HARVARD SUCKS!

Nuff said!

Agreed. . .any helpful hints on getting fish into Lynah for the Harvard game on Friday?

[jeh25]

Outside your boxers, hanging down your pant leg next to your schlong. It gets rather cold down there rather quickly but you'll live if you use flannel boxers. Duct tape the top of the ziploc bag to the top of your drawers 2-3 inches belong your waistband. They can pat you down all they like; I've never met an usher that will pat you there.

In 2000, I got six 5-6 inch long fish into B this way.  Of course, I got yanked by the ushers, but only after I got the 5th fish off. Thankfully, they didn't escort me all the way to the door and I was able to sneak back into B via the A-B aisle. These fish worked great as I was able to get great distance with a flick of the wrist.

In 1999, I duct taped a ziploc with 2 large-ish fairly flat fish to my chest over my t-shirt under my jersey. This can work too but is far more likely to get caught in a pat down.
 
Other suggestions:
a) inside a large white band instrument
b) inside a rogan's box - make sure to be eating a slice with one hand with the rogans box under the other
c) under the shirt of a busty friend; once again ushers are hesistant to give a thorough pat down
d) in Grady's pocket

Finally, if you do get caught, just be friendly, smile and give up the fish. With rare exception, you'll get in if you just surrender the fish. The ushers and police are not the Gestapo; they understand you are bound to try. In return, you should respect that they don't want to ruin your fun* but that they are just trying to do their job.

*Of the two guys at the top of B-C, the taller one is one of the friendliest guys you could meet while the other, shorter one, seems to take honest pleasure in ejecting people.

see my post about fish under the bring on harvard post if u want to hear some ways to get fish in.

[CUlater \'89]

The only issue I have with the article is billing it as one of the greatest rivalries in college hockey.  That may be true for Cornellians, but most Harvard fans and players feel otherwise.

[rhovorka]

I would tend to disagree that HU players feel otherwise.  Watching their reaction at recent games makes me think that they do care an awful lot about this game...even if it is just in response to our fanaticism.  Watch their pile up after the OT goal at Bright on eLynah (errr...wait...we're in eLynah).

And what's a "Harvard fan?"

[jtwcornell91]

I think they wear T-shirts that say "Crimson Crazies".  All three of them.

[Jeffrey "Beeeej" Anbinder \']

The shorter (and elder) of the two ushers at the top of B-C is a charming, delightful old gentleman who treats people with decency, respect, and good humor when they do the same for him.

I'm gonna go with John on this one. He's a crotchety old fart who lives to harass students unless he knows you well. And it has taken me years to get to that point with him. As long as he continues to judge people before getting to know them, I don't think he's doing his job very well...

[Beeeej]

You can have whatever opinion about the guy you like, but even in the worst of times I have almost never seen a Lynah usher "harass" a student who had not done something to earn his attention in the first place.  So if you find him crotchety and have suffered his judgment, perhaps you just need to be asking yourself why - whether or not you agree with the rules it's his job to enforce.

What does this mean?

"It was a little disappointing last year, there wasn't as many fish," Paolini added. "But I'm sure we'll get more fish this year."

[Greg Berge]

It's certainly *one of* the great college hockey rivalries (see also Clarkson-SLU, Minnesota-Wisconsin, BU-BC, UM-MSU).  While Yale is Harvard's arch-enemy, make no mistake, we are their #1 hockey rival.

Carthage must be destroyed, and Harvard still sucks.

[Brunette \'03]

john is right about the busty friend bit.  also, i've found that in general, ushers are *quite* hesitant to touch women at all -- i was barely given the once over in Yankees stadium after the terrorists attacks.  same goes for concerts and the like here.  So girls, and guys who have female friends/ fish mules, duct tape those fishies under the breasts (non-frozen works best), along the upper ribs, on the inside of the thighs, and on the butt.  these last two will only work if you're wearing slightly baggy pants.
for those who want a loud lynah, remember, if you say that here, you're only preaching to the converted.  so tell your friends.
and finally, because of my job, i can't do anything too raucous or attention-calling, so people, please, bring lots of funny signs on my behalf.  you guys are awesome, and i know you'll come through.  anyone for a "welcome cambridge community college" sign?

[Ben Doyle 03]

I can get the "Welcome Cambridge Community College" sign taken care of (that's a great one!!). The question is how big should it be? If it is to be noticed, it has to be kinda large, but then where do we put it? Maybe just hold (tape it) it against the glass during warm-ups? Keep the ideas for other signs coming, I'm game for making a bunch.

Harvard SUCKS. . .LGR!!!!
