Re: Facetimer? - 20 years ago
well, i said "general derogatory term all year." while it might have always been derogatory in the hockey context, i assumed it was done in the sense of the definition given on elynah. when i said "General" and applied it to this year, i meant that this year some on this board have been throwing it around more liberally-anyone who might have been a remote cause to them not gby Jacob 03 - Hockey

Re: Facetimer? - 20 years ago
from the "Cheers" section of elynah.... facetime \Face Time\, v. 1. the act of going to a large crowded place for the sole purpose of being seen. facetimer n. 1. one who engages in facetime. 2. one who views hockey games merely as something to do before going to Rulloff's and Dino's. ...of course, it has been progressing to a more general derogatory term all year, culminatingby Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: Straight from deep throat - 20 years ago
I'm not sure I would view modern linguistics scholars as "freaks" (at least no more so than any other group of scholars), and they often debate and discuss gender usage and its social implications. As for English not having a third person singular neuter pronoun, there have been respected advocates of alternatives ("one" is the example that comes to mind, due to its relationby Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: Getting there early, or on time - 20 years ago
To pretend like this is a new problem this year is rather ludicrous. Anybody from a vantage point of G/H and on (er...later in the alphabet) will be able to give you an accurate analysis of how filled to capacity each student section is at puckdrop. Last year from section H, it was quite obvious that while A and B seemed to be (usually) at least 90/95% filled at the start of games, D/E/F were uby Jacob 03 - Hockey

backhanded? maybe. i just assumed some "writer" really wanted to drop a reference to the event (Scrabble finals were broadcast on ESPN a week ago).by Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: Speaking of goalies - 20 years ago
my memory may be lapsing, but didn't the empty net go something like seven minutes @princeton/yale in the 1999-2000 season without getting scored upon? in a very miserable weekend it might have been the mvp.by Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: "Voices of the Faithful"- New Pep Band CD - 20 years ago
While you may be used to a product supplier that reacts to consumers bitching (justified as it may be in some cases) on third-party message boards, I'm pretty sure it's not going to amount to much on this one. That may be a better motivation behind chilling out than the bettered feelings of some frequenters of this message board.by Jacob 03 - Hockey

USCHO ECAC Weekly Column - 20 years ago
the last section is about the cornell@harvard "ticketgate." new columnist juan martinez also invites readers to respond (one published response a week). i'd be a bit surprised (disappointed?) if next week's isn't by a member of the faithful commenting on the ticket issue.by Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: ticket line forum Oct. 8 - 20 years ago
DeltaOne81 '03- You seem to have fashioned one of the more reasonable arguments that will probably be put forth at said forum, and I wish you the best of luck with it. Without trying to start a debate as to how to measure the passion of a fan that might deem him or her worthy of tickets, I would suggest rethinking part of one line in your letter. In section 2(c) you mention how the President sby Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: Embarrassing NHL.com College Preview - 20 years ago
In addition to the amount of ink INCH gave cornell, they've seemed to up their amount of content quite a bit in their sophomore year (whether it's accurate or not is still debatable i guess). i was also surprised by the fact that they appear to have taken over uscho's old place on espn's "other" college sports link.by Jacob 03 - Hockey
