Don't bother rushing with the video boards if you don't have anyone who knows how to operate them.
Will be be interesting to see how the football board is used during the Harvard game at Fitton.

Are you suggesting that HC should be in the Entertainment Business. 🤣🤣 It may be needed to operate the Video Boards. They are a tad more complicated than an Etch o Sketch.

There is an open practice for the fully vaccinated on 10-16. I couldn’t see the time on the Instagram post.

Appears from the pictures above that the Video Boards and Ribbons have yet to arrive from Brookings SD. Hope that can be installed within the next 40 days to allow for calibrations and adjustments before the seasons begin. Given the national shortage of personnel ( i.e. truck drivers ) it's 50-50 at best.

The first allowable date was September 28. Did HC opt to start later then the first allowable date?

Probably. We see no need for any extra practice. You know, don't want to get too sharp an edge.

NCAA mandates one day off per week, when a week starts might have an affect on the starting day of the season. If the practices start on Wednesday, the week would be Wednesday to Wednesday...Now it is Friday to Friday, I think... Bison might know the exact way the week is calculated...There may be reasons we are not in tune to, a few days at the beginning doesn't really have much change on the season...

Bison might know the exact way the week is calculated...There may be reasons we are not in tune to, a few days at the beginning doesn't really have much change on the season... The rule for awhile has been that practice is allowed to start 42 days before a team's first game. For HC and many other teams, that meant it could begin on Tuesday. No matter when a team starts practice, they are allowed 30 actual practices prior to the first game. That means if a team starts 42 days prior, then they are allowed to practice five days a week and have two off-days.. If a team opted to start 35 days before the first game, then they could practice six days a week - but very few teams prefer that alternative. Less rest and the same number of days of actual practice.

Also a Saturday game at Army (Feb 5) - has been a Wednesday for the last decade or so - now it becomes a game those of us n the northern NY metro area can make

A bit unusual, maybe due to TV ?
2. Thursday games 1 Friday game 1 Tuesday game 1 Sunday game

A bit unusual, maybe due to TV ? 2. Thursday games 1 Friday game 1 Tuesday game 1 Sunday game It's mostly a function of the NCAA calendar, not TV. The PL tournament starts March 1st this year, which is earlier than the past few years. Thus they had to either start the PL season by December 29th or else have a week with three games. They opted for the latter - which made the first couple of weeks a bit unusual: Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday, Thursday, Sunday. Had they opted to open the league season by the 29th, then those weeks would simply be the normal Wednesday/Saturday games. The one unusual date on the HC schedule that may be due to TV is the game vs Boston U on Monday, January 31st. That one has nothing to do with having to squeeze in extra games.

Thanks. Do you know why the PL tourney is earlier this year ?

I don't like the PL starting the tournament early. Makes the winner have a long break in between the championship and the NCAA game. Also play the games on days the fans can go. PL championship games on Wednesday night.

Major conference tourneys end on the weekend of March 12-13 - if you’re saying the PL final is the previous Wednesday, that’s not a problem
