Also, what the hell was up with the jackasses throwing the alma mater lyrics on the ice in the second intermission? There were probably 20 or 30 thrown before the ushers waddled down and looked sternly about. Starting to feel like Starr in there.

Not only that, but another effect is that little kids in J-L started doing it as well.  At least I hope it was only kids.  My guess is that they see the student sections do it, so they now think it's OK to as well.  One youngster in J tried to launch his crumpled sheet up over the net multiple times, even after the players were out warming up for the 3rd.

Don't forget hats.

Yeah that pissed me off as well. All it takes is a few jackasses and everyone starts to copy. After my friends and I yelled at them to stop, they then proceeded to throw the alma mater's at us. Hey, at least that way they didn't end up on the ice.

That doesn't change the fact that it's disrespectful to Cornell.  I would somewhat expect visiting fans to do that, but not Cornellians.

Sigh...do we really need a total dominance season (like that of last year) to bring out the best in fans?  Zod help us should we ever have a truly bad season in the near future.

Eh, most of the idiots (hopefully) won't be back next year since this season was sooooo horrible. I mean, for heaven's sake, they lost games at home!. ::rolleyes::

My wife and I checked our pulses last year in Providence at the end of the third period against BC. Just watching that game, we were in the moderate aerobic range! I don't think my heart could stand eight 2-1 games in a row, not at this level. I would much prefer eight 4-1 games, ala St. Lawrence, thank you.

Nonono. you got it backwards. The reason the fans were so great in 03 was because at least some of them remembered 00 and 01.  

The lean years are good for the diehard fanbase because it weeds out the idiots.

[CowbellGuy]

But by their estimation, this will have been a lean year. If they only knew...

Okay, I understand.  Still, it's sad that we need to have a few lean years in order to periodically weed out the idiots.  I hate to think that the price of potentially having a team in the future that may be great year-in year-out for a number of consecutive years will be to have to put up with a couple hundred idiotic "fans".

[RedAR]

hmmm...  this got me thinking...

maybe that's why the VAST MAJORITY of UND fans are complete and utter idiots.

just a guess, but a few lean years can't be too bad.

Naturally, the Faithful in the late 60's and early 70's were exceptions.

Seriously, I was throwing candy then (not during the singing mind you ) and told them that they didn't deserve any.
