How To Be a Good Fan

 Well, at least MOST of the 3836 would say that, i.e., those being the home fans in attendance.   Does that make it fact?  Not a chance.

I'm recalling that in my 3 years of coaching HS hockey here in NJ, I must have ducked out of the way of four or five pucks that were flew over the bench and came towards me.  Did I think any one of those kids were aiming at me or anyone else on our bench?

Nope, I was just glad that this old goalie's eyes and reactions were both good enough to get out of the way.  Only someone with an inflated ego would have a first thought that he was the target of a player.

As noted, Schafer was probably glad he wasn't hit.  Which leaves you guys with the ego problem... [/q]Come on, Rich, even YOU can't be this asinine.  There's a difference between a puck that randomly flies into the bench during the course of play and a puck that's flicked upwards and sideways by a player who's standing right next to the bench, a second or two after it was dropped, with five seconds left in a two-goal game.  Watch the video.  Take off your green-and-gold glasses.  Tell me with a straight face that Scuderi needed to do anything other than stickhandle for three seconds until the game ended (look at the box score, that's how long was left in the game), or that there was ANY reason for him to be shooting the puck ANYWHERE at all (let alone in a direction where, oh look, Mike Schafer just HAPPENS to be standing).  You can't do it.  It was a dirty, classless play, and it was deservedly penalized, and it's only your irresistible urge to defend anything Clarkson-related that keeps you from acknowledging that.

But no, you'll just accuse me of dwelling on things that happened three years ago, rather than face up to reality.  Go ahead.  Use the rolleyes smiley a few times.  Accuse Cornell of being dirty in Schafer's early years (but don't back it up with any specific examples).  Talk about how I don't know what was in Scuderi's head and that I don't have any right to draw a conclusion because I didn't interview him after the game.  But please, by all means, don't bother to look at what actually happened.  You might not like what you see.

Point of order, the band's new faculty advisor has said that saying "sucks" is now permissible... of course, he is new at the post.[/q]Awesome.  I like him already.  (Not that it was ever Conn who cared about the language.)

One man's "questionable officiating" is another man's "Clarkson under Morris was often a dirty team".  *shrug*[/Q]
Right...just like cornell under Schafer in the early years.[/Q]
It was a slander then and it is a slander now.

A quick comparison of "dirty" Cornell under Schafer vs. Clarkson:
Year     Cornell PIM    Clarkson PIM
95-96   792                937
96-97   ?                    ?
97-98   595                 747
98-99   569                 550
99-00   543                 518
00-01   417                 442
01-02   458                 663
02-03   499                 710

That was some year you put together under Gentleman Fred Parker.

Edit: Maybe I shouldn't use words like "slander" when the number 792 is sitting there, but at least "glass houses" seems appropriate.[/q]
As much as defending Clarkson goes against my grain, wouldn't this make more sense if it was on a PIM/game basis? Clarkson does play more games. (Well, at least in the regular season they do. ;-) )

The only school, AFAIK, that puts heavy weight on the interview is the Hotel School. They require it, and it can make or break you. I know my interview for the Arts School was pretty lame and never went back to the admissions committee anyway.

I'm pretty sure architecture has a required interview as well.  I'm not sure how we'd know, thought, because I've never heard of a non-architecht ever actually meeting one...

My girlfriend had an Architect friend who lived near her in Balch.  Actually we used to have to make sure she occasionally slept in her room at Balch rather than at her desk in Rand.

Yeah - I've heard that urban legend before, too, JTW - a friend of a friend...  ;-)
