Cornell-Clarkson Postgame Thread

Kudos to you for supporting the Cornell band with money, and I mean that sincerely. It can be awful tough for bands to convince people to give 'em money, and I know that from experience. Every little bit helps when road trips cost over 4000 bucks just for the bus.

[quote sah67]When was the last time we had a player who, at a mighty 5'6" and 167 lbs, led the team in PIMs more than halfway through the season? ::screwy::[/quote]

I'm guessing that Kevin Pettit probably shares this honor.

And that name brings a smile to my face. The way the team used to check their opponents into oblivion was a joy to behold. Today I would probably cringe. They were cruel - in a good way - if that's possible.

And if he doesn't, it's not for lack of trying.::nut::

Jim,

I've experienced the antics, profane and otherwise tasteless, at Lynah several times in the past 10-12 years.

As offensive as the crowd at Cheel may be, and I've been there several times when school is in session over the same time period, I believe it's fair to say that you have little or nothing to complain in comparing the two.

I'll be in the NC this weekend for the home and home vs SLU and will pay attention to the fan behavior at both. I'm looking forward to a loud and rowdy (but not profane or tasteless) behavior at Cheel as I have great memories of how the place rocked in the early 70s during my years. Cheel has approached that level too infrequently since it opened in my opinion.

As for complaints about the bands behavior, I've witnessed the home band at Lynah break the rules often but I don't see it as a major issue. If you do re: the home band at Cheel, then by all means, contact the league office.

And feel free to state your opinion on the Roundtable. The folks there are not nearly as thin-skinned as many of you are here.

No you haven't. Good try though.

In fact, I have beginning in '97. That included those directed at Section O spectators as well as the Clarkson band.

I'm not really sure what you mean. Care to clarify? Cite examples?

Don't waste your time. Rich S will never answer your questions. If you show any frustration he'll go into his "you can dish it out but you can't take it" routine. Very predictable.

Nuh-uhh. You never answer questions. You're the one who goes into a "you can dish it out" routine. You're the one who is very predictable.

Rich,

When did they let you out? I was hoping you wouldn't stay away for the entire season.::rolleyes::

Well Clarkson is 4-1-1 in their last six after starting 3-13-4, coinciding nicely with a 1-2-1 speed bump for Cornell. But I might be considered to too thin skinned if I mention that as a reason for him to try and stir the pot.

Though I would like some clarification on what rules the band broke too. There were plenty of cheers directed at the Clarkson band, I don't know what rules were broken however.

Let me guess: on an occasion or two, the band didn't stop exactly at the instant the puck hit the ice on a faceoff. You rebels!
