Lax key games

[edit complete repost. serves me right for having a PM window to Hillel started and a thread window open with the same subject line]

We're lucky to have two of the the three likely toughest remaining games at home after being on the road for the two toughest so far (Army, Duke), three if you count Notre Dame and the neutral LI site.

Princeton again is the toughest Ivy team year in, year out. They're in Ithaca. And Hobart (also in Ithaca) can make its season by knocking us off at the end. That leaves only Syracuse on the road.

You have to like Cornell's chances.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before, but I'm a big fan of Tambroni scheduling the Hobart game on slope day every year. Makes sense on a lot of levels. Plus it's nice to have a night game once in a while, especially when it ought to be warm out.

Some people took greater advantage of the late-season, finally-warm-weather Cornell-Hobart contests than others. Before the 21-year drinking age, the game at Hobart was late in the season, and Hobart fans used to not bother sneaking in a six-pack of beer. They'd just roll in a keg (no half-kegs need apply), got rowdy, started throwing things (fish maybe? it is lake trout capitol of the world. plus hard objects). Can't remember if Richie Moran called off the series for a couple years or just yelled a lot at Hobart's AD, but it was an animal house situation that had gotten out of control.

Usually you're supposed to look back on youthful college pranks, chuckle, and make them more improbable and more harmless as time goes by. I suppose you could with this one, too, but the reality was it was an ugly, even dangerous situation where fortunately no one got hurt on the sidelines.

Would have made one hell of a webcast, though.
