"Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!"

[Jeff hopkins \'82]

I can tell you that we did not stand during the games between the '78 and '82 seasons, and I don't recall it during a mid-80's tournament at the Boston Garden.  If they did it in the early '70s, it never made it past the late '70s.

I think the first I heard of the idea of standing through the whole game was when I went to my first tourney at LP, in the mid-90s.  

Personally, I like the idea (but it's getting harder to do it with each passing year).

From the snowy cornfields of Roseville, Michigan I feel I must chime in here.  For the past few years the team, and specifically my son Davey Francis, have found the long "diiiiiiiiie" cheer to be annoying, distracting, and offensive.  Seeing as Davey is a god among men, his opinion should be taken as the authority on this matter.  In fact while at my house over the long thanksgiving holiday, Davey (while eating chunky noodle soup) specifically mentioned that this sort of tom foolery at Lynah needs to stop.
Let's all listen to Davey and stick to this rule.  Now, give some sugga' to yo momma....

We definitely didn't stand during my student days.  Heck, we were generally so loaded, we could bearly sit.  Right, Arthur?

Actually, Ken and I did stand during our student days -- at the top of Section C, on the red line, with our twin cowbells, in the row directly in front of the pressbox, seats for which we would routinely get to the rink and stand in the general admission line for two hours or more before the game. But we were about the only ones who stood, and we didn't block anyone's view of the game.

"Yo Momma," when did you change your name from "Joe Momma"?  I find this disturbing.  ::uhoh::

BTW, did anyone catch the WMU crowd in the background of the broadcast last night?  Man -- they are fouler than we'll ever be! :-D   Every cheer contains some permutation of "suck/sucks/etc," except of course that old-timey CCHA classic, in which the entire student section bangs their thundersticks and chants "FUCK YOU, SHEGOS!"

Aside: if anyone EVER sees a thunderstick at Lynah... well... you know what to do.

Thank you for your question.  I changed my name over the summer after my divorce from Joe Francis, Davey's father.  I didn't think it appropriate to keep my married name, so I went back to my maiden name.

Last night's game was stellar.  Davey and I got bogged down in an exciting game of twister and couldn't make it to Kalamazoo.  But have no doubt, we will be there tonight!  Look for me in the "Super Yo Momma" sweatshirt!!

Gimme some sugga....
