(As a one-time English Major at Oswego I apologize for this former Oswego student's butchering of our native language.)

Re: Oswego vs Plattsburgh "The Whiteout game"
ColdInRomney...I thought I saw you around more on here? Did you change your screen name on here?
When you have to make a comment about typos and errors found in a long post you should think about the time you spent in doing so.
I was not responding to you at all and your just trying to dig into something between me an the WTOP Sports Director. I'll reiterate, I was not making fun of WTOP at all and I am sorry it came across like that.
By the way...what if English was not my native language? It is, but that is not the point in saying you would apologize for a former student's "butchering of our native language." Go bring that attitude to Hart Hall and see how many non native English language speakers there are.
I'll end it here because its just frustrating to me that an argument from some people have to turn into the numerous excuses people do either when they can not take something that shows they were wrong (stats) or any attempt to directly make fun of that poster.
I'm not a bad person...at least I didn't think so.

This was too easy to pass up....
Onondaga is an Iroquoian language of the Northeast Woodlands. Only about fifty Onondaga elders still speak the language fluently, most in Canada; but on both sides of the border there are young people working to keep their ancestral language alive.
Now THAT'S a native language in Oswego....

Your does not = you're, for instance.
I don't care if you're a native english speaker or not, but I expect educated people to graduate from my alma mater, and for them to act like such in public. Especially when you're not being timed, and can take however long you want to finalize your post.

Re: Oswego vs Plattsburgh "The Whiteout game"
OK this thread might close soon...or get more ridculous, so heres my 'better late than never' take on the Game...que the Clint Eastwood music..." The Good, Bad and the Ugly".......(waa waaa waaa) Please forgive If I repeat thoughts, I'll keep it short.
The Good-Huge Great Laker win amd my 1st time seeing Platty. Because of my proximity I can see only one game a year. It didn't disappoint! Great back and forth action, everything I expected from this talented matchup (I watched RIT the night before-another story) Gunn Taylor might as go into the Oswego HOF now for beating Platty twice. Overall I give the edge to the Lakers, they were better. Hats off to the student section, great spirit, chants etc. and they hung in the whole game. Pat yourselves on the back! The whole atmosphere was great. Met some very nice students and Platty fans in my Sec 53. Didn't catch any names but we shook hands before and after the game, joked on each other, really cool people. Gracious losers. Nice to meet you if you are on here. They wouldn't take my whiteout towel for some reason. Greene's (jabbar) hopspitality, thanks as always. Blessed with good weather, dry roads on the way home.
The Bad-they ran out of whiteout shirts. Had to buy another. Big scoring chances missed on both sides-PING (3x) for Platty and at least as many cans of corn for Oswego. The penalty shot for Wego? aaahh NO. The one the refs missed? YEP. The fire alarm didn't bother me because I didn't go out.
The Ugly-Oswego penalties in the 3rd period gave me ulcers. Rodriques spent the entire period in the box. Edge of seat time. We ended with 11 for 33---WHA? Platty too many men penalties. Kind of figured after the 1st one the refs were keeping an eye on you. From my seat I was too close to see your bench, so I dunno. I did see Emery plenty steamed.
I look forward to the playoffs, hope they are both in it. (Out of respect for Platty, no not really)

Not to mention the fact that he argues to show only male/female couples on the big board and then male/male couples. A terrific, non-contradictory argument if I've ever seen one.
And Glen, since you stopped going to games regularly in December of 07, I can tell you that they have put 2 guys on the kiss cam more than once or twice. I'm not claiming it's as much as 2 girls or a guy and a girl, but it has happened more often than you've seen it or seem to think it happens. Also, a bunch of the guys have had fun with it.
When you call into question the integrity of people who put on a great hockey broadcast, not to mention people you probably don't even know, yea, I'll call you out on it. Many of them are good friends and if it weren't for them, one of D-III's biggest rivalries wouldn't have been webcasted on Saturday.
Anyways back to hockey, I'm looking forward to the possibility of a 2nd Whiteout at the CC come March. If that happens, I intend to get up there (and hopefully see Oswego get their 3rd win in a season over Plattsburgh for the 1st time ever) as I have already laid claim to a student ticket. Can't wait.

I don't think they have 'student tickets' for the SUNYAC playoff games as even students have to buy tickets with money from their own pocket...

This is true, though they do allow student pricing, from this post:

Oswego beat Plattsburgh 3 times in 2002/2003 (3-1-1 against them that year).

Re: Oswego vs Plattsburgh "The Whiteout game"
The last three years the student pricing for Oswego was $3 for home SUNYAC playoff games.
In 2006, the final games at Romney it was $2 for each game against Plattsburgh.
In past years, Oswego has not bought a chunk of the student priced tickets for the students when schools like Fredonia, Geneseo, Plattsburgh have done it for their students.
Perhaps they will do that this year to help keep a strong student section because if they aren't playing Plattsburgh in the finals (and even if they are playing Plattsburgh in the finals) the student section has shown that it shows up at half to 3/4ths percent when the students have to pay for tickets.
Also Andrew,
If Oswego does end up playing Plattsburgh in the finals, I hope they don't do a whiteout again.
I think we need to keep that to one game and one weekend to help keep the novelty of the event and keep it special.
Personally I'd like to see the student section (maybe the 1% left if that, that know about the bagel tradition to sneak bagels in and toss them on the ice after/if Oswego wins the SUNYAC title)
That'd be my plan if I made it up there.
