Frozen Four[TM] Chat

Is anybody going to be on the Lynah Chat today, tonight or Saturday? Are we rooting for UNH so we can say we were barely eliminated by the eventual national champions?

No. Yes.

Wish I could. No IRC client on the PC at work.

Same here. No way to chat through the firewall. I may sneak home a little early. And yes, we should root for UNH, even if means I have to listen to my father sing the fight song over the phone again.

I thought your family were from Maine?

They are from Maine. Both parents got their undergrad degrees from UNH, where they were season ticket holders, and their graduate degrees from Maine. The undergrad allegiance is still the strongest when it comes to hockey, although they'll claim victory today either way. They claim that the first year they had tickets the games were outside and that Snively didn't open until the next year, but I've never checked the history. They may have walked uphill both ways, too.

I don't have to worry about these conflicts of interest, since Cornell and UCSB tend not to play each other very often. I suppose Utah and UCSB could meet in the men's squeakball tourney, but I don't recall it happening since I was in Salt Lake. Uni Bern and UT Brownsville aren't even in the NCAA, so no conflicts there.

I think I found the easiest way to avoid these conflicts...

But whom do you support in the red-white game?

Or you could adamantly refuse to care about any of the sports programs at the next school you go to.

You could add Columbia JD '98 to my sig line, but you'll never hear me cheering for the Lions.

See I just want a doctorate from Yale so I can then be a professor at Harvard. That way I can fuck with my students during Football season *and* hockey season.

(Neat fact: Harvard has a level of prof above full professor called univeristy professor. Best perk of being a university professor? You are allow to graze your cow on the green.)

I hope if you actually become a Harvard professor, you'll take advantage of that, because it'd just be too funny.

They're just trying to copy the original Cambridge, which a French houseguest of my landlady once called "la ville avec les vaches".

Well, I suspect they won't make me a university professor unless I can spell university correctly. Anyway, I'd far rather be a Cornell prof. Maybe I can get tenure just in time to take over the cowbell from Age.

If I did have to settle for being a prof at Harvahd, do you think I could get "Let's Go Red!" tattooed on the side of my holstein?

I think you could take up a collection from the regular posters on this board to pay to get that done.

Harvard alum Samuel Eliot Morison's history of Hahvahd, describing the founding committee's activities of 1636, says: "The house next Shepard's and the cow-yard behind it were purchased by the committee; a master was engaged; and there the first freshman class...was gathered in the early summer of 1638; and the New Town was promptly renamed Cambridge."

Once a cow college, always a cow college.
