When a storm comes, the bison doesn't run from it — it runs into it, because that's the fastest way through. It's a philosophy Cornell senior quarterback Garrett Bass-Sulpizio learned from his mother Cathy long before he ever needed it on a football field.

And he's needed it often. A broken shoulder midway through his senior year of high school cost him other college offers — but not Cornell's. A coaching change during his first year on campus meant proving himself all over again. A quarterback competition with Devin Page pushed him to become the player he is today.

"I wouldn't be sitting in this chair and being as prepared as I am for this next upcoming season if it wasn't for Devin. We make each other better."

Bito is entering his senior season at the helm of a Cornell offense and a leader of a team looking to do something that hasn't been done in Ithaca in a long time — compete for an Ivy title.

"We're finally at the point where we can say that we've done the work, and we're in the hunt."

For the first time in more than a decade, the line is back.

Cornell Athletics will bring back The Great Wait on Saturday, September 19, as the traditional kickoff to men's ice hockey student season ticket sales, but this year’s edition trades the overnight campout of Great Waits past for a single morning at Bartels Hall.

“There’s nothing like the energy of the Lynah Faithful, and seeing students lined up again to be part of that is exactly what makes this program special,” said Casey Jones ’90, the Jay R. Bloom ’77 Head Coach of Cornell Men’s Hockey. “Our fans push us every single night, and I’m excited for a new group of students to experience what it means to be part of that tradition.”

The Great Wait has been a Cornell tradition dating back to the 1970s. Students camped out, sometimes for days at a time, to secure a place in the Lynah Rink’s student section. It helped create a bond that made the Lynah Faithful one of the most acclaimed student sections in collegiate sports.
