Colgate Weekend

[ACM]

colgate comes to ithaca, drives home, then back to ithaca then home again.

that same trip 4 times in one weekend will suck

Probably still less driving than most away weekends though.

You are basing all of these comments on the mistaken assumption that the visiting team in the Cornell-Colgate series travels on Thursday and stays overnight in the home team's region. That was never the case during the seventeen years I traveled with the Cornell team, and I seriously doubt it was ever the case, or that it is the case today.

For other destinations, yes, the teams travel on Thursday and stay overnight, but not Cornell-Colgate.

Actually I based my comment on this:

colgate came in tonight i hope not gonna be a fun day to travel to the game for the fans..

I actually thought that was probably a change from the norm, due to the weather forecast.

Edit: And re-reading the above, with the lack of punctuation, I realize I may have misinterpreted that post, missing the "I hope", which may have been modifying the statement about when Colgate arrived. (I had read their arrival as fact.)

Better them than us!  (If it occurred...)

I hope the Colgate bus doesn't take the shortcut between Ithaca and Hamilton which goes over Muller Hill.

Could be true, i was just going by the bus i saw on the way home thursday, it could also explain why the game was cancelled because if they didnt travel thursday they werent getting here today that easily.

I was told that the ECAC has the same travel rules as other leagues where teams have to a day early.
I didn't know they relaxed the rule for this game and probably the other travel team games I suppose.

not the first time i would have been wrong today

okay.  This explains why my TUNE IN iphone app was playing sean hannity and not jason weinstein and the pre-game show.

I'm bummed - i was so looking forward to cornell hockey tonight as I work late trying to figure out how long the company I work for and the factories that we use in china can deal with the extended closures and what the contingency plans will be.

Stay safe everyone.

Upprdeck's lack of punctuation and incomplete sentence ramblings make all of their posts hard to read and understand. (Voice to text addiction it looks like?)

Didn't think anyone could achieve this, but upprdeck has displaced bearlover for most annoying poster.

Rescheduling the Friday game for Sunday afternoon is convenient for me. Living in the CET time zone, 6 hours ahead of EST, I can actually watch the game without staying up all night. As a bonus, it's a home game. I hope the guys play well.

[upprdeck]

thanks.. But I am not a Cornell grad and its a forum so i really don't worry all that much about punctuation in every sentance. I assume you can follow a conversation without it when people are talking to you?  My deductive skills are not always correct..  Colgate Bus/Hotel, I assumed the team as I did not track down a driver to ask. Some schools travel without buses with team name placards..

feel free to ignore me, just trying to provide information and thought not going for an A any more.

Jim I agree - Cornell hockey is a reason to go (weather be @!$%'d).  I have a 30 minute drive to Lynah on dry clear roads.  I have often made it in 1 hour and ten minutes going all the way in 4 wheel drive at an average of 24-25 mph in all kinds of winter weather to make a game (men and women).  

But Friday with the 0.2 inches of icing prior to the heavy snow fall, 12 inches at my house plus a bit, means I have shoveling and snow-blowing for 2 hours today just to get out.  And as a volunteer EMT I knew how bad it was and was going to be.

I will be there on Sunday.  LGR!

U.D. - I prefer the program you were using to your manual posts.

I hope everyone is home, safe, and warm.  How is the weather up there today?  Is anyone planning to make the trip to Hamilton?

Sure

Flurries and the roads are fine. We drove to Ithaca from Syracuse this morning, and will be heading to Hamilton on the CHA bus this afternoon.

I had no idea the boosters still did a bus.
