Just my 2 unrelated cents.

In '72 the ILR school let this 26 year old Army vet transfer in to complete my BS.  Yes I had the JC creds to qualify.
Maybe the guy feels like he is moving up in the world academically.

Insert smiley face of your choice here.

Tampa is so close and so far away.

You learn something new all the time.  Since my only yearly experience with college hockey is in Estero I was not aware of a rule change concerning goal judges  At the tournement they always use them. So I just assumed...

The areana does not shield the goal judges (the guy that sits behind the goalie with the button that turns on the red light tc, etc.), he sits on a high chair next to the fans.  On one end there is seating for us mobility impared folks with folding chairs.  I just sit next to him and we chat from time to time as the play moves to the other end.  Irv played for Dartmouth in the late 50's.  My friends sit behind in the regular seats.  Perhaps I do not use the correct terminology to discribe his job.

Notre Dame drew a huge crowd but there are always a couple thousand empty seats.
Will be there with the missus and 4 friends (who always root against Cornell just to be that way, plus they are from New Hamshire.)
So usually when Cornell plays I am down on the ice next to Irv the Goal Judge.  Stop down and say Hi - bald old guy with a Red fleece Cornell shirt.

Usually my only opportunity to see ther Big Red play hockey is the next tournement.  Probably 3 teams in the top ten and one other who are not having the best of years.  Ya'll come on down to Dixie, the weather is fine.  And we will leave the light on for you.

Watching the video clip, Angelo's OT shot was an absolute thing of skill and beauty.  Very much looking forward to seeing this team here in Florida.  Go Big Red.

What a pleasure this AM to check in here and see another win.  Way down here in the Southland this is how we keep up, a day late so to speak.  Attendance on the rise - amazing what winning does for the box office.  Really looking forward to the Holiday tournement in Fort Myers this year - great line up and an exciting Cornell team.  May even try to make it to Lyanh in late January.  Best friend's grandson is starting in goal for Hobart so maybe we can get a "two-fer" in.
The downer last night was Cornell at Dartmoth in football shown on NBCSN.  Sigh!
Hope to see some of you at Fort Myers.

For me, a sweep in the Florida Hockey Tournement, as that is the only time I get to see them.

I would like to see a current photo each year of the team members.  A guy has been there 4 years and they still show his freshmen photo.  Cheap!  Tom in Vero

The wave ofthe future.  But many recent articles suggest that your internet service price will be rising. Surprise, Surprise.

That should be fun but I suspect I might be disappointed.  Hopefully not.

That 73 semi versus Wisconsin still sticks in my craw.  Up by 3 and Coach Bertrand leaves the first line in 6 plus minutes of the last 8.  Hate Bertrand - Hate Wisconsin.  Did enjoy beating them up in Jaxs a few years ago in the March Madness tournement.

Better Days are coming as they say.  Enjoy the summer folks.
