Sorry Nate, but I have been at nearly every Cornell home hockey game since Lynah Rink was built (1957), and am saddened by the way things have degener- ated. As mentioned earlier, the gross language reflects societal change which we can argue until the cows (sheep?) come home. However, when "fans" disrupt the game itself, that is simply going too far. When the Cornell team Captain has to get on the public address system and literally beg the Cornell "fans" to stop throwing things onto the ice, and the "fans" ignore his pleas and continue their actions, causing delay-of-game penalties to be called against their own team, I submit that THAT is the ridiculous situation. Bye- the-way Nate, in an earlier posting, you took "credit" for starting the "trad- ition" of standing until Cornell scores its first goal. That has evolved into the practice of not sitting down AT ALL, for the duration of the game. There have been several letters from STUDENTS to the Daily Sun asking their peers to sit down because they can't see anything! Are you SURE you want to claim credit for this "tradition"?? If so, fine; but you might consider (as an alumnus who obviously cares a lot about Cornell Hockey), writing a letter to The Sun explaining how the tradition you started has gotten a bit out of hand, and that it's time to put things back... But then, we can't ever go "back", can we. Take Care, George.
