An invitation
The results of the current eLynah polls make me very happy. It's great to see increasing fan engagement in lacrosse on this forum. Now it's time to take the next step.
Please come to tomorrow's game against Penn at 3 p.m. at Schoellkopf. There's no better way to celebrate the coming of spring than sitting in the Crescent and soaking up a game. The timing is perfect: the weather forecast is good, the opponent is a hated league rival that has beaten us twice in the last three years, the hockey season's over (and Lynah season ticket holders may get free entrance), and you'll see the best and most exciting team in any sport in the region.
If you've never seen a game before, I guarantee you you'll enjoy it. I'm bringing a few nice Cornell lax souvenirs to the game, including one of the famous "21" t-shirts honoring the passing of George Boiardi (as well as Eamon McEneaney and Jay Gallagher) and a few t-shirts commemorating the 1971 national championship team. I'll give them to the first few people who've never been to a Cornell lax game before who contact me with a private message and stop by to meet me at the game. Even if you're not a lax newbie, contact me. I'd enjoy meeting any of you who've done so much to help increase the quality and frequency of lax discussion on this board.
If only Schoellkopf was closer to Pasadena, CA I'd be there. :)

We're on our way to Warsaw--and that's NOT Wausau. But we'll be at Brown, Hillel!
Damn, really wish I was closer too, Hillel. That's a lovely invitation. I'll echo Al that I'll be at Brown. Any chance you may make a New England trip this year?
Meanwhile, to anyone else, I highly encourage you to listen to Hillel and head out to Schoellkopf. When I finally got up the effort to go to my first lacrosse game, I never regretted it. It was fun, and exciting, and a great new experience. And that day the weather was awful and I had to hide up under the walkway most of the game! But it was still well worth it. A lacrosse game on a lovely day is not to be missed - and the time is reasonable even by college standards! :)
Sadly, I'm out-of-town on Saturday. I'll be attending the Harvard game next week, however.
LGR...
I'll be there, likely for both games.
Hope to catch up to you in the Crescent, Hillel.
