Cornell Fans are Douches

The ECAC Finals were in town today. I wasn't goin'...I was supposed to be in Vegas today on business and plus, Clarkson sucked this year anyway :( So, pass...

Anyway, last minute, MPH finds some free tickets and clues me in. So the wife and I pack up the baby and head to the games. The consolation game between SLU and Princeton was mostly dull. After that, the two old bitties, whose seats we were in, insisted we could move so they could have their seats for the game. They had said we could stay, conditional on us not rooting for Yale, which was the first clue to douchyness but whatever...they were the rightful owner of the seats. So we pack up the baby and abandon our friends for our proper seats.

Just before the big game is gonna start, I head down to the restroom. On the way back, I decide to check back near MPH and see if any seats have opened up. Nope. Instead, the entire area...indeed half the arena...is a sea of red shirts. Cornell fans have taken over. As I am standing their looking at this, they are announcing the Cornell starters and they are cheering. So, they get ready to annonce the Yale starters and all the Cornell fans hold up newspapers and began screaming and shaking them in front of their face...ostensibly because they would rather read the paper than hear the starters. They were so loud that I literally could not hear the name of the starters. It was then that I mentally labelled them douches and decided I would rather not sit wit them.

I get back to the seats in time to grab the baby for the Star Spangled Banner. During which, the Cornell douches yell "RED!" during "...rocket's red glare..." Lame. Annoying. Douchy. After that, we sit and the game is getting going. Now the Cornell douches begin some complicated chant lead by their hyper-lame pep band. You can't make out the words, but it ends with them shouting "Sieve! Sieve!" over and over at the Yale goalie. Now, not only are they Douches. Not only do I hate them. But I am now actively rooting for Yale. Which doesn't mean as much as if I were drunk (just ask the 2006 Colorado Rockies) but still.

So, I cheer for Yale the whole game. Which, is a blast, because Yale proceeds to beat the ever loving crap out of Cornell. Which is the best way to answer the idiotic fans. Oh yeah, and that "Sieve!" was absolutely amazing...Not allowing a single goal in 27 shots. And playing some amazing defense. By the end, Cornell had pulled their goalie on a power play to do a 6 on 4 and they still couldn't score. With 4 minutes left, I was chanting "Mercy Rule! Mercy Rule!" :) And, in the end, the Cornell fans were quitely filing out, nothing to say...

So, in review...got some free tickets (Thanks, MPH!) and Cornell fans are Douches.

The End.
