I thought they did fine jobs on both nites...  are you sure you are
qualified to judge officials, especially with such a detailed and
fine-tuned rating system?   :-)

I think this whole incident is an embarassment to our school, especially
if someone did indeed spit on the coach.  Being spit on is about as
degrading as it gets, and spitting on someone is one of the lowest things
anyone can do.  I'm glad the coach didn't decide to retaliate, because,
given the stature of the average RPI student, Samaritan Hospital would
have had one extra patient from RPI that nite.

You actually LIKED this thing?  It was about the cheapest item I've ever
seen.  Everyone was complaining because after about 2 minutes of clapping,
the material started tearing.  I mean, it was free and all, so I don't
expect anything great, but geez, at least give us something that might
last beyond the first period.

Oh great, air-horns...   the Monica Seles of college hockey.

The new "cadet" stripper was Michelle Robinson.  Of course, everyone
on campus knows her as "Spunky".  She was great!

3b. "Kill the Bee!"  Thanks to Rich, this old cheer was brought back
    also.  In previous years, it was used when the Bee would come over to
    a section and start doing hand-raising things, while the action on
    the ice was more important.
