Christ, I sound like methuselah (spelled like "intercession"--hey, i was a history major) but the sieve cheer was not original with us. It was a Wisconsin cheer(at least the first time anyone at Cornell had heard it, to my knowledge) and scared the crap out of us in the semi-final game of the nationals in Boston Garden when Wisconsin, down 4-0, beat us 5-4. 1972 or 1973.

Thanks. We were pretty loud with it. By the way, I really like the emphasis on RED in The Star Spangled Banner. When did that start?

I am Cornell '73 and was actually at the game where Dave Elenbaas had the chicken thrown at him. (It was intercession.)

I now subscribe and can watch the Red on tv and saw the Harvard game which was great. It was also fun to be updated on the cheers, since I am thirty years out of date and will be at the Brown game on Jan 20.

So what happened to "We Want More"? Whenever Cornell scored its first goal, after "Davy" it was "One. We want more!" Second.. "One, Two. We want more!" You get the idea. For some of the freshmen games against Junior B teams, or Yale, it would be "Five, Ten..."

So when did this disappear? Any chance of bringing it back. It was very good and I think disheartening for our opponents. And the hell is a Quinnipiac?
