I dont know what kind of a crowd to expect this weekend. An electric atmoshpere like we had against havard and colgate this year or the crowd that shows up but doesnt make much noise. I think we have to try and get an electric atmosphere possible. Make it like a harvard atmosphere. Make shure there is no way that clarkson is going to to come into Lynah rink, the best crowd in the nation, and pull the upset like they did last year.
I like Ari's red shirt idea:-}
We could make "Traylen eats babies" and "Latulippe has syphilis" signs. :-D
Hey, come on... at least be more creative than that. If Nickerson has syphilis, make it Latulippe has chlamydia or something.
Will, I'll pay for your posterboard if you make a sign that says "daredevilcu has chlamydia" and it's visible in the online video broadcast. B-]

When we need help being creative from a Clarkson fan we'll let you know. (Don't hold your breath.)

I'll make that sign, and I know him. And I'll do it for free. :-D
Even better. Sorry Will, the offer is rescinded. :-P
Which of these is best for my sign this weekend?
Clarkson: Rensselaer Rejects
Clarkson: Couldn't Get Into St. Lawrence?
Clarkson: Damn I wish I'd gotten into SUNY Potsdam

Oh come on, you know as well as I do that Laulippe, having "played" with Nickerson probably did contract his other diseases, but most definitely contracted the highly potent strain of syphilis infesting that goon.
If I see that sign at Lynah I will personally go over and shake the hand of whoever's holding it and introduce myself.
Well, quite obviously the only one that would make any sense at all would be the RPI Rejects -- but I was accepted there.
Well, since you apparently only know of one VD that the hockey players could've contracted (syphilis) then it seems you either need a new disease or you skipped your 6th grade sex ed classes. BCrespi does make a fair point about them "playing together" but still... come on. You guys can do better than that.
How would you feel about a sign that said 'Jefferson Community College Rejects'? Oh wait, I don't care.

I really want to see that sign at Lynah. Mostly because it would be hilarious, partly because I think collegehumor would consider it extremely tool-ish to pick on someone's screen name who you don't even know.
How about old-timey self-referentiality:
"YOUR KNIGHTS ARE AW... FUL!"
Ah, the old Roundtable... good times.
I can guarantee that it will be extremely loud near me. :-D I'm returning to Lynah for the first time in almost 2 decades, so my lungs and vocal chords are well rested and ready to give Clarkson hell. :-)
How about a nice steady chant of "Latulippe is a pansy."

Student playoff attendance has been terrible the last few years. Now that they've included playoff tickets with season tickets for students, hopefully it will be better, or at least as good as a regular season game. Compared to big chunks of empty seats the last few years, I'll even take regular-season levels.

These games have been officially sold out since last week (I think they announced the sell out last Monday or Tuesday). So, how do we get the students who typically show up after the national anthem and introductions to be in their seats before 7:00? The students are such a powerful force of nature it's a shame when they're late.

I have heard that 5 of Cornell's 9 schools are accredited SUNY. I don't know how true that is, but that's where the comment comes from.
9 schools? Cornell has certainly expanded a lot since I graduated 2 years ago!
3 of Cornell's 7 undergraduate schools/colleges, and 1 of the 6 graduate schools are partially state supported, as Cornell is NYS's land grant university.
So youre saing Cornell is going to join the Big 10 Hockey Conference? :-P
Like I said... no idea how true that is. Schools meaning school of agricultural sciences, school of veterinary medicine, school of engineering... etc.

Good luck- won't ever happen unless you've got students that don't like to drink. Evidently gettting hammered before a game (and during) is more fun than catching the game. I'm notjust singling out Ithaca either, it seems to happen at a lot of schools.

When I first started attending games (early 90s) the rink was a heck of a lot more fulll at gametime than it is now and by all accounts it was packed for warmups in olden times.
Did the games start at 7:00 or 8:00 then? I wouldn't be surprised if the stands were more full at gametime if the starting time was later. I still don't see why it's hard to get to a 7:00 game on time even if you do want to drink beforehand.
Hey, I think I found out how Nickerson got syphillis.

I know the insult and I know what it means, so have your fun. But just to throw some facts in, yes, 3 of the 7 undergrad schools are partially state supported - i.e. state residents get lower tuition due to some state funding. Those are Agriculture, Human Ecology, and Industrial and Labor Relations. Engineering, Arts & Sciences, Hotel Management, and Architecture, Art, & Planning are completely private.
I don't know about the grad schools, but I'll take Ben's word for it. The 6 are Law, Business, Vet, Medicine (in NYC), and um - what would the other two be now? There's the general 'Graduate School' which handles all the grad programs (in some ways) for the undergraduate schools. Is Hotel grad seperate?
As far as 'accredited SUNY', I don't think that phrase even makes any sense, does it? That's like saying a car is 'accredited Nissan'. Either its a Nissan or its not - it may be made by a partner or a subsidiary of Nissan, but that doens't make it 'accredited Nissan'.
Anyway, back to your good-natured, intentionally immature ribbing :)

Delta,
I'm pretty sure they count the Medical Research Center in NYC as a grad school in addition to the Med College, so add that to vet, law, JGSM, and Grad School for 6
Pretty soon, I'm sure they'll start talking more about the Med College in Doha, Qatar and the Bridging the Rift Center that Stanford and us are involved in in Jordan I believe

You heard wrong. I have 2 Cornell degrees: one from the Ag school and one from the grad school. Neither says SUNY anywhere on it, and both say Cornell.
In 1862, the Morrill Act granted each state 30,000 acres of public land for each Senator and Representative (based on the 1860 census). Cash raised by selling this land was to be invested in an endowment to provide support for colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts in each state.
Cornell is the home of NY's Morrill Land Grant Colleges, with two notable exceptions: the NYS School of Forestry (at Syracuse University) and the NYS College of Ceramics (at Alfred University).
In 1948, the SUNY system was created. The School of Forestry was integrated into the SUNY system and is known today as SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). However, it is *not* part of Syracuse. In contrast, the College of Ceramics at Alfred and Cornell's 3 undergraduate statutory colleges (Ag, HumEc, ILR) are in fact controlled and run by their respective host institutions.
The confusion arises because of a lack of understanding of what the term statutory college (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_college) means.
Anyway, today, Cornell has 7 undergrad colleges - 4 are 'endowed' (A&S, Hotel, Eng, AAP) while the other 3 are 'statutory' (Ag, HumEc, ILR). As a student in a statutory college, you are technically limited to a maximum of 55 credits (out of 120) in the endowed college but frankly I never knew anybody that got close to the limit. The one exception I knew of is Ag&Bio Engineering; you paid 3 years of Ag tuition and 1 year of Eng tuition.
Cornell Endowed tuition is $30,000.
Cornell Statutory tuition is $15,870/$28,400 (in state/ out of state).
SUNY tuition is $4,350.
In short, Cornell gets money from the state but isn't a SUNY.
(Here is the specific NYS code that establishes the statutory colleges at Cornell (http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?cl=30&a=107).)
Unfortunately, I'm closer than I'd like to be to that endowed credit limit. It's not as impossible as it sounds, especially when they count the classes they make you take (Chemistry, Physics, Math, etc.), that you don't want to take anyway, against you. In some cases (re: mine) one might take some stupid elective courses that end up costing him or her down the road. Oh well. With most upper-level courses coming from a student's major it isn't usually a big deal, but it can happen.

I guess John's explanation (and Wilkpedia, insofar as one can ever trust it) answers my recurring question about First Amendment limitations on Cornell. It would seem that Cornell is a completely private institution, regardless of the statutory funding, and therefore not bound by the First Amendment limitations of government actions in the way that SUNY would be. Cornell is, of course, subject to any statutory restrictions.

[q]Not totally unbound.

(Just ask Bob Jones University.)[/q]Certainly, but those rules are statutory in origin. Congress could pass a law outlawing speech codes at any college or university receiving federal funding and Cornell would be bound by that rule. But a student couldn't sue a private university on the grounds that a speech code violated his constitutional rights (or wouldn't win, anyway). A student at a public university could do so .
Not to burst your bubble, but he's from Saratoga Springs.
I ran into the problem of not having the min number of ag credits, not having too many endowed. Going into second semester senior year i needed something like 9 credits 7 from ag.
I'm travelling all the way from California to Ithaca for this one. And I was there in 1970. Time for the crowd to help win it all...
