YaneA Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Anyone see "American Psycho"? "INTO THAT WHOLE YALE THING" Patrick Bateman: He was into that whole Yale thing. Donald Kimball: Yale thing? Patrick Bateman: Yeah, Yale thing. Donald Kimball: What whole Yale thing? Patrick Bateman: Well, he was probably a closet homosexual who did a lot of cocaine. That whole Yale thing. Or, check out www.yale.edu/athletic/Showcase/Mhockey/dog_tags.htm There's some funny stuff about the players there that could be exploited by a ruthless student section like ours. I especially like the little known fact that goalie Peter Cohen's uncle invented the "Floby [i think that's spelled "Flowbee"] hair cutting tool."

kr Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 beating a dead (bull)dog RE: Thomas A Beckett, AD for Yale http://www.yale.edu/opa/ybc/v26.n16.news.04.html AD since 1994 -- known around campus as "Yale's Biggest Fan" -- has attended almost every event over a 4 year period --- (he has) professionalism, energy and devotion -------- is he related to the "Saint" Thomas Beckett?? Having heard the exchange over the radio last year, I'm still peeved. Here is the HEAD OF THE ATHLETIC DEPT of YALE, yes YALE, threatening to take outside a radio guy, while Matt Jones is laying on the ice -- truthfully the events or non-events don't matter -- never, never should the AD lose his/her head at a public event (especially to the extent that he calls someone outside for a fist-a-cuff). Did Roger Thomas try to take out the fans at NDSU when they verbally and physically harrassed the basketball staff? NO -- the situation was handled in a level headed manner and it was resolved. The Yale AD came across as an arrogant, unprofessional hack; don't deny it, it was broadcast across the state of ND & western MN. As someone employeed by an Ivy League school, his lack of professionalism at a public athletic event was truly amazing. And yes, because it is YALE there is a higher standard .... I honestly can't believe that there were no consequences for his words and actions. What if this had been a Boston College announcer that was called out? Would not a stink have been raised, resulting in some statement to the effect, "I regret that my words and actions may have reflected poorly on the fine reputation of the Yale Bulldog hockey team, staff and fans" ... etc ? Obviously, with no apology given/forthcoming, Mr. Beckett and the Yale organization didn't have the respect for the listening public to apologize for his unprofessionalism. (And it isn't as if he didn't know that he could be on a live broadcast -- the security guard wouldn't have him removed when Tim H. and/or Dan Benson requested his removal, because he (Beckett) had been in those seats for a long time.) If he flew off the handle listening to Tim H., how in the world does he handle other stressful events/press releases ? Bottom line is: he is a highly paid and touted professional, maybe he should remember that and make sure his words and actions are worthy of respect. "Yale AD: arrogant, ignorant, or both?"

CoteauRinkRat Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 It seems to me that this AD is the one who really needs to get the ribbing when they come to play. What can we think of to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 "Yale AD:Â arrogant, ignorant, or both?"Â Jeez, kr, and people think I hold a grudge. Can we talk about Ed Schultz now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 How 'bout this? We get a picture of Beckett and one of Hennessey and superimpose them on the bodies of boxers with gloves raised. Heading: "Tonight's Undercard" or "Grudge Match" or "I went to a Hockey Game & a Fight Broke Out." Or sumpin' like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed? I was talking about radio broadcasters, not a rambling radio rabblerouser(s)! I just think it's interesting that a broadcaster (i.e. whom Jerry York calls "Timmy") well known in hockey circles for over 20 years in the WCHA, HE, ECAC, CHA, you get the drift, is called out, but since it's done by a YALE guy he (YALE guy) doesn't get at least a little grief over that? Sertich's butt pat (or whatever it was) resulted in an apology, which was warranted -- it wasn't a good reflection on the school/team; just as the AD's harangue reflected poorly on his position.

Diggler Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I say you paste Hennessey's head on Ali and Beckett's head on Liston. Tim Hennessey, the greatest there ever will be! or Hennessey, bomaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Here's another idea: Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots with Hennessy's and the Yale AD's faces on them. Or do you have to be an old fart to get that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Anyone remeber the wobblies? Those little pear shaped figurines that you couldn't knock over? They made kiddie punching bags using that thing. Get those with the two faces on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaNorthStar Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Here's Mr. Classy himself--Beckett: I don't wanna know what he's doing with his left hand... See above conversation from American Psycho. Under Diggler's pic we could put: Lucky for Beckett, Hennesey didn't want to take it outside. We have a week and a half...so keep 'em coming.

YaneA Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Is there a way we can break up this thread so that that suggestions for the harassment of Yale that have already been posted here can appear under an appropriate topic title?
