Cornell at St. Lawrence post-game thread (2/11/06)

[quote jtwcornell91][quote oceanst41]Speaking of rules, do they always ban Cornell from shouting "red" during the anthem at Appleton? They even went so far as to say if anyone shouted "red" the band could be removed from the rink, even if they weren't with the band.[/quote]

Typical Appleton horseshit. Yes, they're within their rights to tell you what to do, but for that matter, they're entitled to ban cheering for the visiting team, but it doesn't make it right.[/quote]

Well I wouldn't say they banned Cornell cheering, but they heavily restricted it. We were told that we were not allowed to yell T after the S-L-U or the band would be kicked out. I'm pretty sure someone got yelled at for doing the St. Lawrence sucks cheer too. That said, one of my buddy's was yelling Madilldo and SLUT as much as he possibly he could and he didn't get yelled at.

Wow, that's just stupid. I hope you yelled all those things anyway, because they don't even try to limit Clarkson fans that harshly. I've never heard of anyone being asked not to yell "T" or "suck" at those games. I really, really hate that arena... FAR more than Lynah.

My friend (who is not a Cornellian but is rapidly becoming a fan) and I loudly added the "T" from our section at the end of the rink. There were many older alumni in our section, and it was a little quiet at first, but as the team started to rally we got a lot more participation. Our section also got much better with simple "Let's Go Red" and "Sieve" cheers as the game went on. I did have to explain to the lady next to me why we were yelling "T".

[quote CowbellGuy]My quote WAS from the NCAA rulebook, not NHL. If that's the case, then the rulebook completely contradicts itself. Wouldn't be the first time.[/quote]

Can I ask what section you got your quote from? I read both the actual tripping rule and the associated interpretation regarding "the diving sweep check" in back, and didn't see anything like what you quoted.

They "changed" that rule in 2004, deleting the "unquestionably hook-checking" paragraph and replace it with a directive to see the interpretation already cited. USA Hockey still has the "unquestionably hook-checking" paragraph and has always had the interpretation that the situation described (player leaves his feet, trips opponent) is an infraction.

Which rule used to be, and which is current?

Apropos of explaining to the impaired, former Miss America - turned - conservative (before flipping the other way) Anita Bryant did a Playboy interview ... her husband sat in ... a reference was made to the digits 6 and 9 ... her (shortly thereafter ex-) husband made a crack about it being beyond her ... and the Playboy interviewer had to illustrate with pencil and paper the significance of the numerals. There was a glimmer of recognition followed by an audible gasp, he wrote.

Bill, that's the kind of stuff people should PM you to hear.

Wow, not even gun shy after the gestapo in Minnesota takes you to the limit. Kudos.

[quote cth95]I feel the national anthem deserves quiet and respect until it finishes with the usual cheering.[/quote]

I on the other hand was taught not to applaud the national anthem.

Chris \'03 · February 13, 2006, 11:54:09 PM

The last time I was there I just shouted "can" and confused some Union fans enough that they missed the UC. If you're going to shout something, I'd encourage shouting can instead of sucks.

WillR · February 14, 2006, 12:45:04 AM

Having gone to Union i would venture that yelling U makes more sense. Lets go U is kind of the same as LGR. That said when i was there in '95 i don't recall the shout out as part of the national anthem so i could be wrong. Though if they/we do then i am all in favor of it even if it doesn't hold a candle to the RED part of the national anthem.

Same here. Clapping at the end of the anthem always makes me think the crowd is saying, "thank Christ it's over -- drop the puck."
