RPI@Cornell 2/3/2018

Re: RPI@Cornell 2/3/2018

I am watching on the ivy league network and I have to say that it is the worst broadcast of any of the other ivy games that I have seen.
The camera is behind almost every play and the announcers just haven't done their homework and it shows.

Who ever is working the main camera tonight is keeping a much tighter shot than usual and yes, he or she is often behind the action. The "color" man (Tim Vanini (1987-88 – 1990-91)) is new and is questionable. Can't agree with you about Jason Weinstein.

Is there a Cornell announcer who isn’t questionable?

Being red-green colorblind, I have long given up trying to use the appropriate color for all schools, but I must add:
From the Cornell Alumni Magazine Vol 104 No. 4 describing why Cornell's uniforms are bright red
Some give credit to legendary hockey and lacrosse coach Ned Harkness, who came to the Hill in 1963. He changed the color of the hockey uniforms to bright red (perhaps because that was what he was accustomed to, after eighteen years at RPI); other Cornell sports teams followed suit.

Maybe for hockey. But "Cornell University’s colors are carnelian red and white. Cornell's first association with its signature colors was the red felt banner bearing hand-cut white letters spelling “Cornell University" used during the October 7, 1868 inauguration of the university and its first president, Andrew Dickson White. The nickname "Big Red" for Cornell teams originated in 1905." -- https://meetezra.admissions.cornell.edu/index-simple.php?responseId=467&type=2

Is Jason the one saying in our zone or our puck. None of the other ivy announcers are so overt in their rooting interests.

As I said, I am RG colorblind, but I think that the Cornell uniforms, at least in the 1960s, used a non-carnelian red which is similar to RPI's cherry color.
