Colgate starting time

[Trotsky]

Since Colgate considers Cornell its major rival while Cornell only considers Colgate a minor diversion until the next Harvard game, we should break out this chant that UNC uses against North Carolina State.

"Not our ri-val! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap)"

I would be ecstatic were that to work its way into the repertoire of the Lynah Faithful. Colgate makes such a big out of the "rivalry" that it is laughable. I will be stuck in the nether realm of Section E, but I will echo it if someone in the better-positioned sections starts it.

Harvard should do this to us.  If they had fans, I mean.

Modified quote from the Q postgame thread:

Harvard fans, if they had them, would never echo jeering.  That's a new money thing.

the cost of 14+ games is a little over $15 a game , thats about the price of a movie.. when i first started going it was about $60 a season.

I think the tickets are over priced a bit. and in reality when the price starts getting to $20-$25+ a ticket, which is getting close , it may be time to give up season tickets and just go to most games, instead of buying seasons and trying to sell half the time..

demand has gone way down.

but for kids paying $50k to go to school does $250 really make a dent?

I also think the school should get with the real world.. offer a payroll decuction for employees to spread the cost out. and do the same for the kids, bursar the bill across 6 months or offer quarterly payments or something.

it also doesnt help the school that so many teams travel so poorly..

I like it, trying to find a way to make it our own, but if I can't come up with a better phrasing I'll gladly start it as is, assuming a good moment arises. These things can't be forced.

Edit: I'd also love to add something I just saw that UNH does to Catholic teams when they receive penalties. They're start berating the players serving time from BC and Providence with a chant of "Ten-Hail-Mar-y's *clap-clap clap-clap-clap*". I don't even care that we'd be appropriating it from UNH, it's a brilliant chant whenever you're playing a catholic school.

Thanks. I will be taking a younger cousin to see the game and even though he's been to Lynah, the mood won't be right to start belting that out. We'll all join in though.

Also, chants started in E/D tend to die unceremonious deaths.

You have to remember, a lot of students are here on financial aid. Not everyone pays $50K. For some students $250 is a substantial amount of money on top of what they are already paying.

Thinking about it the best place for this chant is probably Starr for those who are traveling to Hamilton tomorrow. Not that this fact should stop anyone tonight.

I like the "not our rival" cheer.  But are any of the ECAC schools Jesuit?

Nope we'd have to be playing someone like BC or Providence. Just food for thought for potential future match ups.

Were you Marie Antoinette in a past life?  If you're broke when you enroll at Cornell, those grants and loans which cover your tuition cost will leave you, hmmm, let's see...carry the 2...oh, yep: still broke.  I assure you that there are people at Cornell who struggle on a weekly basis to make ends meet (no, I wasn't one of them).  If you didn't know any, then you missed out on meeting some amazing and inspiring people.

Age, you're going to have to bring back that "-1" button...

When it's hockey tickets or books, as it was for me freshman year, it makes a difference. Particularly when I could walk another fifty yards east and watch basketball for free.

Not to mention Merrimack or Notre Dame (if we get into the ECAC tourney this year).

I am happy to admit that the price of hockey season tickets are pricey for many students.  Not everyone can have fellowship pay for three years of season tickets (true story!)  But the cost  doesn't explain why students who have tickets can't get their butts (feet?) in their seats by the opening faceoff. Bringing up cost is just rationalizing "bad" behavior.

(Substitute "weak" or "lame" or some other pejorative word for "bad" in the above.)

I agree that the time has to be right, but disagree about Lynah vs. Starr: it's not every night that we have a national audience on television. We won't have that tomorrow at Starr.
