Is the address of John Harvards 33 Dunster Street?  Trying to MapQuest my travels for this weekend...

[gtsully]

Can't remember if it's 33, but it's on Dunster, which is a short street, so you'll be able to find it.

Leaving within the next half hour!!!

I hope someone has a sign urging Harvard to balance out the ECAC by moving hockey down to Div III.

Maybe that hits too close to home, since the league's screwed if it loses the actual Div III schools....?

Actually, in retrospect I wish I'd thought of suggesting someone just make a sign that said "WELCOME TO LYNAH EAST" for the TV cameras.  (Did the "Cornell Students Takeover Venue" sign make it onto the broadcast?)

To be fair, if I remember correctly, Harvard has more varsity teams than any other school in D-1. I think the actual count is somewhere around 55 varsity teams.... ::twitch::

I think you're right about having the most varsity D-I sports (just above Cornell at #2 :-( ) but the number I count on the Harvard Athletics site is 37, although I'm sure that doesn't account for club sports not covered by the NCAA such as Ultimate Frisbee and the like.

As far as I know, Ultimate is a club sport at Harvard (and at Cornell - and pretty much everywhere else).  

I think the difference between the numbers that you've posted is the difference between teams and sports.  Harvard might have 37 distinct varsity sports, and still support 50+ varsity teams. For example, ice hockey is one varsity sport, but two varsity teams.  Field hockey and football would each account for one sport and one team.

Didn't see the "venue" sign, but Kenny Albert reported that the Cornell fans were chanting "This is our house" in the last minute or so of the game.  You could hear the chant in the background but not really make out the words.

For football you have men's football and men's sprint football, counting for two.  In rowing, it's three: men's heavyweight, men's lightweight, and women's.

I seem to remember a list of Cornell sports that presented Football and Sprint Football as separate "sports" - although now that I think about it that may have been a list of teams.  Doesn't make much sense to me that they would be considered different sports, although I guess there are rules differences.  Anyway, lots of weird things like that - I think indoor and outdoor track are considered separate teams, although most of the participants are the same.
