2012-13 Schedule

How is this a conflict? They each have their own band.

Isn't the Michigan Marching Band larger than the entire Union College student body?

Guess Michigan attendance could be less than spectacular.

As I said in another post, football rules. Michigan, and The OSU for that matter, plan a lot around that football game. I'd not be surprised if the NYC UM alumni club didn't already have viewing plans for the football game. Competing with that could definately effect attendance. Now if they had an afternoon viewing in Manhatten, followed by dinner, and then hockey, it might work. Some would look at it as too long a day however, and might leave after the football.

Usually a game like that is a saturday afternoon game. I find it strange that that game is scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend.

In the B1G, it not only usually is an afternoon game, but it has to be an afternoon game. B1G rules do not allow night games during the month of November.

I found this on UM Almni site.

The U of M Club of NY hosts football watch parties every Saturday at sports bars throughout NYC with between 400-700 fans in attendance. Come join your fellow alumni in watching the games with full video and sound, enjoying the great deals on food and drink, winning Michigan memorabilia and paraphernalia during halftime raffles - and of course, participating in rousing chants of 'Hail to the Victors'!

Thanksgiving is the earliest possible this year.

The best part of that (for me, anyways) is that they don't even call their own song by its formal name The Victors.

I'm not sure what you mean, but the song is "The Victors", the chorus is "Hail to the victors...". The posting with the capital V was in error.

An article in The Michigan Daily about the Michigan-Cornell game at The Garden.

BIG RED REMATCH: Just over two weeks after Cornell knocked Michigan out of the NCAA Tournament, the Cornell athletic department is just a few formalities short of announcing another meeting.

Instead of a sparsely populated Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisc., where the Big Red ended the Wolverines' season in March, the game is slated to be played at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

Though Cornell has yet to sign a finalized agreement with the venue, sources tell the Daily that the game will likely be played on Nov. 24, the Saturday following Thanksgiving. The game will potentially conflict with the Michigan-Ohio State football game, scheduled for the same day in Columbus...[Bowling Green and Michigan] were originally slated to play a series on Thanksgiving weekend, but a change was needed to accommodate the Wolverines' date with Cornell at Madison Square Garden.

If they lose to TOSU, we'll have not just drunks but mean drunks attending.

And what about their fans?

I know that this thread is about the Cornell 12-13, not 13-14, schedule, but has anyone heard anything about the possibility of RPI playing BC in addition to Cornell playing BU at MSG over Thanksgiving in 2013? BC-RPI seems like a very odd combination to me. It was posted on the RPI thread on USCHO by an RPI fan who has a connection to BC.

I have no way of knowing one way or the other if this is true or not, but it seems unlikely to me that there would be two college hockey games the same weekend at MSG. That would likely mean that both the Rangers and Knicks would have be on the road that weekend. In 2011, the Rangers had an afternoon home game on Saturday and the Knicks were still locked out. Unless one college game is Friday and one Saturday, they wouldn't be able to have an afternoon Knicks or Rangers game.

The rumor is that both NCAA games would be on the same day.

It wouldn't be a big deal to have a Saturday where they both weren't home.

It sounds like the "rivalry renewal" day they had at Boston Garden in the early 90's with (going from memory here) BU, BC, Cornell and Vermont.  Maybe MSG thinks that RPI/Cornell fans and BU/BC fans will cross-pollinate.  If so, they are going to be very disappointed.
