Especially not in the place named for the Ojibwe word for a lake that traverses another body of water wikipedia.  Sigh.

Good season guys. Thank you seniors.

Actually the bunch of a-holes sitting near us were from Michigan State.

Jim,

I am sorry about your bitterness toward this past weekend's event in Grand Rapids.  I cannot say that I was with the group that you are referring to however I do know exactly the ones you were talking about. I am sure yourself being a super fan, you know that college sports are intense, and there are some great rivalries that start up with fans having raw emotions for their team. However, to call the group of fans that you are referring to as tasteless or classless is asinine (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asinine). If we want to use these words towards someone, I think yourself is the only one that could take credit for this. After this weekend I have the upmost respect for your school, hockey program, and even fans. With that said, I was somewhat shocked when hearing you turn around and call those group of "kids" a**holes. I understand these "kids" were being loud and maybe annoying but they at least were mature enough to point out to you that there were kids in the stand and not to use profane language.  You then went on to yell towards the referee saying the "F" word; someone wearing a school jersey and being somewhat of a mascot for the school, this is completely inappropriate. I was not only embarrassed for those sitting around you; I was quite disturbed that you would yell this in front of children. Yes, I understand you are a highly intense fan that loves your team but keeping some emotion that would negatively affect the rest of the crowd is something you need to keep in.  As for making false accusations on those who were "drunk", it is not fair for you to state things on this board that people may believe. I actually introduced myself and my two sons to these people during the end of the second game because we were rooting for the same school, they were rather nice people. They were obviously not drunk but excited due to the lowest seed in the region was taking it two a top team in the nation.  Even further, there were absolutely no children in where they were sitting other than my own kids for about 10 minutes of a two day event. Lastly, I found it somewhat humorous when stating, "I was concerned about what they might do after the game." I don't know what kind of fans they have in New York but I highly doubt you had to be worried about these fans. Possibly if you may of tripped over one of them busy celebrating the Beaver win or maybe an injury from one of your own after some exciting double high fives after your first goal, aside from this they have enough class to not "meet people outside."

As for detective Johnny Hopkins on here, I am sorry to inform you this specific crowd was not from Michigan State, illogical name dropping is not the best way to go about this. Maybe you should take note from number 14 in red.

Aside from all of this, it was an enjoyable weekend and I wish your team only the best. They have a bunch of good hockey players and I enjoyed watching them play. As for the majority of the fans, you were entertaining and a good group to exchange chants with. I met some excellent alumni from Cornell through this experience and I hope we will face off again!

GO BEAVER NATION!

Do you even know who I was referring to?  Because I wasn't talking about the group that was in the box behind Jim.  In fact, Jim and I were on opposite sides of our section.

Just go away.

The senseless manner in which you guys have responded to the Bemidji fan's mostly thoughtful nd sensible post makes we wonder.  Is that your reply only because you're still bitter at your team's loss to his team?

Or is it just another example of the feeling that you dislike posters from another school on your board?

Or maybe the earlier post says it best about your replies..."jerk."

Enjoy the off season, we all can't wait until next year.

I like Bemidji...unlike other schools in frozen wastelands, Bemidji has at least risen all the way to second-rate status.

Still drinking the Al D Kool Aid I see.

Sure, why not?

I find the responses to the Bemidji fan comical.  Foolish but still comical.

Can't wait for the new material next year.  :-D

It's referred to, in "the biz", as a running gag.  You'll find a lot of them here if you choose to read for content and humor as opposed to just opportunities to take offense.

[quote Jim Hyla]Last night I threw Snickers to some of the kids, so what happens tonight; I throw them some and they whip them back at us, with obvious intent to hit someone, not playful as if to say we don't want it.[/quote]

Eh.  Don't worry, Jim.  As soon as I saw that, I happened to acquire a Snickers of my own and whipped it at the douche who whipped one back first.  Not my finest moment, but the message was delivered that what goes around comes around.  At the same time, the annoying little kids right behind us trying to heckle us (but really, when you compare them with the little kids at Brown and Yale, they were amateurs) were happy to take the Snickers that I caught and turned to flip to them.
