It's a recent thing.
Don't remember doing that when I was a student. Hmmm, maybe it was the pre-parties before the games
It's a recent thing.

So you're the one who started all this!!!!!
I originally said:Was surprised Cornell did "home of the Red" in the SSB. WCHA fans are only used to home of the sioux, which is annoying enough.

He's a little short guy with a big resentment that matches his font. The last time CC won a national tourney, I wasn't even born and I'm three days older than baseball.

Any word on who the refs will be for the games? Just curious . . .
UNH is bringing their band, and the majority of noise will most likely come from that section. I will be very surprised if Denver sends their band (cost), but I would assume both Cornell and RIT will -- although if the Big Red band goes to 'Cuse instead, I'm good with it
For me, bands are one of the things that make college hockey. A lot of times, they are the only representatives of the student section that are able to travel 'en masse', and they bring their energy with them. As far as I'm concerned, the LESS piped in music, the better. Let teach band play every other time out!

I'd be shocked if the Cornell band wasn't there. The game against Kentucky is Thursday night in Syracuse...short bus ride to Albany from there on Friday and if need be (doing some serious finger crossing and praying here) could drive back or split squad to go back to Syracuse Saturday

By the way...I've only been on this site a few years, but in that time this has been the most informative, well-mannered thread I've seen, involving multiple fan bases (although this might be because there are so few Cornellian contributors on USCHO).
keep it up!!
(of course I know this jinxes it...I'll sit back and wait for the arguments of who's girls are hotter and which school is ranked better now )

Absolutely. Leave it and the "let's get ready to rummmmble" infantile PA announcers to the pros. (Or better yet, get rid of it entirely.)

Re: East Regional: #1 Denver v. #4 RIT; #2 Cornell v. #3 New Hampshire
I was thinking the same thing. It's a refreshing change from so many other threads. I think it's partially because of the unfamiliarity of the teams / posters with each other. I like these threads, where it's as much about getting to know the other team you're playing, and the area (I've never been to Albany).
I've also noticed, despite their rabid fan base and loyalty, and how well they travel, there are few Big Red posters on here. But with basketball, men's and women's hockey in the NCAAs, who has the time?
Cornell has the hottest girls -- I know CU@UNH09, and she wins, hands down.
Wait, my wife posted on here earlier. Crap, looks like a couch slept night for me.
Um, RIT shouldn't even be in this tournament. And DU is WAY overrated..

RIT is sending their band. We're also sending 2 full fan buses, and many other students / alumni are making the drive as well. Should be a great atmosphere there Friday!

It's cool that this thread went on the fan competition type roll. I don't often share facts here because usually very knowledgeable fans on here have it covered. I do have the rather elusive UNH Media Guide and I can share some stats. This will be the 24th time in history that CU and UNH have played. So far (including this season's game ) it's 12W-CU and 11W-UNH and no ties. 11 of 24 played at neutral venues. One game went into OT (2OT) 03/11/1977 score: (believe it or not)UNH-10 Cornell-9. Non-neutral site games:UNH@home has only lost one -(this year).UNH has won 3 @ home.Big RED has won 6 @ home and lost to UNH 4 times @ home. @ neutral sites:UNH is 4W 6L. Of course the 11th neutral site game is Friday. If anyone is interested in more stats this guide is pretty good -just ask.

Re: East Regional: #1 Denver v. #4 RIT; #2 Cornell v. #3 New Hampshire
I would very much doubt the Denver band will be in Albany. That would cost about $25,000 to play for 50 DU fans, and in today's economy, that's just not smart for a regional that's 1600 miles away.
If I were DU, I'd ask RPI's band to play for us and them send some jerseys and the fight song sheet music. RPI coach Seth Appert was a DU assistant for a long time....

What he doesn't know is my lawyer is CU@UNH09's dad.
It's still up in there air whether I'm driving to Albany myself, or if someone's taking me so I can ride the little bus home. Leaving Manch around 3, any thoughts on traffic? Or detours to watch out for in Western MA? What should I watch for getting off 90 in Albany? Where should I park, so late in the *ahem* game?

I understand the cost factor completely.
I wondered if they'd ask somebody else to play for them; it's happened, for other teams, in the past.

Re: East Regional: #1 Denver v. #4 RIT; #2 Cornell v. #3 New Hampshire
That's a great option, but unfortunately, unlikely to happen. The RPI pep band has not had the same commitment that they had in past seasons and are done for the academic year. I also know that they have elections this Saturday and those will take all day.
I'm looking forward to a great weekend of hockey at the TUC.
