Cornell 4 @ Dartmouth 1 (final)

Really, the only cheering that any Dartmouth fans did was try to piggy-back on our "Let's Go Red" by just shouting "Green!" when we shouted "Red!"  Yale does this, and Brown to an extent, but as Age usually says:  "Get your own cheer!"

A Thompson usher came up to me after the game and told me how much she enjoys watching our fans, and how she doesn't understand why Dartmouth fans never get into games like we do.

Generally, the CU sections were pretty quiet as is the trend this season...most of the loud types were standing at the top or behind our 2-3 sections.

Don't know what happened to the lights before the 2nd...it was almost like someone tried to dim the lights to do their little Mickey Mouse/jock jams spotlight "look at us, we aren't Dartmouth College...We're the CHICAGOOOO BULLS!!!!"  skate-in for the period, but turned them off instead of down.  Lights like that generally take 10 minutes to warm up from "off" and that's  about how long it took.  Either way, we had to be in Thompson an extra 10 minutes.

On the audio feed, Dartmouth's video or Cornell's audio but especially the Dartmouth video since the audio is just the ambient sounds, no announcers -- you could hear occasional clapping, or shrieks of delight when a Cornell player was checked, and a couple oohs when a Green shot went wide. But "Let's Go Red" came through five-by-five. It was really noticeable.

What was not noticeable was the post-game festivities. Just as the first punch was about to be swung, the video cut out. Again.
