Signs and Cheers for USA Under-18 Dev. Team

U-18 beat Onion and RPI with a score of 5-4 both times.[/quote]

That's not going to help us in the KRACH. ::innocent::

How about, "It's nine o'clock and you're past curfew"? I got nothing.[/quote]

Funnier, less insulting-of-children than "past your bedtime," but more syllables. Unlike Joe Biden ("Let me say it again"), you only get one chance for a laff and the fewer syllables the better. ("Ref, you suck" is good on this measure if none other.)

[quote Josh '99][quote billhoward]And are we sure those cheers won't rebound?
Cornell: We've had sex.
Under-18s: We've had more. And they're all under 18.
or
Cornell: We've had sex.
Under-18s: We've had Bristol.[/quote]I have to figure the U18s will be too busy playing hockey to come up with those on the fly.  :-P[/quote]

And any fans they do bring will be parents and relatives, who will be nervous as all hell coming into Lynah.

The first time I heard the "Ref, you suck" cheer, I was at the Verizon Center. I thought they were cheering "F- You. Suck!"

Holy moly, they beat UAA at the... Wasilla Sports Complex in Wasilla, Alaska!!!

It's paying for itself already!

[quote BMac]Thread drift exhibit A:

I feel that we don't use the Elynah forum enough as a resource for doing what the Lynah Faithful do best- come up with clever ways to egg our opponents on.

Goes to:

I am all for trying to get under the other teams skin and making there experience less than pleasant, but you can do that without being crude/rude/etc...

No offense to Dpperk29- I'm just trying to get the conversation back on track. We all agree here, now let's make fun of those damn kids.

So, can we get back to brainstorming? What are we (eLf) good for if we can't come up with some material before games?

I just tried to track down their record, in case we can find anything funny there. Couldn't find it online- hopefully they lost to Onion or something?[/quote]

since I derailed the thread, here are some ideas...

"we can win the lotto"
"Warm up the school bus"
"We're from the 80's" (though that might not be such an insult)
"You're Grounded" (when they take a penalty maybe?)
"Bag my groceries"
"Grow a beard"

Are we recruiting any of these guys?

If yes, then "Come to school here.  We have fans, Harvard doesn't." - or Princeton or whichever school we might be recruiting against.

a few from last time we played them:
"where's your mommy"
"past your bed time"
"have your mom start the bus"
"can't buy porn or cigarettes"

[billhoward]

Yours are the best so far. Particularly "You're grounded" when they take a penalty, which is funny without being overly insulting. "Warm up the school bus" is pretty good, too.

On the off chance -- very off chance? -- one of them is thinking of Cornell, you don't want them to hate the place ... but rather be impressed and wanting to be of the great tradition. More likely they want to skate a year at Minnesota and then go pro.

Governor Palin called, and she said, "Remember, abstinence only...oops."

"We Can Vote"

particularly applicable this year.

Most of the student section "can't" buy beer. Maybe leave that for Section C?
