Perhaps everyone should smuggle as much coke (er, Coke) as possible into The Arena Formerly Known as Knickerbocker to make a statement about the corporate motives that led to the end of the Lake Placid Experience.

Or maybe everyone in the NYC area should just go to the conference finals in Albany because it is so convenient. That would also be a statement. (Every time I try to get out of this argument, they pull me back in!)

When do we get to smuggle in bricks from the Boston Garden? Or we could just cheer something to protest the Hockey East divorce. Maybe something like "Screw BU."

Execept as we just learned from Phil B, the real reason for the switch was not convenience for the fans but sponsorship issues for the league.

But they'll be SERVING Coke. Me, I'm smuggling in Moxy. And no, I'm not that guy at the bottom of H and J.

OK, fine. But it'll be at inflated arena prices.

Correct. There is no Section I.

Just a bit of trivia - there was a section I through at least 'the '71-72 season. At that point there was no Section O. In '72-'73 or shortly thereafter, Section I was eliminated and the subsequent letters all moved around one section.

Makes sense. After all, there's no "I" in "Lynah."

WE WILL ALL BE WIDE AWAKE AND TALKING A MILE A MINUTE!!!!!!!
Yeah, the first and last time I had a Jolt Cola was in my sophomore year when the drink came out. Wow, I was wide awake at 2:00 am, and could not figure out why my body did not want to fall asleep. Bad trip, man....

"Bawls" is the new, Cornell-related equivalent:

Tell me about it. When I was a junior I had a job at Collegetown Bagels working the last shift on Sunday nights. I would usually get out of work at ~3AM (an hour after last call + clean up). One Monday I had papers due in two classes. The first was due at noon, and the other at 7PM. The plan was to write the first paper, turn it in, get some sleep and then write the second paper. (Note to the kids: this is NOT recommended behavior)
I grabbed a sixpack of Jolt from the CTB cooler, walked across the street to my Sheldon Court dorm and mainlined 4 cans so that I could write the first paper. Needless to say, I wrote it much faster than I anticipated that I would. (When you are writing crap, it writes itself quickly.) At 6:30AM I was done, but it was too early to turn the paper in. My prof's secretary was obviously not at work, and we needed to sign in when we delivered our papers. So I tried to go to sleep. I felt like every after-school special "cautionary example". I was both freezing and burning up, and I couldn't stop shaking. After shivering and shaking for a while, I decided to just get up and walk it off. So I walked up to campus to get breakfast at Trillium. It was even too early to go get breakfast, and I had to sit on the steps and wait for the doors to be unlocked. I think I was still shivering. The buzz didn't wear off for a long time. The evening paper was of dubious quality as well.
I blame Jolt for everything. Because it wasn't my fault.

Moxie - ugh!

Has anyone reading this actually tried Moxie? It is a bizarre taste likely in the style of many elixirs from the past. I wouldn't know as I have never tried any other similarly medicinal soft drink.

Hmm. Caffeine doesn't appear to work as advertised on me. Chugged a 6-pack of Jolt at about 8pm before attempting to study for an Orgo test and fell asleep within 20 minutes.

First, caffeine doesn't always work instantly (unless you crush some No-Doz and snort it - it depends on how it's ingested). Second, although it can be a strong stimulant, if you're already exhausted, it's not necessarily going to keep you from falling asleep.
Third, I don't understand why anybody would drink six Jolts when they could just have a 2-liter of Mountain Dew. At least it tastes good!

Jolt does taste gross, but by what definition of "good" does Mountain Dew taste "good"? I'd rather have crab juice.

Maybe I could bring some to the Freshmen Sendoff this summer, and introduce this drink to the newbies
