I know this has been part of a few threads below, but I'd like to start an informal contest to come up with whitty sign ideas for tomorrow night. I'm on the glass in G, and will honor the best sign idea by using the the sign for at least one game.
Suggestions that don't necessarily revolve around STDs would also be appreciated.
"Lightning doesn't strike twice"
"Clarkson, where the men are men, and the sheep are scared"
"Clarkson Sucks, on there mothers"
"Traylen always does his best work on his knees"
"Latullip is cheap, but traylen is cheaper"
"Clarkson, turning hundreds of straight men into faggots annually"
"Clarkson, that other school in potsdam"
"Tickets to the hockey game: $12
Poster Supplies: $4
Watching Latullip get checked into the glass infront of the poster: Priceless!"
"In response to Clarkson winning last year... Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile"

Get it right....
Clarkson, where the men are men, the women are men, and the sheep run like hell.
Nothin great comes to mind, but just to get things rolling and hopefully someone can elaborate:
"Good Knight to your Season" or something to that effect
"Nickerson STILL has Syphilis"
"You actually lost to Wayne State?"
"You live in Potsdam"
Something making fun of Weller for his inability to get an 800 on his SATs. "Duhh I think I did Weller on da SATs this time"
Grant Clitsome's mother's name is Louanne, I'll leave the ball in your court on that one.
just came up with another one...
Potsdam: 1 cow pasture surrounded by 100 miles of nothing
Last year I had
"GOLDEN SHOWERS" (not original but still good)
"YOUR COACH BEATS YOU" (maybe old but it still stings for them)
"RPI REJECTS" (and vice-versa if RPI is the opponents)
"YOU LIVE IN POTSDAM" (though the ushers did tell us to stop the "Potsdam white trash" cheer)
And please, for old times sake, have someone make another "NICKERSON HAS SYPHILIS"
[Q]"Clarkson Sucks, on there mothers" [/Q]
Hmm... you would think an Ivy-leaguer would know the difference between "there" and "their." 1350 SATs required? That would mean you'd need at least a 550 on your verbal, provided you aced the math, but that's not looking good at the moment.
:-P The 1350 comes from what I was told in the How to Be a Good Fan thread.
I like the one making fun of us using Matt Curley's quote though. I can't imagine the "faggots" poster would last more than 2 minutes before someone made you put it down. Not to mention that last year there were two of the most ridiculously gay guys in front of Section B. We were laughing at them the whole time. And you think we're fags? Evidently it would take one to know one -- but you'd be wrong anyway.
Potsdam - German for "That team sucks"
"Hey Clarkson, how did your Senior's Night go?"
I've been meaning to ask. Why all the STD references towards Clarkson. I mean, it's funny and all, but is there some back story? Who is this Nickerson with syphilis? A player of theirs?
you see, the funny thing is that I am not an IVY-league student. I live in Dryden, go to High School, and Have season tickets in section M. and as far as me not know that difference between There and Thier... I do... I was typing quickly and messed up. besides... it's an online forum... grammar isn't my top priority.
There will be a sign in the front of Section A that you will find extremely entertaining.
I strongly advise you to arrive in time for the first warmups to truly enjoy the sign.
Maybe so, but it's still fun to pick on a Cornell fan every once in a while. Do you play sports at Dryden? I went to NV.
Yeah I am into Sports. Varsity Boys Swim. I used to run track... I have cousins in NV, know the fitzgibbons?
Yep, sure do. Erin graduated with me.

Well, I think it really started against WMU early in the season. One of their players, Dwyer, was really pissing us off, in that he was acting like a douchebag, so somehow a "Dwyer has syphilis" cheer started. It pretty much disappeared, but somehow got brought back in game 1 last year as Nickerson was also acting like a douchebag. So I made the sign for game 2, well, at least until athletics took it away in the 1st period. From there, it's lived on, as the series has lived on in infamy.

Ah, I see. It would be so much funnier though if one of their players actually had syphilis. Ah well, we can only hope...
I'm sure I know people who could make that happen...
Petr, I know you're a better fan than to forget Nickerson. Are you off your game lately?

bad disease to wish on someone; one of those easy-to-treat-but-will-really-cause-damage-if-you-dont diseases - and since poverty = no money = no healthcare...
ok off my horse...that was funny when that cheer spontaneously came about. i think i remember who it was - one of our neighbors.
i always like
"Moldin' Knights" since their jerseys look like mold growing on vomit :)
2 new ones off the top of my head
"TECHnically, you suck"
"SLU(T)S and KNIGHTS breed bad hockey" <-- i like this one
ok i am done after that one :)
of course if cornell plays colgate someone has to have the "we want weeder" sign. i just dated myself there.
still looking for tix for saturday. what erks me is i know there are going to be empty seats...
Bah! Way to call me on that. I think it's all the damn paper writing, it's getting to my head. But yeah, it's back now. I can still hear someone in our section yelling after Nickerson tripped in a later period, "Hey Nickerson, it must be hard to skate around with those two black eyes!"
Heh.
And Nickerson's been well behaved this year too.

i concur with todd on those. i also liked "Good Knight" but u wanna be careful that it isn't interpreted as a compliment.
"subway owns clarkson" may go over a few heads, but if anyone remembers the lil subway games between periods...

"C U later Knights" (with CU in green as not to be confused with OUR CU).
Sir Paul McCartney,
Sir Alec Guinness,
Sir Winston Churchill:
Knights that DON'T suck!
Private messages would be cool.
Signs don't always have to be clever or witty. It can be something like these:
"Why Clarkson? Because idiots need education as well"
"Traylen's mom was here"
"Flip my burger tonight, tomorrow night, and every night until you die"
"Nickerson and his family belong in hell"
"Cornell Hockey = Ivy League's Best"
Clarkson Hockey = Retards on Ice
"Cornell David McKee VS Clarkson Dustin WasteofLife"
This one is for the clarkson coach (he likes to complain and talk to the refs)
"Shut your ugly balding frog face, George Roll"
"section O Clarkson fans = stupid in Ithaca now, stupid in Potsdam later"
"Supersize my fries, and don't forget the barbeque sauce"

Where have you gone, Judy and Melissa?
::help::
who are judy and melissa?
Was that an insult or a compliment, Whelan??
subway owns clarkson - was that because of the subway frisbee toss or just cuz they're the same colors?
and I'm judy. I lurk.
i blame this on "subway owns clarkson"
thinking something along the lines of we've eaten lots of cupcakes and now need something more substantial like a subway sub on a roll (george, that is).
if anyone can build off of this, feel free. brain not quite operating in "witty or clever" mode.
and for those that really don't know me,
Hi, I'm judy and I'm a food addict.

Compliment, definitely. Y'all put creativity and heart into your signs, back in the day. (Y'know, all of 3 years ago ;-) )
Speaking of which, doesn't someone have a digital picture of Ganderson holding the "DO ME DOV" sign from Placid 2002?

Beeeej
TV networks are suckers for signs with their initials no matter how stupid (see below for choice example) and, lucky us, we have the same initial as one of the networks
C ornell
S katers
T otally
V ictorius
God knows what you can do for
X
M

sports. The M will probably be for McKee. Just write big so you overcome the pixellation.
Sweeeeet!
Ganderson was the ! - he was getting red paint out of his belly button for days......
I looked through my Lake Plastered 2002 pics - no Do Me Dov. :(

Awesome idea! Especially with CSTV stil rather new, they should be chomping at the bit for something to show that fans/viewers are aware of and into them.
[Q]Awesome idea! Especially with CSTV stil rather new, they should be chomping at the bit for something to show that fans/viewers are aware of and into them.[/q]Indeed. The networks have been told to back off on the sporting events honey shots, or at least not zoom in so close, so this is a popular alternative. But please think of something more articulate than Cornell Spots Totally Victorious.
Jennifer Will You Marry Me?

also works even if you don't know anyone named Jennifer. You soon might.

It's seriously outta focus, but yes.
I have that one. It has some glare but definitely is readable. Think there are some of those fish drawings (next best thing) in the photo too ...

When Jay Latulipe got the penalty that bitz scored a powerplay goal on, Jay and a man behind the penalty box where yelling at each other. The man behind the penalty box kept saying "here it comes Jay" and he said it right as Bitz one timed a shot to score his power play goal. So my sign idea is:
Here it Come's Jay
