A couple years ago, some Dartmouth fans made a huge sign that said "What can Brown do for us? NOTHING!" to Brown Stadium for a football game. We proceeded to run up 56 points on them.

So if you want to kick-start the hockey team, I would suggest making a similar sign this weekend (please?).

UPS jokes get the team pumped up?

I've seen some quality insults hurled at Brown, but there are other ones that are just dumb and stupid. I guess the UPS jokes are just overkill at this point because its blatantly obvious. Ha ha - we get it already. brown...ups...yup. Gotcha. Same way with poop - a couple years ago, Cornell fans chanted "poop is brown." It wouldn't have been funny, except that like 150 people behind the Brown goalie in the student section were doing it. So large scale was kinda funny, but it was still ike "Yeah..okay..we get it. Hardy har har."

And probably a season later at Yale, members of the football team ran the concourse at the Yale Whale chanting "What's the color of s--t? BROWN". That was pretty stupid too since it was caught by the announcers microphones and broadcast over the game.

Unfortunately, and I don't direct this at anyone on this thread at all even though it's going to come across that way, any fan that feels the urge to dump all over an opponent instead of feverishly cheering for their team is a bad fan. Call me a stereotypical sportsmanship advertisement, but I can never endorse someone who rips on a school in a joking fashion. It's just not right.

You, sir, are getting way too worked up. It's all tongue-in-cheek.
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

I could see how 150 kids chanting "poop is brown" might be funny, but when one guy alone does it? Not so much. It's a little juvenile.


Anyway, good luck tonight! I'll be watching on B2. Hopefully I won't waste $8 like I did a couple of years ago for a playoff game we lost 7-1.
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

The SCSU B2 Network announcers kept complimenting Brown and saying that even though it was 5-1, we had played really well and this was a tough game.

That's a load of crap. We played pretty badly tonight. In fact, this may have been one of the worst performances of the season. I don't mean to take anything away from SCSU, who obviously played a great game, but they were certainly aided by our poor play.

My key example is Aaron Volpatti's 10 minute major in the 3rd. Aaron is an enforcer- he hits hard, he doesn't take crap from other players, and he stands up for his guys (which is why he's been Co-Captain for two years). But he rarely loses his temper like that, and he never does stupid things like pick a fight over nothing and then grab a guys face mask. This was a microcosm of the general lack of focus that the team had tonight. Even Clemente was off his game. He could have - nay, should have - stopped at least 2 of the goals (granted, the defensive coverage on all 5 goals was atrocious, but on a good day, Mike Clemente can make some of those saves).

Props to SCSU for coming out with intensity and a good game plan that really inhibited our ability to possess the puck and move it freely, which is our strength. But we can do better. And I hope we will tomorrow, or else that streak last month will look like a flash in the pan (which I hope it wasn't).

Ummm, I would have to agree with the announcers. SCSU was the more talented team, but for the better part of 2 periods they were outworked. Dunn made a couple of nice saves. Penalties hurt Brown
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

I thought the Huskies had the better of the play for the first and third periods, and Brown came out strong for the second period. Dunn played solid, and SCSU (with all new line combos and a good defenseman injured) won the game with better talent.

I would be surprised if SCSU didn't improve its play tomorrow night. So, if Brown did have "one of the worst performances of the season," then tomorrow's rematch should make for a good game.

Or, they get clobbered again.

And if the idiot that grabbed Chris Hepp's face mask has any brains at all, he really should be grabbing someone else's mask tomorrow night. He was lucky Hepp didn't get around the linesman because he would have packaged Volpatti's sorry behind and sent it back to the East.

Yeah Hepp isn't someone I would mess with..probably the second scariest player for SCSU, after Marvin of course!
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

Sorry, hockey talk here. What's this "EAG" marker? Is it an extra attacker on the ice? As in, there was a delayed penalty and the goal was scored prior to Brown getting their ugly jerseys on the puck?

Third Period:
Garrett Roe (Brett Barta, Ryan Lasch) EAG 12:24
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

Once again I agree with boomer. The Huskies had the better of the play in the first and third period and played like crap in the second. I don't know why this team has problems playing three good periods of hockey, but if they do that against good teams they get killed(i.e. the 2nd CC game).

As for the announcers. The SCSU radio guys always show the other team respect and I think that is classy. Other announcers for other teams in this state show very little class so I am glad they give the other credit even if they don't deserve it.:D I am not sure what the TV guys are like since I am always at the games.

Correct, there was a delayed penalty at the time.

Oh, don't get me wrong- they were very classy and gracious, and while they didn't call the best game ever, they certainly didn't dismiss Brown from the get-go and criticize SCSU for not winning by even more, which I have seen many announcers do. I just disagree that we played well. We definitely played hard, and it wasn't a lack of effort that killed us. But there is a difference between playing hard and playing well. Usually, we do both. Last night, we only did the former.
 
Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)

Brown was clearly the #2 team at the Hockey Center last night.
