That's still more than one can say about a lot of teams' fanbases.[/quote]That's true, I suppose cheering loudly one day a year is better than cheering loudly never. (I"m looking at you, Harvard.)

The 'Tute was probably hoping that this year's game against Brown would be televised. IMO this was a reasonable assumption considering last year's game was quite good. It looks like we RPI fans will have to settle for next Saturday's webcast vs. Clarkson. http://www.alumni.rpi.edu/si/hockeyspecial.html At least it is free. :-P

Have you not been at Lynah East in the last couple of years?

one more thing, I assume that the interior construction on the rink will be done in time for the home games next year...

This question mark is where the Colgate home-and-home should go, no? I further assume that the Friday game is in Hamilton and the Saturday game is at home.

I suspect that both schools are keeping it open to look at out of conference choices.

[q]THat's a likely spot, but the games have not always been on the same weekend, so? I suspect that both schools are keeping it open to look at out of conference choices.[/q]While I'm sure the coaches would prefer to play the games as a home and home weekend set (pretty sure Schafer has been quoted saying that in the past), I'm also confident that if Red Berenson got really drunk and agreed to bring the Wolverines to Lynah that weekend (or to Lynah one night and then Starr) I guarantee thay'd move the Cornell-Colgate games. To Tuesday nights if necessary.

wait so coaches get to pretty much pick who their non-conference games are against (assuming the other coach agrees as well?)

If this is the case, I wish Cornell would pick higher ranked teams, because our strength of schedule just kills us in the PWR rankings

So say we all. Most of us, anyway.
