As good as an RS game?  That's a funny statement considering that Lynah has officially been sold out all season.  I know what you mean though.[/q]

These games have been officially sold out since last week (I think they announced the sell out last Monday or Tuesday). So, how do we get the students who typically show up after the national anthem and introductions to be in their seats before 7:00? The students are such a powerful force of nature it's a shame when they're late.

I have heard that 5 of Cornell's 9 schools are accredited SUNY.  I don't know how true that is, but that's where the comment comes from.

[Josh 03]

9 schools?  Cornell has certainly expanded a lot since I graduated 2 years ago!

[Ben Rocky '04]

3 of Cornell's 7 undergraduate schools/colleges, and 1 of the 6 graduate schools are partially state supported, as Cornell is NYS's land grant university.

[Brett Gobe]

So youre saing Cornell is going to join the Big 10 Hockey Conference? :-P

[daredevilcu]

Like I said... no idea how true that is.  Schools meaning school of agricultural sciences, school of veterinary medicine, school of engineering... etc.

Good luck-  won't ever happen unless you've got students that don't like to drink.  Evidently gettting hammered before a game (and during) is more fun than catching the game.  I'm notjust singling out Ithaca either, it seems to happen at a lot of schools.

[/q]So I guess the joy of drinking was discovered in Ithaca sometime recently?  When I first started attending games (early 90s) the rink was a heck of a lot more fulll at gametime than it is now and by all accounts it was packed for warmups in olden times.

[Pete Godenschwager]

Did the games start at 7:00 or 8:00 then?  I wouldn't be surprised if the stands were more full at gametime if the starting time was later.  I still don't see why it's hard to get to a 7:00 game on time even if you do want to drink beforehand.

Hey, I think I found out how Nickerson got syphillis.

I know the insult and I know what it means, so have your fun. But just to throw some facts in, yes, 3 of the 7 undergrad schools are partially state supported - i.e. state residents get lower tuition due to some state funding. Those are Agriculture, Human Ecology, and Industrial and Labor Relations. Engineering, Arts & Sciences, Hotel Management, and Architecture, Art, & Planning are completely private.

I don't know about the grad schools, but I'll take Ben's word for it. The 6 are Law, Business, Vet, Medicine (in NYC), and um - what would the other two be now? There's the general 'Graduate School' which handles all the grad programs (in some ways) for the undergraduate schools. Is Hotel grad seperate?

As far as 'accredited SUNY', I don't think that phrase even makes any sense, does it? That's like saying a car is 'accredited Nissan'. Either its a Nissan or its not - it may be made by a partner or a subsidiary of Nissan, but that doens't make it 'accredited Nissan'.

Anyway, back to your good-natured, intentionally immature ribbing
