Cornell @ KU Jan 6, 2010

[rouls78]

Thought I would start this topic.

Living in Wichita with a son going to KU, I am really looking forward to the BIG RED visit to Lawrence, KS on Janaury 6, 2010, tipoff 7pm.

Thought it would be a good time to see if anyone else is attending and if someone has a suggestion of a meeting place in Lawrence before the game.  Anyone have any suggestions?

ROULS

I had seriously considered going, since I have a good friend who teaches at KU and he even went so far as to secure tickets to the game just in case.  But between hockey at UNH (where I've also never yet seen a game), the relative expense of the trip, and my relative level of caring about basketball vs. hockey, it was really no contest.

I can ask my friend about good pregame locations, though.

Beeej knows I'm a Boston area guy (and I'm leaving for the b-ball game at UMass in about five minutes) but rouls, I've got a wicked travel schedule which takes me to Florida right after the ECAC basketball games at MSG 12/20 and 12/21.  After catching Cornell hockey in Estero, I'm supposed to be back for hockey at UNH on 1/3.  I've been to the Whit many times to see both the UNH  men and women but clearly, never to see Cornell.  The wrench is that my girlfriend is from eastern Nebraska with family all over eastern Nebraska and eastern Kansas and she'll be there till 1/3 after Christmas.  I've thought about heading out to Nebraska after Cornell hockey is done in Estero and staying with her family (her sister works at Kansas and lives in Lawrence with her husband) through the Kansas game.  Free lodging always helps the cause and I'm trying to stay away from my apt. as much as possible in December and January while construction takes place.  

People may chime in on this thread but feel free to pm me if they don't to discuss ticket options and places to go around there.  What Cornell clubs exist in that area that might be doing something?  My going probably revolves around how the team appears to be doing in the next few weeks (not necessarily W-L record but how well they are playing very tough competition)

Yes, for the first time in about six years I have the time at work to have my winter schedule revolve around Cornell sports.

Beeeej's presence takes any Cornell sporting event up a notch so hope you can go even if I can't and all the best with your AZ ride.

That's nice of you to say, Tom, thanks.  As it happens, I may not even make it out to AZ at this point; my 15 year-old diabetic cat had a hypoglycemic seizure last night and I may not be able to leave him for the next few days.

We lost our 19-year-old cat, who had been diabetic for nine years, just about a year ago.  We went through many hypoglycemic episodes with him and they are not pretty.  Hope you're able to keep him reasonably well -regulated.  It's not easy when you can't prick his paw to draw a blood sample.  We fed ours a Purina food (DM?) specially-formulated for diabetic cats...and he liked it.

So when you say "I'm a Boston area guy" that means that you moved from Long Island and started writing "wicked" and wearing Red Sox garb just several years ago, right?  'Cause that's what I know.  ;-)

If by several, you mean 11, then yes.  But my intention was to let the original poster, whose name I don't recognize, know that I was somebody from the east coast and not local to the Kansas area and thus, sort of in the same boat not knowing who might be there or what might be going on.

SoCo is somewhat cooperative when it comes to taking blood samples from his ear, and he loves prescription Hills MD, but it's still been tough to regulate him.  Luckily he was stable by the time I had to head to Arizona on Thursday, and my roommate took care of him through the weekend.

Cornell-Kansas also on espn360.com at 8pm EST on Wednesday.  We'll see how Foote does with a 6'11", 245 pound opposing center.::worry::  Jayhawks looked great dismantling Temple today in Philadelphia.

Cold from the field early on.  Could have opened an early lead.

Wow.

[David Harding]

Cornell leads by 3 at the half as KU gets 2 at the buzzer.  First time they've trailed at the half all season.  After KU got the opening points, Cornell has led the whole way!

CU 41 KU 38. KU TRAILS for first time at halftime this year

Wow.
