Clarkson at Cornell postgame

Don't worry. You guys will still be in the top 10. I'll be happy if we can manage to hang on at the bottom at all.

[quote evilnaturedrobot][quote mttgrmm]yeah for real...

i'm gonna start "good band, bad band" cheers regardless of who shows up, but tonight there was a clear difference in band quality (sorry Clarkson fans that frequent eLynah)

with colgate i thought they at least had some talent, but tonight i definitely was reminded of how good our band is.

thanks, guys![/quote]

part of the problem, and this goes for colgate as well, is that the they chose to sit in the bottom left corner of section O right in front of the glass. As a consequence they played righ into the glass and they're sound was muffled all night. Now both Colgate and Clarkson had the entirety of section O open to them when the band bought tickets, why did they chose the seats right infront of the glass? It's idoitic.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure they don't "choose" those seats. Either Cornell or the visiting ticket office decide to put the visiting band ticket allotment there. (I presume it use to be for the benefit of the SRO spaces along the rail above O and now it's for the benefit of the luxury box in the corner.

Wow, times have changed if Colgate is considered to have a better band than Clarkson. For my part, I respect the fact that both schools actually bring a band to Lynah.

[quote Omie]It seems there is nothing the fans can do to impress or even live up to the expectations of old timers. The student section was great against Clarkson and even better against Colgate. They are definitely doing there part.[/quote]

Well, you could start by spelling like you go to an Ivy League school. ::rolleyes::

Clarkson currently #7, Cornell #22 in the ratings that matter. (At least the last couple of wins have pulled our RPI up to the level where we're a TUC again.)

What an awsome game!! We dictated play almost the entire time. I can't think of one time when tech had pressure on us and took it beyond one faceoff in our zone. We had a couple special teams breakdowns but it seemed like we were trying to do some new stuff on the PP with some new personel. Hopefully a little time will iron out the wrinkles.

Tonight might have been the breakout game for Greening, his first goal was sptacular. That is what I expected to see out of him from presason scouting reports, he has a huge upside.

I thought that we were putting the puck to the net from any and all anles more often tonight than I've seen from a schafer era team. It was a great sight to see and I hope we can build on it.

[quote ebilmes]Every time I hear an opposing band, I am again reminded of how much better our pep band is. Thanks, guys![/quote]
If true this year, that upsets me... I always thought the Clarkson band was a pretty good match for us in the past couple of years, at least in terms of intensity.

it's hard for your band to sound good when only a third of it is at the game and it is crammed right down by the glass.

Yeah, I wish we wouldn't do that. It's one think to debate whether we'd rather have a better chance to beat CCT without Nick Dodge, but we certainly can afford to have the opposing band at full strength. (Well, except for the electric bass. :-})

He also created a pair of other great chances which barely missed. He, Carefoot and Kennedy just blew Clarkson out of the water. Leggio will see them in his sleep for weeks.

2 two thoughts.. a 3rd of the clarkson band was there?? must be tradition cause it was the same size its been for 10 years.. and yeah its good they finally put the opp band in a place that doesnt effect the rest of us sitting next to them.

and how anyone could say that krantz penalty was not a joke wasnt paying attention.. the play started with the Clark player hooking under the arm inside the jersey and then it got caught in the jersey as they turned, when the puck finally moved away he had little choice but to let go, the stick embedded still.. the cu player left with the stick like a 3rd arm turned to the ref still got no call and finally shook it free at the ref and the goof called the penalty..

That's not true. 4000 seats / 15 sections = 266 seats per section (or so). The visitors' allotment is only 100 seats, so they have less than half of O to work with, and I'm sure their tickets have seat numbers on them.

I thought the game in hand issue was caught up. (Oviously I can't add very late into the evening. Wasn't celebrating the win either!::drunk:

It was "caught up" until the Tuesday Q-H game that was scheduled on an unusual night so that Harvard would be well-rested when losing their Beanpot opener.

Please explain. I suspect there is some new meaning to the word thug that I don't understand.
