New Lynah scoreboard

[Scersk '97]

Just feels like a prelude to "last minute of play brought to you by Cayuga medical center" and pushing the same intermission videos we see on the stream.

I bet there will be something unnecessary for when the team takes the ice too.

Blech.

If (who am I kidding, when) they do that I recommend the fans (1) boo loud AF and (2) not buy any concessions.  Starve the fucks.

Reminds me of "Subway sucks!"

I hope they prove me wrong, but I worry that today's kids don't have the nerve to execute a similar protest, nor might they know that there is anything to protest in the first place given that their lives have been so suffused with corporatism.

In Troy we have the Jones,  Hacker,  Murphy Powerplay. The only consolation is that Jones is dopey enough to sit in section 7 once a year.  A certain old fart gets to heckle the doofus. "Ice is slippery. "

Since they do a lot of criminal defense I'm amused they didn't sponsor the penalty... um...kill.::whistle::

We do get the RBG powerplay on a given night each year.

This lowest common denominator garbage is the bane of the universe and hitherto, with a few exceptions, we've somehow managed to keep Lynah clear of it.  When whichever corporate assholes owned the Montreal Forum fired the organist and started piping in idiot music the Habs fans reacted so violently they were forced to reverse the decision.

The scoreboard should be used for scores, time, penalties, and replays.  None of the rest of that insulting crap should ever see the light of a pixel.  Ithaca and Cornell are way above that.

Here's a man still unhappy The New York Times runs photographs in color.

Yes, the scoreboard will have dopey applications and fans will be urged to stand up, cheer, wave, not throw fish. But that's life. Things change. We get older. Today's freshmen - first-years - have different perspectives. They may like the scoreboard.

Yes, things change.  And half the time they get worse, and not everybody is going to just bend over for it.

The rape-level permeation of advertising into real life may not bother you, but it bothers many more observant and wise people.

So if you don't give a shit, welp, you're part of the dehumanization of our culture, so fuck you.

Students and townies should do everything they can to stop this kind of garbage.

I'm in favor of painting the boards white again and doing away with "The Boatyard Fan of the Game", but that ship has sailed.

I have not yet made my peace with ads running before movie-theater movies. You pay ten dollars, it's to see a movie, not ads for soda and local car dealers. But I have stopped yelling, "Just how the bleeping movie."

We both probably say to ourselves, "Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Unless it's the goal lamp behind the opposition nets.

[upprdeck]

so get to the movie 15 min later and skip all the ads.. its been that way for 100+ years of movies.

[BearLover]

I think being able to watch replays is a big enough upside that it outweighs all of the downsides.

Or skip the movie and stream it on Kodi. If they can't take a joke, fuck 'em.

[CAS]

Agree with BearLover - looking forward to watching replays

Disagree. Mitigates penalties for phone distraction. "Now FoMO doesn't prevent me from soothing my FoMO!"

Whither intense concentration? Sacrificed on the altars of technology and commerce.

I like replays, but given the dimensions, the replays what will be kinda small.
