Quote from: French Rage"During the national anthem, fans bust out with a unison cheer of "U!""

During every cheer, the fans bust out with "U!" and only with "U!".  It's literally the only cheer syllable they are aware of.
Their fanbase is 70% little kids who get in free and tear around the arena oblivious to the game.  Be glad they manage to be engaged for one syllable.
The rest of the fanbase is Union students, so be glad they can remember one syllable.

I think you might mean one letter - their signature cheer.            U

I never understood how a school called "UC" who has the wit (sic) to scream "You!" during the anthem isn't smart enough to make the big leap to yell "You See!"

They did at least one game I attended there, but that was probably 10 years ago. The non-clever always seems to rise to the top.

I keep thinking of getting an organized effort to shout "CAN" to neuter that more. I doubt they'd be swift enough to do the "ROCKETS" "GLARE" thing.

No, there's also those three old people from Schenectady, who think being a good fan is bringing a gallon milk jug full of pennies and shaking them in people's faces.
Oh man, I forgot about those people.  That's nearly as bad as Thunderstix.

Lack of originality and skill is common among UC schools.

Looking at Big Red Puckhead's recruit list I noticed that Gavin Stoick was listed as a member of Green Bay in the USHL, and sure enough he's no longer on the Cornell roster but is indeed listed on the Green Bay roster as a forward rather than a defenseman. He's still shown as a Cornell recruit. Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps the coaches suggested that he spend a year in the USHL and then plan to return next season having a year playing forward under his belt?
