Anyone wanna bet that Cornell doesn't get a penalty if fish are thrown when the players come out?

i like how they make it sound as though we'll have to play a man down for the entire game ... ::twak::

Also love the amateur clip art over a picture from a Cornell-Ohio State game.

throwing of any object onto the ice or any other disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and is subject to ejection from the rink and the revocation of season tickets

Hear that?  No newspapers, either.  ::rolleyes::

I believe the same graphic was used last year.

I wonder if athletics would rather have an empty student section or a students with fish?

no newspapers?!?

And right after saying no objects can be thrown on the ice they remind people to throw stuffed animals for the Cops and Kids thing....::panic::

[RazzBaronZ]

Someone should throw a stuffed animal onto the ice mid-game to prove a point and get a team penalized for it.  Of course, that person should be wearing a SUCKS shirt...

[evilnaturedrobot]

to be fair, it's stipulated that you should hand your toy to an usher, not throw it on the ice.

personally, I think the solution to this problem is to locate andy and gene and simply pelt them with fish.  After all, they're not on the ice, so cornell would not receive the penalty that they're soooo concerned about::rolleyes::.

[calgARI '07]

These people seriously have a lot of nerve.  Any actual solutions out there?  This is seriously ridiculous.

[Gene]"If you were a performer standing in front of 4200 people and a live
national TV audience and then had hundreds of raw fish thrown at you how
would you feel? I think most people would wonder why whoever was in
charge of the event would allow such a travesty to happen."

I am awaiting his response to my reply that everyone I know wonders where they get the nerve to try to stop this "Travesty", especially when Sucks knows it's coming.

and in fact appreciates the atmosphere that it's part of, as they've said in several articles.

[Beeeej]

Who needs a "solution"?  This isn't significantly different than anything they've said before the Sucks game in the past several years.  You know how Schafer and Donato feel about it, you know it's going to happen anyway, so be a part of it if you feel strongly enough about it.  Just don't be stupid about it.  You already know it's a risk to throw the fish, so be as smart about it as you can, make your choices, and deal with the consequences.

Well said
