Well I couldn't help but notice that Vicari, a junior, was born in '82 making him 23. That makes this 22 year old senior seem young in comparison, so I figure reminding him of his senior citizen college student status is fair game.
I've heard of super seniors but super juniors?

It's not at all uncommon for college hockey players - particularly those from Canada - to enroll as freshman in an American college two or three years later than "normal" track students. You're unlikely to get a rise out of him by pointing out that he's 23.

I was going to mention that a bunch of our players are pretty old too, but I can't find any of their birthdates. I know I've seen them somewhere, but it's not on the athletics roster or in the media guide that I can find.

None of the current players are significantly older than most of their class, by my recollection.

Denis Ladouceur was the oldest player I recall seeing play for Cornell. Pretty sure he was 21 when he matriculated. Then of course there's Dick Bertrand, who was 29 in the 1970 championship season.

If one can't be scathing and witty, just be loud and supportive.
Like Blue Nun claimed to be, "Let's Go Red" is always correct. "Sieve" works well, especially for the third, fourth, and fifth goals.
Maybe you could let them know they're not even worthy of fish. Might be too subtle. (Paraphrasing Elaine's line on Seinfeld, "You're not fish-worthy"?) Maybe they'll think it's a born-again reference.
If you get that gorgeous five seconds of silence when the whole rink can hear, "Vicari -- your mother called. And she said [pause] .... "
Remind them of any recent losses to Michigan in any sport. Deep down, most of the students realize they were 200 SAT points shy of going to the better state school. This may be lost on the players.
If State scores and has no band in-house, the Big Red Band should be magnimonious and (softly) play Hail to the Victors Valiant.
How about some signs supporting the Cornell hockey webcast (very tongue in cheek)?
Gad, I wish I could be there. Unless there's divine intervention, I think it's webcast or nothing. Used to be, a moral dilemma was whether or not to sign a petition to declare the Arts Quad a nuclear free zone (laugh, but the entire town of Amherst, Mass., once did that, as if they were in danger of getting the Manhattan Project II). Now, the delimma is, do I go see kid's final soccer game (of the season) and his hockey game, or do I blow off my first-born and drive 200 miles to see Big Red hockey?

Alright, so I was wrong. Krantz will be 24 and Glover, Mugford, Kindret, and Davenport will be 23 when they are all seniors. Krantz really the only real over-age one in the bunch. I guess I had thought mainly of the 06 class which is quite normally aged.

And Bertrand got screwed out of playing in the NCAA champsionships because the NCAA banned older foreigners from the tournament. Didn't matter if you had been in the service of your country (USA notwithstanding), or in Bertand's case in service of Ontario as a police officer ... he was out.

PERSONAL: Born Oct. 30, 1982 • A criminal justice major • Spent the summer of 2004 completing an internship with the Ingham County Sheriff's Department • Enjoys golf, jet skiing and dirt bike riding • Graduated from Millard North High School in Omaha, Neb. • Nickname is "Vic" • Favorite NHL team: Detroit Red Wings • Favorite NHL player: Manny Legace • Lists "Of Mice and Men" as his favorite book and "Rudy" as his favorite movie • Son of Joe and Rosalie Vicari • Father played football at Central Michigan, while his mother played competitive tennis • Says his dad is his idol, since "he has a great work ethic and has always supported and encouraged me."
I'm working on phone numbers, but ive only found a john and a T J vicari in his hometown, so keep looking.
That should be a good start, and should be distributed prior to the game

P.S. Going to his bio page and printing out some information is not anything special. Now, if you can find someway funny and insulting to use it, go ahead... but a bio sheet is not an accomplishment.

i think the band playing hail to victors at some point would be funny. during warm ups when state comes out would be pretty hilarious. or at a random point in the game
there is a song sung at michigan that goes something like this, adapted for cornell
"if you cant go to cornell, go to michigan
if you cant go to michigan go to western michigan
if u cant go to western michigan go to ferris state
if u cant go to state go to michigan tech
if u cant go to tech go to anywhere
if u cant go anywhere go to michigan state"
this is probably not the correct order. note always put the team that you are playing last and you first

Vicari is from the US, but yeah I understand that some college players are older than most students in their year
Still I think they at least take some jokes from teammates when it comes to their age, like I'm sure Krantz hears his fair share of over the hill jokes with our players
It is mentioned later on in this post too, but the fact that his birthday is Sunday could be something to work off of

The "Recruits" thread indicates that Chay Genoway will be visiting Cornell in October. How about a "Genoway, Here to Stay" chant if we can find out that he's here.
Also some positive chants welcoming the freshman (and returning players) would be good not only for them but would make an impression on anyone we're recruiting.

2) While a well-timed Florence Nightengale reference may work, please don't think it's original. I'm sure he's heard every variation there is over the course of his life.

For that matter, most of the old standard cheers have been plagiarized by Michigan. State players have heard them before, but with - hopefully - a little less volume. They'll be effective.

Now I know that a lot of the big state schools have that whole "if you can't get into U go to state...etc," but we don't want to use that since state comes so high up in that cheer. So what about to the same tune,
"If you can't get into U go to state, If you can't get into U go to state, If you can't get into U and you need a safety school, If you can't get into U go to state."
I don't know if the band could get in on that too, to organize the cheer a little bit, instead of one small group saying it, but I think it could work.Re: My favorite is..Posted by: ctenah (---.resnet.cornell.edu)Date: October 27, 2005 03:00PM

Throw absolutely nothing on the ice except newspapers, and those only during introductions. If you cause a Cornell penalty, you will likely not escape Lynah alive.

If you're going to throw them, definitely make a sign, so everyone understands and can get in on the fun. Besides, signs are fun.
Damn, I wish I were in Ithaca this weekend.

Toothpaste boxes and porn? Those are new to me.
And really, you're welcome to throw whatever you want. It's a free country. Just don't say I didn't warn you of the possible consequences. Refs aren't always the happy-go-lucky, free-spirited humorists we hope they'll be.

see [www.elynah.com] for the fish/toothpaste boxes, with the additional variation of porn for the U-18 team two years ago (and presumably this year as well?)
I guess my point is that you're not really creating any extra delay by throwing something fairly clean and easy to pick up when the rink staff is already out there picking stuff up, and I don't see any sane ref disagreeing - nor do I think I'm giving the ECAC refs too much credit.

A trojan box may be a little easier to pick up. Although I think throwing either (BEFORE faceoff) probably won't draw a penalty, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable taking a chance in a game of this magnitude.

Getting MSU and U of M confused is a common mistake that drives folks from both schools absolutely nuts. Some of the Faithful can doubtless find a creative way to exploit this one, at the expense of looking clueless themselves.
Maize & BluePosted by: FStarr (---.twcny.res.rr.com)Date: October 28, 2005 11:53AM
I am enough of a UM fan to have some maize & blue (Michigan's colors) apparel. Thinking of going all decked out to one of the games... of course red is always good but I'm hoping wearing maize & blue would have the affect of, wtf who came from Ann Arbor / went to the effort to bring that stuff here? Especially when coupled with Hail to the Victors.
Not trying to copy everything from Michigan, but since they take enough from us, and Cornell vs. MSU means nothing rivalrywise, why not have a little fun with it?
Just hoping no Cornell fans get confused and think I'm wearing MSU stuff.Re: Maize & BluePosted by: Pace (---.twcny.res.rr.com)Date: October 28, 2005 12:20PM
That's actually pretty funny. If we were all better organised (read: less lazy) it would be absolutely hilarious to get a whole section decked out in UM stuff and have them pester MSU. It'd freak the shit out of the Spartans.

Sounds funny at first glance, but I think a section full of maize and blue might seem like some sort of inferiority complex. Come on, we can do a fine job taunting MSU as Cornell fans. We don't need to lean on the Wolverines. One round of Victors is a nice jab, but beyond that we ought to stand on our own taunting abilities.
Besides, no sense leaving the impression that we are the one copying UM and not the other way around.Re: Michigan State cheersPosted by: DeltaOne81 (---.raytheon.com)Date: October 28, 2005 03:39PM

Hey, if it freaks the shit out of the opposing team, I honestly don't care if it seems like we're copying anyone.
