But one thing I noticed when I attended my first RPI/Cornell game is that the Cornell fans shout 'RED' during the part of the National Anthem (... and the rockets RED glare ...). I found this to be rather annoying at first, but then I thought, "hey... they're just singing loud" and thats okay. Anyway, when I went to my first RPI game this season (not against Cornell), there was a small portion of the RPI crowd that did the same thing. On a related note, I have heard RPI fans cheer "Let's Go White" during home RPI/Cornell games to avoid the confusion, I guess. And finally, someone made a post stating that Clarkson fans are usually much louder than the opposing teams fans. I would not agree with that at all, especially since they moved into Cheel. I have attended three or four games there now and each time the small section of opposing teams fans were generally more active and louder throughout the whole game (with the exception of when Clarkson scored a goal of course). And a couple of those games were not against RPI. I must say that before Cheel arena (I forget the name of the old rink down the road), Clarkson was one of the craziest and most intimidating places to watch a game. Anyone else notice this as well?
