[quote ebilmes]Would 14 be a standing section? As in, we could squeeze in and stand there so as to avoid sitting with the Sucks superfans?[/quote]

Well, to warn you, no section there is really a "standing section" as you say. The ushers will tell you to sit, because it's their job. Respect your hosts, and don't be dicks about it. If you want to stand, nearly every section has a railing in the back with a concrete slab that you can usually stand on. Hopefully, the team will give us lots of opportunities to stand up.

That said, 14-20 is usually all Cornell, with the CU band is usually in 15 (in the past, 16). In 14, you'll have a good shot at exchanging taunts with Evan Finchester Snood IV, and the rest of the Harvard student section, like that weird painted concave-chested fellow with the hockey helmet, and the 5 'roid-raged football players looking to start fisticuffs.

I think you just mentioned their entire fan base in that last sentence.

Lynah East + more. Also in section 9.

Did you just use the word "fisticuffs"?

Do you suppose they want to boil our potatoes?

"To the next fighter against whom I spar, let me just say this: I'll put corn in his muffin! I'll crimson his face! I'll butter his bean and serve it to him cold I will! Then I'll deliver a blow to the mouth area, the blood from which will issue most copiously!"

I think that's what I overheard them saying.

Instead of fisticuffs, wouldn't they rather race their daddy's yacht against my daddy's yacht at the cape this summer? Liz, could you clairify the appropriate prep way to settle a dispute?

*hides from Liz's attacking fisticuffs*

Oh, and HARVARD SUCKS.

Well, the roid-raged football players may not really be preppy. If veering towards fisticuffs with Mr. Snood, though, I'd go with having a drink together, realizing you have mutual friends (e.g. your cousin went to school with his business partner), and deciding that what's said at a sporting event is less important than the networking you've just done.

The other option is to settle it on a field of competition. Rugby (if you really want to hit someone) might do admirably; any racket sport would also work.

[/prep]

Harvard sucks.

[quote jtwcornell91]And I guess "borrowing" the plane to go to Cambridge for a few hours is right out. ::whistle::[/quote]

Maybe I could steal the government credit card while I'm at it...we'd need to stop at least twice to refuel. In each direction. Hmmm...this plan sounds better and better the closer to gametime it gets.::innocent::

Or with him. Boy, we'd better face Hahvahd in the playoffs so I can regain bragging rights with my cousin.

Sure, but then the cost of the gas jumps from $5/gallon to about $100/gallon...

I wish that were possible with more people. No lie, a short Harvard football player threatened fisticuffs with me at the Hong Kong Saturday night, as I was shuffling through the crowd towards the bathrooms. (His jacket and his friends identified him as a football player, btw). I present this paraphrased playlet:

H (seeing my CU hockey sweatshirt and hat): Yeah, 3-1 ass-kicking! 3-1!

Me (thinking a good-natured exchange was possible): Yep. But hey, have fun playing next week while we're getting some nice rest!

H: Yeah, why don't I just drop you right here and right now??

Me (lamenting the death of good-naturedness): *sigh* Yeah, with that cop 5 feet away, that would be a really smart thing for you to do. Am I really worth the fun you'll get out of that? (moves along as he and his friends kept talking tough)

Also, while leaving the bar, a Harvard hockey player was coming in (at 1:30 am) with his entourage. All I wanted to do was show a little sportsmanship and tell him that they played a good game. I tried several times to say "Good game," but I had 4-5 entourage members screaming shit at me. Thanks to Age for grabbing me by the collar to yank me out the door. I guess today when you wear the "other team's" clothing, you're just assumed to be a punk-ass prick.
