Starr: Cornell 3 Colgate 2

[Will]

[quote Section A Banshee]The man on the PA was a dick and made sure to announce it around 7:00 when Colgate was skating around waiting for the anthems, but there was no Cornell team.  He said it with such tone that it was clear he was trying to goad the Colgate fans into yelling something derisive about it.  Not that I blame them, who knows what we'd have done at Lynah if some other team forgot their jerseys?[/quote]

We'd yell something derisive (well, a lot of derisive things, I imagine), but we wouldn't need Arthur to tell us to do so. :-D

The TV announcers at one point said there had been discussion of wearing Colgate's road jerseys.   ::yark::[/quote]I think that was a joke by the Colgate AD. Still, not a bad idea.[/quote]
Better than a forfeit.

Still, I wonder who is never, ever going to make this mistake again... [/quote]When they interviewed Abbott abbout it between periods, I had a vision in my head of him deadpanning something like "Well, Coach fired him when he found out. He did something like this once in 1974 and has been on probation since then. We'll miss him, but you have to be responsible for your actions."

Yeah, I'm sure they have a very distinct procedure they follow on a regular road weekend. Being the home and home, and a short trip, its easy to not take the 'routine' so seriously and forget things. Still, it was pretty amusing.

Unless you recorded the twcable broadcast on your dvr and it stopped with 3 minutes left in the 3rd because of the delay.   :-/

Oh well.

I have seen your jersey now that I think about it... but I have never seen this white 15 you are speaking of... oh well...

Oh well.[/quote]I feel your pain.

I had my TiVo run out before the end of the 1st round NCAA game against tOSU. I was out of town for the weekend, so I didn't know the results of the tOSU or Minnesota games. When the recording ran out, Cornell was still losing by a goal. I had to cross my fingers and hit play on the Minnesota game to see if they were playing in it. There are few things stranger than maniacally cheering the opening frame of a telecast.

[quote DeltaOne81]Here's a question for people at the game... did you have any idea what was going on? Other than those of you who may've been asked for jerseys personally . Or was it just some unspecified delay?[/quote]

I was at the game, and Matt Moulson's dad came and asked my fiancee and me to borrow our (non-game worn) jerseys, but said they just needed them for the warm-up. It was the only shirt I had on, so I declined, since it wasn't critical, but of course my fiancee, who had on a shirt underneath the jersey, happily obliged. About five to ten minutes later her jersey was returned, with the explanation that they would not be using them. A few minutes later the team came out for the skate around, jersey-less. So anyone who was there for the skate around, (and I think that was just about everyone), and had at least half a brain would have known that the delay involved the jerseys. Of course the half a brain part explains why most of the Colgate fans didn't understand what was going on, but that's another topic entirely.
