I know engineers try to avoid the evil Daystar (...it burns...it burns) but try walking around the ag quad in may (hmmmm....tank tops) or a gorge in august (hmmmm....bikinis).



Or maybe they've gotten uglier in the last 5 years... but between my wife and our other XX friends, they were always plenty of good looking women about.  
Cornell '98 '00; Yale 01-03; UConn 03-07; Brown 07-09; Penn State faculty 09-
Work is no longer an excuse to live near an ECACHL team... :(

The Arts Quad from May to September is nice too, and fairly well populated.
Is next year here yet?

I apologize for those rowdy fans.  I assure you, those people are NOT representative of true members of the Lynah Faithful.[/q]

That's nice of you to apologize, but as someone who sits in section N I can tell you that I was apalled at the gutter mouths in Clarkson jerseys and hats we had to endure. It's nice to know that Clarkson folks have a deep appreciation of the the F word. It didn't seem to matter that there were some kids sitting around them (not that it should be any different if it were only adults). It didn't seem to matter to them that we had to spend more time in the beginning of the game trying to get them to clean up their language than we got to spend watching our own team in our own building. It also didn't seem to matter to the Clarkson folks that some jackass keep blowing that obnoxious horn -- which does not qualify as an instrument and can't possibly be a part of the pep band. I think it's great that the opposing band comes to Lynah and shows support for their team, regardless of whether they suck or not. I thought they showed poor taste & sportsmanship throughout Friday night's game; but I thought that was insignificant to the poor taste and lack of decency shown by many of the Clarkson fans. That being said, I doubt these few ignorant, and probably drunken, knights truly represent the majority of Clarkson fans. Or do they?

Lastly, as someone who spent some undergrad time at Arizona State and San Diego State I can tell you that Cornell women are as beautiful as they come and, yes, maybe that has something to do with the fact that they're among the most brilliant in the country.

I suggest we all quit, and those of us who are moving on can now find ways to dump on UVM. In fact, since they have chosen to leave the ECACHL, maybe all of us can unite and dump on them.:-D

Time to make (recreate?) those "Out of Your League" signs.

Sage advice. I must remember, please don't feed the animals.

The ranking used to be:

1t.   Clarkson
1t.   Cornell
3.    RPI
4.    Brown
5.    Harvard
6.    Colgate
7.    Vermont
8.    SLU (guy with a keyboard who had the melody wrong for #7)
N/A   Yale, Princeton, Union, Dartmouth[/q]

The Yale band has really impressed me of late, both in person in the 2002 quarterfinals and  by reputation.  How can you not respect a band that plays "Uncle Fucka"?

Yale's marching band had a good sound back then, but their band was hockey MIA as far as I remember.  98 and 99 seemed to energize their fan base.  From what I heard from the @ Yale game this year, though, it seems like their band and fan base might even be able to make it through a horrible year like this one.

Geeze, you expected me to pass up that fastball right down the middle?  You're just loving dishing it out and now you have trouble taking it.

Oh right...last year never happened, I forgot.  ::rolleyes::

Thanks ben, I appreciate your concern, I'll get right on it.  ::rolleyes::

Not having the least bit of trouble taking it.  As soon as someone starts dishing it out in any way worth noticing, I'll take it.  ::rolleyes::

P.S. Seriously, I meant it when I said "all due respect."  I appreciate having had you guys around this board the last week or two, it's been entertaining, educational, and good for perspective.
