creative welcome for us under-18 team

three years ago, i remember a senior in section B collected mass amounts of porn and empty cigarette boxes to welcome the us under 18 team. i was hoping that we could revive the tradition.

i know it's a while from now, but it takes a while to gather up hundreds of cigarette packs, and i don't know anyone who smokes. if anyone is interested, and if you think it's funny, could you put aside your cigarette boxes? we can disperse them, along with the porn, a little while before the first exhibition game of the season, against these "little kids."

additionally, our group of 40-50 is going to stock up on porn for the game. i advise you all to do the same! it works way better than newspapers for this particular opponent (if you don't understand why, think about the age for a second.) if people want some, come by our seats on the aisle in section A. if you wanna help out, pickup a magazine and hold on to it for the next month!

I'm not going to share my porn with the little kids. I need that for myself.

I suggest everybody collect all that bulk junk political mail that will be sent out for the November local elections. A little more subtle than porn.

harder to see from a distance

a section waving voting pamphlets- typical ivy. a section waving hustler centerfolds? now we're talking

Mike, great idea. Just for clarification, you'll be throwing the packs and porn on the ice ala the newspaper right?

that's my thought. i would hope we wouldnt be yelled at for that. i mean we can throw newspaper anyway, and porn isnt much different. but you never know with the whole "family atmosphere" bs recently. 3 years ago when we did this, they didnt throw anyone out, and it was an exhibition game not included in the ticket package, so there were alot more families. then again, they didn't use to toss you for "fuck em up, fuck em up, go CU" and now they'll mace you for standing in G.

As if the ~70% of NCAA hockey players from Canada can vote (in the US), either!

we can also think of some cheers too...or should those be thought of at lynah?

I would hope that we Cornellians had a little more class than this. paper is fine, porn is a really stupid idea. It's only an exhibition after all. We should portray our image to these kids as being at least a little bit more representative of who we are.. a classy program - not fans who stoop to anything

I sort of thought that for all of about 45 seconds the last time they came. Right off the bat, they started playing very chippy, very dirty hockey, and it only got worse the further behind they fell. Hitting After the Whitsle, Elbowing, Roughing x 2 in the box score only tells part of the story. Bascially they came across as a bunch of little asshole dirtbags, so as far as I'm concerned they deserve whatever we can dish out. Yes, I know none of those players are still on the team, but until I see otherwise, I'll assume little has changed. My USA Hockey jersey will not be seeing the light of day on October 25.

IIRC, we weren't getting much help from the referee until he swallowed his whistles. If you were there you may remember the instance when Steve white-washed one them in the section O corner well behind the play. . .no call, a nice gesture by Mr. Referee.

don't forget! bring your porn (and cigarette boxes!)

also does anyone have a roster for the under-18 team? i can't find one anywhere online.

I couldn't find a roster either, though you can figure out at least some of the players' names by looking through some box scores.

#17 Kevin Swallow

Oh, that poor bastard.

Do these guys not wear names on the back? I didn't get the the Under 18 game a couple years ago.

They do. (At least, did 2 years ago).

something of note is that they beat sacred heart in OT the other day

red and white game was fun but i am ready for some action this weekend

so is this too crude for lynah now a days? "hey kevin, your mom really lives up to her last name"

Don't insult the guy's Mom... there's lots of things you can do with Swallows without mentioning her. Just my opinion...

I think any and all comments about his mother are fair game. If you could work that sort of insult into the telephone cheer...that'd be genious.

hey (goalie), #17 called, he said (you suck).
no, he said you swallow.

keith i was joking but it is a funny idea.
we could always point to the goalie and say:
"sucks"
then point at kevin and say
"swallow"
and go back and forth

You were joking? Is that why you put a "" after your post? I'm so used to the colorful, animated smileys here I think I missed it until a minute ago

Your "Sucks-Swallow" suggestion is perfect.

Just a reminder that a lot of these kids end up playing college hockey. Maybe Cornell would like to have some of them come play here. A good humorous Lynah welcome seems in order, but showing a little class may be helpful if the coaches are recruiting some of these players.

"Hey Swallow, your mother called, she said...you suck!"

"Hey Swallow, your boyfriend called, he said...you're named right!"

Well, for as good as he may be, do we really want a guy named Swallow? I mean, that's just asking for ridicule from the other team's fans. Then again, we got by okay for four years with a guy named Bâby...

gimme a break. saying swallow with a hint of a sexual nature surely has to be something that this kid has endured his whole life. i doubt that a little fun with the name is going to scare kids away from cornell. i always love when people use the word "class" also. what is class? if class is what history tells us classy people from this country have done in the past, then by all means do not call me classy

ok off of that podium now, i think a little fun is not out of the question. i do think that we should stay away from the boyfriend cheer since that is one of the banned cheers

banned cheers?!? say it ain't so! What have they banned?

I don't know if any are 'banned' per se, but the language has been 'officially' changed for certain key cheers, like "Rough 'em up, rough 'em up, go CU" instead of "F--k 'em up" and "See ya, you goon!" without the "a--hole".

Personally, I always thought "your boyfriend called!" was kinda stupid anyway. The telephone cheer works better with an ever-changing third line, like "the guy that puts your mom out on the street every night called!"

"all six of your jerk fans called..."
sorry, can't let that one go

[Insert a "Cornell only recruits Canadians joke"] so why does it matter?

Ahh yes...Big Ben's ever changing telephone cheers will be missed.

At the @Princeton game last season I got a good chuckle out of the "The Ghost of Hobey Baker called..." variant.
