My wife, son, and I will be sitting there this weekend cheering for the Big Red. Hey, it's easy to get tickets in section O and you get a good view of the antics of sections A & B. You also get a close up look at the sieve for two-thirds of the game.

Hey! If you're in Section O, you may be able to say hi to supermom when Princeton comes to town!

So, how do I recognize Super Mom? Will she berate me when I yell at Sievethos?

wasn't there a picture of her on the old forum?
Melissa and I saw her when we were at Princeton. Her leg was in some sort of a cast at the time. don't think the cast was orange though...

I'll keep my eyes peeled. She won't be hard to miss. On a serious note, I saw Princeton play against Notre Dame this season, and they had a freshman goalie who did a nice job. Does anyone know if Stathos has been in goal for PU or has it been the new kid?

What, no black-and-orange cast? When my mom broke her arm a few years back she got a Big Red cast. (I should scan that photo...)

Seems to me Stathos has been playing lately.

Stathos played both games last week against Clarkson and Slu. I also saw Trevor Clay play at Baker last month against Notre Dame. He looked sharp!
Hope you folks don't use up all the vulgarities and insults this weekend. Feb 23 will be my wife's first time at Lynah (my brother and sister in law have been there before) and I'd hate for her to be disappointed in the reception us Clarkson fans get.

Stathos has been the regular starter, as far as I know. I heard good things about Clay, but on the other hand, it was Notre Dame. . .
I saw Princeton (and Stathos) play against ND in Trenton in what had to be one of the worst games of college hockey ever, um, played (if you can call it that). I've never paid $5 to get into a game and felt ripped off before. . .
That said, if Cornell takes them lightly, and Princeton gets good goaltending, the Tigers could manage to pull a surprise. However, I don't think anybody is picking Cornell to lose this one.

Something tells me the vulgarities and insults aren't a particularly finite commodity in Lynah. :-{)} You just take care of bringing your wife.

Is that a promise?
Its good to know the boring vulgar chants can be repeated over and over... That droning adds a lot to the atmosphere.
Oh, she'll be there alright...and she's not easily intimidated.

Damn...why didn't anyone tell me when I bought my Clarkson ticket that RichS's wife isn't easily intimidated? Now I feel like I just threw my money away.
The boring vulgar chants, we'll leave that to Clarkson. Now the exciting vulgar chants on the other hand...
Speaking of that upcoming game, I noticed on the Clarkson pep band website that they've made T-shirts for that roadtrip. I have a feeling that they'll be changing the design, because that seems somewhat tame compared to past shirts I've seen from them.

It looks like you missed the point. Perhaps I was redundant...let me clarify. I don't find vulgarity to be "exciting". They are all boring...and just plain vulgar! Maybe Al D..."Mr. Webster" can provide the definition as he is wont to do!
I do recall fondly that in '97, the vularity and other mocking of Clarkson and its fans tapered off markedly late in the game. I wonder if the score had anything to do with it. Me thinks the real fans should have turned their energies towards rooting FOR their team to make a comeback, no?
I even recall some positive acknowledgement from a lot of cornell fans of Tech's Todd White when the Clarkson fans chanted "Hobey Baker". A nice touch...very classy!

"decenter than thou" John?
Gimme a break! Oh, and did you get approval from Al D...Mr. Webster ...before using that term?
Or is it only non-cornellians that need to do that?
Yeah, I've seen that shirt...right up "their alley" for some of the vulgar faithful!
Uh, what's your beef with "decent" behavior in public? I guess it just takes some people longer than others to mature and get there

Note no mention whatsoever that this shirt was specially made for the wonderful, squeaky-clean Clarkson band to wear. Cornell is foul; Clarkson is perfect. Jackass extraordinaire.
Even JTW is catching on to you now, Richie-boy!

I've done college radio, so I know how to stay on the right side of decency when appropriate (our first season was out of the safe harbor). I just think that cleverness and vulgarity are neither completely correlated nor completely anti-correlated.
And judging from the t-shirt some of the Clarkson contingent also share this view. (Actually I find the front of that shirt a lot more amusing than the back.)

And I recall fondly that Clarkson lost the big one (as usual) that year to the Big Red. And, for the second year in a row, Todd White--who failed to win the Hobey--was shut out on the "big ice" by Cornell's defense, and all the bush league noisemakers brought by the Clarkson crowd to make up for their mute fans were silenced.
Yes, Richie-boy, I do remember that fondly. Hope you were there to enjoy it, too.

Yeah Al...I'm sure John remembers that I never said the Tech band is squeaky clean or that Clarkson is perfect or that cornell is...whatever adjective you erroneously attributed to me this time. Nice try...keep "spinning"!
If you're going to continue to trash me, at least quote me correctly...you're sounding very desperate! My goodness, you're pathetic! Your team is running away with the RS, and all you can do is be negative??? I really feel for you...so sad.
Oh, and I've actually met John at the SIT a few years back. Can your jaded brain fathom that...and that we had a civil exchange?

Well, I guess we disagree. I think common decency in a public place precludes the spewing of vulgarities. Any mature person ought to be able to express him or herself without resorting to gutter language.
You may find it acceptable...or even enjoy its "cleverness", and perhaps don't mind if your kids hear it...but you ought to have some respect for the feelings of those who have a different view.
No point in rehashing all this here. It's been covered and I know whatever I say will be soundly refuted by those who endorse the "foul faithful" as Al called them...however many there are!

Oh, so now Todd White "failed"??? Who was the last cornellian to finish second in the voting?
My God, you really are pathetic...at least some of the fans at Lynah applauded his efforts that night and even joined in the chant...showing some class.
Class! Something you know nothing about...or at least have never shown here.
Another dig at Clarkson, as usual....and any day now, you'll be posting elsewhere how much respect you have for the Clarkson program...yeah right. And that will be followed by yet another trashing of its academics....YAWN!!!!
AL D an his endless sarcasm = TIRESOME!!
