That's Dr. Whelan ;-)

And the post in question was actually written by John Hayes; I was just the one who looked it up.

i got fish in by these methods - in my jeans high on the thigh, in newspaper (got caught one time too this way) and around my waste between my jersey and my t-shirt at the level of my belt. a hat works too.

LOL, you have to love my late night typo there. always amusing when it is a true mistake
have fun, everyone. be sure to remember that the police and staff are just doing their job and please do not throw the snapper later than when hahavahd first comes out.
also,
if you want to go to the game but cannot and are looking for something to do, check out jason mraz at risley that night. he rocks! great musician ::nut::

Can u taste the waste?

We once tried smuggling fish into Lynah inside a tuba.  That, however, was pretty much a disaster, as one fish got stuck pretty far down inside and we couldn't get it out for days.

Oh my. That must have made for an interesting rendition of Swannee River that game.  ::nut::

Just arrived back from Wegmans and the guys at the fish counter wanted me to let everyone know they will have plenty of fish this year.:-)) He said they have ordered a large quantity for this years game seeing as how they beat us in the manner they did last season.

Any ways. . .Harvard(sUcKS) & Brown swallows!!!

Gene was nice enough to send us ticket holders the following letter...just wanted to share it with the non season-ticket holders, so everyone is equally informed!  Did non students receive the same e-mail?

Well, judging from the quotes in the paper, I'm not too worried.  My friends said last year that the cops that kicked them out said "You could get suspended for having fish," and that they "crack down because the fish make us look bad to the league."  It's all a big joke.  There really is no good reason to crack down, and Cop's "cracking down on half makes us happy" doesn't really do it for me.

But Ben and I ended up running into each other at Weggies, and as they said they're stocking up.  So if they're ready, we will be too.

-LGR!

Nope, that e-mail was not sent to me, and I know the Athletic Ticket Office has my e-mail address on file.

I'd arrive 30 minutes before gametime anyway, but if they manage to delay people so significantly that a lot of folks are kept from entering before the game starts, it could get ugly.

From everything we've heard so far, it sounds as though the athletics staff and CUPD will be reasonable. Get caught with fish on the way in, you lose the fish. Get caught throwing it before the game, tsk. Get caught throwing it during the game, you get tossed, and good riddance.

FISH ETIQUETTE

I want to thank all of you who policed the morons that threw things (including my wonderful candy :`(  ) on the ice during the last two games. Friday your cooperation will be needed 100 fold. Please tell everyone around you that we cannot throw after the anthems start. Also please point out any morons who do throw. Maybe if someone is tossed, then we won't have to worry about penalties.We don't need to give the HA+RVA+R_  powerplay any more chances.

 I know you all know this, but some of those other guys seem to think they are more important than the team. Enough of my soapbox.

Well of course Wegman's is stocking up.  They don't care whether it gets confiscated once you pay for it.   ::nut::
