Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Yost - 16 years ago
The 300 dog-barking style cheer came from the fact that we were already doing a 300 cheer- "This is madness! THIS IS LYNAH!" And that cheer, good sirs, came from one Jesse "Cannibal," in Section A, from the Shake, one of Cornell's club Ultimate teams. We started doing that in Ultimate tourneys last spring break, after the team went to see 300 together in the theaters. Sby BMac - Hockey
Songs for Dartmouth - 16 years ago
OK, to the tune of Popeye, but very slow. Joe Grossman's a Great Big Sieve (clap-clap) The biggest who's ever lived His sieveness' so great DEvine, I must say! (need last line) I leave this with you, oh veteran hecklers, to come up with another line.by BMac - Hockey
Hockey Team Traditions - 16 years ago
I just ran into this article today And it made me wonder- I've never been into the locker room nor heard of this white "C" tradition, nor known about the "300" quote on the wall (I assume it's new). Are there any other team traditions that people know of?by BMac - Hockey
Re: "There's a hole in your sock, Joe Grossman" - 16 years ago
I've already made this known to the proper people (who may or may not exist), who said they will make sure that this doesn't happen next year. Thank goodness.by BMac - Hockey
Re: The Athletic Department and Cornell Hockey - 16 years ago
I can't disagree. There's no reason why there aren't AD organized buses to the away games. There's no reason why I should spend an unbelievable amount of time and energy at Lynah and feel like a criminal, then go to a Newman game for nearly free and be allowed more liberty. I understand why they charge what they do at Lynah- because they can. But it sucks, and at some point we have to say thatby BMac - Hockey
Re: "There's a hole in your sock, Joe Grossman" - 16 years ago
Oh, man, I'm so glad you got the hat back. I was feeling real guilty that I caused you to lose it. Thankfully, that girl came out and laid out all the hats on the bench. I'll certainly be wearing a hat during the whole Dartmouth series... and you can bet that we'll be using our brand new sign-making abilities to call out Mr. Grossman & Co.by BMac - Hockey
Re: "There's a hole in your sock, Joe Grossman" - 16 years ago
As this is senior night, and the three of us loud fellows in Section A responsible for happy birthday (LaJollaRed), hole in your sock (LaJollaRed), always look on the bright side of life (myself and Steve), "Cornell, Cornell" (myself, Steve and LaJollaRed), and many others I can't think of are seniors, thank you. I know I really appreciate it, and I'll bet they do too. The three of us sby BMac - Hockey

Re: Fish - 16 years ago
I was indeed the guy who stopped him on his way out... Honestly, I don't really care. I can deal with not swearing. I DO think the punishment is onerous, but you can't say we didn't have fair warning nowadays. However, the fish thing I think he's letting up on. At least, that's the way it seemed, though not exactly in a wink wink we won't check anyone nudge nudge way. Much more interestingby BMac - Hockey
Fish - 16 years ago
Hi guys, I just ran into Athletic Director Andy Noel (pronounced No L, not Nohl as I originally thought) and asked about the Fish Policy this season. He says that they will make a "good effort" to eliminate fish. They "won't frisk women or anything like that" nor try to take out every fish. Nothing unreasonable. Personally, I got the idea that he agrees that it's a tradiby BMac - Hockey
Re: Cornell 7 RPI 1 (postgame) - 16 years ago
This game was good. It seemed like everyone I talked to said "well, I'm here. Not because I'm excited for a Cornell hockey game. (bewildered face) I guess... I'm just here. Out of habit. They better f-ing win." And you know what? Every goal we scored, we got louder and meaner. And we sang happy birthday to the sieve, felt bad and sang "always look on the bright side of life,&quoby BMac - Hockey
Re: Union at Cornell post-game - 16 years ago
That game sucked. We would have been in second place with a win. They were dominating Union in the beginning, despite the ridiculous inept 5x3 for two whole minutes. Plus, their goalie had one of the more amusing nervous twitches we've seen in a while- he would tap each post back and forth, alternating. It looked like a dance, leading section A to sing the chicken dance song at him. Good fun.by BMac - Hockey
Re: Cornell 3 at Colgate 1 postgame thread - 16 years ago
Amazing game. Cornell controlled posession almost all game long and Scrivens was rock solid- this seemed kind of like an '04-05 game. WHOA! I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT! I'm very, very happy with this game. Many guys hurt, hostile rink, patience and focused, measured rage. Controlled win. Almost no dumb penalties, and an Iggulden-like 2-minutes-left goal with great patience. BTW, are ALL colby BMac - Hockey
Re: Hey Band! - 16 years ago
Hmm... are they still active? They're not listed on SAO as a registered organization. Does anyone know where I can find the full lyrics to My Old Cornell? Thanks, Bernardoby BMac - Hockey
Re: Hey Band! - 16 years ago
HeafDog, lovely suggestion. Although I've never been drunk for a game (and never will- I'm there for the game), a few shots before either game can (and did!) help us belt it out this weekend. LaJollaRed suggested that we sing it during play after every Cornell goal, and we followed that this weekend. By the second goal against Yale, we had pretty decent participation. Hopefully more and more pby BMac - Hockey
Re: Hey Band! - 16 years ago
Well, the one day I ask for them, we get time outs and an overtime- we didn't win, but we sure did get to belt them both out! Oh, My Old Cornell is my favorite too... who doesn't like it?by BMac - Hockey
Hey Band! - 16 years ago
Hey pep band! I don't know which screennames correspond to the pep band players/leader, but I wanted to ask you something: 1- Do you think you guys could get into the new chant described in the "soccer chant" thread? There's now 2 youtube clips posted with the melody, and the lyrics are at the top. If you guys got into it, I know the cheer would spread fast. Also, the drums can acby BMac - Hockey
Re: Soccer Chant - 16 years ago
Thanks to everyone for the support, particularly those of you who found youtube clips (perfect!) and imafrshmn for his suggestion. We're just going to keep trying. I'm not going to print out quartercards or anything, but if enough people in section A get with the program (OR THE BAND!!!!) then we'd have it down pretty fast. In fact, I'll post this right now as a new topic to get the band's attby BMac - Hockey
Re: Tech 4 Cornell 2 (Post-Game Thread) - 16 years ago
I'm surprised nobody's said this, but TOPHER! Good God! He's the true Clarkson-killer. He wanted to tie the game all by himself (and nearly did).by BMac - Hockey
Re: Soccer Chant - 16 years ago
YES! It is my darling clementine! Perfect! I hadn't read all the responses before the game, or we would have tried it. Ok, this is happening now. This is excellent!by BMac - Hockey
Re: Soccer Chant - 16 years ago
The chant is copied from a soccer chant I heard at a Real Madrid home game over winter break. Unfortunately, try as I might I can't find a video or audio clip of it happening. The words are mine, LaJollaRed's, and our friend Steve's. We still think it's too positive, but we're no good at lyric writing. It's the sort of chant that comes very easily once you hear it once, though, and doesn't neeby BMac - Hockey
Soccer Chant - 16 years ago
In response to the questions on the lyrics of the soccer style chant we're trying to adopt in section A: Cornell x5 When you come to play at Lynah Then we'll give your goalies hell! You can listen to the tune.by BMac - Hockey
Re: UMass 0 at Cornell 0 (Friday) postgame - 16 years ago
I won't repeat what everyone's been saying- clearly, we agree it was a great game. Patrick Kennedy is a very good stickhandler, which I hadn't realized before. Too bad he doesn't pass, too. The Riley-Barlow-Greening line was awesome, especially early on. Sawada needs to throw his weight around. Nobody else is big enough and willing to do it. We've got to have some senior leadership fromby BMac - Hockey
Silver lining from sucks game - 16 years ago
For those of you who missed the USCHO recap, we were given an almost incredible new bit of ammo. And I quote, from the last paragraph: "Ted Donato skipped the postgame interviews in order to attend his induction into the Massachusetts Italian-American Hall of Fame." Thank you. Thank you very much.by BMac - Hockey

Re: Cornell 5, Quinnipiac 3 (postgame) - 16 years ago
Chris Fontas needs a mention as well. He battled two guys in a corner (near A) for 2 minutes straight before getting it off to our guys, resulting in that goal. Awesome, awesome effort.by BMac - Hockey

Re: Sawada interview in the Sun - 16 years ago
I don't understand why we can't just go "Hey....hey, Ray Ray!" He'd appreciate it. We'd like it. He does kill people. It makes PERFECT sense. Besides, who's Bâby? PS Yes, I'm a current senior. From reading the forum I know who he is, but no reason not to update the cheer.by BMac - Hockey
Re: Ottawa Postgame - 16 years ago
Eh, they did the same thing at the beginning of last season- LaJolla and I have sat in A for the last 3 years, and they ask us to not focus on anyone in particular. A few weekends in they stop caring. It's an important part of our game- "I hate you, Wainegarth! I hate yoooooou!" etc.by BMac - Hockey
