I'm SO glad someone else noticed this.   I was cracking up.

Fraternity rush contacts were from 7-9. We couldn't leave our dorms on penalty of not receiving bids.  I gave my ticket away instead.

Have we lost only on Saturdays so far?  Too lazy to check, but maybe this could be meaningful.

Thanks man.

Being that I couldn't go, I gave away my ticket.  But how many people do you think just held onto it and aren't going?

Thank you everyone for your advice, once again.  I will keep you posted as to what happens.  (Absolutely nothing so far, but it is T-day break).

thanks RazzBaronZ for the link.  Anyone have an opinion?

and ctenah--I am pretty sure I know who you are, and (if I am correct) I sit/stand right behind you. correct me if I'm wrong but you were late to last night's game...YOU were part of the disappointly empty section B...[/q]

Yeah, I've never been late before.  I had a meeting with a professor to discuss undergrad research.  Sorry.  :-/  I was actually really pissed as my ride stood me up and there's no bus back from the vet research tower.  I missed the lineup too, as RPI had no names on their back so I couldn't even taunt them.  But then again, we do chant boring...so I probably wouldn't have heard anyway.

Good observation though.  

Thank you for the support, everyone.  I pride myself in being one of the few freshmen who surf eLynah, know the cheers, and make a habit of going to every game.  You might notice I started the "Kill, Red, Kill" cheer the first two or three times at the RPI game...Cornell Hockey is absolutely amazing.

Anyway, yeah.  It sucks.  I think I might write a letter to Gene or something of that sort.  I will tell the truth, just as I told the truth to the usher, but I am most upset about the fact that the team I love and support is being taken from me.  I'm not sure how they take away one's season tickets, though.  But what upsets me even more than ANYTHING, is the fact that a fan was verbally cautioned for substantialy crude, solitary sexually explicit cursing at the opposite goalie, when...well, the same usher wouldn't even tell me what I had said to offend him, and kicked me out of the game.  That's injustice.  If I had been warned, if even that fan had been kicked out as well, then there'd be justice.

But to kick someone out for saying asshole along with 2000 other fans, yet simply yell at a crude fan for saying the goalie's grandfather fucked his dad is....well, horrible.

Thanks to everyone for their support in this matter.  If any members of the athletic department are reading this, as I'm sure they are, then I ask them to be fairer in the future.  Making examples of the most die-hard fans, including others unnamed here, simply for the sake of making an example is further deleterious to the positive crowd support of the team.  



And by the way, the girl who was hit with the puck stands immediately to my left.  EMS never came. The fans cleared and escorted her out of the aisle promptly.  

I don't even remember anymore.  I definitely said goon.  Though, as I've mentioned, I cupped my mouth with my left hand and faced the right and pointed.  The usher was on my left.  So the whole "covering your mouth thing" doesn't seem to work then.  I'm just amazed that this guy would pick me out of the entire crowd to set an example.  

And yes, I am a freshman season ticket holder.::rolleyes::  The Dennis guy did mention something about how I had been warned 6 times, including on the back of my ticket and from the email and such. *shrug*

I guess here's my chance to fight The Man.

What about zombie nation's "kernkraft 4000"?  While most of you will be like, "what the hell is that, mate?" I will place a lot of money on the fact that you know the melody.  Dc++ it, and skip around until you hear the melody.  This would work perfectly.  If only I could put a soundclip on this forum!   This song would also work REALLY well with clapping.  If I somehow get my season tickets back, I'll try and start this up next game.  We could really use the band's help on this too.   Again, I GUARANTEE everyone knows this song.

I was ejected from the game, escorted out by a cop, JA'd, and had my season tickets invalidated.  Why?  I said the word asshole. I'll explain the story amidst my uncontrollable anger and confusion.

The 90 year old usher between A and B was standing in row 1 in the A/B aisle.  A rowdy fan in front of me went into an attack on the opposite sieve that he was "bent over like his father did for his grandfather, and like he does for his father" or something of that nature.  Basically, the Faithful member used some pretty heavy and crude sexual references.  Old usher dude (hereby referred to as Dick) went over and chastised the fan for language.  He walked back over to the aisle.

Six or seven minutes later, I participated, along with about 1500 other fans, in the "See you asshole, you goon" bit.  The usher walked up three rows, then went all the way from the aisle and came up to me and told me to follow him.  After repeatedly asking him "What did I do, what did I say", he continued to refuse me the right to know what my crime was on the basis that it was too offensive.  Finally, in the athletic office, he admitted I said "asshole".   This guy Dennis came in, mentioned something about a zero tolerance policy being enacted yesterday, and how I'll lose my season tickets and I'll be JA'd.   ::twitch::



I'm absolutely hysterically angry.  The usher said he saw me cup my mouth and point at the penalty box and yell that.  Yet if he was on my left, and I cupped my mouth, he couldn't have seen what I mouthed.  What do I do? What the hell do I do when the athletic department makes such an unfair example out of me?

Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts?    ::help::

The girl was standing next to me, and she was hit hard. :-/  Fucking Union guy.  Does anyone know if she's alright?  She had quite a gash.

I didn't hear anyone booing McKee whatsoever.  How do you specifically boo a player anyway without yelling their name first?  I think (and certainly hope) the boos were directed at Union.  Anyone who boos McKee, or any Cornell player for that matter, deserves to have their fingers cut off at the knuckles.

So what has holes and sucks?  Section B.  I am INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY dissapointed with not only the turnout at the game, but the lack of enthusiasm.  Let's Go Red! cheers lasted no more than 4 or 5 consecutive chants during the second and third periods, rows 3 and 4 were half empty, and practically ALL of row 4 left halfway through the third.  We're not wearing red clothing, we're not even wearing a fucking Cornell shirt.  We certainly seem to care less and less as the games go by, especially in a section as crucial as B.  The droning "Kill" cheer during penalty killing times didn't even click in until I had to forcibly yell at the stone-lipped facetimers.  Somehow I needed to explain that kill referred to penalty killing, and we can't be silent at our must vulnerable times.  Even then I only got about 10 cheering at one given point.   Argh!

And we need another "staple" cheer like Let's Go Red.  Even Union Sucks would have worked.  Anything.
