Terrible Red Towels

Wow Madhatter, you cracked the case.  Absolute genius.  
The hundred or so people that live in the apartments we live in have the same IP adress.

Okay, next order of business for anyone who wants to make this happen is what?  Contact hockey office? athletic office? Schafer?

[Beeeej]

The beginning of playoffs is not the appropriate time to be contacting any of those people about something you want to do for next season.  It's probably more appropriate to work through the Cornell Hockey Association, anyway - Sue Detzer, et al.

 On the other hand, I still think it'd be cool to have red-and-white Cornell Hockey fan scarves in the style used by European soccer and hockey clubs.  I've been seeing more of those Stateside lately, e.g., for USA Soccer, and several of the Union parents had Union College scarves in that style.[/q]You think anything European is cool, John. USA! USA! USA!

If the phrasing is "Turn Lynah Red," the defense could accomplish that singlehandedly, but it might involve five- not two-minute penalties.

[billhoward]

Fingercuffs? The punch line you may be thinking of goes something like, " ... she drops her finger-nail file."

or just invite the anthropology and political philosophy faculty

If "C" of red at lynah becomes a regular deal, can I be given an exception? The only two times I wore red to Lynah, we lost both of those games to Harvard. :-( I think that's reason enough.

So I think we can agree about European-style USA Soccer scarves.

I wonder if the standard scarf dimensions have some convenient aspect ratio, like A4 paper.

Of course there's another option which was used in Philadelphia during the playoffs.  I think a bank or some type of company just made 20,000 orange shirts and had them on every seat so the whole place was orange.  Last year for the basketball game against Georgia Tech, all students who came to the game got "Red Zone" T-shirts so everyone in the student section was wearing red.[/q]

BU did the same thing for the opening of Harry Agganis Arena, by giving everyone red t-shirts.  Of course, if one more person had reminded me to wear red (which I was going to do anyway) I would have put on my white SCREW BU shirt over my red Cornell jersey just to spite them. :-(

Judy is not allowed to wear red to Cornell hockey games.  I wear a white game-worn to Cornell games and a red replica to non-Cornell games.  Individual traditions are cool, and probably part of the reason why these orchestrated wardrobe things don't excite me.

*Whooooooooosh*

I know exactly what punch line I was going for Bill. I just thought subtlety would be funnier quoting the movie dialog verbatim.

Maybe you can drive up to Red Bank and get Rick Derris or Cohee Lundin to explain what fingercuffs means.

Snoogins.

To further explain the joke for those not in the know, it helps to have seen the film Chasing Amy.

A certain % of the crowd is Contrarian and woud not wear red precisely because there was an orchestrated promotion, but:

1) That would give Contrarians a reason to feel superior, which is always good, and
2) By definition, the Sheeple you gain will far outnumber the Petulants you'll lose.

The Quinnipiac presence at the NCAAs looked *sharp.*  I also recall the overwhelming effect caused by the UVM crowds at the Gahden and Placid, or by other similarly Borg-dressed crowds (Minny, Maine, Wisco).  It is a great amplifier and I'd bet the players would get a kick out of it.  So I suggest at least a word-of-mouth campaign, spread in the frats and dorms, to increase the amount of red and white (any Cornell jersey counts, period).

Maybe the townies should wear white and students, red. Unless you're in C, in which case you should, naturally, wear red. :-P
