Perhaps we should take up a collection for those poor folks at Harvard so
they can hire a local band.  For the past two years in Albany, the Harvard
pep band has accompanied the team and fans, playing during the Friday
semi-finals. However, despite advancing to the finals both last year and the
year before, there was no sign of Harvard's pep band at the finals on
Saturday night.  I understand that it costs money to transport and house
band members on an overnight trip, but this is Harvard.
Since they have won the national championship once in the past, you would
think that some alumnus or group of alumni might be tapped for some expense
money to finance the pep band.  It's not like all the Harvard alumni are
poor farmers (actually, a lot of them are Democrats so that might explain
it).  I would think that Harvard would be embarrassed to be playing Cornell
for the ECACHL championship and have the only music in the house coming from
the Cornell pep band
