Dear Greg,
 
        To echo RPI players, bandmembers, fans, and alums the world over
since the dawn of Division 1 hockey :
 
                We don't like you either.
 
        If you understood the sanctity of ice hockey at my institute, the
ruthlessness with which our loyalties are cherished, or the importance of
the Freakout in any engineer's February, you would have expected the
treatment you got Saturday night.  It was rude, yes.  But I won't apologize
for the band.
        They are frenzied, Greg.  They will honor your pansy (excuse me,
"ivy") notions of etiquette in YOUR arena.  But in the Fieldhouse, at the
Freakout, all they care about is being the biggest, the loudest, and winning.
If you don't like it, don't come.
        And to the person who responded to Greg's dissertation ("it's
hockey, not opera") : maybe where you come from, baby.
