Wow. This weekend’s hockey games against Boston College and Maine will be insane. We are very glad to see such amazing support even though it did screw us out of our regular section eight seats (we regularly sit in rows A and B). But something has come to our attention: there will be many students at this game who have yet to come to a game and some of those students were even lucky enough to get seats in sections seven or eight. While it is awesome to see so many new faces, we feel the need to go over some rules. These rules apply mostly to section eight but you may want to avoid breaking them in any part of the arena.
1. You may not talk on the phone or take photos unless it is intermission.
2. You must stand up if you’re in section eight, if there is less than one minute left in the period, or if there is a five-on-three power play.
3. If you sit in section eight you are not allowed to ask about basic rules (offsides, icing, etc.) You are allowed to not know them but you may not ask questions during the game.
4. You may not get so drunk that you risk vomiting on a fellow fan. While drinking is encouraged, being an ass to your fellow fans is not.
5. Unless you are under the age of 12, you must throw back any puck that goes in the stands during the game.
6. All ‘BC Sucks’ T-shirts should be bought from Klein.
7. If you want to make an attempt to become a figure of BU Hockey (e.g. Sasquatch) you get one shot if you are not beloved instantly, you must give up.
8. At no time is a ‘BC Sucks’ chant ever a bad idea, even at a Red Sox game.
9. Never wear anything expensive to a game (exception a BU Jersey). If you do and you get beer on it, don’t you dare come crying to us.
10. Any questionable call against BU is wrong and the referee is a moron.
11. Jack Parker is a God, and Jerry York is a horse’s ass.
12. Any fan of the opposing team is a loser once the game starts, even if you are sleeping with them. If they’re a BC fan, they always suck unless you are related. Hey, every family has its black sheep.
13. You may only throw objects on to the ice after a hat trick.
14. You must show up for the game on time. If you show up late, you seriously risk losing your seats. If a period has gone by you no longer have any claim to your seats.
15. We know that we are a-holes and we know that we are insane so don’t waste time telling us that.
OK, we hope every one has a great time this weekend. There should be an awesome student crowd. If we all show up early and on time and really make some noise, the Terriers will know how much we love them and BC and Maine will know how much we hate them. GO BU! BC sucks!
