UNH Fans

[jbeaber1998]

I am not a ig fan of reading the USCHO message board, most of what is writtin is senseless bickering, on all sides.  I do find one thing amusing, though.  There is a thread of the ECAC teams showing support for Cornell (okay, some of which is in hopes that if we win, Lenny goes pro, but that is besides the point).  Then there is a thread about how HE fans should not support UNH.  The primary reason?  their fans......

listen, tough guy, let's move beyond any personal attacks and address the issues. I'm concerned b/c cornell obviously struggled vs. BC and UNH is a lot tougher opponent than BC. attacking the school, its students, and surrounding environment is plain dumb & irrelevant. if you've ever ventured to an away UNH vs. Cornell game you'd see that it's a better place than upstate. same for Hanover, NH.

I have started going over to USCHO more over the last few days. I saw a lot of bickering between Al and RichS.  It felt just like home.  :-P

As a resident of Boston's north suburbs, and a frequent visitor to the Granite State (about once every other week), I have some experience with the typical UNH fan. Just a few notes:

- The UNH fan base is not confined to New Hampshire, as many Mass residents apply there due to its well defined reputation as a party school. I think this explains the strong showing of UNH fans last year in Worcester.
However, this does not necessarily mean that there won't be a significant respresentation of NASCAR enthusiasts in Buffalo.

- New Hampshire people are into hockey big time. Not only NHL and Collegiate level, but high school down to pee-wee. So expect them to be well-educated in the nuances of puck.

- Hockey may be the only show in town, but that is not limited to the UNH team. Most New Hampshire people are too busy following Bruins and the Manchester minor league team, UNH is a more recent development among the townies.

Don't be afraid of them, they are tough and often drunk. If you have trouble communicating in normal English, just talk hockey and maybe they won't bother you.

At the Saturday game in Providence, the BU student section chanted at the UNH fans, "You have one cheer" clap clap clap-clap-clap, and it's entirely true.  They may be knowledgeable but they're hardly the rabid, enthusiastic, vicious fans that we are.  :-D

And that cheer was their version of the cowbell.  with the "go, fight, win" intermixed with the dude.

Oh, you mean it wasn't the slow, droning, "U-N-H... U-N-H..." chant?  At least they spell it right when they chant it... ::nut::

Uh oh, we may motivate them to come up with a second cheer.  Be careful guys...  ::scared::

Yup. Slow, drowning, "U-H-N... U-H-N...."
