I am debating making the trip up to Cornell either 12/2 or 12/3 game against Miami but it's like a 4.5 hour drive from here. I don't know if I would be able to make it up that afternoon in time for the Friday game and I have to work on Sunday so I'd probably have to make a day trip on Saturday and 9 hours of driving in one day sounds terrible and will severely impair my ability to get blackout drunk

Ithaca's pretty isolated. The only way in is driving or flying.

Greyhound stops <3 miles from Lynah. I'm not saying it's going to be pleasant, but it's an option.

Cornell's Website posted:

Travel by Bus, Car, or Train
By Bus
If you are arriving at a New York City-area airport and need to get to one of the New York City stops listed below, you can take a taxi or public bus, subway, or train. With luggage, taking a taxi is more convenient, and likely quicker, but a higher cost than public transportation. See options in the ground transportation section on the applicable airport page.

The following companies provide bus service between New York City and Ithaca (a 4.5-to-6-hour ride):

Cornell's Campus-to-Campus Express (phone 1.607.254.8747)
We recommend Cornell's executive bus, which offers direct express service (4.5 hours) with a convenient stop location on campus, comfortable seating, wireless Internet, power outlets, reading lights, complimentary beverages, and snacks. See FAQs for more information. Advance reservations needed; we suggest you book early. To make a reservation, go to https://www.c2cbus.com -> "Reservations" -> "Online Reservation Form" (you will be prompted to create a new user account).

Please note, regarding the bus stop location options:
In New York City: You have two options: The Cornell Club and Weill Medical College.
The Cornell Club is nearer to midtown Manhattan, and is the last stop, so you are on the bus a shorter time. To reach the Cornell Club via public transportation, Grand Central and Penn Stations are nearby, about 5-to-15-minute walks, or take a taxi directly.
In Ithaca: Select Sage Hall, which is nearest to the Statler Hotel.
Note: The Sage Hall stop has been temporarily re-located to Uris Hall. To walk to the Statler Hotel from there: At the intersection adjacent to the stop, cross Tower Road. Continue approximately one-half block south along East Avenue to the end of Uris Hall. Bear left across the plaza. The Statler Hotel will be on your right, and the main entrance around the corner. See map. If you want assistance from hotel staff at the bus stop, call 1.607.254.2500 when you reach the first stop on campus (this is the second stop), and ask them to meet you in ten minutes.

Big Red Bullet (phone 1.866.228.3990)
This new bus service (not affiliated with Cornell) also provides direct service. As it recently started operating, we have not received feedback or had direct experience regarding the service. To make a reservation, go to bigredbullet.com (you will be prompted to create a new user account). Note: The bus does not currently operate on Saturdays; See FAQs for more information.

Please note, regarding the bus stop locations, which may not be as convenient for you as the Cornell service stops:
In New York City, Bryant Park: From public transportation hubs in the area—Grand Central Station, Penn Station, and Port Authority Bus Terminal—it is approximately a 15-to-30-minute walk to this stop. A taxi could provide a closer drop-off point.
In Ithaca, Green Street: The Statler Hotel is approximately two miles from this stop; therefore, thirty minutes before your bus arrives in Ithaca, you can call the hotel to request a taxi pickup from the stop (phone 1.607.254.2500). Let the hotel know you are with the General Managers Program and provide your name, your arrival time, and the bus stop location.

Greyhound (phone: 1.607.272.7930 or 1.800.231.2222)
Ithaca stop: Ithaca Bus Terminal
New York City stop: Port Authority Bus Terminal
ShortLine (phone: 1.607.277.8800 or 1.800.631.8405)
Ithaca stops: Ithaca Bus Terminal and Cornell Theater Arts Center
New York City stop: Port Authority Bus Terminal

Please note, regarding Greyhound and ShortLine: Thirty minutes before your bus arrives in Ithaca, you can call the hotel to request a taxi pickup from the stop (phone 1.607.254.2500). Let the hotel know you are with the General Managers Program and provide your name, your arrival time, and the bus stop location. The Ithaca Bus Terminal building is closed at night from 6:45 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. (1845 - 0430 hrs), so if you arrive during that time, you will not be able to go inside.

There's a decent chance I may go to one of the Miami games in Ithaca but I'm less than an hour away and have a friend in the athletic dept who gets me free tix (which is the only reason I went to games last year, because Cornell is bad you see)

They were playing BC over the weekend, and I caught part of one of the games on TV. Holy poo poo it was empty as all hell.





Either they packed the poo poo out of the stands on the camera side or these are hilariously blatant lies.

Yeah Bemidji is one of those teams that doesn't really excel anywhere but they don't suck at anything either. They're still not in NoDak's league (literally :rimshot: ) but they should put up a good fight.

Not looking good for Nanooks this weekend. Terrible start to the season, salvaged by our lone win over the in state rivals Anchorage.

Really going to rely on these freshman stepping into roles and quick. If we can steal one from Mankato this weekend it could change the entire season.
