View Full Version : Clarkson vs SLU Men & Women
So a double dip North Country Matchup this week with the SLU women coming to Cheel on Tuesday Knight and the SLU Men trecking over on Saturday Knight. Should be 2 evenly matched teams both Knights with the Clarkson Men and Women taking the earlier non- conference games against the Saints 2-1 OT and 3-2 respectively. I look for more of the same this week. Close, low scoring. LGT LGT LGT.

I've been looking forward to this week all year, both of these games should be good.
On another note I just wanted to say I'm a student at Clarkson and a couple of us students organized a Gold-Out for the student section. It would make it that much more impressive if we could get the rest of the crowd to wear gold to the game as well so anyone going please make the effort to do this and spreas the word. Lets beat SLU and make it a hostile environment for them (not that it ever isnt ;))!
LETS GO TECH!

Too bad most of the students interpret "Hostile" to mean "Vulgar, Obscene, Juvenile, and Inappropriate".
Some things you should never do at a hockey game:
1.) Chant "********" even if the call is (most of the time it isn't)
2.) Raise your middle finger and point it towards the ice (or anyone for that matter)
3.) Chant things that have been labeled as inappropriate by the school administration. Including, but not limited to "S-H-I-T that spells IVY!", "********", "I Smell Tuna", "Test Tube Goalie", etc...
3a.) Yell at the band for playing over chants listed above, the arena administration tells them they have to.
4.) Not wear green and gold.
5.) Utter the words "Shutout" when either Clarkson hasn't scored, or Clarkson is posting a shutout, its bad karma and retribution is generally swift and painful.
6.) Scream goalie heckles that contain obscenities. Goalies can easily ignore "Hey Goalie, F*** YOU!", it is much harder to ignore "Hey Petizian, I saw you cry on national TV... CRY BABY!"
7.) The ORGY chant. As harmless as it seems, President Collins and his wife don't like this chant and have asked that it be stopped. The Collins' are very supportive of the hockey program and this request should be respected.
8.)Leave early, no matter what the score is. The traffic in Potsdam after a game is not that bad, you'll be able to manage.
9.) Be "That Guy" who is belligerently drunk and an jerk.
10.) Forget that being a Clarksonian means you route for one of the most successful programs in the history of college hockey and you should act like it.
wow, that turning into more of a rant than I was expecting.

Thank God you weren't around for the days of the SBG. This stuff is tame compared to what he used to scream from the train whistle loft. If the administration REALLY cared about this, they would kick people out for going over the line. They don't do that. What they care about is making it look like they're trying.

Have Clarkson Hockey games become this "wussified"? I tend to believe that is you spend 30,000 on an education that you are entitled to let off some steam at a hockey game. Yes....I DO believe I read that somewhere. I graduated in 88, so I was able attend most of the games at Walker Arena. Unfortunately, that atmosphere did not follow over to Cheel Arena. How about we let college students act like college students.

In all seriousness, everyone who feels this way and is an alumni should WRITE A LETTER TO TONY COLLINS. The atmosphere of Cheel has been stifled to a painful memory of what it was just five years ago because of a desire for a "family atmosphere" or as I call it "catering to lazy parents." The administration gets complaint letters at least twice a year asking them to crack down on this stuff, but they never get letters supporting it. A little bit of "leave things alone already" perspective could go a long way.

I am not saying we need to roll out the red carpet for our opponents and treat them like honored guests, in fact I truely believe the exact opposite. Cheel should be slightly less comfortable for the opposing team as a solitary confinement cell at Sing-Sing.
However, I also feel that Clarkson students by in large are better than a wild group of truckers/bikers. Call the goalie a Sieve, tell the other team they suck, make all the sexual innuendos you want. A clever, witty, heckle is funnier than simply yelling "**** You". Any idiot can yell "**** you", separate yourselves from the herd of liberal arts majors in the ECAC by being creative. If Clarkson fans stop being creative, we're no better than Colgate, Union, and RPI who are about as creative as wheat bread.

Some things you should never do at a hockey game:
2.) Raise your middle finger and point it towards the ice, opposing players, referees (even though they may deserve it) or opposing fans
3.) Yell at the band for playing over certain chants, the arena administration tells them they have to.
4.) wear the colors of the opposing team.
5.) Utter the words "Shutout" when either Clarkson hasn't scored, or Clarkson is posting a shutout, its bad karma and retribution is generally swift and painful.
6.) Scream goalie heckles that contain obscenities. Goalies can easily ignore "Hey Goalie, F*** YOU!", it is much harder to ignore "Hey Petizian, I saw you cry on national TV... CRY BABY!"
8.)Leave early, no matter what the score is. The traffic in Potsdam after a game is not that bad, you'll be able to manage. This rule is to be ignored if it will prevent you from shouting obscenities or from violating rule #2
9.) Be "That Guy" who is belligerently drunk and a jerk, particularly if the only thing you are adding is more obscenities.

What is the orgy chant?
Give me an O! (O!)
Give me an R! (R!)
Give me a G! (G!)
Give me a Y! (Y!)
What does that spell? (ORGY!)
What does that mean? (TEAMWORK!)
LOUDER (TEAMWORK)
LOUDER (TEAMWORK)
etc.
The problem is sometimes the idiot leading it doesn't make the transition to "what does that mean" right away and has the crowd screaming ORGY repeatedly at the top of their lungs.
I agree with the banning profanity - we sat behind a woman with a ~7 year old one night at the rink at West Point, and she was F this, F that for about the first 10 minutes and we finally told her to shut up or get out, and she moved somewhere else - far away. Also attended the FF in Providence one year when NoDak played Wisco with about 6 NoDak fans in the building and 10,000 Wisc fans with the red getups and rubber chickens dangling from sticks - entire contingent would stand and pour down on the goalie - "it's all your fault," whenever he was unfortunate enough to let one in - NoDak did win IIRC, so the Wiso bunch were pretty quiet towards the end. Other things that really used to p me off are people taking their seats during play - wait for a stoppage, dummies, and those Ranger fans that used to dump beer on us from up top at the Hartford CC after a Whaler win - fortunately no alcohol at the NCAA contests until after the games. Walker fans were pretty clean in the old days, and we used to get away with playing 3 blind mice for a rotten ref call back then - probably not allowed today.

As a student, I feel like you are partially right. Yes it gets really annoying when all anyone does it yell F you or you F***ing suck over and over because its not creative at all. I do believe we should be allowed to use the ORGY chants and stuff of that nature. These really are harmless and even quite funny in my opinion and get the entire student section involved in the game.
Hopefully the Gold Out will bring the intensity to the rivalry that everyone says is missing since the move from walker. While I was never here for games at Walker, i can imagine how loud and intense they were in such a confined space. It has quite honestly gotten on my nerves how many empty seats I see at the games night in and night out. Just because we have gotten off to an up and down start doesnt mean people should just give up and stop coming to the games. The SLU game is the last home game for quite some time, especially for the students who will not be around for Minnesota. Lets fill the place up with Gold and show some support for the team one more time before winter break.

That is funny......I think college kids should be college kids. But I do agree that yelling F U isn't very clever ......and at Walker we thought "we beg to differ" was funnier than "bullsh*t"....but then again everyone thinks their college years were the best. Have fun.

I think a "We Beg To Differ" cheer once or twice would be pretty funny....

Here is hoping the women receive some support toknight. LGT
WHOOOO WHOOOO
The Clarkson women win their 2nd of the year from SLU
THE GOOD
Mulligan (2), Waldie and Gillanders (ENG) with the goals
Howe in the nets.
THE NOT SO GOOD
SLU had 4 golden chances on breakaways and open nets but shot wide or they could have won this one.
Lots of little mental errors that gave SLU chances
0 fer the Power Play
SLU was shorthanded due to illnesses

Holy crap, it shows that they only dressed 14 (non-goalies) for the game, including only 4 defense

Hey, a win is a win and I'll take it. SLU got one against us last year when our starting goalie was sick with the flu and an untested freshman had to start at Appleton. Injuries and Illness are part of the game.

Really, all this talk about "profanity". I only graduated 15 years ago and the band LED some of the more profane cheers. I'll agree that the "f you" chants are pretty unimaginable but beyond that, have at it. When we wanted to express our displeasure with a call, we would bring out the signs for "boat" and "ship". The "who's your father, referee" chant was pretty bad too.
I sure hope they don't ban the alternate verse to Cornell's alma mater.

High above Cayuga's waters
There's an awful smell
Some say it's Cayuga's waters
We say it's Cornell
High above Cayuga's waters
Through the gates of Hell
There's 10,000 SONS OF BITCHES
We call them Cornell
High above Cayuga's waters
Some poor bastard fell
Finals made him think of gorges
Jump for joy, Cornell!
High above Cayuga's waters
There's a praised goalie
When he lets the puck get by him
Blame his A.D.D.
The last verse is a little outdated, but refers to David McKee, former Cornell goalie and dyslexia/ADD sufferer.
