clarkson @ cornell, ecachl second round chatter

[Drew]

Great JTW, appreciate the insight, I will literally be a last minute decision. Last question, can I make in 4 hours from NYC? I am in Westchester 1/2 hour from the city to be exact.

You are right it wasn't a real "complaint," more so a response to the writer's question about the injuries and whether they'd be healthy for Union/RPI. Schafer was just letting Cornell fans know that we might be surprised by the injuries.

Maybe it's that we are calling them out for inconsistent play, where injuries might be playing a huge factor, and he wanted to throw that out there. It was hardly him saying Cornell has more injuries than team "X" or whatever.

Yes you should be able to make it, assuming you drive a bit above the speed limit.  I'd avoid the Nines.  The pizza is of variable quality (usually very good but sometimes its "eh") and the service (if you can call it that) will leave you too worried about whether you can get to the game on time to enjoy your pizza.  I agree with Rich about Ruloffs and Chapter House (get some of the free popcorn--you won't be disappointed).  If you are in the mood, get a burger at Ruloffs--they are very good.

Reading that horrific GPL thread that features one Gopher fan after another talking about their complete "domination" of Cornell last year makes me want to face them again. I'd put them on the list of teams I'd like to face in the NCAAs. Kudos to Ari for posting on that forum.

I've never had less than an excellent pizza at The Nines.  The service, though, is amazingly slow.  They just don't have the ability to manage a rush.

Just forget them.  We all know the truth of what happened last year, for better or for worse.  Let us hope that we'll get a chance for a rematch with a Cornell victory in the end.

Definitely lots of complaining on that board, but I have to admit that this possible shirt slogan was funny, especially with all the talk about the lack of scoring:

Cornell Hockey. Offense is Offensive.

drew, a good place for a meal, although a bit far from campus but not hard to get to, is rosa's. it in pyramid mall on triphammer road. I assume this place is still open
very quick service, all kinds of food and very reasonable pricing. i may be there

[Drew]

Thanks jy3!  I appreciate everyone's help....you guys have been very cool. Ready for hell during the game, but expect all of us to be gentlemen for pre and post game festivities if given the chance......trash talking of course is always accepted ;-)
I hope things work that I can get there....Will keep ya posted.

What the fook is Rosa's? You sending Drew on a wild goose chase? I think what he means is The Rose. Food is eh and it's farther from the rink than Collegetown, plus you'll probably never find it without a local.

As for travel, it will be somewhere around 4 hours. Something between 3:45 and 4:15, depending on how friendly you want to get with the troopers on 17. There was that one time it happened in 3:15, but that's a story for another day...

That Rodent forum struck me as the reaction when some self important jock hears that a woman he had a one night stand with is telling everyone he's only got four inches.  

"Methinks they doth protest too much."

oops, age is right
no idea where rosas came from. damn wine! ::help:: sorry drew

Post-game...I love the Chapter House on Stewart Ave. for unwinding, and they have a great selection, upwards of 30 beers.  Dunbar's is the hockey dive straight up the hill from Chapter House, but you may not want to go there with opposing clothes.  :-)[/quote]

Would it help if I had a well-worn cornell Lacrosse cap on?  With a Clarkson jersey of sweater of course.

Drew, does this mean we're not riding up together?  You're killin' me buddy.

As for drinking, we need to start early in the day so that we can hit my favorite watering hole in Binghamton on the way.  Good drink, good grub, and best of all perhaps....no annoying faithful.....lol.

Actually, I look forward to a few pre or post game brews with you guys.  Just don't stain my "Taylor" Tech jersey.  :-D

[Drew]

Rich, Gimme a break man, I sent you a PM take it off line.

BTW take a look at the posts, the guys have been pretty helpful and far from "annoying"  and if I roll into their campus I expect some good natured ribbing from them,  as I have a beer, its all part of the college game.
