[Great time at Cornell]

I agree that the area is very underrated. I have been fortunate to see almost all of this country and was actually stunned at the natural beauty. Had I known, I probably would have tried to schedule a couple of extra days into my trip. I will definitely go back some time, and wouldn't mind catching a Big Red game. I would guess Harvard tickets are almost impossible. Any other good rivalries that might have similar atmosphere, perhaps RPI or the North Country teams?

Cornell has the North Country at home this weekend so you'd have to plan quickly. I think the best remaining weekend will be RPI-Union Feb 26-27.

Just up on eLynah are a lot of great pictures of Saturdays games. Sioux fans are in a few. Go here:Sioux-Cornell Photos

[Eades about Cornell]

I think it's funny that Cornell fans brag about the Lynah advantage but I don't think the rink is anymore intimidating than any other WCHA rink. Then I read somewhere that no Western team had been there since 1979. So if anything that advantage is probably over stated. Maybe the WCHA needs to travel to some of these places and play.

The students were still on break, so I'd say we had only about 50% of our usual idiocy. Because of that, much of the crowd was people who don't often get a chance to score a ticket, resulting in a more sedate group. Not to mention that due to Sioux' incredible in-your-face-constant-pressure defense, we were holding our breaths for much of the time. Heck, what was it? Eight minutes the whole weekend we had a lead?

Can a Cornell guy be a Sioux fan? I'd love to wear one of those excellent black jersies while I watch on DirecTV...
