Re: Cornell 3 Clarkson 1: Just Win, Baby - 11 years ago
I believe it's Clarkson that's notorious for starting to play when the tubas begin Swanee, no?by Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: Red Cast Really Sucks - 11 years ago
It's more confounding to me that it would be so inconsistent than if it were simply terrible every game. Looks like they won't get my $ for the 3rd or 4th straight year.by Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: Notre Dame to ACC - 11 years ago
jtn27 RichH ugarte UConn only draws interest in NYC from people who moved from Connecticut to the city. And SNY has a contract to show UConn football and both Men's and Women's basketball. Does anyone actually watch SNY when they're not showing a Mets game? (Same goes for the Yankees and YES). Sometimes I watch YES. Sometimes you just can't deny the appeal of Yankeeography: Shane Spenceby Jordan 04 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell hockey at MSG every year - 11 years ago
Aaron M. Griffin I do not think Michigan State travels well as much as I would love to watch a Cornell-Sparty game, and unlike programs like Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State MSU does not have as many national fans who are unaffiliated with the University which would be a major detriment to selling out The Garden. From what I know, I may be wrong, Sparty does not refuse to travel East, so I thby Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: Michigan-Cornell@MSG - 11 years ago
WillR For those that missed the game, is there any video out there of the game or even just highlights? In other news, nice to have some success at MSG. Game will be replayed at 4:30 pm today on MSG. Presumably an eLF'er who knows how could tape it (if someone didn't already last night) and post highlights.by Jordan 04 - Hockey

Hopefully it will be fine. If not AC, then hopefully Albany.by Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: Red Cast Really Sucks - 11 years ago
The last few seasons I've waited to see the comments here re: Redcast before purchasing the product. They haven't had any of my money since spring of 2010. CC free audio stream was very good last night. Very competent announcer compared to what we normally get from our fellow ECAC broadcasts.by Jordan 04 - Hockey

Re: Men's Preseason - 11 years ago
RichH snert1288 Trotsky Summary of pre-season predictions here. If anybody knows of others, please post them. INCH came out with their ECAC Preview yesterday. Big Red is sitting on top! One of the last things they ever did. Did not realize they were "and ESPN Associate", whatever that means. Guess that wasn't enough to keep them going?by Jordan 04 - Hockey

Re: ECAC back to Lake Placid 2014 - 11 years ago
RichH Jordan 04 Hence my confusion that Hagwell would look to address this after they committed to the location. How aware do you think Hagwell and the league were that this was a concern? I don't know. I have no way of knowing (or even estimating) that.by Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: ECAC back to Lake Placid 2014 - 11 years ago
Trotsky Jordan 04Presumably they were the highest bidder for the tournament, so apparently they see some value in bringing the business to their town that weekend. There's a difference between the building's management group and the hotel community. The hotels need commitments -- why should they risk having thousands of late cancellations if the big fan bases lose in the QF? What enticement cby Jordan 04 - Hockey
Re: ECAC back to Lake Placid 2014 - 11 years ago
Trotsky Jordan 04Indeed. But it's quite clear what sway the league has over determining where their own tournament is held. As in, "Hey LP organizers, if this hotel thing continues to be a problem, I'm not sure this location is the best one for our fans." I think you may be overestimating the amount of business the ECACs bring in. My impression of LP is that it's fed in winter by skiby Jordan 04 - Hockey

If I remember from last year, there is a online or podcast replay afterward. I plan on asking about the hotel situation. Maybe someone wants to ask about official date for coaches practices.

Re: Cornell at Harvard in football - 11 years ago
jkahn Jordan 04 Audio available free from WHRB. Rough start for Cornell. Thanks. Down 21-0 in 2nd quarter. Highlight so far, Harvard student announcer trying to figure out how many yards to go on third down, says "I can't do math." Bet he still got an A in math class, though. Nice little turnaround, with a missed Harvard FG and a quick TD drive for the Red. 21-7. Defense isby Jordan 04 - Other Sports
