We are trying our best, but most of the students in the further sections (D,E,F) are not season ticket holders so are not privy to the traditions and chants. (Surprisingly a decent portion of A seemed to not know the chants last night either) hopefully as the season progresses we will get more synced together

Someone needs to bang together a cheer-guide app   , then get a big mouth lynah veteran who'll act like an idiot and try to start the cheers, and get them a permanent seat somewhere near the bottom of C.

In typing that out I realized that all the students standing for the whole game makes it more difficult to get cheers organized. Back when people sat for games and didn't stand all game, if someone down near the glass stood up, turned around and yelled their cheer or intention back at the crowd it was pretty obvious it was happening.  (Says the not-quite-yet-codger has never liked the stand-all game bullshit)

A modernized app version of this http://www.elynah.com/?cheers actually isn't a bad idea - I'll look into coding one up (CS Major Hockey Fans FTW)

Dunc, another Section B vet here (normally row A, but currently out with COVID - should be back for Sacred Heart) - I was thinking about printing a bunch of 1/4 cards with some of the basic cheers and then a QR code with a link to a site with the rest of the info, but not sure about the cost or if Lynah staff would yell at me for trying to distribute. I don't think we need a full blown iOS or Android app, but a website that loads quickly on the crappy Lynah WiFi should be good enough.

Given the COVID cancellations and the (insert expletive directed at Cornell ticketing/leadership) single-game ticketing system last year, the current seniors only have the 2019-2020 season of experience (if they went as freshmen) and everyone else is complete rookies. As a super-senior, I've got slightly more than that, but barely. Looking at the livestream last night, it didn't look like D/E were even doing the Alma Mater. :(

We NEED to get the word out about what we are yelling before Harvard on 12/2.

Shoot me a PM or an email if you want to try and coordinate.

Totally agree we need to organize something before Harvard - I'll shoot you a dm after the game tonight

Nice goal.  But was that piped in music?  Gotta stop that shit IMMEDIATELY.  Creeping meatballism is a cancer; you cannot let the business fuckwits get a toehold.

I like the students standing all game, if only because it leads to a marginal drop in sucking on their iPacifiers.  I'm hopeful B and D can coordinate and get C on the same page.  Also, we did go a whole year without games so it's up to the seniors to make sure all the lore is passed on before they split.  This s a good opportunity for some cheer Darwinism, too.  If the leaders in those sections do their jobs we can kill remote control goalie Jeopardy forever.

Band's in New York today, so it's probably a skeleton pep band. Doesn't justify piped in crap, because what's wrong with just letting people cheer or talk? But that's probably what's going on.

I heard no piped-in yesterday when the band was better in attendance.

And apparently so is Colgate tonight because they're up 6-0 after two periods. It's going to be a loooong season in New Haven

But hey Whaler legend Kevin Dineen's kid plays there, so that's all the CT media needs to give them ink.

The Kids are alright. A cheer for Dunc & laserwhisperer for posting here & carrying on. I was worried this forum was going to be '65-'97 old dudes talking over each over forever. Please keep it up.

I was thrilled to see the keys out vs Yale. Lynah's in good hands.
