Post Game!

[quote WillR]The crowd did love it so i guess it worked out OK for us.  It was pretty funny.  While I realize that etiquette and Colgate do not usually go together in the same sentence, unless preceded by the word poor, didn't Colgate violate band etiquette of not playing over one another?  Do tubas not count as a band or is it just a lack of class?

I believe that the argument is that Swannee River is not really a song, but instead a chant or taunt, and thus the rule about not playing over each other doesn't apply.

Not sure how I feel about that.  Though it has to be said that Swannee is one of the more obnoxious things done to the apposing team at lynah, and thus I could see why colgate would take particular offence.  I've always been amazed that we get away with it at all on the road.

The best part about that whole Swanee pissing match was when the RPI band played over the Colgate Band at Placid after the Colgate band played over Swanee.  As I noted at the time

[Q]I think the fact that a neutral band illustrated what it's like to have one of your cheers played over shows that it's not something wrong with Swanee, the Colgate band are just assholes.[/Q]

Why is that? It's not like they play it right above/behind the home team's bench.

Hmm, I've only been to two away games (both at Ingalls) and I seem to recall the tubas being pretty close to the home team.  At the same time, my memory is pretty foggy here and I could be wrong.

In my experience with away games (a bit more than two), the tubas never leave wherever they put our band in their rink for Swannee.

I hope he was made happy enough to brave the smell of that crush of players in so confined a space...scary.

you are most likely correct, my memory must be playing tricks on me.

your probably right, my memory's just playing tricks on me.

[quote krimsman]The kill for that final 4:35 was amazing and will certainly carry the momentum forward.  And, the fans during the kill were equally as impressive.   However, I do have to say that I was disappointed in the Lynah Faithful because of the lack of a curtain call for Coach Schaefer after the game.  Was it ignorance? Apathy?  Maybe I missed something, but I was SHOCKED that the fans didn't demand that he come back out and acknowledge all that he's done for the program.[/quote]

There was a letter in the Sun today criticizing the students for not thanking Schafer and for not being creative. The writer also misspelled coach's name, except he used two "f"s. I can't seem to find the link on the Sun's site.

As long as I am on the topic of poor etiquette and Colgate, what is the deal with Colgate's WWF announcer at Starr not announcing Cornell's goals?  It seemed a bit childish and I think hw did the same thing last year.  I was wondering if only we get this treatment or if they roll out the red carpet like that for everyone.

-WillR[/quote]

Along those lines, is it me or does the Clarkson announcer call us Colgate for our penalties and goals?  I swear I have heard him say "Colgate penalty on..."  and "Colgate goal by....."  without hearing "Cornell..."  I thought I just heard wrong or he screwed up a few times last year, but then this year I heard it again.

If a goal is announced in Starr Rink, and Cornell is not playing, is anyone there to hear it?


Why is Justin Milo, in his post game interview, the only one to give credit to Dan Glover for Milo's goal?  He made a strong move in a moment of opportunity and put a good shot on net, one that provided a rebound opportunity.  It was quick and it was not flashy, but Glover made a good play to set up that goal.  I choose not to comment on the rest of Glover's play.

Glover didn't actually put a shot on net.  If you watch a replay he was trying to (and did) get it to Milo.  Milo shot, then put in his own rebound.

He announced the first one, but barely above a whisper.  He definitely omitted the second one though, as several of us noticed, and responded with a "PA Guy sucks" chant.  I was totally enamored of the biographies he tacked onto each Colgate goal though, i.e. "The second Colgate goal was scored by ________, and it was his 8th goal this season, 14th in his career, 4th backhand wrist-shot he's ever taken from the slot, etc etc." I was half expecting him to add "and he enjoys long walks on the beach, world peace, and ladies...he's single!"

The idiot Colgate kids (oxymoron?) in our section tried to start an argument about why we would ever care about the PA announcer in a hockey game...not that they were all that interested in the game anyway...quite busy text-messaging on their phones.  Although I should add that Mugford was also texting on his phone during the game, very noticeably as he and the other scratches were seated a few rows behind us.

Don't you mean "redundant and repetitive?"

I'm sure he was sending score updates...
