Josh Liston, Rudd Coffey and the rest of the U.C. gang, listen up: Forget Live. Forget putting on some rock concert. Wanna make the school rock?

Buy up a heap of tickets to the hockey playoffs, pass 'em out free, and watch what happens.

We'd fill the stands. We'd blow the opposition fans out the door. Cambridge police would be directing traffic to the game in riot gear. (It happened Tuesday night when the women's basketball championship was free.)

We could even get the "Angry Pilgrim" out there, running around the stands, raising Cain among Harvard's loudest.

(Well, okay, maybe that's taking things a little too far.)

Bottom line: make the game a school-wide happening. If we can get the school in a tizzy over the Harvard-Yale football game, surely we can stir a storm over a do-or-die hockey playoff at home.

So this evening, when you're searching for that study break from midterms, and you feel like the guy in that painting who's screaming his head off, go someplace where it's perfectly OK to let all the aggression out.

It'll probably be your last chance this year.
