Cornell @ Princeton

[Adam]

I'll do the same thing for the Princeton game.  Just ordered my tickets today online.

If you're going, chime in.  Also, does anyone know if the band will be at this game?

[Tub(a)]

The band will be at the Yale/Princeton away games.

Transportation is the problem at this point though.

[judy]

Yes sir, just have to get my tickets...of course, I've just gotten walk up tickets the last 3 years...

There was a small gathering at Winberries (sp?) last year.

I plan on being there, possibly with a non-Cornellian friend.  I haven't ordered tickets yet, but I'm not worried unless the faithful buy the whole place out.

One can hope, Jeff, one can hope....

Be forewarned, though.... Princetonians get offended very easily, particularly with gratuitous use of the word "suck."

[Sarli]

Some people just can't handle the truth

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

SUCK!!!!!

Get over it.  ::moon::

Adam '01-

You ordered the Princeton tix online from where?
Thanks.

I thought you hi-brow Ivy League types didn't use such pedestrian language.  :-D

If you think, the Princetonians object to the usual language of the "faithful", it may be because there's always a large youth population at Baker.  I've been going to Baker since '78 and that's what I've noticed.

The Princeton "crowd" is usually quite well-behaved...and disturbingly quiet.  ::rolleyes::

[Al DeFlorio]

For the dozenth time, for him who hasn't yet mastered use of the dictionary, "sucks" is a perfectly good slang word meaning "objectionable" or "inadequate."::rolleyes::

I'd give an example that comes immediately to mind, but discretion is occasionally the better part of valor. ::nut::

 Al,

The term has distasteful conotations which should preclude its use in a large public setting.   Surely we can be a tad more creative to express our disdain for the bad guys, eh?

I grant you that today's youth may not grasp that conotation but people of your age and mine grew up with the word meaning something quite different than "objectionable".

And please...no more dictionary lectures.  Thanks.

"Princeton is objectionable and inadequate!" just doesn't have the same ring to it....

I think a steady cheer of "Princeton's in New Jersey" would be quite appropriate.  Perhaps someone would be willing to add to the hijinx by shouting "Oh crap!  So am I!" and run screaming out of the rink.
