I agree - I would certainly go to a game at Iona as well, but it's probably
somewhat indicative of how important it is to people in this area that I
haven't heard the slightest peep about it.  I'll probably try to make more
of an effort next season; it might start to make up slightly for not making
it to all of Cornell's home games anymore.  :-{)}

Not to pick on you, btw - but are you saying you wouldn't bother if a
quality ECAC team came to Iona?
