Lake Placid 2019 Roll Call

[Trotsky]

Greg and Anne will be there in Section 24.

[TimV]

Tim and Maggie and 2 sympatico friends who bought the tickets 2 weeks ago.  Don't know what section. ::banana::

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I'll be there.  My seats are in 22 for Friday and 23 for Saturday, but frankly I'll just sit in the CU Section.

If history is a guide, Cornell should basically own that entire corner, 21 - 26.

We ought to have a shot at a dominant presence.  Clarkson travels very well but has a significantly smaller base.  Harvard and Brown will have very few fans.  I assume the non-partisans will be solidly in favor of Brown.

I assume the crowd will break down roughly:

.51 Unaffiliated
.25 Cornell
.20 Clarkson
.02 Brown
.02 Harvard

I'll be there with my wife, Kim. Section 24, on the aisle with 23.

[Jim Hyla]

Me and wife in 24.

Can't do it this year, but will be watching our semifinal wherever it's streaming.

(...which, according to Cornell, will be on Saturday...?! https://cornellbigred.com/schedule.aspx?path=mhockey#game_id_29621)

Sorry we'll miss you.  Guess Cornell will just need to get themselves to Buffalo!

So I just emailed Brandon Thomas.

Yeah, they're probably getting it from a few different angles now. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

I'm OK with that.

Unexpected kid-complication is keeping us from going....

If anybody wants a subsidized room for Friday/Saturday at the Hampton, let me know.  (Became non-cancellable yesterday....)

Bill and Gwen. Reserved a month ago: You could say we believe in the Big Red. You could also say Happy Anniversary. It's a round-number anniversary for us, so it's a nice getaway regardless of whether Cornell made Lake Placid.

Also, the weather:

           Temp    Notes
Friday     19-34   snow forecast, 5-8 inches
Saturdday  16-28   morning snow showers
Sunday     20-41   mostly sunny  
Plus there will be residual snow. There is one carwash in town.

[Trotsky]

Happy Anniversary.  You should inform the team so they give you a present of some sort...

I've already been dragged into the shower by the team in the Dick Bertrand era, so not much else could go wrong. At least back then you didn't have a $500 maybe-water-resistant smartphone in your pocket with an explosive lithium-ion battery.

A part of me still believes women-in-national semifinals merits a true fan's attendance more than men in the Eastern semifinals. But Hampden has probably been booked solid for months. Mystique of the NCAA and all.
