[quote ugarte][quote Rita][quote Beeeej][quote BMac]It's 9 o'clock on a Friday night- honestly, 15 people in A were staring holes into the digital clock on the wall under the catwalk between 8:59 and 9:00.

For the love of God, would you please explain to the other fourteen people that the "9 o'clock" cheer is "It's 9 o'clock - do you know where your goalie is?" when we're up by a few goals, and "It's Saturday night, and you can't score" is completely different and has nothing to do with the time on the clock?![/quote]

I don't think the TV stations air those PSAs anymore, thus I'm not sure the kids today get it. The PSAs were very popular in the late 70's/ early 80's (but the time was 10 o'clock, IIRC). Actually, it might not be a bad idea to bring them back.[/quote]
The time in the PSA's was 10 o'clock, but I think you can see why Lynah moved it to 9.[/quote]

Back when the games started at 7:30 and a team of thugs, like say Don Calhoun and the Princeton tigers, came to Lynah, the game actually did make it past 10 o'clock.

They should air those PSAs in IN. I grew up in CT and those ads seemed to be on all the time, and my parents did indeed know where I was at 10 pm.

The Gallagher play is at about 46:30 in the Redcast video.

I'm going to refer you to Jim Hyla's comment on the SLU game thread-

we get way too critical about how people cheer. Let's be happy they do it; no one can say that only the people who post here know the correct way.

We've done it this way at least since I was a freshman in 04-05. It's funny. Everyone knows it. Relax.

Other than "it's funny" and "everyone knows it," I completely agree.  It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.  What does the time on the clock have to do with the joke?

Oh, and I'm quite relaxed, thanks.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with the current version or bastardization, as some would have it, of the 9 o'clock cheer.  The very nature of cheers is similar to folk tales in that they evolve over time and it's so tight-assed to feel the need to police our own cheering.  If students feel like they'll get hated on by other "better" fans for trying to introduce something new to the repertoire, well, you don't end up seeing much new material.

Mixing two cheers in a way that misses the point of both isn't introducing new material.

Geez, Keith, relax.

Or, in this case, and as we've used MUCH more often for the 2000s-era teams, "It's 9:00.  Do you know where your offense is?

I'm not one to get my panties in a bunch about cheers.  The only reason this bothers me, is that the two cheers,in my opinion, are two of Lynah's best when done right.  In the end though, whatever keeps (?) the rink full and loud will work for me.

I admit, this one does bother me - but probably more so because I was there the very first time the "Do you know where your goalie is?" cheer was done, back in the very early 1990s.  I don't think anybody is intentionally disrespecting the person who started it by combining them.  But I do feel (and obviously others agree) that these two cheers are, separately, fantastic, and that combining them just doesn't make sense.

That having been said, people are gonna do what they're gonna do.

For instance, speeding up the Let's Go Red chant like a record going from 33 to 45 RPM.

The next time you go to Lynah, the cheer is going to be "Itsnineoclockandyoucantscore! Itsnineoclockandyoucantscore! Itsnineoclockandyoucantscore! ..." You will swipe a trombone and start swinging wildly at anyone cheering.

In case anyone missed it, there was a special visitor with the tubas on Saturday.
