No one mentions the new Dairy Queen

dairy queen

I had no idea either. But drove by today and the sign says coming soon and the redo of the outside is coming along

I dont think posting it on web site that no one reads off season and that barely functions as a website really qualifies as an announcement.

Tickets are cheap, I dont think selling them for $10 vs $20 makes a difference. Its not like lowering the price is going to bring in twice as many people.

Concessions I think many places have found that lower prices brings in more money.  Fountain drinks vs bottles brings in more money as well.

This is actually wrong

Viewership was not down during covid, It was actually up.

The issue is that it was spread wider, so individual sports had lower numbers

Like we had 20 million people watching over 200 events.
we before we had 15 million over 100 events.

Cornell could host now if they put in a bid.  But that requires prep and money and they dont find it worth the effort.  

I do agree if would cool to see best of 3 regionals though

Quote from: Jim Hyla
Quote from: upprdeckI havent been able to get the WHCU signal  20 min from campus for years

Interestingly I've occasionally picked it up in Hamilton as I left the Colgate game. Unfortunately as I left toward Syracuse, I lost it.

The furthest away that I've listened to a WHCU broadcast was 1968 in Cambridge, MA for the NCAAs.

I've told this story before, but to do it again.

If my memory hasn't gone too far, my source in Ithaca was George64. I called him and he put his phone down so it would pick up the radio feed. I had my phone wired to my Stereo. So we broadcast it to a group at the apartment. Back then the phone charges for non-local calls, Long Distance for old timers, wasn't cheap. So I think we disconnected for intermission.

Today is so much nicer, but I still like radio. I have the radio frequency for each ECAC school's broadcast in my phone, so I could listen, particularly when leaving away games. That could be fun when we won.
it doesnt help that there is no cell phone once you get past the airport most of the time either.

They pretty much discussed at the convention that it should never have been called as a penalty during our game.

coaches sometimes liked exh games because they could use the players to develop things and it didn't go to towards record or PWR in anyway.
