It would really REALLY make me happy to join in an anti-athletics administration chant of some type, but I don't know who has the balls to start it.  I wonder if starting a chant like that would get you kicked out.  In any case, I am not ballsy enough to risk being [yet another] martyr for the lynah faithful.

There's always the end of the last home game.  I suppose they could try to ban you from buying tickets next year.  To borrow from Animal House, "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."

i'm finishing my 5th year up on the hill (4 UGrad, 1 MEng) in May and i'd definitely start that.... think of how many faithful cheers are applicable to (fire) Andy:

"aaaaaannnnnnddddddyyyyyy nnnnooooeeeeelllll.... SUCKS"

"fi-re an-dy clapclapclapclapclap fi-re an-dy"

"hey andy noel, your mom called, she said DONT MAKE ANY NOISE ARE YOU ARE GOING TO BE THROWN OUT OF LYNAH"

"hey andy, James Lynah called and said STOP KILLING MY REPUTATION"

oh we could have a good time....

what could they do if i had no ticket stub, no ID, no cell phone, nothing identifying on my person?  how would they know which set of season tickets to revoke?  in the very least, i'd do it towards the end of our last home game :-)

[nr53]

I'd join in on that. I guess its another perk about being a senior this year...::moon::

[las224]

Count me in too. Yay seniors

But what can they really do beyond that? When they ask for a ticket stub to try to revoke season tickets what can they do if you simply say no? I suppose the Campus Code of Conduct could have some impact on students, but what about an Alum like myself? Not surrendering a ticket stub hardly seems to be an offense that they could actually arrest you for. As long as you were polite and left the building it doesn't seem that they could do much against you.

For that matter, I was standing far, far away from the seat on my ticket. Hypothetically I could probably have walked to another entrance, shown my stub and walked to my assigned seat.  Now the consequences for this are probably more serious - they could go for tresspassing charges.  But that's probably unlikely.

All of the above was my mind wandering during a mediocre game againsta  mediocre opponent. It certainly wasn't worth attempting.

BTW: there were plenty "McCutcheon must go!" chants back in 1995.  Different AD regime though.

If you're a student or faculty they could demand to see your ID card.
http://registrar.sas.cornell.edu/Student/idcardpolicy.html

The ID card is the property of the university, must be carried at all times, and is non-transferable. It may be used for such purposes as the university designates and may be revoked at any time. This card must be presented and/or surrendered upon demand by a university official; failure to do so, or lending this card to anyone, is considered misuse and may subject the holder to disciplinary action, under the Campus Code of Conduct.

Not sure if a Lynah usher is a "university official".  You could try saying you're not a student but they might get suspicious if you keep coming back.

I think the structure arrived somewhere around the 2000-01 season. My freshman year was still pretty free form with the sieves/IAYF. Now you'd get looked at funny for not conforming to 8(7)/4 regardless of the game situation.

unless youre in section D (etc) and cant hear sections A/B and end up doing the entire cheer 2 - 4 beats late ::help::

[adamw]

I can all but guarantee that "RED" was around in 1988-89 - since that was my freshman year at IC - and I went to my first game there that season ... and I clearly remember nearly crapping my pants when the crowd yelled that, since it was completely unexpected.

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.

Adam,

Do you recall when Clarkson fans started yelling "KNIGHTS" during the anthem?  I first recall it at Boston Garden in '91 I believe.

Well, not in my memory. ;-)
