Harvard(sucks) @ Lynah

[Ben Doyle 03]

::help::Word has it (from a University source) that Harvard(sucks) has submitted a petition to the NCAA requesting that they not have to play at Lynah Rink. They have apparently cited "unsafe playing conditions" and an "unfair advantage" as their grounds for this petition (not likely to be granted for this season). This is the first time I've heard of such a thing, can anyone say if this is past practice or is Harvard(sucks) just acting like harvard(sucks).::help::

Wha??

Sissies. ::rolleyes::

[kaelistus]

Hah! Not like Lynah East provides them with a more home crowd advantage. What wimps...

[Beeeej]

No word of this that I can find on USCHO or elsewhere...does anybody have a report or an independent source on this?  I find it difficult to believe, even though I never would have predicted a lot of what's already happened in this young season.

Maybe Harvard is mad about the HockeyCam too?  ::nut::

Beeeej,

My source heard of the petition mid last week. . .it may be too new for most others to have heard about. Who knows???

^^ LOL Felix.

This seems really bizarre and unlikely to me. But hey, I guess that's Hahvahd for you.

"Unfair advantage"?  Isn't that the point of home ice?  I guess Harvard wouldn't understand that.

[Adam \'01]

Don't they realize that no matter where they "move" this game to, it's still going to be a hostile and "unfair" environment?  Isn't it already abudently clear to them that the Lynah Faithful travel?  Harvard, of all teams, should know this.

think we all know that this is buzzzzzzzzzzzzz. but it is funny to think about  ::nut::

[Tom Tseng]

If the rumor is true, I'd welcome a move of venue to the Bay Area.  That way, I won't have to travel cross-country to hear for my beloved Big Red team.  I dare say the rest of you WILL make the trek to Lynah West...:-))

How about reclaiming the New Orleans Arena from those damned Hornets?  Lynah South in the Big Easy!

[Nate Oaks-Lee]

Maybe we could do what Michigan did and play it in the football stadium.  Then the athletic department could get what they always wanted...a Schoellkopf Sellout!

I've heard the petition also include the fact that Harvard wants all of their wins to be referred to "with honors"
