[/q]In their defense (not sure why I'm defending them, but...), the banner is in RPI's colors, isn't it?

Looks like the pot is calling the kettle "Red".

OMGZ A CLARKSON FAN READS ELYNAH

Actually, we didn't have a choice as to where we could hang it.  All but one banner had to be hung on that wall, per our arena director's instructions.  Trust me, if we were allowed to hang it ourselves, we'd have put it over the opponents' section.  Obviously, we made the banner RPI's colors to signify exactly who we were talking about.

You know, you could always, um... make it clearer by adding the letters "RPI."

We have other Clarkson readers.  It's actually quite cordial, in most cases.

Also, since the visitors section is technically a corner of the arena, the logistics of hanging it above them would be very difficult to still make it visible.

Probably even more amusing are the pictures of RPI's team's heads being shaved.

It's for a good cause, so good for them, but it doesn't lessen the humor for everyone involved.

Or should this go on the "bald" thread?  :-)

Cancer is humorous? ::rolleyes:: BTW, the hair is being donated to make wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair due to treatments.

OTOH, Clarkson thinking that RPI is a safety school for them is humorous. However I do not agree with the second sentence of the next-to-the-last paragraph of this letter to the editor in the RPI student newspaper. http://www.poly.rpi.edu/article_view.php3?view=4340&part=1

How in the world did you take my sentence to mean that I thought that it was the cancer that was humorous?  Judging by the smiles in each of the photographs, I believe that they are having a good time with what they are doing, which I pointed out was a very good cause.

It is, of course, always hard to understand the exact meaning of anything that is written, so I'll take your latest statement as a clarification of your earlier one.

While, I agree that the pictures are somewhat amusing, I don't think that there is any humor in Kirk MacDonald's situation. I hope that he is able to return to hockey next season and more importantly continue with his life.

I agree without question.
