Clarification from Nighman

[scannon]

In response to the vague email I got from athletics recently, which someone copied into the NY Times thread, I asked Gene Nighman for clarification of what is allowed and what is not. I got this reply:

"Profanities such as A-hole and F'em up are NOT permitted. Although
not exactly nice, it is okay to say someone sucks and the sieve and bad
goalie chants are also okay.

Gene"

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. I for one am going to take a copy of this to the next game for defence against over eagar ushers.

Given that Cambridge is in Massachusetts, how do you think he'd take to calling them "Massholes"?

I can't speak to whether it'll get you kicked out, but as a proud Masshole, I don't know of a single one of us who isn't damn proud of that term.  You may as well cheer "you're awesome!"

Good to know.

After calling RIT "a bunch of D-III goons" during pregame warmups, a member of the athletics staff (not an usher) pulled me aside and asked me to please be "less vicious" due to the new rules about sportsmanship. I tried to get more specifics out of her, and failed. This helps.

I happen to be one as well, so I know what you mean.  And we certainly don't want to compliment them.  Just looking for something in that grey area that doesn't quite get you evicted.

"I'd like to thank all of the CU students who have given the Athletic Department and myself positive feedback related to the ticket selection process that was implemented this season."  -Gene

Just remember people, keep your constructive criticism to yourself.  If you have a better idea in mind, Gene doesn't wanna hear it.

Too bad this doesn't apply to the band...one person got reprimanded by a senior athletics administrator for wearing a Hahvahd Sucks shirt. We haven't been able to say sucks for a good two years now.

People overuse suck anyway, and the creative center of Lynah is the band. So maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

Because the Cornell Smoking Team were such sticklers for accuracy. ::faint::

From today's Sun:

"Sportsmanship is a lost art in many respects and I'm not ready to give it up," Noel said. "I'm somebody that respects tradition a lot, but I don't respect tradition that is insulting to our visitors."
Noel affirmed that come this Friday night, the administration will continue its policy of removing students caught throwing fish from Lynah.

Noel has witnessed Harvard players being hit in the head with fish and have fish parts slip inside their sweaters on more than one occasion.

Andy sure has an imagination...

"I think our administration has done a good job, because at one point in time it was out of control," Schafer said. "But Cornell students won't be denied and if they want to do it they're going to find some creative way of doing it. As long as they don't cost us a penalty, that's the biggest thing."

Sounds like an "ok" to me ::rock::
