Hey guys,
I'm in the process of putting a sign or two together for the game, but I don't have any very funny or insulting ideas in mind. I want to hear some suggestions out there.

Let's go red.

My favorite from the last couple of years at Lynah East has been 'Blue Blood or Crimson? We can't tell!' and 'Bright Arena, Stupid School!', but the later obviously wouldn't work well tomorrow night.
I'm just a big fan of the 'blue blood', 'silver spoon', and 'grade inflation' chants. That said, it's better at Lynah East.

You know Harvard was practically handing out sign fodder back when they were blowing 3 goal leads in the 3rd to Maine in the NCAAs. But considering neither team has been to the NCAAs the past two years those "choking" signs don't hold the same weight anymore.

Yeah... I remember you and Tom had your "Ironic: we invented the Heimlich maneuver, and you choked" sign back then. Right now I'm trying to come up with a play on words involving fish.

The goalie's name is Hoyle, that has to be good for something. They also have another Moore now so you can bring back the Moore-on chants.

How about something along the lines that Dryden (as far we know) never cheated?

Really? Goddammit, I thought we'd seen the last of them. I suppose next you're going to tell me there's another Tapper playing at RPI.Chris '03

I like how the fish is worried yet resigned to his fate.

what's the appropriate time for the first "where is richter" chant? starting line-ups, first goal?
i'm making up a list of notorious harvard alumni who cheated...
1. richter, who cheated on a test
2. teddy kennedy, who cheated on a spanish test
3. eliot spitzer, who cheated on his wife
4. former enron ceo jeffrey skilling, who cheated people out of their savings
5. mark zuckerbug, who cheated people of their privacy with facebook's news feed (a stretch i know)
is there anyone else? maybe a way to say teddy kaczynski (the unabomber) cheated?

Right after line-ups are announced would seem to be fitting.tretiak

This is a quote from Brendon Nash in today's Sun:
[cornellsun.com]
It sounds the same from the student section, but I wonder how much louder it was on the ice before the new glass was put up.
“The high glass really blocks [the crowd] out so we are able to focus a little bit,” Nash joked. “It gets in your ear but you’re out there for a reason.”

On a related note, the new glass also stopped our ability to storm the ice by jumping over the boards.
This means that the last time that students jumped the boards at Lynah was our 2004-2005 clincher against Clarkson, when Topher scored, looked at the crowd, and jumped about 5 feet.

Anyone else think of Douglas Murray when they saw this? Also, you spelled Hahvahd wrong in your poster...

What about that chick that plagiarized her book? Was she Harvard or some other non-Cornell Ivy?
Edit: Kaavya Viswanathan is indeed a Harvard alumna, according to IvyGate, my fave Ivy League blog.

It was well before that. They replaced the glass with seamless glass in the summer of 2000, and after that they said no more climbing the glass, making my freshman year ('99-2000) the last time people climbed over the glass after a playoff series.
I'm 100% sure it never happened from then through '03-'04 when I left he hill with my MEng. I guess it could've happened again a year later after the Clarkson game winner, but it would have been the first time in a long time (and quite unsafe due to the seamless glass).

Good to know, but people definitely jumped the glass after that Clarkson win- I was in Section B at the time. It wasn't everyone (they opened the zamboni doors for most people) but a ton of people did jump.
