Cornell at Western Michigan, Sat

[Greg Berge]

I had lunch at Coach Bertrand's table in Lake Placid several seasons ago.  He was a real gentleman.  Does he live out in the Michigan area now?

Dick lives in Grand Rapids and is active in the Cornell Club of West Michigan.

It sounded like "You just suck" to me.  (BTW, it was really nice to do the Black Hole and AhhhSEEYA! cheers in their classic forms; one of the advantages of only having about 10 people actively doing cheers.)  Of course, there were plenty of "Fuck you Shegos" and "Fuck you Piotrowski" cheers, so the foul language does seem to be tolerated.  Although they did turn up the piped-in music to try to drown out a "bullshit" chant.

Since you were there, I'll trust your ears.  Sure sounded nastier to me, though.

I was there, but we were on the other side of the ice and down in the corner behind the glass.

Does anyone who is registered at USCHO feel like asking the WMUers what they say?

[Josh '99]

Well, aside from anything else, there were multiple instances of "Hornby swallows".  They really didn't like him.

[Brown & Gold]

I saw someone post on USCHO to tell you a bit about our cheers.  I'll see if I can help out a bit...

Yes, after a goal, we count off, and do the whole thing that I believe everyone else does in college hockey.  We do end with 'you just suck'.  Every college team probably will claim that as their own anyways.

Whenever Baby had the puck, we chanted 'Bitch'.  We choose one guy each series that will be our bitch, and we chant that.

Sheegos and Pitrowski have routinely called very bad games at Lawson, so they do not get shown any mercy.  Pitrowski reffing the playoff games last year against OSU was the WORST I've ever seen.

Indeed, we use a lot of profanity, and most probably, as noted on the USCHO boards, its probably out of lack of creativity.

Any other questions I'll be happy to answer.  You guys have a really good team, keep it up!

Thanks B&G. :-D
