Cornell Will Win In Minnesota

i caught that tooo....

I guess i'm not as worked up about the cc-du issue.. considering that we were in CC's situation two years ago. given the # of times that cc and du have played this year, they are clearly evenly matched, with denver having 3-2 record head-to-head. in this case the teams have decided their ranking on the ice over 5 games.

 i was a bit surprised that they sent du to amherst and not worcester. I think it is easier to get to worcester than to amherst (either flying into logan or bradley). Granted du is flying, but they should have minimized the bus trip afterwards.  was there that big a difference between bu and harvard (bu had to stay in worcester, the other teams didn't.. and given the providence = worcester for cornell, amherst= worcester should have applied to bc).

Buccigross hosts all the NHL stuff on ESPN and ESPN2. I never really got the impression that he followed college hockey very much.

[calgARI '07]

Buccigross doesn't know anything about NHL.  No surprise that he knew nothing about college hockey.

Minnesota has lost at home to Alaska-Anchorage, Minnesota-Duluth and a pair of losses to lowly Michigan Tech.   Their 6 losses at home this season ties them for the most losses by any of the 16 teams on their home ice this season.

I found $299 per trip on Southwest/ATA from Manchester NH, same from Providence. You might try flights from Albany, or even Cleveland(depending on your local situation

Sperris-

Are you an aggie? Do they not teach reading there?   ::help::

THat $299 is the ONE WAY price.  It's gonna cost you another $240+ to get home.

[mjh89]

"Are you an aggie?" What is that supposed to imply?

MJH-

Take it easy  Just insulting Sperris' inability to read a website.  He'd be buying a ONE-WAY ticket and shocked to discover he couldn't get home.

Sheesh- can't even make an ag-school joke anymore  Touchy Touchy

[mjh89]

Well, the unofficial Ag school motto is: "Hey, at least we aren't Hotelies." Pick on them.

Yep-

I forgot the icons...this can be a crappy medium for communication.  

Too bad I can't throw up a quick smiley  icon when I'm telling jokes onstage and noone is laughing!   ::nut::

I just posted it on another thread, but ATA is clearly the cheapest from the NYC, Jersey, SE PA area.  I just booked a roundtrip from LGA to MSP for $293.  It wasn't the most convenient times, but I'll use the free time to get some birdwatching in.

I wish I could join you.

OK -I slightly retract my admonishment of SPerris

ATA from Boston to MSP is $315 roundtrip if you leave 6am on Friday and return 1030pm Monday.  I'd looked through southwest's website before and found the 299+244 price...
