Colgate away broadcast / Boston - Sports Depot confirmed

DeltaOne81 · January 26, 2006, 03:21:57 PM

Just posting this here to get the attentional of all the Bostonians and surbananites who may not have noticed the discussion on the other thread.

The Cornell @ Colgate game will be broadcast on ESPNU next Saturday (Feb 4th). We were wondering if anyone wanted to meet for it - I was thinking the Sports Depot again. Its a good location in Allston/easy highway access, has its own parking and maybe we could get the back room again.

But it IS a Saturday night, so we should probably make plans with some time to spare if we're interested.

I get ESPNU at home, so don't need to go into Boston, but I haven't been in Boston since the summerish and wouldn't mind an excuse to make a day of it. Anyone interested? Respond on here and/or PM me.

Thanks,

Fred

Very tempting, but I have this feeling my wife might not take to my blowing off a bunch of her coworkers and their spouses that she invited for a dinner party. Hmmm, this may require some serious thought.

I'd be in, along with at least 2 others. The Depot is pretty convenient for us. Would you think that we need reservations?

May as well make this into the "viewing party thread"...

Anyone in the Western CT area? Could probably make it to anywhere in the Waterbury/Danbury/New Haven area. We don't get ESPNU, ourselves.

yeah, no excuses ;-) ... we've known since the late fall that this game (and hahvahd) was going to be televised. these 2 games have been marked in my calender as soon as the announcement that they were going to be on tv.

if something's going on for boston, please post the final details here

Hey, I agree with you guys about priorities, but an even higher priority is going to Ithaca for the Dartmouth/Harvard weekend. So, if it means hosting a dinner party on some other weekend and missing 'Gate on TV in order to have a little leverage later on, so be it. And Sarah isn't even complaining that we're one ticket short for the Harvard game (I do have a reliable source working on it, though) and she might not get in.

KeithK · January 27, 2006, 03:16:34 PM

OK, fair enough.

DeltaOne81 · January 30, 2006, 02:32:23 PM

So the only actual 'yes' I seem to have goten about Boston was Winnabago + 2 (and maybe more). I have two and maybe a couple more.

With that number, I could ask for a tv, but probably not the back room or anything. Could you please post here if anyone else is interested?

Cornell95 · January 30, 2006, 03:31:18 PM

I think I will make it and have 1-2 others with me
There are some other Cornell alums in the area I will
try contacting by e-mail as well.

bdm3 · January 30, 2006, 07:01:57 PM

Add 2 more to the list

A-19 · January 30, 2006, 07:31:59 PM

i'm interested also

Molly · January 30, 2006, 08:49:51 PM

I'm interested, but I don't know if I can make it. Depends if my bacteria will cooperate. ::uhoh::

Update: we're set with the Sports Depot. He has me down for a group Saturday night @ 7 (or a little before), game on EPSNU.

If we get at least 15-20 people we can stay in the function room in the back. If the group ends up being less than that, they may kick us elsewhere.

By my count on this thread we have a conservative count of: Me + 1, Winnabago + 2, Cornell95 + 1, bdm3 + 1, and A19 = 10. With a good number of maybes. So we'll see.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or call the Sports Depot and ask for John if he's around (its under my name (Fred), and I think he wrote down that its Cornell hockey too).
