Princeton 2 Cornell 1 postgame

[jtwcornell91]

FWIW, we should extend a similar courtesy to the other team's Alma Mater.  Not that opposing fans are all that courteous during ours...  (Although I have to say, the Clarkson thing with the lighters still cracks me up.)

Along the lines of this thread, my own personal beliefs are reflected below on things you should not do at a hockey game. It burns me to say that Cornell fans are much better at obeying these 'rules' of mine than Clarkson fans. somehow cornell fans have the ability to be the classiest and (sometimes) the rudest fans in the league.

3 things not to do at a college hockey game.
1. Cheer, taunt, or play over the other school's alma mater
2. The Black hole chant in the first period, (or most cases, in the second period) of a game that is tied.
3. Taunt, Cheer, Heckle, yell, anything when an opposing player is down on the ice.

I refuse to let you, or anyone else, make me feel remorse for telling an opposing player he can't skate when he loses an edge and falls down on the ice. But I will agree that an injury shouldn't draw a cheer.

Yeah, I don't think the protypical "tripping over the blue line" is the scenario Dpperk29 meant when he said "is down on the ice."  I agree with your distinction 100%.  I was quite relieved when "Scrape him off the ice!" died out at Lynah years ago.

I meant for injuries. I enjoy more than anyone laughing at people who temporarily forget how to skate

I just remember in 04-05 (I think) during the second michigan state game hearing one of the student sections do the Blackhole chant with the game tied in the second period 1-1. we all know how that ended.

I think 3 goals is the minimum for starting the Black Hole cheer.  And even then it's not a great cheer if your own goalie has let in an equal number or, heaven forbid, more.

Can we institute penalties to go with all of these cheering rules? I always saw Black Hole as a great version of "____ Sucks," and it could be said at any time. It sounds silly if the home goalie is really stinking up the ice but who cares?

I gotta throw one in to this...

Thou shalt not chant "Scoreboard" at any point during the game.

[Jim Hyla]

Man, you guys are sounding kind of snobbish, aren't you? You can't do the black hole cheer unless he's given up so many goals, and only if it's not the first period? Can never say scoreboard?

Look, I think we should be respectful, and certainly that includes during their alma mater, senior night, etc. . However, cheers? Do them when you want to. It's only you who looks foolish if you start clanging keys and yelling go start the bus, with a one goal lead. I always thought the point of the black hole cheer was that he sucks, good save or not, he sucks. I mean some of you say sucks every time Harvard is mentioned. I personally think that's crazy, but you're entitled to do it if you want to.

So how about letting people cheer when and how they want to. Otherwise aren't we becoming a branch of the administration's cheer police?

Sorry. It should be whatever the original codec was. I was just able to copy a piece out in QuickTime Player and save it. It's obviously something Flip4Mac handles because when I try to re-encode it, it slaps a watermark all over the image.

However, thou shalt never, ever jingle your keys in a one-goal game.  Don't make me come down there.
