To Those Going to Buffalo

[paulspen]

True, but in fundraising speak, "scholarships" are awarded; they're just based primarily on financial need and not merit, although some students receive named scholarships based on their major, etc.

[Jim Hyla]

Whoa Lowell. I think, like Robb, the idea was to be true in the sense that most people would interpret the phrase. What we mean is no athletic scholarships, so we should probably say that, lest someone start an argument about what we mean by aid.

[Lowell '99]

Yeah, you're right, I didn't mean to open up a can of whoop-ass on anybody.  Sorry 'bout that.  Ever since that annoying Colgate thread with those idiotic "I was offered a full ride to Cornell but turned it down!  Suck it!" posts, I get all riled up about it.

I was just trying to think of something shorter than, "We don't have to pay our players to come here."  :-)

[Mike B \'03]

Yeah, Excel would be

Financial_aid <> scholarship

How about a sign with something along the lines of

Bringing Lynah to you

-or-

Bringing Lynah to Buffalo

[Ben Doyle 03]

How about a sign that has a map of I-90 on it (including a traced map of New York and Mass) the appropriate end reads:
Bright Arena, Boston MA, aka Lynah East - *Check* 1-0-0
the middle in the appropriate place on the map Lynah Rink, Ithaca NY - *Check*15-0-0
and the other end reads HSBC Aerna, Buffalo NY, aka Lynah West - *a box for UHN and a box for a National Championship*

just an idea. . .:-}


(could even interchange Albany, NY with Boston, MA and just havbe it be a map of New York State)

[KateThe15Fan]

Indeed!  And on the way to/from Providence every time we saw one of the big green I-90 signs that said Albany above Buffalo on it, we were dying to get a camera and doctor it to say Albany, Providence, Buffalo and then blow it up to make a sign.  Not too hard to do it the "old fashioned" way with a green marker I guess

[gtsully]

Even a simple "LYNAH WEST" sign would do the trick there :-D

How about one that lists all of our playoff victims, with the losers crossed out?

RPI
Brown
Harvard
Mankato
BC
UHN

This would work much better if we make the finals, but I still like it.

Is it Thursday yet?

Let's Go Red!!!

G-ddamit, for the millionth time, Cornell does not have any freakin' scholarships[/Q] I think the alumni who established $170 million in scholarships during the recent Cornell Scholarship Campaign would beg to differ with you.  They are need-based, but they are still scholarships with criteria for selection - and Cornell refers to them as scholarships.  We're just talking about a sign and I wanted to point out that a rabid UNH fan might mock us for claiming no scholarships.

No Athletic Scholarships; Just Athletic Scholars[/Q]   and this is the best sign idea of all!

If we're going to spell UNH UHN, shouldn't we also spell RPI RIP and Harvard Hahvahd?

Oops.  Sorry, it's just instinct for me to write UHN at this point.  We should probably just spell them all correctly.  Except for Hahvahd.  That's classic.

[Q] I've always thought the "Hail, All Hail" line...[/Q]

I'd nix the Hail, all Hail - it's a bit close to Michigan's Hail to the Victors fight song lyrics- might get confusing....
