We're doing an article for CHN on the 50th anniversary of the perfect season. If anyone has any reminiscences of that season, of any kind, feel free to share. If we include it in the article, we'll quote you by name. So, if you don't mind using your real name with it, and it's not obvious from your handle, feel free to include that as well. It will mostly be comments from players on that team - but I want to sprinkle in fans/alums thoughts as well.

I was just reviewing the Frozen Four thread (good stuff - who knew RIT had a campus in Dubrovnik?) ... and I put a reply there, but I thought this issue was too "important" to overlook, so I created a new thread.

Someone in that thread made reference to Harvard-Yale-Princeton being able to give de facto athletic scholarships, and seemed to be referring to my article (based on the similar language used).

However, that poster seemed to miss the key sentence of the article, which directly addresses Cornell fans' concerns. And since those concerns were perpetuated throughout the Frozen Four thread, I thought I needed to point out that you shouldn't worry.

QuoteFurthermore, even though Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth do not have the endowments to do that, they successfully lobbied the Ivy League to allow their athletic programs to match whatever package Princeton, Harvard and Yale are offering.

Hope this helps.

It's a shame ... a great guy, a fine coach ... put his heart and soul into trying to turn around his alma mater.... Unfortunately, Tech is a place where good coaches go to die.

I had to create this thread just to say that Matt Moulson just scored one helluva goal.  Nothing fancy, per se, but he blistered a shot from near the top of the circle and just perfectly picked a corner.  It was about as good a shot as you'll see.

Please feel free to pass along any thoughts or concerns. And thank you for your interest.

Can anyone help to identify the old "cowbell guy" in this photo. My impression is, it is from the '80s some time.  But perhaps not.  Thank you for any help.

Just wanted to pass along apologies for the radio transmission troubles this weekend.  It was a highly-anticipated weekend of games, and none of us like to see that happen.

I had a pretty knowledgable in-house tech guy look things over, and he concluded it was his own arena's phone lines that were the issue.  However, since other stations didn't have trouble, I can't rule out it was an equipment issue.

The way the equipment works is, it's essentially a highly-dedicated modem-to-modem connection, that enhances the sound quality so it's better than a regular phone call.  There is also backup equipment that transmits regular "phone-call quality" sound.  I didn't bring the backup gear in order to conserve carry-on space.

Next week, we'll find out if it was equipment trouble, or the TECO Arena phone lines ... but either way, you'll hear the games.

This explanation doesn't change what happened, and I don't blame anyone for being annoyed ... but I figured everyone deserved to know.

Regards,
