I want to throw my two cents worth in on this topic about being loud
and supporting for the Black Bears.  I totally agree with the idea that
people have to get more vocal during these games, but it's tough when
you want to get up and cheer and clap and just yell, and there is
somebody behind you saying "Hey sit down", that happened to a friend
and myself this past weekend.  It was a season ticket holder who sat
right behind my friend, she was so rude by saying that, she could have
asked politely, but no she had to get get an attitude instead.  Then
she has the nerve to give play by play comments throughout the whole
game, and that made me madder as the course of the game went on.  I
wanted to turn around and tell her to shut up, but I am a gentlemen and
held in my temper.  It just pissed me off when students try to show
some school spirit and you get told by "OLDER PEOPLE" to either sit
down, or they will give you the dirtiest look.  Sometimes it doens't
even seem worth putting up with all the crap to watch a simple hockey
game, in which I pay for.  I'm not saying that every person there is
rude, but there are many of them, and it ruins all the fun... People
need to learn to loosen up a little, and think about how they were when
they were in college rooting on their team.  Any comments??????
