2021-22 Men's Schedule

[Weder]

On the webinar, didn' t Schaf mention an ASU trip over New Years?

Yeah, he mentioned the whiplash of playing at ASU one weekend and at North Dakota the next.

Why bother returning to Ithaca?  Wonder if it's be too expensive to remain out west somewhere for the week and turn it into a team building retreat

He was just referring to the difference in expected January weather and didn't say anything about whether they'd be going back to Ithaca between the series.

Moonlite BunnyRanch is right on the way.

Team building.

(Works for the women's team too...)

Class of '44.

Old Ez said "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any subject." Presumably this applies to ice hockey as well as other endeavors - and Cornell's words conspicuously do NOT specify a venue?

UND's schedule agrees with your schedule for 1/7-8. https://fanforum.uscho.com/forum/college-hockey/men-s-division-i/3657022-the-2021-22-schedules-thread?p=3658038#post3658038

UND in Jan.. that will be fun.  guess no classes so they can take the 3 day bus trip

I've already committed on USCHO as long as my NoDak friends give me alcohol and a place to be unconscious.

C'mon.  Who's with me?

I've been meaning to go to this series since it was announced way back when, since I'm in South Dakota. I caught Cornell @UNO a while back. But we'll see if I'm willing to do indoor crowds by January.

[Trotsky]

If we aren't back to normal by January that means something really bad has happened, like a COVID-21 that needs a completely new vaccine.

It's going to take a long time for an indoor crowd to sound like fun to me.

I am ultra careful but my I assume utterly absurd and unscientific hope was:

(1) Reach herd immunity in, let's say, July.

(2) Some period of time passes in which the infection rate begins to decline, first slowly, then precipitously.

(3) By October or so we reach the point where the disease is now restricted to Republican enclaves, like drug addiction and teen pregnancy.  And we with a prefrontal cortex are safe as houses to go back to normal.

The GOPers probably continue to get sick and die, but... win/win.

I think that's a reasonable timeline. Is North Dakota one of those enclaves? Probably, right?

Well, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

A few comments:

I grew up about 2 miles from that -35 degree sign.  Ya, it's cold, dontcha know.  However, it doesn't really matter if it is +20 or -20.  In either case, the only time you spend outside is from the car to the house.  And, in some ways, the colder the better - once you get below zero, it is very unlikely to snow.

If you haven't been to a game at UND, you should go.  The arena is a sight to see, and the town is filled with college hockey fans (there is nothing else to do there).  Wear your Cornell hockey shirts around town and you will have conversations with lots of nice people.  The whole Red River Valley area is unlike anywhere else in the world, both geographically (perhaps the flattest land you will ever see) and culturally.  While you can fly into Grand Forks, there are probably more options for Fargo, which is just a little over an hour down the road, and it gives you the opportunity to see even more of that flat land (seriously, the only hills that you will see on I-29 are the freeway exits/overpasses every 10 miles or so).

The team will be in Arizona (where I live now) the weekend before this series, so I doubt there will be a three day bus trip.  There are direct flights from Mesa to both Grand Forks and Fargo, I would assume they will be flying.  Now the only question is if I join them on that flight and get to see Cornell hockey two weekends in a row!

I assume that picture was taken in August.
