It appears our third period ritual has rubbed off onto Clarkson, too bad it's not as intense and ritualized.

I always assumed we stole it from somebody.

It's not all that clever.

They've been doing it, good or bad, for a while.

Whoa. Nice scoop. I've heard other teams' fans say "SIEVE!" as well.

In all honesty, the entire ECAC now does some versions of what we've always heard in Lynah now. As soon as "It's all your fault" appeared at Union of all places, I knew our uniqueness was over.

As for Clarkson, I give them credit for having "Rock n Roll Part II" and the "You suck" part slightly before we did. That song as a hockey anthem really got its start with the Penguins '92-93 teams. It appeared in Lynah first around 1994-95. It was only a matter of time before the "HEY" got turned into a "SIEVE" and the "YOU SUCK" thing eventually filled the empty space in the music because we can't have any impressive silence anymore. (see: "see ya" )

Oh yeah, and stop holding your phones in that orientation for videos, whippersnappers.

The "all your fault" chant awaits the first time we host the University of San Andreas.

I think we stole IAYF from Wisco via BU.  Both of those schools were doing it before we.

There's also the irony of accusing Clarkson of stealing anything from us, after the CCT Band Playlist hilarity. :-D

I see what you did there.

Another victim of Clarkson thievery:

"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."
