Title: New Sign Ideas?
Post by: O.S.B. on November 28, 2003, 11:43:49 PM
I need some new catchy one-liners for the visitors box, we're running out of ideas, so a little help would be appreciated.  There's a loss of words for us, as you could tell that we double-used "Dork" ( though it had no authorization through the head sign boy) and the less than performing "Hobo" and "Fatbat"

For tomorrow night at least, go with the obvious choice: "Mercy Hurts".

It's too bad that Mercyhurst's P.J. Hiscock graduated last year ::rock:: ... though that may be a bit much for kids' signs.

Mercyhurst is the "Lakers."

Their #1 goalie is Andy Franck, the backup is Jordan Wakefield.

Their leading scorer is David Wrigley.  They have a wing named Scott Champagne.  And another named Jon Asselstine.

My former boss tried unsuccessfully to jump-start the Physics program at Mercyhurst before moving to Brownsville and getting UTB's going gangbusters.  He took over teaching Astronomy from a nun.

living in north jersey hasn't afforded me the option of seeing these signs (they sound great!), but what about just having weird signs like "i'm wearing eyeliner", "i like glam rock" or "i'm afraid of the dark" like thought bubbles behind the players' heads?  or, the simple, canadian favorite, "hoser."
maybe i'm missing the point, or maybe i have a weird sense of humor, but stuff like that would be pretty entertaining.

they also need to be catchy one-liners

For Brown:
"Pass? Fail!" (or "Satisfactory? No credit!" in Brown lingo)
"State Envy" ::banana::

Harvard:
"A+ for everyone!" (or a variation on that theme)
"Chum" (with arrows pointing at their bench...get it?)

Weird signs are also welcome.

I second "A+ for everyone," although Harvard might deserve something nastier...

where were the signs at the 'hurst game this weekend?

brown
blow up a nice picture of a toilet bowl +- fishing pole turd  ::nut::

hahvahd -  "brighton will be REDder" or something that likens (lichens? ;)) lynah east with lynah west - "lynah east will sound like this" or something

Title: Re: New Sign Ideas?

Some sign suggestions....

for Brown:

"Dirty Jerseys" or "Fell in Mud" with an arrow pointing to any player (they have ugly brown jerseys, you see). Or you could just go with "Ugly color"


for Harvard:

"Smells like Fish" with an arrow pointing to anyone, preferably to Coach Mazzelini. Might be funny.

or...someone I know suggested this one, and it would probably get a loud cheer from the crowd...."Remember Paolini?" (referring to last year's championship game, of course).

OR...."Lost to Princeton"

"Remember Paolini?" and "smells like fish" are keepers, and the former will definitely spur on the crowd.

on harvard:

i think it's worthwhile to remind morris how much he chokes when the game is on the line. what were they, 0-7 last year against ranked teams? i am going to bring up mcrae and paolini alot, and both names are good to put on signs. harvard also lost to clarkson in a 3-0 blanking on saturday.

on brown:
(despite the true pronounciation) danis is heinous

If the Cornell Smoking Team hadn't already graduated (::laugh:: riiiiight) I'd assume that was one of theirs.

(A chant, not a sign idea, obviously....) A taunting chorus of a prolonged "Daaaaaaaaaaynus, Daaaaaaaaaaaynus"

Along the same lines, but opposite:

"I wish Cornell recruited me."

And we didn't even have to come up with this:

"Boston is a boutique city, racist, class-whipped, whose primary legacy is the invention of arrogance, at Harvard."

I'm sure you can do something with that.

Granted, it's from Writer's Bloc on ESPN Page 2, but I like that "invention of arrogance" line.

Here's the article it came from: http://msn.espn.go.com/page2/s/bloc/031201.html

For Brown, what about making a connection to UPS?  Something like "Sponsered by UPS" or "Brown makes me UPS Truck".  Or, if you prefer to get more vulgar, "My sweater matches my skivvies"

yes it can be in a little thought bubble - that would be quite amusing

Post by: crodger1 on December 02, 2003, 11:39:25 AM
What can Brown do for you?
DIE
DROP DEAD
GO HOME


For Harvard, I suggest (using an arrow to point to our favorite head coach) "Mazz The Spaz"

I claimed that motto minutes after UPS came up with it...now you're just insulting me!  You and me.  Mono et mono.  Flame war, 11:00pm tonight.  ;-)

I love these sign idea threads--reminds me of the playoff run from last year!
