Cornell at Clarkson Post-game

[daredevilcu]

I should also tack on that toward the end of last semester we had made marked improvements in cutting down on offensive cheers that were reported to Scott Smalling.  One that has been popular for several years now, "Jesus Hates You," we had pretty much gotten it through the student section that if done, it would result in people getting kicked out.  This weekend being the first weekend of hockey since break, students got overexcited and out of hand.  I expect they'll reign it back in as the semester continues.

For the record, the supposed "cheers" that I clearly heard fom your Section O directed at Clarkson's Dustin Traylen more than once a few years ago make the above profanities seem tame.  One lynah jerk even came around to yell it from Section O.[/quote]

Thanks for the clarification, I was worried the townies in Section N were giving you crap.

I don't really understand all this concern about abusive language. I am far more worried about the violent, drunk morons (Colgate) than the harmless, boistrous morons, which is pretty much everywhere else, most notably North Country. Last year we had a boy scout troop swearing at us at Clarkson and sorositutes cussing at us at SLU (with an appropriate T). Perhaps I don't care because being in the band means you get it everywhere (that and dumb people are funny)...

Those boy scouts were pretty annoying. They actually told me my team sucks, which would've gotten them kicked out of Lynah, to get back on topic. They left me alone once I told them Santa wasn't real though.

It's perfectly logical to remind posters here of that when they get on their high horse to rail against offensive behavior at Cheel.  Seems that some of you have forgotten just how vulgar many of the faithful have been although as I said earlier, it has gotten somewhat better in recent years in my experience.[/quote]Your string of "you too!" posts are silly and illogical. They are silly because they are being done solely to make you feel better about behavior that you know to be wrong*. They are illogical because your reason for (repeatedly) making the point that Lynah can be nasty rests on a false presumption.

You presume that eLynah either sincerely thinks that the Lynah Faithful are squeaky clean cheerers or are covering up that they aren't. Clearly this isn't true. You can find a lot of comments on eLynah on whether what the Cornell fans do is appropriate and I don't think anyone defended any of the specific taunts that so offend you.

Also, your point is not relevant. The thread is about the behavior at Cheel by Clarkson fans. It was, by some accounts, rude. Whether Cornell fans are also rude is not germane to a discussion of whether Clarkson fans are rude. If we are rude, and you want to make a point of it, feel free. Bringing it up here in a halfhearted defense of the Knight fans is a bit desperate.

*NB: I don't care at all how nasty the comments get. Ever. I don't make the rules but if I did nothing posted on here would get a shouter kicked out.

There has definitely been a drop off in the word choice on these chants over the last few years.

The two bright spots are that Davenport showed himself to be the clear #1 goalie for the rest of the season, and the Cornell penalty kill was excellent.  You could see the talent and drill of the Knights' powerplay.  Cornell played their best hockey a man down.[/quote]

The fact that Scrivens got pulled is definitely not a bright spot, more so is something to worry since we have two inconsistent goalies and a non-factor one. Everyone here is quick to point out a goalie can have an off night when defending Davenport, so the same logic would apply to Scrivens. Davenport has been pulled already in half a year as much as McKee in three years. Of Scrivens two starts he has a shut-out and getting pulled, there is no clear number one. That said I do agree that Davenport definitely has the upperhand now.

at home ithaca was spelled many ways... L-I-B-E-R-A-L-V-I-L-L-E, R-E-E-F-E-R-V-I-L-L-E, or simply H-E-L-L

The fact that Scrivens got pulled is definitely not a bright spot,

     Davenport is definitely the #1 goalie, but the SLU(t) game wasn't very good for assessing Scrivens' ability.  Speaking as a goalie, it would be nice if everyone could rise up to any challenge, but the D was horrible in front of Scrivens.  The SLU(t) players had way too many wide-open chances right in front of him.  McKee and LeNeveau didn't have to face uncontested passing lanes in the slot very often.  

     Scrivens made some decent saves but obviously had lost his confidence by the time he let that floater go by his glove.  I can guarantee that if he wasn't already feeling a little nervous, he certainly would have been after that.  It is pretty tough to feel confident when you don't play very often and you just gave up two quick goals even when rational thought tells you they weren't your fault.

     We will just have to wait and see him play again when the team plays half-decently to see if he can hang in there more consistently.

I didn't say that these expressions are gone.  I just said they are less prominent than they used to be.

You know you've turned into a troll when you stop bothering with either capitalization or punctuation.
