Before I forget . . . I wanted to alert everyone to a very special event on SNY this Friday night:
Yup, Cornell at RPI hockey, a showdown of traditional programs, both of which Ned Harkness coached to national titles. (UPDATE: Good Guys 2, Other Team 1.)
(I have a copy of the picture at right on the wall of my office in the basement, by the way.)
The first time I ever saw MTV was on a visit to Troy for the 1982 Cornell-RPI tilt. It was mesmerizing. We were easily amused back then.
Here's something funnier about Cornell athletics:
The basketball team executed one of the most radical two-game swings in NCAA history this week, going from losing at Duke Sunday to winning at home against Division III Alvernia Thursday.
Next up: Tuesday night against NJIT in Newark.
NJIT currently is 0-17, but it could build some momentum by beating Columbia Saturday.
OK, that's it. Enjoy the hockey game. And the NFL playoffs, if you are so inclined.

Now there's a scoop! Cornell at 7:00, Isles at 9:00. Hockey Night in New York!
Former Devil radio announcer John Hennessy is calling the play-by-play. Haven't heard him since he wasn't asked back by the Devils.
Hennessy was the voice of the Albany River Rats before joining the Devils.
Cornell could beat the Rangers the way the Broadway Blues are playing.
Perfect weekend in the Capital District for Cornell... at least for me.
Cornell 2, RPI 1
Union 2, Cornell 1 :)
