Wearing my jersey at the office party today as a stand in for a Santa costume. Close enough.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear $250 was for two. I sent my request in today.

Just wondering if the process of obtaining a jersey is the same as stated in the FAQ:

"Acquiring a jersey from the Teagle issue room is actually quite a straight forward process with the proper information in hand. You need to contact William Reynolds (wlr5 at cornell.edu) via email to let him know you are interested. You then simply need to stop by the issue room during the week between 10am and 4pm to pick up your jersey. The jerseys are $100 apiece and have had the name plates and captain's letters removed."

I would guess there are different times during the year that jerseys are available. Would this be correct and if so when are jerseys typically available?

Thanks.

Well before my time in Ithaca but thought somebody might find this interesting.

"University Installs Fences on Campus Bridges"

Looks great!! Can it be made into a cheer now?

Well, for a packaged deal that includes tickets to a 4:00 game, a 4:00 check-in is a little inconvenient.

What's the deal with the 4:00 check-in time at the Hilton Garden?

Looks like Molson wanted some publicity photos. I can see some exec saying "Hey you know what would fun? If you'd go party it up on the ice and take this magnum of Molson Canadian with ya." Very spontaneous like.

Though I think it was in poor taste, having looked at the photos, i'd say it wasn't a big deal. Fans had left the US team was gone. IOC should sound off on it but no action against team Canada should be taken.

Are those passes for the entire weekend or just tickets for the day you stay over?

If student tickets did not sell out, do they sell them as part of the release on Thursday morning?

Is this case now at Lynah?

I would consider the number of entertainment outlets competing for a student's attention as a main contributor to a perceived fall in support and no the quality of the team, which is quite high. Syracuse tries to fill in the empty seats by offering an incentive to their students.

The Athletic's student point system offers points for various athletic events attended by students throughout the year. Students would swipe their ID card and points will automatically be added to their account. At the end of each semester, the top 100 people will have a chance to win many great prizes.

The breakdown of points are as follows for the 2010 Spring Semester:

Men's Basketball - 5 points
Women's Basketball - 10 points
Men's Lacrosse - 10 points
Women's Lacrosse - 10 points
*Women's Ice Hockey - 20 points
*Softball - 20 points
*Tennis - 20 points

I think this is a waste of time and effort for a non-issue. I'd rather see a small section of "real fans" in attendance anyways than some interlopers looking for a prize. I'd hate see an artificial student section at Cornell.

An Open Letter to the Lynah Faithful

Hockey games start at 7PM in the evening. Not at 7:10. Not 7:20. Section A should not be 75 percent empty when the puck drops, let alone when the starters are introduced or the Canadian national anthem is played.

I know I am sounding like a crotchety old alum, but part of the Lynah experience is being in the barn before the hockey game starts. If we're not going to win on the ice, at least we can win in the stands.

That said, I was pleased that most of you seemed to know the lyrics to My Old Cornell. The Yale fans that I was sitting with were impressed.

I noticed this myself, pointing out the fact that the townie side was full, while the student side was yet to be filled as the puck dropped. No big deal, what they may lack in punctuality they more than make up for it during the game.
