Cornell @ Quinnipiac , 11/05/22

3 x 3 about to play out in Troy after Sucks ties the game in the 3rd.

Scanning to see what other games are on and spotted Delaware @ Liberty. I blinked. Listed as "NCAAM hockey."

No. When did ESPN+ start showing club team games?  Bizarre.

Liberty has some sort of strange arrangement and has had their club team on espn for years.

Liberty is growing many of its sports, most notably football (currently ranked #19 is D1 FBS, same group as Georgia). Our son was a student trainer at U of Lynchberg who interned for their hockey team a decade ago and even then their club team put in a lot of bus miles. Helps spread the word. Or Word. The campus rink, LaHaye, seats 4,000 but it's not a luxe facility the way, say, Quinnipac is. Broadcast features are nice. The press box has a couple TV booths and there's a remote camera on a boom about 10 feet out from the booth.

Liberty has made great gains with their swimming teams.  It's almost like the people in charge of keeping their pools in good shape are really really motivated somehow.  I wonder what their secret is?

Liberty: Quinnipiac for the home schooled.

This should be a banner year for detailed discussions of ice-hockey venues: in-depth discussions seating arrangements at away games and critiques of opponent hockey fan audiences.

Many of us grew up, or grew older, on Seinfield, the show about nothing. And it entertained. In 2023, gone (as first-runs) a quarter century. As to your comment above.

Jerry in that time has gone from "how can't he date women who aren't quirky-unto-crazy [okay, that was the plot of half the shows] to alter kaker.

QED

Everyone who grew up on Long Island in the 70s had six guys in their high school who were exactly like Seinfeld, except they were funny.

That show is more ridiculously overhyped than the Beatles.

And Christy Brinkley flagged down Billy Joel. It showed geeky guys from the Island could meet and marry famous models. At least the ones who could fill the Garden. Speaking of which, I'm getting messages at least once a week reminding me to get tickets for the UConn. Wonder how full it will be.

Seinfeld is different-funny from Dangerfield. Or Taylor Tomlinson. Or Robin Williams. None of them could make The Whisperer episode work. (GF of the moment speaks is a very soft voice. Also creates puffy pirate sleeve shirts for men, makes Seinfeld wear one on a TV interview. He makes fun of the shirt. As he walks offstage, the girlfriend screams, "You bastard," and Seinfield says, "THAT I heard."

Maybe I'm jealous of him. Or his cars.

Somewhat OT, although if you'll be @ MSG for UConn, maybe not.

A couple of years ago, my wife & I decided to try a comedy club in NYC. So we went to the Gotham Comedy Club. The card consisted of about 6 relatively unknown comics. IIRC, cover charge was $15 each, with each of us having a minimum of 2 items from the menu. A hamburger & a beer set me back maybe $20, so the total cost for the two of us was about $70.

At roughly half way through the show we saw some guy come in the door & start taking off his coat. He was too far away to see his face. The MC announced that we had a last-minute addition to the card. Sure enough Seinfeld did an impromptu act for about 40 minutes.

I watched Crashing and believe it gives a realistic sense of the NYC comedy scene. I think the practice of big name comics just dropping in on a club is not uncommon. And I think those who have struggled to make it big, often want to give back. Some of them also want to try out new material. In any case, you have to feel good about people who do such things.
