How To Be a Good Fan

Cupcakes give you tummyaches!

You guys haven't been paying attention or rather, exercise selective memory.  I have said for several years that Clarkson has played "undisciplined" hockey, taking many dumb penalties, a lot in retaliation.

In Morris's best years they still took a lot of penalties but not the dumb kind plus they were at or near the top in special teams play, much as cornell has been in recent years.

Give it a rest with Parker.  Your comment borders on the moronic.  He was thrust into an untenable situation with no administrative support and a team clearly in turmoil and devoid of senior leadership.  Think of cornell in the McCutcheon years.

Slander?  Oh please...you don't recall all the other ECAC coaches that complained about cornell's style back then?

Slander?  Lik eyou guys lambasting Morris when you did not know and still do not know all the facts?

Give it a rest.   My Peewees and Bantams see things in a more objective way than you guys do.  One of you raised that "question" so there you go.

[RichS]

right, see how silly everyone can be?

Oh wow, you have the video of Scuderi...I dont recall Killer Schafer making an issue of it, so why do you so long after the fact ?

And of course, you interviewed Scuderi and he said.."yeah I intended to hit someone on the bench."


Get over your obsession.

Rich, you really have to chill out. It might be better for you not to contradict every sentence of yourself too.

You attack for him bringing up something so long ago, yet you were the one who brought up the "early days of Schafer" and Fred Parker (which was approximately equally long ago as the puck shooting incident.

You agree that the argument is stupid and silly, and then you continue it, and then say everyone else is obsessed.

I'm not here to help you win, or to bail you out (although you were getting you ass handed to you on the goonery/PIM stats).

You're free to make your points on here, although I wish we could get back to a more interesting discussion and that's my point.

But you may want to avoid bringing up things 8 years ago and then criticizing people who bring up something from 2 years ago because it was so far back. It completely destroys any chance at credibility.

ahhhhh ... RichS ... no interview needed. anyone of the 3836 in attendance can tell you he intended to hit someone[/U] on the Cornell bench. who???
we'll never know ... but you'd be a fool to  deny his intent.

Since I'm not taking sides, that's not true. Its very deniable. Its always deniable. You could think it was just an accident. Afterall, people still think Clemens wasn't throwing neither the ball nor the broken bat at Piazza. Or, not to take sides in the Yanks/Sox thing here, that Pedro doesn't throw at people.

Its always deniable, and its not really the point anyway. Making a point on one instance to prove a generality isn't very hard proof. The PIM is much more convincing. Best stick to that anyway.

Some Clarkson fan complains because a 32-year-old Cornell fan exclaims, "Let's go, Red!"? What's she gonna say if Clarkson ever gets a home-and-home series with Nebraska in football (club football?) and the Cornhusker fans pull up Thursday afternoon in the Bluebird motor homes (ever price one of those suckers?) and start partying for the next 72 hours. That's the fans for which one should reserve, "Grow up."

One of the nicest things is that Cornell hockey, especially road games, brings together three generations of Cornellians for a couple hours. And the old broad from along the St. Lawrence wants to destroy that very bond? Sheesh.

It's at 2229 views so far. I'm guessing 4,000 before this slugfest winds down. Cowbell Guy, you started it; if you were getting ad views on top of the pages, I'd think you had an ulterior motive. So it has to be pure altruism that you led you to scan and post this page.

Stupid question and I asked this once before: If the hockey pep band also is the group that showed up for the Cornell @ Princeton lax game last year, the Cornell OT victory, you were outstanding there, too, especially in light of the absence of the Princeton Tiger dismounted, not marching band. Way to go.

Actually, I think the band is plenty loud enough at Lynah, but that's just aging ears. Love those Etymotics ear plugs.

[billhoward]

That is one part tasteless and three parts funny. We should all (maybe even me) cool down.

Yeah, that was the pep band. That is one of my favorite memories of my time here.

The look on the Princeton fan base was hilarious, as was their assistant coach saying "keep those guys as far away from us as possible."

It's my nuclear option.

I only pull it out when the situation really really calls for it.
