beer darts?

according to the Young Alum facebook group "Here's a fun fact - Saturday's Cornell-Michigan hockey game at MSG was a sell out and 14,000 of the 17, 200 in attendance were Cornell fans! #LGR!"

I just checked the sucks ticketing page and there are limited seats available... very limited... mostly pairs but I was able to grab 4 together

The guy I talked to said they were "probably" going to charge cards when seats were assigned.

I thought it was interesting that when I called to order tickets the CU ticket office told me they couldn't issue actual seats because of  the MSG renovation this summer. The guy I spoke with said they're waiting until after the renovation to do the seat assignments. However, BU fans I've talked to already have their seating assignments. Has anyone heard differently?

Anyway, munchkin and myself +9 will be somewhere in the cheap seats

Did they break that attendance record?

both video and audio feeds have a tendency to come and go as they please... not necessarily at the same time.

I asked my friend who graduated from Brown last year if she'd ever heard of the Sugar Bears. Here is her reply:
"yeah for a second i was even thinking maybe our pole dancing team lol they're outrageous and trashy" then she actually looked it up and its their pom team...

A friend in ATX sent me this email.  Nice event but I  thought it was interesting considering Sawada's been IR since 2/3.... unless I missed something?


(original email sent 2/21)

The Cornell Club of Austin would like to invite you and your guests to join your fellow alumni as we cheer on fellow Cornellian Raymond Sawada '08 and the Texas Stars as they take on the Houston Aeros on Saturday, March 5th at the Cedar Park Arena!

A quick bio: Raymond Sawada played all 4 years at Cornell (with 2 NCAA appearances) before being drafted in the 2nd round to the Dallas Stars organization. Last year, Ray and the Texas Stars made their incredible run to the Calder Cup finals. To top off his pro resume, he has played 5 regular games with the Dallas Stars, scoring a goal in his NHL debut!

Now for the event details:

To buy tickets, call: Rebekah Hurley @ 512-600-5011 or rhurley@texasstarshockey.com (see attached flyer).

You can purchase your tickets through the Stars representative and they will place them at the will-call booth under your name. Be sure to tell them you're with the Cornell Alumni group to get the quoted rate and be seated together.

There will be an early dinner around 4pm. The location is TBD and we'll get those details out to you as soon as they're finalized.

From there, we can leave our cars at the parking lot and carpool over to the Cedar Park Arena, arriving around 5:45PM where we will participate in the "Ride the Bench" activity where we will SIT ON THE BENCH while both teams warm up. (disclaimer) There will be minimal protection from flying pucks that come towards the bench so please keep that in mind! This activity is optional and is limited to 20 people.

The game itself starts at 7pm.

Keep in mind that each car costs $10 for parking so I highly encourage everyone to carpool. If you are not joining us for the pre-grame event, please note that there will be a lot of traffic getting to the Arena so the sooner you get to the arena, the better.

Please RSVP as soon as possible to Peter Wang at pw33@cornell.edu or call/text 713-302-3412 and cite whether you will be joining us for dinner and the pre-game activity. There are only 30 tickets and 20 spaces on the "Ride the Bench" event so first come, first serve.

Cornell has a proud hockey tradition, being ECAC 2010 champs with regular appearances to the NCAA tournament. Its great to see Cornell and such a talented hockey team as the Texas Stars come together right here in Austin! So come out and support your fellow Cornellian and the Stars!

this was my favorite part

QuoteHarvard students with a valid ID can pick up for free tickets to this weekend's games

tickets for free? four free tickets? do they have four fans to give tickets to?

Munchkin and I will be at sucks and dartmouth +1

well on the bright side, when i got the darn thing up and running again, my video was far enough behind that I at least got to see the goal. haha.

did the redcast audio just drop out for anyone else?

I just went to renew mine (purchased last year 10/24 so it had expired) and the website states that they are good for one year after purchase so any ordered after 10/29 last year should still work.  Also, the hockey only option is up  LGR!

I wish they'd finalized this earlier... I'm not going pay to change my train ticket back to NYC after the holiday for Colgate. Especially after I moved it when they started talking about it and changed it back when it looked like it wasn't happening.  This time, the price jump just isn't worth it.
