party in major cities with big alumni basses _NYC, DC, Boston etc. I'd pay $10 or more to go to a Cornell-rented Room with a feed of the game. I wonder if that's feasible?by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Adam Wodon on crack? - 19 years ago
marty Wrote: Adam, What I didn't like about the games both nights were the limited number of cameras but more to the point I wonder about the quality of the camera that was in the booth at center ice. It sure didn't make the game very easy to follow. I can't read a hell of a lot on the backs of the players in many of the shots and the puck was hard to follow from that camera, too. .by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Watch the game together in NYC - 19 years ago
calgARI '07 Wrote: The game will be shown live on ESPNU so make sure wherever you go has directTV. Actually, the Saturday game is NOT on ESPNU - there's a quarterfinal game from one of the other regions instead. ESPNU can only show one game at a time! They will syndicate it out, but it's not known yet who might pick up the game....by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Pep Band to Minnesota - 19 years ago
Way to go Da Bear and TimV! Lauren- maybe you should start a new thread so people will see this idea - something like "Need Donations so Pep Band can get to Minny"? (I'd give but long term unemployment doesn't help the finances...)by abmarks - Hockey

icethepuck Wrote: Just think.. I f we played 5 more games, and only increased our "quality wins" by, say 2, what seed would we have, and where would we play. Somebody else, besides me, has got to get our Pres. off a stick and get the ivies to play 34 games like the re st of the hockey world. We are always at a disadvantage if we play only 7 NC games a year. Enuff said.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: how in bloody heck to get to MN - 19 years ago
After playing on ATA's site, its through the nose to fly on Sat/Sun, but per Jeff's post above, if you can take the 6am on Friday and return on Monday you are back around $300. Minny is also a northwest hub, so if you aren't in a heavily northwest-gated city, you'll have higher fares tooby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs OSU on TV? - 19 years ago
I've been teetering on the edge of going to direct TV for a while now...It's actualy cheaper for me than Cable anyway....this may be the topper.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell Will Win In Minnesota - 19 years ago
OK -I slightly retract my admonishment of SPerris ATA from Boston to MSP is $315 roundtrip if you leave 6am on Friday and return 1030pm Monday. I'd looked through southwest's website before and found the 299+244 price...by abmarks - Hockey
Re: We let them decide it on the ice - 19 years ago
Go back and check the NCAA final four ratings - I'm pretty sure you'll find them down below candlepin bowling. I don't expect any NHL to NCAA Crossover. Lots of NHL final watchers are facetimers.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs OSU on TV? - 19 years ago
If Michigan wins against Wisconsin I bet we are hosed. Most likely syndication partner would be fox detroit, and they'd show Michigan-whoever over OSU Cornell. MAybe the cable company will pick it up for ithaca, but I bet everyone else gets hosed.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: We let them decide it on the ice - 19 years ago
Calgari- FF ratings? The ratings are next to zero REGARDLESS of who is playing. If you are arguing about money, I think gate attendance is a better argument.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs OSU on TV? - 19 years ago
no joy pestering espnu. The game isnt on because there is another game scheduled at the same time that they are showing. THey have the second round Grand Rapids game on instead.... Wisconsin/Michigan vs. Colgate/CC Mar. 26 5:00 ETby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Pep Band to Minnesota - 19 years ago
ouch. well what about the ithaca journal?by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Pep Band to Minnesota - 19 years ago
Make sure to get an Article in Monday's Sun! You can't just make plane reservations at the last minute so you'll need the money fast. And there is nothing like public pressure to move the higher-ups. (Just don't look like the source of the article ) Any Sun sportswriters reaeding this? There's an article just waiting to be written!by abmarks - Hockey
