...and Brad Mills. It would be a shame if Yale's two best players (arguably) aren't able to suit up when we play them early this November.

Brawling outside of a place called "Gourmet Heaven." Way to be edgy, guys. Good to see they didn't violate the mincing, uppercrust Ivy League stereotype with this scrap.

Please, it was a bit of a row, not a scrap. A scrap is something a low class Brown student would get into.

And the proper adjective to describe Brown students is "dirty hippie", not "low class".

This coming from someone who goes to school in Ithaca? 10 square miles of liberal surrounded by the real world?

Ivy League Mornings:
Princeton: yawn, feel like a geek, dress the part
Penn: give Bob the Bum a dime, check on transfer papers.
Brown: smoke breakfast, say prayer for no grade system
Columbia: deep breath of smog, take taxi to class
Dartmouth: gargle moonshine, chop wood for heating
Yale: floss, snort coke, come out of closet
Harvard: wake up, bathe in glow of undeserved rep
Cornell: wake up, sober up, cry

I stand by JMH30.

What's around Ithaca is the real world? Um... no. (Which isn't to say that Ithaca is either)

Ah, that's the stereotype of the *townies* not the students. The opposite is the stereotype of Brown students & Providence.

C'mon dearedevil, I'm pretty sure Clarksonians have their Ivy League jokes straight by now.

Gee, I thought that was Austin, or was it Ann Arbor, or any one of a number of "fine institutions of higher learning"? What happened to Potsdam?

This is over eight years old and won't appeal to everybody, but I thought I'd share it. I was helped in composing it by my friend Andy, who still to this day (despite not being a Cornellian) accompanies me to Lynah East every season.

How Different Colleges Shoot Themselves in the Foot

Harvard: It shoots itself in the foot, but since the Medical School and other departments have their own feet, nobody takes care of it, and it bleeds to death.

Yale: Feet? How gauche. We've been shooting ourselves in the knee since long before Harvard started shooting themselves in the foot.

Cornell: It shoots itself in the foot, amputates the foot, sticks it atop the spire on McGraw Tower, and places a webcam near it.

Dartmouth: It shoots itself in the foot, but the bullet bounces off the kevlar shell of the hiking boot and lodges itself in one of the walls of Rollins Chapel.

University of Pennsylvania: It shoots itself in the foot, then writes dozens of angry letters to the Daily Sun about those idiots from Cornell who supplied the bullets.

Princeton: It shoots itself in the foot with an original, platinum-plated Colt 1840 with mother-of-pearl handles and silver bullets, then complains to its alumni that it really could use a better selection of firearms.

Brown: It opens a meaningful dialogue with its foot, a pistol, and a bow and arrow, and discusses the oppression of appendages.

Columbia: After it keeps missing its foot, it petitions the Ivy League for permission to buy laser-sights, then continues to miss its foot.

MIT: It designs an automatic, perpetual foot-shooting device powered by stale oatmeal, and stages a demonstration of the device during a Notre Dame football game.

Stanford: It tattoos itself in the foot, then decides to go ahead and pierce it, too.

Univ. of Chicago: It sets up a foot-shooting staging area in the squash courts beneath the stadium, gathers Nobel foot-shooting laureates and press junkets near, performs the act, and writes about itself in "Nature."

UC-Berkeley: It has its intellectual property people write up white papers about just what shooting itself in the foot would mean for society, promptly announces a foot-shooting protocol that the community should adopt, receives a huge federal grant to study the environmental and social effects of such a foot-shooting, and then holds campus protests about the inhumanity of it all.

UNC-Chapel Hill: Shoots 76% in the foot from the 3-point line.

Duke: Opens a multimillion-dollar podiatric wing at the medical center, then passes a university by-law making any foot-desecrating act illegal.

Harvey Mudd College: Re-invents the foot.

Carnegie-Mellon: Severs the foot at the ankle, places the foot several miles off-campus, runs gigabit ethernet to it, and successfully 'pings' it.

Antioch College: Introduces new, student-drafted harrassment policy that requires individual and specific permission from the gun, the bullet, the chamber, the hammer, the trigger, and the foot before proceeding with anything that could be perceived as non-consensual shooting.

University of Minnesota: Despite increasingly poor accuracy, insists on shooting itself in the foot only with guns manufactured in Minnesota.

Georgetown: Invites President Clinton to give a speech about his plans for a tax credit for foot-shooters.

Emory: Squirts itself in the foot with Coca-Cola from a water pistol, then emphasizes how the carbonation is really just as good as the gunpowder the Ivy League uses.

I believe the true quote is "Ithaca, NY: 10 square miles surrounded by reality"

but I would have to go outside and look at my car to be sure

That's Berkeley. Stanford students have something to actually contribute to society.

Well, I'm saying that as an Ithaca area local, not a Clarkson student. It's a running joke around the area, you can even find it on bumper stickers in the city.

Believe me, I know the real quote, dpperk. I improvised to try to be at least a little original.

I know... I was just making sure all the denying ithacans saw the right thing...

Well, join the group. The only difference is that I'm a different CU engineering school grad. And, no I don't do caps,etc. when I do a Google search, but believe when something is written to be read by humans, if you consider posters here human, it's considerate to others to use the best grammar we can.

I wonder who--if anyone--is paying for the $3,500 in damages.

[Q] In addition to the arrests being removed from their records, Polhemus said, those involved were not fined and did not need to pay Gourmet Heaven for the property damage caused by the fight. [/Q]

You took the vomit right out of my mouth. Er...

I like the way this would work under natural order: you or your security company simply detains the offender until they find some way to pay you. I'm sure Daddy Longpockets or his insurance company would have no problem paying for the damages to spring the kid. Problem solved.

Alas, we live in an unnatural order that provides extra privileges under law to celebrities and the rich.

Well, at the very least, this gives us plenty of ammunition (for once) for the Yale games. Some sign ideas that spring to mind:

"Yale Hockey: Above the Law"
"Where's my $3500, Alec?"
"Yale Hockey: sponsored by Gormet Heaven and New Haven Superior Court"
"For Breach of Peace, For Criminal Mischief, For Yale!"
"Alec, Brad, & Matt: can you swear that you don't suck?"


and a chant:
"Gor-met Hea-ven!" clap clap clapclapclap

All great ideas. Sorry I'll be somewhere in the Atlantic when you're all at Ingalls.

It took you almost two weeks to come up with that?
