i'm going to become the joker

Why does this feel like Groundhog Day?

[Dafatone]

We are, somehow, still in 4th by a good amount. Gotta get healthy and get on a good little roll, to quote a kinda alright former Mets coach who shall remain nameless.

[billhoward]

Uh, because Bill Murray reprised Groundhog Day to hawk Jeep Gladiators? And then I've been driving (testing, not buying) a Punk'n Orange Gladiator out Richford way, east of Ithaca off Route 79, which made me think of GHD a day early. And tomorrow we'll wake up to a nightmare: That we finish the season in fifth or sixth and get to play one of the backmarkers who've beaten us in the new year?

Did the attendance policy change for the thousandth time this season? Appears to be a lot more people tonight than previously.

No, they are just all grouped together thus defeating the whole purpose of limiting admission.

Wrong!  There was clearly a much larger crowd tonight.   I'm not sure how it happened.

Yep. Clearly much different crowd size restrictions last night as compared to the prior two weekends. Seemed like they were allowing full or almost full capacity.

Bulkier parkas, maybe. With bulky wineskins underneath? It got down to 3 degrees F Saturday evening in Ithaca. Or maybe the Colgate crowd travels well? Or the trick of digital imagery to sample one crowded section of an area and past that into every section.

they didnt sell more tickets. could be just more season ticket holders actually came being only 1 game this weekend.

Pretty sure they sold more tickets. Last night's attendance was listed at 3201, as compared to each of the previous four games which were listed at 2133. Last night also appeared at least 50% more full than each of the prior four games, including on the student side (no season tickets).

I think they --DID-- actually sell more tickets.

The previous two weekends there was language in multiple places saying that they would not be selling tickets to non-students. One of the places this language appeared was the Cornell ticketing website.

This week, at least on the website, there was language indicating that they WOULD be selling tickets, and when they would be going on sale. (I think they were to go on sale Tuesday or Wednesday.)

So while that is not 100% solid evidence that they did sell more tickets, it is pretty strong evidence that they at least intended to.

Yep, I was definitely wrong.  I was going by what Grady said on ESPN+ that attendance was still the rote 2133, but they absolutely upped it.

Just go to a full house.  The fuckwits who still aren't vaxxed know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Wrong again...    I was in attendance at Lynah last evening....    With our naked eyes, my wife & I both agreed the crowd size was significantly larger.   It was a pleasure to see.

For three seasons in the 70s Cornell wore eye-gougingly ugly sweaters.  I swear to Ba'al these are what ended our National dynasty.

As recently as three years ago they still had one of those hanging in the locker room.

The ones that followed were similarly awful.
