Who will be in Ithaca for Hahvahd?

[Beeeej]

JTW alluded to the November '95 game at which brand-new coach Schafer helped us exorcise ten years worth of demons...  Well, I wasn't there.  I won't go into why (no reason to start that thread again), but I wasn't.  And that night, I promised myself that if I could have any say in the matter, I would simply not ever miss another Cornell-Hahvahd game again, home or away.  And I haven't, though I've come close - I missed the first period once.

Once.

Plus, this year there's the added dimension that I've been trying to explain the Cornell hockey phenomenon to Yana (who went to NYU, where they don't care about sports), and she doesn't quite get it.  Obviously there's no substitute for seeing it in person, and what better example than Fish & Fowl?

Now if I can just figure out how to get us both into Section C with one of our tickets in Section O (sucks).

Drive to Ithaca?  Who said anything about driving?  Ben '04:  My wife and I are flying from SFO to ITH.  That is coast to coast.  That is what being a Lynah Faithful is all about (esp. after you have graduated).  For the record, this is our second consecutive SFO-ITH road trip for the Harvard game.  Before that, it was 1997 when I was already at Harvard (but Rebecca was still in Ithaca).

Beeeej:  We will have to initiate Yana into the Lynah Way ;-)  (you know, secret hand-shakes and all...and, do you know that Rebecca had never been to a hockey game before our first date, Army vs. Cornell in January 1990?  Look at her now!)

Greg Berge:  It will be great to have your presence in the Big House again.  Fellow West Coasters unite (assuming you are still in OR).

Well, that's 'cause Cornell won that game.  We'd better win next Saturday!!  :-{)}

some of us alum lynah faithful drive to all the home games and some of the away games as well

of course my fiancee is still at the vet school so hockey is a great excuse to see her

i just realized that after january we will have to make the daily trip from binghamton for weekend games - no more staying in ithaca (ack!)

i will be there for both games although my fiancee may miss parts of both depending on the client schedule and load at the vet school. i look forward to this being a key weekend in the journey to albany. LGR!

Beeeej:

You are right:  Cornell beat Army in that game, in OT.  But, Rebecca left well before the game ended to go to some concert at the Haunt downtown.  That gave me the excuse of calling her up the next day (Sunday) to say, "by the way, you missed a hell of a victory.  Would you like to go out again?"  :-)   Pretty smooth I was in my dating days...

Make sure and do a "SIEVE HYPHEN SIEVE!" if Grumet-Morris is in net. :-D

Anybody traveling from the NYC/LI area for this weekend?

I'm looking for either a ride, or just a carpool "buddy" (with myself being the driver).  So I'm flexible, with the main goal being getting to Ithaca sometime on Friday evening or early Saturday.

Let me know...thanks!

Kate and I are coming into town today for the weekend, we'll be driving out of the zanny snow here in DC, brining it with us to Ithaca.

See everyone tonight at Lynah, LGR!!!
