2018-12-01: Cornell 2 Harvard 1

[dbilmes]

On video clip of Cornell first goal, it looks as if the cheering (Cornell) fans outnumber all the non-cheering fans.

The atmosphere, as is often the case at Lynah East, was basically that of a Cornell home game. In my estimation, approximately 75 percent of the fans were cheering for Cornell. When the Harvard pep band would start a cheer or a chant, no one else would join in, while at other times it sounded like the entire rink was chanting "Let's Go Red." The Cornell fan base deserves a lot of credit for coming out in such big numbers for this game every year.

The Harvard announcers made several references to this during the game.  It is outstanding that we do this to our arch rival in their own building!

I only heard the announcers from the clips, but they seemed rather professional and not homerish (e.g., think Brown)

Watching replay now.  Announcers quite good.  Also knowledgeable.  Pros, not students.

A slap at RPI. At least if one were discussing video quality. Maybe it's so freakin' cold at the rink, electrons move faster, eliciting more resolution and more vibrant color. Not that inside of the RPI blimp hangar has a lot of hues to latch onto.

Huh?

From what I remember of RPI's streams, they were the gold standard of the ECAC.

Have they not kept pace or am I missing something obvious?  My sarcasm detector has taken a pounding the last few years.

Agree, but the video clips are somewhat deceiving as the goals were scored on the "Cornell fans end of the ice". The other end was much more Harvard oriented.

And I'm still pissed that they took my Snickers.

Did they take them while you were on your way in or when you started tossing them out?

When I was tossing them. On my way in I showed everything in my "newspaper bag", including the bags of Snickers.

No problem until I was about half way through tossing in the Cornell dominated sections. An employee came up and said I couldn't bring in outside "food" and he had to take my bag of Snickers. After a brief discussion I threw my opened bag in the air, scattering the Snickers, and walked away.

At that point I was ready for him to come and tell me I had to leave, but nothing happened.

Well played Jim.

Yes, very well-played.

Thanks for elaborating. Let's hope it was just one over-enthusiastic and misguided employee.

It's not like you were tossing fish.

It's not like you were tossing fish.

Yet the Lynah ushers allow fish and don't allow Snickers.
