hmmm....

We really need some creative cheers against Gartman for the Michigan/Minnesota game.

Good goalie, bad goalie, cut goalie.

Hey Gartman,
Your coach called.
He said...

YOU'RE CUT

or

Hey Gartman,
OUR coach called.
He said...

YOU SUCK!!

Sieve.

3rd string sieve.

Or maybe: Still a back-up, Clap-clap Clap-Clap-clap, Still a back-up, Clap-clap Clap-Clap-clap, Still a back-up, Clap-clap Clap-Clap-clap. . .!!!

Do we? We normally cheer former Cornellians who've ended up with other teams (e.g., Casey Jones), and I know in Bern the only opposing players who got cheers were former SCB guys. I realize a guy transferring in the middle of college is unusual, but this seems like a pretty benign situation (as opposed to that Yale guy who went back to UNH), and I don't see why we should treat someone who was once one of our own with hostility.

OTOH, I think "We Want Gartman" either in the Minnesota-Michigan game or if we light up Montoya (please please please), would be great.

Yeah.. I was wondering that too.. As a faithful, I just can't get myself to cheer against a former Big Red. Even if there was a rift.

I agree. Why the heck would we taunt him?

There are more important people to harass.

We want the Big Red Bear to beat up on Wildcats and Gophers or Wolverines. And speaking of the Bear. Do you think the Skating Bear will bring his female partner? It is the end of the season, after all and a short trip to Buffalo.

We want Gartman! That's definitely the one to use....

Yeah, and it's still cold in Buffalo dens.

I dunno. Maybe I'm in the minority but I think a lot of the possibilities posted here were clever and funny and I would have no problem hearing them and cheering along. Maybe I'm just a jerk but I kinda see Gartman as a traitor. There are a handful of guys that have been riding the bench for years and still talk about supporting the team. Are they disaapointed they aren't playing? Sure, but they have stuck it out and still adhere to the team philosophy. I know Gartman isn't a horrible person and I understand why he left. I even feel bad that things haven't faired any better for him with Michigan. All that said tho, he ultimately made the decision to leave and must have known that he risked the chance of coming against the Lynah faithful. Thus, in my personal persepctive everything is fair game.

Well, the way I see it, Gartman seems to view beating Cornell as something extra special.

If he is out for vengeance, then I don't see why we shouldn't show him the wrath of the faithful.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

I do think that the "We Want Gartman" cheer can be used either to taunt or support Chris, so maybe that is the default cheer.

It may be a short trip to Buffalo, but according to the championships handbook, the NCAA limits teams to one mascot - at least, one mascot to be admitted under credentials. Theoretically, a team might be able to bring another if (s)he were to pay his/her way in, but I can't see Cornell sanctioning that.

The NCAA regs also allow for cheerleaders. How about one cheerleader with a bearskin cheerleading uniform?

Hey Gartman, Underhill called, HE SAID....YOU SUCK!

Hey Gartman, Coach Schafer called, HE SAID...YOU SUCK!

Hey Gartman, Coach Berenson called, HE SAID...YOU STILL SUCK! YOU STILL SUCK!

After seeing the cheerleaders (male and female) from Ohio State, I hope Cornell NEVER sends cheerleaders to a hockey game.

I recall Age loved the Ohio State cheerleaders.

I thought they were rather silly, but had nothing in particular against them. Their walking browneye, on the other hand...

As for Gartman, I was in the "give him crap" camp before this article. Now I'm definitely out for blood.

Grea-sy mul-let (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)

Hmmmm... After reading this whole thread, I'm wondering if I need to get a new jersey, since I've got one of Gartman's old ones!!!

You could just change "Gartman" to "Marr"

Well, there's no name on the back, so technically I could put "Elliott" on it, since Jason wore #30 as well...

I've been warned, however, that putting somebody's name on somebody else'e jersey is an evil thing to do, so I think I'll just let it remain nameless for now...

"Hey Gartman, the Plaza called, they need a new doorman!"

Sort of like re-christening a ship? I've not heard of a superstition along these lines, but I'd be in favor of it. My Oates jersey really was Oates's.

In general, I'm completely all for authenticity. But if the guy's an ass who would probably ride the pine in pickup hockey, I could let it slide.

hmmmm, think another player made Age's sh*t list? Remind me never to aggravate you, Age.
