Road trips.

[scoop85]

On the contrary, my guess is we're about 20 years from driverless cars starting to seriously rival driving and 50 years from driving being illegal.

I will very happily be dead.

But it's all been shit since we traded in horses, anyway, so meh, whatever.

I think closer to 10 years than 20

I remember hearing a report that Ford is selling more cars than ever before, but their stock is dropping because they're not heavily enough involved in developing self-driving vehicles.

If the tech is driving auto manufacturer stock prices, it's probably on its way.

Well, road tripping took a back seat big time when we left New England a few years ago.  So, video is pretty much all I've got these days.  But, the wife and son and I are leaving Kansas in the morning and driving to Ithaca for both games this weekend.  We'll be in Section C.  Then after spending the week in Boston, we'll be coming back west via the games at RPI and Union.  I know we're in the section behind the Cornell bench for the RPI game and some random section for the Union game.  If the women's QF series goes to a game 3 at Lynah on the 25th, we'll stop for that game.

I plan to be at all games from LP onward as well.

Good to have you back, Tom.

Kansas to Ithaca is 1300, 1500 miles?  That's loyalty to Cornell hockey. I thought 6 hours to Potsdam was heroic.

Interesting, we were at the Clarkson game.  When I called to buy tix over a week in advance, I was told that the Cornell section was sold out (perhaps they didn't actually have a Cornell section...) and couldn't get four seats together anywhere in the rink.  We ended up with some other Cornell supporters in the middle of a Clarkson section on the end.  The Clarkson fans sitting behind us were talking about how crazy Cornell fans are, yelling all the time and standing through the games.  They see us as aliens.  We tried to keep mostly quiet but some very young Cornell fans behind us started yelling "Let's Go Red!" in the third period and all eyes were on us, disapprovingly. I told my family I'd been in louder churches. In my opinion, the only cheering for Clarkson came from their band/student section.  Our band was superb, and I assumed, though I could not see the section well from where I was sitting, that our fans were sitting near the band.  I know they made as much noise as most of the Clarkson arena (well except for the guy in the Clarkson band who couldn't keep his hands off his electric bass guitar...)

We are planning to go to ECAC tourney also, presuming Cornell makes it (no jinxing) ::worry::

It's about 1150, but with having to be in Boston all of next week, it just makes sense.  Okay, it probably doesn't make sense to those who aren't fans, but it makes sense to my non-Cornell, but sports-loving wife, and that's all that matters in this equation.

Cheel has always been a tomb, whereas Walker rocked out.

A cautionary tale for the next time the LOOK A SHINY OBJECT! types tell us how much we "need" a shitty, antiseptic new building with a white collar criminal organization name smashed across it.

Who shit in your corn flakes this morning, Trotsky?

Geez, and I thought he was in a good mood today!

I'm quite happy, thanks.

Thanks Jeff.  I never really left.  I watch and I read what you old folks have to say (he says, knowing that I'm older now then you were when we first met).  Our paths will cross.  If we make it to LP, staying and working the week in Boston and adding on Worcester, Bridgeport or Allentown will be easy.  If we miss LP, I may be the only one pulling for Sioux Falls, a straight shot up I-29 for me.  But I see no path that takes us to Sioux Falls in this down year for the eastern conferences.

Oh there's a path...North Dakota drops to 13th or 14th.  They can't play St.Cloud or Denver since they're in the same conference as N. Dakota.  So either Notre Dame or the other top 4 team (i.e. us) travel to East BuFu (Sioux Falls).  The only way we avoid the long trip is if we're #1.
