I'm going + 0.

I can't make the following weekend b/c of a graduation. I want to see Cornell at least once before Final Four weekend. I trust there will be more weekends of lax for the Big Red. This should be a good game. Long range forecast calls for partly sunny and temps near 70.

See from cornellbigred.com that Maryland encourages tailgating. From an e-mail sent to Cornell sports fans (read: we bought tickets online and they have our email address)

I would have to be a total loser to miss this since it's less than 30 miles from my home.  So, draw your own conclusions.  ::whistle::

Actually, I will try to be there +1.

I might be a spot late because it's the last day of Hebrew school but I'll be there +2.

I'll be there +1, and hopefully the same the following weekend.

Is it considered a party foul to wear a hockey sweater to a lacrosse game?

It has been done by other Cornell fans and it has been on national TV. What was the fashion authority, perhaps Rick Reilly who opined that people over 29 look ridiculous wearing a sports jersey and in general it's only appropriate if it's your jersey or if the owner is your boyfriend.

My problem is even with a dozen Cornell caps, I don't wear the navy Cornell cap because it's not red (yes, I know coaches wear navy caps), and if it's lax season I can find the Cornell football or hockey cap but not the Cornell Lacrosse cap.

I'm coming to think older alumni (over 70? over 25?) should just wear red but without it saying CORNELL. Except, ah, we're playing Maryland and they're red, too.

There's only one sartorial rule: if you wear something that says Cornell it has to be red or white.

THIS is fucking unacceptable:



(Judy gets a pass because IINM she never wears red, which is its own tradition.)

But she does where white which is part of the Cornell color scheme.

It's a lot harder to avoid white.  But I agree she should work harder.

1) St Patrick's Day shirt?
2) Someone inverted colors in Photoshop?
3) RedCast Lynah camera guy messing around with auto white balance and this is the closest he got?
