We want more.....

Seriously ... the '91 Garden is an awful memory (the pale look on Brian McCutcheon's face afterwards - oy!), but I didn't stick around after the Cornell-St. Lawrence game.  I have no idea when the "Knight" thing started.  My first game AT Clarkson was 1991-92 season, and I don't specifically remember whether it was happening then.

I suggest "The AD Sucks.  The AD Sucks."  That way, the cheer can carry on to his successor, who inevitably will be met with the same degree of hostility that every Cornell AD in memory has "provoked." ::rolleyes::

I haven't met Andy so I don't know whether he struts around Lynah like Mad King Ludwig, but I do know that we said the same things about Charlie Moore and even Laing Kennedy, who was the best friend the hockey program ever had.[/quote]

I happened across the following recently:

[Q]Editorials in both the Ithaca Journal and the Cornell Daily Sun asked the crowd to reexamine its vocabulary. This fall Athletic Director Laing E. Kennedy '63 presented the Student Assembly with a plan to eject hockey fans who abuse referees and opposing players with offensive language. The Assembly balked. "The Campus Code of Conduct makes it a right to lawfully protest," said Assembly President Joshua A. Lowenthal '92. Glen F. Edelson '92 called it a freedom-of-speech issue and wondered who would decide which remarks were offensive. Kennedy has said that whole sections of Lynah might be cleared and Cornell, as a last resort, would forfeit games if opposing teams and referees are subjected to clouds of abuse. "Be loud. Be enthusiastic. Be obnoxious even," Kennedy told the Sun, "but not obscene."

--Cornell Alumni Magazine, December 1989[/Q]

Whether Andy is actually cracking down on the loud, enthusiastic, and obnoxious portions is a question I can't answer.  I do know I want Andy out for different reasons altogether.  But at least the youngsters should know that this "angst" about a language crackdown isn't anything new.

Frankly, King Ludwig would be preferable.  He built his castles with his own personal income, was very popular amongst his subjects, and generally avoided conflict.

It was happening then and at some point earlier.

During the fall of '89, the Cornell Lunatic produced a joke Cornell hockey program that included a rather official-looking "Cheering Policy."  It was long, complex, in outline format, and absolutely hysterical, but the only line I can remember clearly was "IV. All Cheers Must Contain Praise for Laing Kennedy."

The back cover was an advertisement - a photo of Paula Abdul, with the large caption, "Eat Me at Manos."  :-D

I'll bet I could find a copy of that program if I tried hard enough...

(EDIT: A quick search tells me that I apparently post about this spoof on an almost exactly annual schedule.  Hopefully this time I'll find a copy of the program to scan and add to ELynah's image archives, so that I can shut up about the damn thing already.)

Gotta be in the all-time bottom five.  In terms of ohmygodwhatjust happened?!, it ranks with the '02 overtime loss to Harvard.
Cold.  So cold.  ::scared::

Is that the one with the foldout "Harvard, we would greatly appreciate if you would lose" or something like that?

Nope, that was the Lunatic fake program from 1995 H vs. C (attached).  I've never seen the one Beeeej referenced, but the one I have is one of the funniest hockey-related humor items I've ever seen.

This is the one with Peanutbutter Wilson, right?

Yes.  Actually, every member of the Cornell roster was named Wilson, and Peanutbutter was the goalie.  I think Shaft Wilson was my favorite.

Sounds like a late '70s Lunatic program.  The hometown for every player was some fake place in Quebec, and the last player on the roster was from "Iseveryonefrom, Quebec."  

It probably would have been a funny program, except the senior editor of the lunatic edited it while under the influence just before it went to the printer, and put some extremely crude obscene jokes and offensive comments into it.
