Now I'm nervous. MSG appears to be about ready to capsize.  I've heard of games where the ice appears to be tilted, but that's a little ridiculous.

Is this thing on?

Based on a friend who is at Reunion and sent that poster via text, it appears to be so.

I think the game is on, unless, as Chris Dilks has suggested is possible, Cornell and Michigan are getting married at MSG.

Michigan's rivals.com site is reporting it, too. That article notes that the contract still hasn't been signed.

But all indications over the last four months point toward this game being played in Madison Square Garden.

It's great that Cornell can take advantage of the obsolescence of the College Hockey Showcase.  For many years, Michigan (and Michigan State) played Minnesota and Wisconsin every Thanksgiving weekend.

Hopefully the penalty box door at the Garden opens properly that night.

Cornell has often used Reunion and the midwinter CALC (Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference, moving from DC to Boston for January 2013) to announce events like this.

Now with Michigan set, what about the Cornell-BU Red Hot Hockey series that played MSG that last three odd-number years? Most likely, Cornell is testing the waters to see if the Cornell fan base can handle an every-year MSG event. Best case, Cornell-BU Red Hot hockey continues in odd years, Cornell-somebody else plays even years.

I think it would be interesting to have the non-BU years involve a game against a member of the Big Ten Hockey Conference, like Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State, or Wisconsin. I think that Ohio State would be the least beneficial and have the smallest draw. That is why it is the one member of the Big Ten that I omitted. I think a Cornell-Big Ten annual match-up makes sense. As one of my Government professors said at Cornell:

Cornell is the only Ivy League school with a Big Ten heart...I have come to love this place in my [forty] years of teaching here, to love this Ivy League school with its Big Ten soul, this university that since its birth has played such a rebellious and innovative role in American higher education.

I also like this because it makes Cornell the de facto "home team" even for the BU games.  Locking in both NYC around Thanksgiving and Florida around New Years gives us a little extra something.

Particularly if we started freaking winning those games...

I have heard him say this, and I agree one hundred percent.

Cornell is the one Ivy School that tries to have a big time marching band. Stanford is the only big time school that tries to have an Ivy marching band. Good for us both. How'd that tech campus thing work out, Stanford?

Yeah, fuck those guys for wanting the same thing as us and competing with us within the rules!

I didn't take a picture, but the posters were all over our class headquarters (Keeton Hall) at reunions.  At the bottom was something about watching the Athletics site for more information.  I expect there will be an e-mail blast from them when the time comes.
