Ideas for Signs?

Anyone have some good sign slogans for this weekend? I liked the "Got Honors?" that someone posted...

Some war related ones that I've heard, "Terror Level: Red" and I'd need a big sign but, "Doug Murray: A Weapon of Mass Destruction" Not sure if those would be cool, probably not, but they gave me a chuckle before Bush put his mug on TV last night.

How about:

Bush Transcript:

Andover Prep: C
Yale: C
Harvard Business School: A+


That says it all right there (on a number of different levels)

"Got Honors" was my post and I would love it if someone else could do it. My own schedule this week and travel plans would probably require me to make it in the parking lot of a Staples in Albany.

Done

There's always the old tried and true MasterCard ad spinoff, something like this:

All-session tickets: $40
Hotel room: $xx*
Between-games arena hot dog and soda: $8
A tenth ECAC title: priceless!

* variable according to taste/needs

And if you wish to be even tackier, you can go with this for the championship game:

On YES: "NHL Cool Shots" is next
On NESN: Bruins-Kings is next

I post these suggestions primarily as a warning - so we hopefully don't see anything this dumb in the arena.

Terror Level Red is great!!!!

"Threat Level" is a probably a little more tasteful.

Murray Hint: you can say *anything* you want in Swedish and not get in trouble.

Ugh. More like tired and unoriginal. I've seen so many "Priceless" signs at every sporting event imaginable that it's ruined that whole ad campaign for me. I would hope that the Faithful could come up with something that hasn't been done about 8 million times.

A few suggestions. And, granted, some might be better as cheers and others might not be good at all.

All weekend:

"Welcome To The Ivy League Championships"

"Cornell: Albany tested, Buffalo approved"

"Welcome To Lynah--Capital District"

For Brown:

"We're painting the brown red" (Capitalize 'B' if you choose)

"Hey Brown, how many of these have you won?" (picture of champ trophy)

"You skate like a pep band"

"Pass (arrow pointing to Cornell side), Fail (arrow pointing to Brown side)

For Dartmouth:

"Not this time"

"It's not easy being Green"

For Harvard:

"A team full of Moor-ons"

"Man boobs scare us" (anyone near the harvard section at Bright gets this)

"Aaron Kim made your varsity team"

"We didn't apply because your hockey team SUCKS"

I thought "You skate like a Pep Band" was laugh out loud funny for Brown.

Pass/Fail wasn't bad either

The one about Aaron Kim got me. All you have to do is look at him the wrong way and he'll fall. He's been my favorite Harvard player for years!

I liked the sign in the townie section at Lynah that said "Beware of Doug" but I agree with Beeeej that it would be a lot better as, "Beware of the Doug."

Would a "Placid South" poster be inappropriate???

John, totally agree on Aaron Kim. After Peter Capouch (Capouch is an elf!) graduated, had to turn my attention to Aaron Kim.

On a not-entirely-related note, does anyone know if there's a Canadian flag in the Pepsi? Wouldn't mind lugging one less thing around...

i have one i can take ... since it'd be easier and i don't have to pack mine!!!

i believe that pepsi has a flag but can take mine just in case.

I bet mine's bigger than yours

It comes with me on all the trips, so it's not that big a deal.

[Q]On a not-entirely-related note, does anyone know if there's a Canadian flag in the Pepsi? Wouldn't mind lugging one less thing around...[/Q]
There's gotta be. There are Canadian teams in the AHL for the Albany River Rats to play. There are Canadian teams in the NLL with the Albany Attack. None in the af2 though. Feel free to bring another one though .

i hope it is bigger.

mine isn't good enough? FINE! be that way!

so i was thinking about playing off the new molson beer commercials:

"Moulson: the skate, pass, check, score your way to an ECAC championship original lager"

or maybe something shorter

i always like the "around the bowl and down the bowl go brown go" or the alternative that i can never remember. i want to make the moulson one but it will be a long one...

Hmmm. definitely on the long side and perhaps a bit disturbing but staring at my rotavap all day has me in a weird mindframe

"If it's brown, flush it down.
If it's green, wipe it clean.
If it's crimson, humph.... Welcome to womanhood!"

There were some people at the Harvard game in Boston with shirts that said (on the back)

"Give me an A+"
"Give me another A+"
"Welcome to Harvard"

I didn't see that. Did anybody else? No? Good.

Or maybe its better as a cheer...
Give me an A
A..
Give me another A
A...
Give me another A
A..
Give me another A
A..
Give me another A
A

Whats that Spell ?
HARVARD !
Whats that Spell ?
HARVARD !

[q]"Welcome To Lynah--Capital District"[/q]

In an earlier thread, we agreed that the Pepsi Arena should be referred to as the Capital Lynah. (I personally like the Lynah Middle-East, but that may be too esoteric and un-PC these days...)

First of all, this game against Brown has me nervous. Remember what happened the last time Cornell played Brown the night before a Harvard matchup. So I want to focus on Brown.

Something that is a play on those annoying UPS ads, "What can Brown do for you?".

How about "Hide skidmarks on my undershorts". I'm just thinking out loud here.

Wow, that's... uhh... I dunno if that'd go over so well. Too bad, because it's funny.

not to mention get someone arrested

Another variation on the hackneyed MasterCard:

UVM Hockey Scholarship: $21,748
Clarkson Hockey Scholarship: $22,235
SLU Hockey Scholarship: $26,280
RPI Hockey Scholarship: $26,400

Actually making it to Albany: Priceless!

(Yes, those are the current tuition prices, out-of-state for UVM)

I personally liked the sign in section E at the last game "Only God saves more than LeNeveu"

That sounds like a variation on the ol' "Jesus saves.... but Esposito scores on the rebound!"

(I have also seen it with Gretzky, and in a bathroom stall in Uris Hall, Nieuwendyk).

Actually, I've seen "Only Jesus saves more than Bernie Parent".

Guess I'm dating myself as much as the "Esposito" remark did for CUlater '89.

I feel an irresistable urge to say Orest Kindrachuk.

I was thinking of something perverse for friday along the lines of "Danis just loves the taste (juicy flavor?) of Big Red".

Greg said: "...You can say *anything* you want in Swedish and not get in trouble."

As a Swedish speaker, I hearby volunteer to translate any Murray-related messages from English should anybody want to make a banner in his native tongue.

[It doesn't always work: For example, I don't think you can translate Adam Brown's idea. To my knowledge, Swedish doesn't have an idiomatic expression analogous to "Weapons of Mass Destruction."]

The slogan's "Longer with Big Red" - gotta be able to do something with that. :-{)}

i love lynah middle east. i make a sign for every game in sect a, so i'll take that one

ps, glad u like the gimme an a

I think there should be as many Canadian flags as possible brought into The Arena Formerly Known as Knickerbocker. Do they let you hang things from the upper deck like at Placid, or do you have to just hold them up?
