NYC viewing?

You really want to put down "bandwagon fans" in the same breath as defending the Yankees...?

What network / station is showing Friday's game?

[mk345]

You can subscribe online for a sports package to see playoff games. I think it's 6.95/game, maybe there is a discount for a batch. On TV, it will be most likely CSTV who will air the games.

Just wondering, those people who are planning to get together for Cornell games viewing, when did/will you graduate?

To steer this tired topic to a different direction, may I remind you that Cornell hockey fans are generally seen around the league to be as annoying as typical Sox/Yanks fans.  People either love us or hate us, there's no middle ground.

Good.  :-D

Re: Delta- yeah, I know. I was being deliberately hyperbolic. I mean, I really do feel that way, but I generally agree with your usage issue, if I were reading that as someone being completely serious (which I don't think I ever am on these fora). I show my opposition to ideas, paradigms, governments, laws, and yes, sports teams etc. by withholding my insignificant amount of money.

Re: nyc94- a cop who wants to see if the crazy chick he chatted up in the bar the prior weekend was really as much of a Yankees fanatic as she claimed.

Re: Beeeej- As someone who's been a Yankees fan as long as she's known what a baseball is, I have no moral dilemma calling out bandwagon Red Sox fans.

Except at Princeton, where the last semblance of a pulse was reported in the 60s.

That also explains how up they are with the playoff terminology.  After I read the headline, I immediately began waiting for the 4 horsemen:

I refuse to give money to establishments that facilitate or encourage cockfighting.  And that's the sport of kings.

Horse racing is the sport of kings.  Cockfighting is the sport of queens.  Get it?  Queens?

Interesting but...

Aqueduct and Belmont are both in....Queens.

Get it ?  :-D

Sorry for the bump, but... did any viewing parties end up happening?  I just got into the city, and there's a good chance I'll be free tomorrow evening.  I'd love to sit down at some bar with some fellow Cornellians to watch the game.

I'm a proud Masshole, so Red Sox-friendly bars are okay by me

LGR!

Let's get as many Faithful at Ship of Fools 82nd and 2nd) as possible. Who's in? Who can get there early, say 7:15, to make sure we're set up with at least one well-placed TV? (Not me, only gametime arrival possible). Anybody want to volunteer to call the bar in the afternoon to set things up? We may have to agree to buy a minimum of $25 of drinks, etc. per Faithful. Good negotiators and ILRees, please step up. LGR!

[ftyuv]

Yikes, the idea of a minimum drink cover doesn't appeal to me -- I'm just a lowly undergrad trying to save money.  Anyway if other people plan to be there and there's not a high cover (including minimum drinks), I'll be there.  I'd rather not be the one to set something up, though, cause I suck at negotiations (in case we'd need to).

There are only two 8 PM NCAA basketball games tonight so getting a television should be less of a problem.
