   Thanks Art, I could not have said it better. There was nothing like
hearing that bell the night we beat Cornell 2-1 in OT, the first time The
Big UGLY Red were willing to make the northern loop in a dozen years.
Ned Harkness could no longer avoid the Golden Knights, but he should have.
 
Well, there were better things than the bell, beer blasts, Zoonie Boonie,
etc., etc., etc. but the bell and Walker arena were part of it.
