Reader Email: Lobster Explained

Whatup New Hampshirite??

My names (blank) and I'm one of the fish guys. I was the one that threw the much talked about lobster at the game on Sunday night, and I thought I should offer an explanation. The fish market that usually donates the fish to us was closed on sunday, and as the game approached we were scrambling to find a fish to throw. We literally called 20 different grocery stores and fish markets around both Durham and Manchester to no avail, so we had to go to Hannafords at 630 and grab the next best thing, a lobster. Not our choice, but the best we could do. You should have seen the guys at the Verizon center when they searched our bag and found a lobster...never have i seen so many people be so confused; we had to wait at the entrance for 15 minutes while they made sure we were okay to bring the lobster in, we had a crowd of verizon center management around us and it was hilarious. That is hopefully the last time we throw a lobster, and I guarantee that for the first game next year youll see us at the whit with a big, smelly fish like usual.

staying classy and DEFINITELY not umassy-

Ask and you shall receive. Not everything always goes to plan, but I'm glad to hear the real explanation about that mystery lobster. UNH's season is over and it is time to move on. Looking forward to big, smelly fish next season. Wildcat Blood.

Stay classy, not UMassy.

That Sucked.

And so ends another UNH hockey season. I just wrote a full reaction of the game and season and life as a UNH fan for my TNH column so you'll have to wait for Tuesday for that... For now, I guess I'm just going to say: Fuck that lobster. You don't mess with tradition with a trip to the Frozen Four on the line!

In all seriousness, that was a memorable season that ended in such a similar fashion to almost every UNH season I can remember. It hurt, but we must move on. The Red Sox eventually won a World Series and UNH will eventually win a national championship.

 Thanks to the team, my fellow student fans and most of all the senior class. They have represented UNH so well over the last four years. But again, my full reaction will be up on Tuesday.

Stay classy, not UMassy.
