I'm definitely going to the game. I'm not sure of the wisdom of bringing the sign if I'm not even going to be close to Donato at any point--I'm in section 13, pretty far away from the Sucks bench.

hmm, maybe this picture is old.

he looks like he's starting to get alittle thin, but it's a very early stage.
Ah, that's too bad that you're not behind their bench. It'd be hilarious.
Of course, if somebody wants to trade my section 13 tickets for front of section 5 tickets, I'd take 'em in a heartbeat, and I'd totally bring the sign. :-D
Haha. That'd be totally worth it. I have an ex at Harvard, let me see if she can still get tix in section 5.
Don't forget Danny boy - this picture was taken back in the days when I had hair, too:

Nice red eye and to be fair, he's balding but not quite bald.
What's wrong with being bald? *sulk*

BALD!!!
Will, cant you just sneak over at some point? Or are the Harvard ushers strict?
Even if the ushers arn't overly strict the harvard fans in the vicinity would porbably point him out to them. Holding up a sign rediculing the home team's coach tends to draw attention to one's self.

[Q]bald![/q]
One of my favorite Lynah Faithful memories (in the Futile-But-Lovably-Spunky category) comes from the 1985 ECAC championship at the Boston Garden. That year, to no one's surprise, Cornell was eliminated in the semis by eventual national champions RPI. During the game, the Faithful serenaded Engineers' coach Mike Adessa by pointing at him and chanting "Coach is fat! Coach is fat! Coach is fat!" -- a riff modeled on the one that had been used for Harvard coach Bill Cleary in the 1970s-80s ("Coach is bald! Coach is bald! Coach is bald!).
After beating Clarkson in the 1985 consolation game, most of us stuck around to watch RPI play Harvard in the championship. As you might expect, the "Coach is fat! Coach is fat! Coach is fat!" chant started up when Adessa began ranting to the refs. After a pause, someone started pointing at the Harvard bench and chanting "Coach is bald! Coach is bald! Coach is bald!" Then, starting quietly but slowly gaining momentum, the Faithful pointed a sea of fingers at Adessa and shouted "FAT!", then pointed a sea of fingers across the rink at Cleary and shouted "BALD!" And so it went: "BALD! ... FAT! ... BALD! ... FAT! ... BALD! ... FAT!" It echoed around the Garden -- no surprise given the somnabulence of the RPI and Harvard fans. The arena had been hijacked. Even Cleary smiled.
Must've been before his smile muscles atrophied.
Beeeej
Our team's sleeping
RPI has started strong so far, strong in goal. Could be trouble next week

I didn't hear the cheer but I'm assuming the "Short" was in reference to the safety sieve?

Bald/Short works great too.
Just thinking the same thing ::laugh::
That was a great moment. Just re-reading that post brightened up my day.
I think we're just aksing to get a 'your coach is fat' chant in return...

That and "Bald! Fat!" are the greatest "Even though we're not playing, it's still all about us" Faithful Moments.
And we wonder why everybody hates us. :-D

"WHICH TEAM IS THE THIRD PLACE TEAM?"
As a proud baldie.... WE ROCK! (truth is, I'm just glad I have a round head, and not some odd bumpy vein covered monstrosity).
I enjoyed doing Lets Go Red type stuff at the final in Buffalo...
At the '81 ECAC tournament the Faithful got the "It just doesn't matter" cheer from Meatballs going during the consolation. It was the first time I'd heard it done and got a lot of laughs.
