and a burning desire to see the "you goon" cheer resuscitated before it's too late.
I don't blame the freshmen who misunderstood the cheer, (when I was a little kid I used to say “Scooby-do” instead of “Screw BU”) but I don’t believe they would say "you loose" if they knew they had it wrong because, well, it’s just lame.
So, can anyone help me come up with an idea that uses my tickets to achieve my goal?

[Q]o, can anyone help me come up with an idea that uses my tickets to achieve my goal?[/Q] How 'bout you sell the tickets to the highest bidder, send me the cash via Paypal adn then I'll try to psychically influence the crowd to say you goon
But seriously, I doubt there's much you could do. No good way to talk to enough fans to make a difference.

I have always though, and still think, at the beginning of each year, someone should place a sheet of paper on each seat with the words to the most common cheers so that all the fans start out on equal footing and they just have to learn when is the appropriate time to yell them.
Maybe we can give the bear this job?

yougoon,
I gave correcting the "you lose" cheer my best shot when I was a student, I wrote a column in the Sun that mentioned the cheer:
[www.cornelldailysun.com]
[Q]I've been informed by my sources in section D that some people are concluding the cheer for opponents' penalties with "you lose." This is far from correct, even if the other team is actually losing. The proper cheer goes, "Ahhh ... see ya (pause here, or insert epithet, depending on preference)! You goon!" The word is goon. Not lose. Please resume cheering.[/Q]
Now it turns out I'll be able to come up to Ithaca for the Harvard game. Any chance you'll feel like helping me out with Brown tickets?
