Title: Hockey-cam … to be, or not to be?
Post by: Bjammin 03 on September 12, 2003, 01:46:41 PM
Howdy folks,

After reading all of this talk of "unofficial lines" and ticket line procedures it occurred to me ...  for the first time I will not be in attendance for our beloved home games at Lynah. Bringing me to beg the question, are those who cannot make it to the games going to have a way of watching them on the web? In other words, does Athletics plan on running the "hockey-cam" or something of that nature?

I'm sorry to resurrect this ghost but now that I am not in Ithaca it has become a relevant issue to me (and many others).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ~ Ben

Go to the schedule page for Cornell Men's Hockey and you get a link for "Check out the Hockey Web Cam".

( http://cornellbigred.ocsn.com/sports/m-hockey/sched/corn-m-hockey-sched.html )

By which they probably mean maybe.

Don't worry about bringing up the topic again... I am sure we would have gotten around to it soon enough.

Give me a clue.  I can't find the link for "Check out the Hockey Web Cam".

I think that the page was changed recently.  I saw the hockey cam link there recently - or possibly on another page.

On another related topic there is a link on the USCHO page for Cornell to "Internet Broadcast".  It links to the following page:

http://cornellbigred.ocsn.com/

And the football audio broadcasts there are available for the $6.95 per month subscription to the College Sports Pass as they were last year.

I was hoping that the audio might be free as it had been in seasons previous to last year.  Oh, well!!:-/

The page did indeed change... and not long after my post.  I wonder if anyone from the AD reads the eLF?  If so, they can spend a couple of hours catching up on the great job they did on student ticket sales.

First we'll get the older Faithful by charging for radio and offering an inferior service and then we'll get the younger folks by making it a fun challenge to get a ticket.  And they can't even sell more radio subscriptions this way since those folks are on campus (unless they go internet broadcast only).

I mean, they are trying.  In one sense of the word at least.
