DO:
Take a picture with Roar-ee (our mascot).

Pregame any sporting event you attend. It’ll either help you manage the pain or make victory that much sweeter.

Mock any gingers on the opposing team. They’re asking for it.

Participate in any crowd-wide chants (“Let’s go Lions,” “air-ball,” etc.).

Take the fan bus to Baker instead of the subway. It’s free.

DON’T:
Leave before the game ends—you never know what you might miss.

Cheer for the other team.

Hesitate to chant “safety school” when we play Cornell.

Get mad if the people in front of you are standing. You’re supposed to do that at games.

Wait until you’re a senior to go to a sporting event. You’ll regret it.
