The "V" Spot: Cornell Sucks

This column comes with a disclaimer: If you are on the Cornell men's hockey team, a coach, or are directly affiliated with the program in any way--STOP READING. That means you.

Coach Shafer, put down those scissors. This isn't to appear on any Big Red bulletin board.

However, if you are part of the hordes of Cornell fans preparing to descend upon fair Cambridge tomorrow, then take notes.

Every year Cornell takes advantage of Harvard's apathy towards athletics and fills up Bright Hockey Center with the most obnoxious spectators in the ECAC--effectively transforming the place into Lynah Rink East.

I'm sick and tired of writing about the disgraceful attitude of the Harvard student body towards its sports and the pathetic attempt of the Athletic Department and the H Club to rouse interest.

Instead, this piece is directed right at the Cornell cadre and says something that should have been said long ago. In the words of The Rock, "Know your role, and shut your mouth!"

I would rather listen to Marty's Ec 10 lectures on continuous loop for 24 hours straight than listen to them.

For a school which has a reputation for creative cheers, Cornell is on the steep decline. The only one I remember from last year's game went something like "Winning team! (point to Cornell players)--Losing team! (point to Harvard players)."
