What do hockey players, N*Sync, and the Cornell Senior Prom have to do with each other? Beats me, but apparently Slope Media had something in mind when they made this video of the men’s hockey team dancing (poorly) to N*Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” which is supposed to promote “Duff Ball.” (The name made me really excited because I thought it might be Simpsons-themed, but then I realized it was just held in the Duffield Hall Atrium. Boo.)

PS: It just dawned on me that they’re saying goodbye to Cornell… I guess the one-night stand between the hockey team and Cornell didn’t go so well in the end.

Metaezra.com reports Cornell’s departure from the Ivy League, which is actually a basketball sports conference and not a get-together on Nantucket for good ol’ boys. Now that we’re not actually Ivy anymore, where’s our prestige?

Who’s ready to see our men’s basketball team (14-seeded) lose to Silicon Valley’s Stanford (3) in Anaheim, CA on Thursday?

I am! (I just happen to be in L.A. for break and gotta go out and support my beloved Big Red Basketeers.)

Oh, and the Big Red Basketettes (16- and last-seeded) will be losing to top-ranked UConn on Sunday in Bridgeport, CT.

 UPDATE: Both teams lost, as predicted.
