Which raises the question...do the undergrads doing the singing even know?  I mean, the current seniors were freshmen two years after Baby graduated.  It's sorta like chanting "We want Weder" 10 years after the fact.[/quote]

But then, who amongst us ever went to Zinck's?[/quote]

Says you.  My times at Zinck's were real corkers, they were.  Quite the hootenanny!  That Tee Fee Crane was quite the rag-a-muffin, a stinkeroo.

What are you talking about?  We all liked good old Tee Fee. It's Davy we couldn't stand.

this one does, and so do the people I stand with.  As for the rest of them, my guess that those fans that read this board do, I don't see why the rest would know much about BU or the history of the ECAC

Perhaps due to the absense of Bâby, they should change the lyrics for Ray himself:

Rayyyy,  Ray baby....

Hmmm, you think maybe it has something to do with the phrasing of Mr. Cohan's music?

I thought Tee Fee was a snitch.  Didn't he rat out the druken piker to Davy leading to the expulsion?

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 Baby? :-)

PS Yes, I'm a current senior. From reading the forum I know who he is, but no reason not to update the cheer.

I still want to know who this Auger guy is...

Though I found the interview entertaining, I disagree with the premise of the first question.  What is so unusual about Raymond Sawada having a Japanese middle name and surname?  After Devin Setoguchi's two-goal NHL debut last night (Is there a better way to have a successful debut than to play on Joe Thornton's line?), four Japanese Canadians have played in the NHL in the last few years:  Paul Kariya, Steve Kariya, Setoguchi, and Jamie Storr.  In addition, David Tanabe is Japanese American.

So that's 4 out of maybe a thousand people who have played in the NHL in the last few years.  If that's not "unusual," then what's your working definition?  Seems unusual to me.  Not Jackie-Robinson groundbreaking, of course, but unusual nonetheless.
Let's Go RED!

QuoteSawada: Actually, I do remember one cheer. The one that goes, "Heyyy Bobby, I want to knowwww when you're going to kill someone." That one.

[/quote]To be fair to Sawada, given that this was a spoken interview, that could very well be an error on the Sun's part rather than his.[/quote]

Exactly. I'm sure Sawada knows to whom the song refers, but whoever typed up the interview didn't.[/quote]

These mistakes do happen. Legendary Car and Driver / Automobile editor David E. Davis was interviewed about auto safety and he talked about self-styled reformmers, using the term Savonarolas. The Automotive News reporter printed it as Savannah Rollers.
