Corona Virus And Playoff Games

Quote from: French RageYou all laughed at me for making a costume that looked like a wooden bench at Lynah, but this Friday when I'm the only one who will be able to sneak in and watch the ECAC QFs, who'll be laughing now, huh?!?!

I've seen some of the parents. We'll be the ones laughing when they sit on you.

Quote from: scoop85Here's Pollack's notification to the Cornell community. Interestingly it doesn't say all athletic events will be cancelled, but rather that each member will be strictly limited to 3 guests per participant. So maybe there's a little hope that the games can continue.

So how do we expand the hockey roster to roughly 1000 players?

For how much are the players selling the guest passes?

It shouldn't be decided by price. Instead, it should be decided based on commitment; there should be some sort of line that is formed and maybe a camp-out to see how long people are willing to stick around.

Oldest ticket stub. I have one from 1981. Jim may have one chiseled from marble.

I probably have one from '78. I wasn't planning on coming to the games this weekend, so I'll sell it to the highest bidder!

Quote from: toddloseWell at least our guys will know what it feels like this weekend if they went to Harvard instead. Actually, any of the ECAC teams that played last weekend by crowd sizes I saw on tv.

Quote from: Ithaca Journal"Our guys will not experience anything crazier than Lynah Rink, they'll never face a bigger venue than Madison Square Garden, they won't face any more distractions than Las Vegas," said head coach Mike Schafer, referencing two of his team's road trips this season.

But are they prepared for an absolutely silent Lynah Rink? Does the team practice Zen meditation?

They've played at Brown.

I think if the only people allowed in the barn were the parents that would be incredibly sweet and maybe make them play even harder. Imagine a whole game that was just a gift to your mom and dad.

Or the players on the bench can learn some cheers!

Quote from: billhowardWho'd want to sit next to a fan coming in from New Rochelle?

For some of the altacockers on this list it's been so long since Cornell has won a major nation championship, that if we were confident Cornell is going to do it this year, we'd gladly do it, and if need be die happily.

And with 3 teams ranked in the top 2 of their sport the odds are as good as they've ever been.

+1 for the use of "alte cockers!"

Really really hoping that we just make it to no spectators and go from there. Cancelling the remainder of the season would be so brutal for these teams.

The secret is just to be the last to forfeit, then you don't have to!

Yeah, and WHO officially calling this a global pandemic today is not going to help.

While we'd all miss going to the games, they should do what Ivy basketball did and award the title to the regular season champion.
