Harvard ejectsion

will they really eject fans who throw fish or is this a scare tactic?

also, will they really give a 5 minute major? that seems absurd to punish the players for what the fans do.

To answer your first question, yes. I have no doubt that they will toss several people very visibly to make an example of them. I have a feeling the police and "police auxiliary" have been told to do so. They've tossed people for much dumber things. That said, if a lot of people participate, like they always do, there's no way they can toss everyone who tosses a fish. So, it's a risk.

To answer your second question, not a 5-minute major. If a fish is tossed after the warning has been read over the PA, then Cornell will be assessed a delay of game penalty, which is a 2-minute minor. This happened in the '94-'95 game. Someone in E threw a fish as Harvard skated out for the 2nd period, the penalty was assessed, Harvard scored on the ensuing PP, and Cornell lost 2-1, I think. There was a personal in the Sun the next week that read "To the dumbass in Section E: Everybody hates you."

So, while I like the tradition of the fish toss...

DON'T THROW FISH AFTER LINEUPS BEFORE THE GAME!!!

I believe it's spelled eject-shun

It is confusing. In order to capitalize a letter, try pressing down on the SHIFT key while typing the letter.

I hit 'shift' and decided I didn't want the letter capitalized, so I hit 'shift' again while I typed, but it still came out capital? How do I make a letter not be capital when I have already hit 'shift' ??

so can we go to Bright, throw some stuff on the ice at the opening of the 2nd period, and then have Harvard serve 2 mins in the box?

As mentioned in another thread it's been tried before in Bright. 2 years ago after a Moulson hat trick (those were the days) the Hahvahd fan threw a hat onto the ice to try and get a penalty. It was in a game stoppage a little bit after the hat trick. His scheme failed though and no penalty was assessed. So short answer is: you can try, but it won't happen.

No no, I ordered it for the pink can. Silly boys can't even recognize the best part about Tab...

Smart Harvard fans might do the same to us. WAIT!! Harvard fans don't travel and they're not even that smart as evidenced by one of my all-time favorite "gotcha" stunts:

what's the story behind that? hahahaha

So this is my first Harvard game and I really want to bring a fish but I'm torn. How many other people do you think will have fish/be throwing them from section B? I'm towards the middle so I'm not as scared as if I were on the edge.

I've been trying to convince 2 friends sitting next to me to bring fish too, but they're girls and scared that they're gonna get kicked out & lose the ability to see a playoff game. (I'm about 75% convinced I'll be bringing fish, they're about 5%)

Also, someone posted that Schafer said it would be ok during a coach's meeting. That doesn't mean that the ushers won't care, does it?

Does CSTV hire a local (student) spotter or gopher to help with games or is it lower-budget than that? He or she could put a thought in their minds: It's important that CSTV know the entire history of who fired the first shot and that was -- someone verify, please -- when David Elenbaas skated onto the ice circa 1972 at Harvard, he found a chicken tied to his cage. Chicken = aggie ... so fish must = Harvard, Cornell fans concluded, and remembered ever since.

Some part of your decision should be based how you and Cornell are perceived on this national stage that is CSTV (somewhat less national of a stage in Comcast areas, where they don't carry). Is this highjinks among the nation's elite colleges as students blow off steam ... or just a mean-spirited event that should have run its course long ago?

If only there were a photo we could offer to CSTV. Larry Baum '72 might recall.

I'm debating whether to throw a fish from G or not. I'm sure I can get it over the net but I really don't want to be the only one doing it and then having 20 ushers beat me with their ego's. Anyone else in G going to throw a fish or should I just try and wait another year?

Throw your fish! Just underhand it when an usher's not looking. And then deny it to all hell if you have to.

But no, don't throw it from G. You *can* get it over the night, but you may not.

i think he has a point. If the fish doesn't make it, it lands on one of us other people in section G. If it makes it does it hit one of our guys. Otherwise i think trow away. Better yet throw something with tentacles, that way if it hits the net it might stick or at least fall slow enough for us to move.

I think underhand is the key though. I would at least try to get a few people next to you to toss some paper or something just enough motion to get the ushers looking at several people. I have to guess if they are unlikely to want to toss someone if they are not 99% sure. They may not even want to toss people but may feel they have to look like they tried but that is a different story.

If you're in G, maybe head over to the bottom of E/F, and throw it over the glass there?
