In addition to Kansas, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Alabama, St. Joe's and La Salle, you can now add UMass to the 2009-2010 schedule with more big names still yet to be announced!

And also Toledo, from this paragraph in the article:  "Cornell is projected to play four exempt games in the tournament. In addition to UMass, Cornell will also face Toledo in Amherst, then will play two additional opponents in the other rounds."

Correct, did not mention Toledo since didn't think they'd excite anyone here.

But there is one more "big time" team and BIG TIME arena still yet to be announced for this season.  

Alums will be happy when they hear it.

I should be excited about Cornell playing a UMass team that was 12-18 last year?

So far the overall schedule is exciting.  Games include Kansas, Syracuse, Alabama, Seton Hall, UMass, St. Joes and La Salle (with the Seton Hall and St. Joe's games in Ithaca).

Definitely some opportunities to get some wins in that group.

The UMass game is interesting because of the Max Groebe connection.  Adds a bit of drama.

There will be one more "name" opponent added formally (with a great arena).

Do you really believe that repeating this builds some sort of excitement?  'cause from where some of us are sitting, repeating this makes you look like you just want people to know you have inside information.

"There will be one more "name" opponent added formally (with a great arena)" is the new "PM me for details."

You guys are not appreciative enough of the good news.

We have been playing way too many teams without names in unnamed arenas lately. This mystery "name" addition to our schedule is a welcome addition, and I for one eagerly anticipate the announcement!

Does that mean our hockey team is going back to [censored] Arena to play the North Dakota Fighting [censored]?

I'll spill it, we're playing the 1992 Dream Team at the top of Mount Everest.
