A Tuesday game? In this economy?

Love a mid week game!

I hope it's during my finals period because otherwise I WILL skip class 😂

I've got one Mon-Tues at 6:00-7:30 pm this semester 😭

Great News! 

Over the Chirstmas [Winter] Break Coach Jones will be Assistant Coach for the U.S. Collegiate Selects in the Spangler Cup in Davos, Switzerland.  (Mike Sousa of UNH is Head Coach and Scott Sandelin of Minnesota Duluth is the other Assistant.)

That's a little tight for the early January Omaha game . . . but maybe promises adding UNH and UMD to the schedule.  I would love to see us play UMD in the Frozen Apple.

You're in the Law School, right?

3 Dec -- instruction ends
4-6 Dec -- reading period
7 Dec -- finals begin

For the rest of the University that is still classes, which end 15 December.  I think there is a rule against playing (any sport) during finals.

Yep. Lovely! God bless the law school exam period starting early.

I recall Walsh's travelogue getting back from Davos for the Omaha series last year...

Assuming they make the finals (12/31), it's unlikely they travel home the same day unless they do it by a private jet.

Recall last year, our Omaha series was the 2nd and 3rd. This gave them the leeway to take off on the 1st for the intl flight and then the 2nd do the regional flights. Walsh got back to Ithaca at like, 3:30 pm the day of the Omaha series, as per McNally. I've heard it was even thornier than that 😅

Assuming similar, that they would fly most likely from Zurich on the 1st of January, I don't see a way Casey would get to Omaha for the Jan 1st game. Jan 2nd, sure, but Jan 1st we'll likely see an assistant take the reins.

Hey, Coach, if you're reading this, here are your best bets:

SkyTeam (Delta):
6:50 AM ZRH - KL 1916 - 8:25 AM AMS
10:25 AM AMS - DL 161 - 12:42 MSP
3:40 PM MSP - DL 3948 - 5:02 PM OMA

Star Alliance (United):
9:40 AM ZRH - UA12 - 12:40 PM ORD
3:50 PM ORD - UA 4662 - 5:47 PM OMA

WAIT HOLD ON



That solves that problem.

I swear I thought it was 1st and 2nd and not 2nd and 3rd. Well.

I'm sure the flight tips will be useful anyway 😂

fwiw I recommend the UA itinerary but I am also a Star Alliance loser 💜

What airline do you recommend for an Albany to New Orleans trip in planning?

My preferred airline out of Syracuse is American but Delta is probably the best of the major US carriers

AA is your best bet. Expect a connection through PHL, DCA, or CLT. I travel a lot with AA for work and leisure and have been to New Orleans enough times the past few years.

That is what I anticipated and dreaded.  We were stuck overnight in Dallas on the 28th because of their computer glitch.
