Well, ok, but beggars can't always be choosers. Something tells me if Cornell is in the final or even the semifinal, and you are at the Fleetcenter and don't have tickets, you'd be willing to pay more than face value to get in.

I have a feeling there will be plenty of tickets available outside the Fleetcenter. There are always tickets for everything in Boston at show time/gametime. Then there are those that hawk tickets for a living. There were plenty of tickets available for the Beanpot, and that always sells out fast.

ok, well it didn't get emailed to me until the 23rd

In today's Daily Sun, it says they are going to Syracuse next fall. They recently took a trip to Australia and smoked the competition.

Let's not get arrogant. CC is considered a very academically rigorous school. Just because he didn't go to Cornell doesn't mean he is academically inferior.

A 3.97 in biological sciences? Grrr. that is not possible. ::wow::

I used to think that sac flies don't count as at-bats. However, I was listening to the Yankees/Red Sox game on Tuesday, and Nomar's first at bat was a sacrifice fly. Now, he was on a 20 game hitting streak and the commentator commented that, should he walk at the rest of his at-bats, his hitting streak would halt. However, if none of those at-bats counted, why would his hitting streak end? On a similar note, if the game were postponed in the middle due to inclement weather, do none of the statistics count towards career numbers? I assume so... ::screwy::

I am a Yankees fan, and I really in fact could care not care less about the Red Sox, nor the Mets for that matter. The problem I have with the Red Sox is its fans, not the players. I enjoy watching the team play, in fact. My team beats the Red Sox every year, so why should I dislike them any more than anyone else?
 At least they give the Yankees a challenge

I guess you didn't see last night's game, which was a sellout. Not to mention that Brodeur makes the highlight reel EVERY TIME he plays, so it's not fair to say he is not called upon to make very many tough saves. Granted, he doesn't make 50 like Giguere does a game, but the Ducks' defense doesn't do much to help him.
Anyway, I would say that a much bigger reason the Devils don't sell out like the Rangers do is because of the fan base. Those tickets are pricey, and it's not beyond comprehension to believe that the fans of the Devils aren't quite as well off as those of the Rangers. Not to mention, how many of the Rangers' tickets go to corporations? Their corporate fan base is huge. The Yankees hardly ever sell out games, and I don't think anyone would argue with the fact that they have one of the biggest fan bases in the country.

That's kind of an odd comment. I find the Devils and Cornell to have incredibly similar styles of play. Oddly, the Devils' goalie gets most of the credit, it's obvious how fantastic he is, while the Cornell goalie usually has his stats clouded by the accolades of the fantastic defense in front of him. How could you say you are sick of the Devils' style of play, when hundreds of fans from those "higher scoring" conferences constantly say the same thing about Cornell, whether valid or not? I find NJ's style of play to be most respectable, because it's easy to win when you can score 5 goals a game with a halfway-decent NHL defense. But it makes for an even better team who can pull out the close-scoring games on the strength of a great D and goalie. Anyway, it's not really a reason to hate a team, sounds more like envy to me....they beat your precious B's. Oh please, Ottawa's some real competition.

Maybe he'll hire Baby. ::banana::

Yeah, that's like saying if someone dies from complications due to surgery for a gunshot wound, the person who shot her/him didn't commit murder. Um, his helmet wouldn't have fallen off otherwise. Do you see a lot of other instances when guys' helmets have just fallen off, other than when punches are being thrown? People need to be held accountable. There is no place for that in sports. Just like those stupid baseball fans need to be held accountable. Otherwise it's not gonna stop.

I think you should all be more concerned about winning then about who we play. If Cornell loses against all these teams that you claim aren't big-name, than what's the difference who they are playing?

chill out guys. In Canada, any form of financial aid is called a scholarship. It's just a different meaning of the word. It's not wrong. Who cares? And do you really think people in Canada know the Ivy League specifically does not give out athletic scholarships, or academic scholarships, in our sense of the word?
