I'm definitely going to the game. I'm not sure of the wisdom of bringing the sign if I'm not even going to be close to Donato at any point--I'm in section 13, pretty far away from the Sucks bench.

he looks like he's starting to get alittle thin, but it's a very early stage.

Pace · October 31, 2005, 07:04:41 PM

Ah, that's too bad that you're not behind their bench. It'd be hilarious.

Will · October 31, 2005, 07:05:38 PM

Of course, if somebody wants to trade my section 13 tickets for front of section 5 tickets, I'd take 'em in a heartbeat, and I'd totally bring the sign. :-D

Pace · October 31, 2005, 07:07:00 PM

Haha. That'd be totally worth it. I have an ex at Harvard, let me see if she can still get tix in section 5.

Don't forget Danny boy - this picture was taken back in the days when I had hair, too:

Nice red eye and to be fair, he's balding but not quite bald.

Will, cant you just sneak over at some point? Or are the Harvard ushers strict?

evilnaturedrobot · October 31, 2005, 09:53:03 PM

Even if the ushers arn't overly strict the harvard fans in the vicinity would porbably point him out to them. Holding up a sign rediculing the home team's coach tends to draw attention to one's self.

One of my favorite Lynah Faithful memories (in the Futile-But-Lovably-Spunky category) comes from the 1985 ECAC championship at the Boston Garden. That year, to no one's surprise, Cornell was eliminated in the semis by eventual national champions RPI. During the game, the Faithful serenaded Engineers' coach Mike Adessa by pointing at him and chanting "Coach is fat! Coach is fat! Coach is fat!" -- a riff modeled on the one that had been used for Harvard coach Bill Cleary in the 1970s-80s ("Coach is bald! Coach is bald! Coach is bald!).

After beating Clarkson in the 1985 consolation game, most of us stuck around to watch RPI play Harvard in the championship. As you might expect, the "Coach is fat! Coach is fat! Coach is fat!" chant started up when Adessa began ranting to the refs. After a pause, someone started pointing at the Harvard bench and chanting "Coach is bald! Coach is bald! Coach is bald!" Then, starting quietly but slowly gaining momentum, the Faithful pointed a sea of fingers at Adessa and shouted "FAT!", then pointed a sea of fingers across the rink at Cleary and shouted "BALD!" And so it went: "BALD! ... FAT! ... BALD! ... FAT! ... BALD! ... FAT!" It echoed around the Garden -- no surprise given the somnabulence of the RPI and Harvard fans. The arena had been hijacked. Even Cleary smiled.
