The very notion that he felt he had single out -- out of all possible schools -- Cornell to defend his "fandom" says it all.

He understand who's boss.

Wow, what a tool.  There's nobody I'd rather see Cornell beat on a national stage, but I'd been to three games at Walter Brown when that punk was in grade school watching the Devils, and I'll gladly admit that BU (like Clarkson and even WMU) has a good crowd.  And if he weren't such a snot-nosed kid, he'd know we had a much better fan showing at WBA than BU did at Lynah.

Mark, can you go knock some sense into your schoolmate?

Hey, the truth hurts. I couldn't agree more. EVERY ONE of Cornell's fans are phony facetimers who wouldn't know a hockey puck from a Ring Ding. You're all useless Ancient 8ers!!!

How's that? B-]

I read those comments and didn't know what the heck he was talking about. I chalk it up to teenage goofyness and speaking before you think. BU certainly has a good core of dedicated hockey fans, but apathy has also run rampant at the school for decades, so I don't know what this "this college, this team" blather is all about. I don't think Cornell fans take a back seat to ANYBODY in college hockey. You've earned a reputation as a strong and supportive fan base, both at home and on the road, and why this sophomore chose to make sophomoric comments in the school paper about Big Red Nation is beyond me. I wouldn't give those comments too much thought, if only because they were so bizarre.

Oh, and John, I may have gone to the same (safety) school as this guy, but considering I was there when Lance Nethery was doing the lamp lighting for the Red, I wouldn't consider him a schoolmate. Misguided yes, but not a schoolmate. Just remember these comments are certainly not representative of all BU fans -- not even close.

Good luck to the Big Red this season...at least the Terriers won't have to spend Thanksgiving break getting their hind quarters booted around Lynah again.

Peace.

I found two Jonathong Goldberg's in the BU student directory, but unfortunately I can't tell which is the right one:

http://www.bu.edu/htbin/webph/query.pl?id=X38662&ret=all

Also, only the second one has an email address listed.

Maybe he's just upset at how we pasted you guys last Thanksgiving. :-P  ::laugh::

[rhovorka]

...and giving an interview talking about how great you are while wearing facepaint isn't trying to draw attention to yourself. :-}

Also amusing is the proximity of the words "hip-hop" and "Jack Parker" in that story.

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

I think he's just compensating for a small...crowd.

[DeltaOne81]

I know who it is - it's the second one..

I also wonder if his anger has anything to do with the fact that he got dumped by his Cornell gf ;-).

If you wanna call him out, may I suggest you do it on USCHO :-D...

Hmm, I thought I remembered WBA as one of the reasonable BU posters on USCHO.

My recollection as well.  I think I even remember positive comments on his part about Cornell fans and crowds.

Who knows?  Maybe a tape recorder in your face or a reporter looking for something controversial can do that to you.

has the red and white game always been the way cornell kicks off its hockey season?

[DeltaOne81]

Al,

Yeah, I agree. I'm sure he just got carried away...

doesn't mean I'm not tempted to call him out with a 'Hey WBA, your ex-gf from Cornell who was too good for you called, she said YOU SUCK' - trying to figure out if it's too cruel. Votes?  :-D
