Cornell at Clarkson Post-game

[Al DeFlorio]

[quote KeithK][quote ebilmes][quote Dpperk29]well, you'll all be very pleased to know that the kid flipping you off during intermission has been suspended from the next two home mens games. and the administration says that they are taking a harder stance on behavior[/quote]

At Cornell, he would miss all the remaining home games.[/quote]...which is probably much too severe for the offense. I'd suggest that Clarkson's punishment is more reasonable for a rowdy student who didn't actually hurt anyone.[/quote]
And I'd agree.

Isn't being a jackass punishment enough?  ::nut::

But as previously stated, he is so over the top I have to laugh at him when I watch it.

Yeah, it's hard for the opposing fans to be insulted be something so inane.

Absolutely.  I mostly feel sorry for the guy for believing he's clever.  But it's still inappropriate and this punishment is just about right.

John,

On a number of occasions in the past I was VERY specific about examples of behavior I witnessed and heard.  Of course, many of you rejected it out of hand perhaps because you don't like the messenger.

Fact is that there were plenty of witnesses to these instances, both the Clarkson fans who were often the objects of them plus some of the Lynah faithful near us who apparently thought the profanities and other tasteless comments, etc were hysterically funny.

I don't feel compelled to be as specific as in the above case when you guys are seemingly all aware that this stuff happens consistently, at least when Clarkson visits.

Maybe I'll try to take better notes this year if I get there.  :-}

I'd give a 75% chance he managed to sneak into both those games and not get caught either time.

I *think* you can see Clarkson rink staff watching this episode, which clearly supports daredevil's statements regarding the fear of the ushers to enforce the stated policies.  

However, it's possible those people standing in the back are just other fans.[/quote]

I finally got around to watching that, and it's hilarious. ::laugh:: It's kind of a shame if he got punished for that, since he was basically just being a jackass, and not threatening anybody.  I mean, if CCT punishes visiting fans for flipping the bird, they should apply it to this guy too, but I'd be happy with them tolerating it from everybody.  (If I'd been there, I would have laughed at the guy and mock-applauded him for being so clever.)

not to reopen an old arguement. but after that incident, the rink staff has cracked down on us significantly. It has lead to many fine upstanding citizens (like myself) to be warned, targeted by the ushers, and thrown out. Goalie Heckling nearly disappeered for several weekends...

so I guess I know how you guys feel now.

[Robb]

That, well there's really no better word for it, sucks.  :-(

Sorry to hear that - keep Cheel as loud as possible!

Its a shame when rink staff can't tell the difference between obscene and just not-nice. Seems typical though as a overreaction after possibly being too lax at first. It can be kept clean while still picking on the other team, which is what is should be.

Meanwhile, it seems the Lynah ushers chilled out this year (as usual)? Haven't heard any horror stories in a while.

I think it's a combination of both.  It always seems to happen around the first games back from winter break.
