So, in response to Harvard screwing us over for tickets, a few of us in Boston have decided to give them exactly what they are asking for, a large group of extremely pissed off Cornell fans at four games. So far I have 12 people definitely in and am trying to collect more so we have a nice little section. If you want to join in on the complete four game package, please drop me a note, john.beaber@tufts.edu. I'll be ordering the tickets soon.

Don't give them the satisfaction - and your money. Find a Harvard alum to buy you tickets after their Princeton game.
I hardly think they would be satisfied to see Lynah East 4 times a year.
I don't recall the ticket package but if you want a real impact, have Lynah East going strong on their Senior Night. As it has been mentioned in other places, Senior Night can be a big recruiting tool. What better way to sour a player who is undecided by showing them that they get abused in their own Barn.

Oooh...I like this idea. When is their senior night?
Probably Feb 28 against Vermont.
I wish I was in Boston to help you guys out with this... but more power to ya. Give 'em exactly what they're asking for!
True. But when Princeton and RPI get blanked, it may be hard to keep the noise level up. I like the Senior Night idea more.
Why would Princeton getting blanked make it hard to root against Harvard. It's not like they would be beating our team. A good Cornellian anti-Crimson fan shouldn't be daunted or depressed by a few Harvard goals or missed opportunities by the visitors.
Well, I refuse to buy the package, and the 4 tickets that I will be able to buy are already spoken for, but if anyone buys the package and needs to get rid of the other tickets, I'll be more than happy to take them.
I hope this is the start of a whole new tradition ::rock::
Of course it is easy to root against Harvard. I'm just saying that if the idea here is to be seen and heard there will likely be few "traditional noise making opportunities" if Princeton gets shut out say, 6-0. "Sieve" isn't so effective if Princeton doesn't score. That's not to say these guys won't be creative.
There's always the option of doing what a bunch of us did in the NC$$ finals last year - root for Cornell. No matter how bad it gets for the Tigers, a cheer of Lets Go Red is always appropriate...
True. I was thinking the same thing earlier. This would be especially good if they had any recruits present that Cornell was also interested in.
I think ya gotta do both. Pour it on against the Crimson, but also interject random Big Red cheers.
Oh, and make sure to remind them that your section is but a mere taste of what they're in for on January 9th.
Also, you might e-mail USCHO with your idea here. They'll probably have little to write about in their ECAC column this early in the season and might give you some press for this.
Hey John, how much is the ticket package? I was thinking of buying it just to have the ticket for the Cornell game so I didn't have to worry about it, but now I guess I can find somebody worthy of donating the others to, too. :-)
I am going to place the order later this week. Please drop me a note ASAP if you are interested.

Well, I... ugh... ordered my four pack this morning. So, who else is going to meet me at the other three games to cheer on Cornell and the visiting team? :-)

Well, I got my tickets today. I don't know what, other than Cornell, I'll be going to, but once I know I'll post on ticket exchange.
Me and a friend of mine had been debating getting Harvard season tickets for basically all of the reasons listed above, but we decided against it. I did get the 4-pack (of course, days later, I realized how many Harvard contacts I actually had to get tickets after the Princeton game), but it's not all that bad. I sold the RPI tickets to my roommate, but I'm going to the Princeton game and my girlfriend went to UMass (I'm hoping she doesn't dump me once she sees me, um, "in action" at the game ::rolleyes:: ).
I forget where I'm sitting, but I'll be wearing my Cornell jersey and joining in the havoc, so I should be easy to spot.
By the way, Harvard senior night is a GREAT idea - looks like I have to go to another game at Harvard. Maybe I should have just bought those season tickets...
Hey all-
Last chance to join in. I have 11 people who will be forming a nasty little section. Drop me a note ASAP if you are interested, I am buying tickets on Halloween.
