trivial hockey question

The new bear logo isn't NEARLY as bad as the Gorton's Fisherman.

I think the college analogy would be to have "Cornell" on the road jerseys and "Big Red" on the home.

Yeah, I thought that went without saying with my original post.  In any event, I never said I was in favor of it.  The stylized CORNELL works fine for both home and away, and if it ain't broke...

Speaking about things that weren't broke, does anyone have the lowdown on why the C was removed from center ice as well as from Schoellkopf Field?  I know this was done a while ago, I just never figured out a possible reason.

 While we're on the subject of uniforms, I've always admired what (most) baseball teams do: Home whites have a team name or logo, Road grays have their home city.

I'm not sure if it could carry over to hockey, I've just thought of it as a neat convention.[/q]

For Cornell, the city name on jerseys has already been usurped by IC.

For Fair Harvard, they'd be in turmoil. They're in Boston. Actually, they're in Cambridge. But wait, the playing fields, aren't they back in Boston? And that jersey name is taken already, too, by another school.


Speaking of Boston, a Jeopardy question.

A: Harvard, MIT, BU.

Q: In Boston, name two colleges and a bridge.

I believe the Harvard playing fields are in Allston, Mass.

As is the Business School.  Harvard has recently acquired a significant amount of land "across the river" for expansion.  Lots of political wrangling going on in determining which schools/departments will be sent to "the other side."

For example, the Law School has been asked to move and they prefer the Cambridge address.  Allston is a section of Boston.  Some parts have an Allston mailing address and some a Boston address and I'm sure some parts of Harvard's campus in Allston still get their mail in Cambridge.  

As for Jeopardy:

A:  Harvard, BU, MIT - the question could not be as stated since besides a few fraternities, there are no MIT buildings in Boston, only in Cambridge but that's being technical.

Without being technical, the answer could be:

Q:  In Boston, name three colleges?
Q:  In Boston, name two colleges and a bridge?
Q:  In Boston, name a college and two bridges - as both Harvard and BU have their name on a bridge.

Also,

A:  Harvard Bridge, BU Bridge

Q:  In Boston, name two bridges? OR
Q:  In Boston, name a bridge and a college newspaper? - BU Bridge is the name of BU's Daily Sun equivalent.

Some of you may have heard this before - I've just added an extra two steps after determining that it is physically possible.

But at a point on the BU Bridge which spans a narrow section of the Charles River connecting Cambridge and the BU campus, there is said to be (and it is certainly one if not) the only place in the country where it is possible for a person to swim under a boat sailing under a pedestrian walking under a train rolling under a car driving under an airplane.  It is the not-so-quite parallel train track bridge passing at one point under the BU Bridge that makes this only one point possible.  If I get a chance to take a picture, I'll pass it along.

The train bridge and the BU Bridge are often featured in photos of Boston as the train bridge is home to a ton of rather unsightly graffiti put their in huge letters and school colors by the various high school and college crew teams that use the Charles as a form of bragging rights.

[Q]Q: In Boston, name a bridge and a college newspaper? - BU Bridge is the name of BU's Daily Sun equivalent.[/Q]

Another knock on the Sun on the forum...
The BU Bridge is a weekly paper that is run by the university...the independent daily student newspaper and equivalent of The Sun is the Daily Free Press.

And Al's comments are a great lead in to this article:

http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2004/05/20/shops_walkways_eyed_for_harvard_allston_campus/

So if all you care about is the never ending construction on the Cornell campus, you can skip to the last two words of the article.  Not sure what will come up when you click but while the article is on Harvard, there are ads for three other area schools on the page - what's up with that?
