Re: Ticket line preference poll/any updates with administration? - 20 years ago
I have no updates, but I just want to state my agreement with your statement that the current system is the best so long as it is readily enforced. Even if the early, unofficial line is left to become the 'official' line, I don't think I'd have such a problem with it so long as the cutting was prevented, something which can only be done by having more manpower (Athletics staff, rent-a-cops, whatby Will - Hockey

Re: Off the Mark - 20 years ago
Yup, I linked to it in another thread. This was a really good article dripping with sarcasm. Unfortunately, it's possible that much of the article is actually reflective of some people's experiences and attitudes towards the hockey line. But enough about facetimers...by Will - Hockey
Re: Hobey 2004 - 20 years ago
Indeed. In reality, it's really the internet buzz that's all saying Harvard is the favorite. I think people say that because Harvard was already the #2 team last year and now has the least question marks--of the top scorers on the team, only two were seniors last year; in fact, the next senior is at #14. And, for as much as we rag on him at the games, Grumet-Morris is actualy a good goalie. Cby Will - Hockey

Luckily, no Pettit or Jessiman on the list at all. Though, now that I look at the list again, I realize that there are eight forwards, one defenseman, and one goalie on this list. Is it just me or does that seem a little unbalanced?by Will - Hockey

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Let me preface this by saying that you have no idea who was in our group at all. Our group was represented by 5 people over night, but there were 10 people in the group overall. The other five were not mentioned because we didn't spend most of the time with them. These were the people with whom we switched at around 3:00. Fantastic.

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Well said Jeff. Jon, I have a question for you, related to the alleged cutting. Did each of the five people in your group that was mentioned (you, your friend Will, his brother Charles, Mike, and Cathy) receive a line number, and do each of you intend on making it to every game that you can this season?
