Men's Hockey Season Tickets On Sale Now

All season tickets include an exclusive Cornell winter scarf and complimentary season tickets to Cornell football and men's lacrosse games.

Still blows me away: no more standing in line (on line for New Yorkers) for hockey tickets. Buy hockey tickets, you get free tickets for Cornell football. Imagine Cornell hires as assistant sports information director from, say, Ohio State and asks him/her to be one last set of eyes on the release checking for anything that's misspelled (Pokuluk?) or obviously wrong. What a unique institution Cornell is.

What should I say to you? Should I not say
'Hath a dog money? is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats?' Or
Shall I bend low and in a bondman's key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness, Say this;
'Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last;
You spurn'd me such a day; another time
You call'd me dog; and for these courtesies
I'll lend you thus much moneys'?

~Merchant of Venice, W. Shakespeare, 1596

Not abated yet!  ::whistle::

For the current student body, they shouldn't deliver the hockey tickets until proof of attendance at first few home football games.

Mandatory school spirit!::cheer::

Um, we do want people to go to Lynah, right? :-)

A fair point.  I still have the mindset that students would jump through all sorts of unreasonable hoops to obtain season tickets.

If Cornell had a system of acquiring points by attending other sporting events in order to obtain hockey tickets (sounds like pep band!) that would have been incentive when I was an undergrad, not the deterrent it probably would be today.

Unreasonable hoops?  Absolutely.  But lets not venture into torture. :-P

In principle I think this is a good idea. Even, all jokes aside, including football.  But my take on the current generation of students (possibly unfair, certainly not well informed) is that many or most would simply blow off all sporting events rather than put up with the requirements.

Could be a good opportunity for some troll-cheering. If they make you go, you might as well have fun with it.

It's not the athletes' fault that Cornell athletics sucks so please don't cleverly (a.k.a. not at all cleverly) slag them.  

OTOH, if you want to burn the administration in effigy, go to it.  They've been cluelessly slurping the balls of their Upper Class Twits of the Year donors for decades while our real mission burns.

Aren't the athletes (at least partially) to blame by definition?  If they would just play better the teams wouldn't suck so much.
