I am working for America Coming Together in Harrisburg. Glad to be on the front lines. God, I hope we win.by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: So, now that the line is over... - 19 years ago
Mike, I know you will always be a member of the Faithful. Although, a Cornell alumn doing grad school Harvard is going to have to endure teasing from the rest of us. Good for you for getting season tickets at Lynah East. Believe me, a top concern for where I go after Nov. 2 is that I need to be able to get to college hockey games.

Re: Jessiman Staying at Dartmouth - 19 years ago
I tend to agree. He is almost as bad as Nickerson: he can skate better, but he really can't score.by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: Games @ Michigan State - 19 years ago
A few friends and I are tentatively planning on going. Because of the odd schedule of games, we were looking for Saturday entertainment. We were contemplating going to see some non-Big Red hockey by watching Notre Dame play W. Michigan in Kalamazoo Saturday night, and showing up in Cornell jerseys. Anyone else have any good ideas for entertainment?by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: (OT) Cornell footabll player killed in car accident - 19 years ago
Yes, people have driven without seatbelts for decades. So what? If fewer people wear seatbelts, the number of accidents will stay the same, and the percentage of them resulting in injuries and deaths will go up. Parents need to set examples for their kids, yes. If they are setting bad examples, I am all for changing their behavior. Call me a liberal. Age, do you think that children shouldby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: (OT) Cornell footabll player killed in car accident - 19 years ago
Well, logically, we shouldn't ban the sale to cigarettes to minors either, because if they want to do stupid things, its their right to. People are going to do stupid things that defy all reasonable logic, and the number of people in hurt or killed in auto accidents is going to climb like hell if we don't do everything in our power to make them use seat belts. Parents who don't wear seatbelby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
Re: (OT) Cornell footabll player killed in car accident - 19 years ago
The starting point to improved safety is not to tax SUVs, that will never get passed. Instead it is to do more seatbelt checks with higher fines, give out more speeding, road rage and aggressive driving tickets, and lastly to add a large federal gas tax to keep gas prices high. There is nothing more dangerous on the road then a person speeding in a top heavy vehicle with a sense of invincibilitby Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: Policing profanity - 20 years ago
It is possible to be intense AND vulgar. One should not rule out an intense cheer just because it is vulgar. Though no cheer is intense solely based on its vulgarity, I will not rule one out that makes the timbers tremble or gets into an opposing goaltender's head just because it offends some.by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

congrads to harvard (sucks) - 20 years ago
I hate to say it, but im glad Harvard (sucks) won. Clarkson is a bunch of march-preformance-only no-talent-ass-clowns with redneck fans. I'm glad their season is over.by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey

Re: Giant slayers at it again - Clarkson goes to title game - 20 years ago
Don't get me wrong, I do not love c'gate either. Id rather see Dartmouth or Harvard win the conference title. Colgate don't deserve the Whitelaw, and neither does Clarkson. LETS GO DARTMOUTH!!!by Ben Rocky '04 - Hockey
