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

One of my favorite back-n-forths happened at Lynah with Colgate.

Faithful: "Safety School...Safty School..."
'pasteful: "Suicide School...Suicide School..."
Faithful: "Nursery School...Nursery School..."
'pasteful: "NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!"
Faithful: "Mooooooorons....Mooooooorons..."

Each one happened right after the other, and each time, more and more chuckles happened around the stands. I bet section H looked like they were watching a tennis match.

[quote Rich S]Now wait a second,

At Colgate, being drunk (the 'Gate fans) was bad.

But at Slu, being drunk (your band) was good?

Interesting.
[/quote]It is the difference between being drunk before the game and getting drunk after the game.

Rich S · February 14, 2006, 04:12:16 PM

Good point by you both.

However, it begs the question, where do cornell fans that I've seen drunk at Lynah during a game fit in?

[quote Rich S]However, it begs the question, where do cornell fans that I've seen drunk at Lynah during a game fit in?[/quote]At Lynah. Where they are embraced and respected for being able to hold their liquor.

I cannot begin to fathom why anyone would want to be drunk during a college hockey game. You're there to watch the damn game! Go party afterwards.

Hence the reason I don't make stops at Club 99 before Clarkson home games. I don't think I've ever been drunk for a Knights home game. I've only been drunk for one away game, and I didn't like it, I couldn't concentrate on the game or anything. Probably never doing that again.

I thought the response to Clarkson's "empty net" point and chant was great.

The Pep Band countered by pointing and chanting "ice..ice...ice" and "lights...lights...lights" over and over to let Clarkson's band know that they were impressed they knew what an empty net looked like. I wonder if Clarkson handed their band treats after the game :-P

Rich S · February 14, 2006, 05:44:26 PM

now that's an easily impressed band.

Rich S · February 14, 2006, 05:48:50 PM

I didn't see anyone respecting the drunken slobs who paraded around the Clarkson Pep Band and harrassed visiting Clarkson fans at Lynah a few years ago.

They didn't appear to be holding their liquor well and no one seemed in a hurry to "embrace" them.

Seems fair to say that every venue has at least a few "fans" of this type. And I agree, you're there to watch the game, supposedly. Stay home if you want to get drunk and annoy someone (yourself).

[quote daredevilcu]Hence the reason I don't make stops at Club 99 before Clarkson home games.[/quote]I've been there before a game once or maybe twice. RichH and I agreed that it was a nice place to kill an hour or two before a game.

Perhaps if you're trying to blot out the fact that four WZHA teams are playing for the national title. Not that I'd know anything about that.

Yeah, but that was some GOOD tailgating that came along with the blotting.

Hypothetically.

[q]Perhaps if you're trying to blot out the fact that four WZHA teams are playing for the national title. Not that I'd know anything about that.[/q]If it's that bad, I would think one could blot it out much better by selling the tickets on eBay and saving the airfare. But that's just me.
