"Davy" cell phone ringtone

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

Why don't we get them to put a ringing cell phone up to the announcer's microphone?

I'd love it. Now how can I get it?

Of course, if we all have "Davy," then getting a call at a Cornell game will turn into quite an event... ;-)

I really hope that all of us will have our cell phones turned OFF when we're actually at the games.  Nothing worse than someone yammering away during a game - big pet peeve of mine...

If that could be organized, it would be fantastic!

Pick a time of the game (say, first face-off *after* the 2d period cowbell (it has to be done during a break so you don't have to stare at a clock instead of the action)) and have people just call the person sitting next to them inside Lynah.

Arthur strikes me as a few shades too classy and mature to start a cheer that ends with "sucks".

That wouldn't work though because once you're in a call the phone won't ring again - it'll just beep to let you know you have another incoming call.  The best thing would be one of those websites that does auto-wakeup calls (or someone write a program to do it!), and people can go sign up for it to call their phone at a set time during the game.  Course it'd be hard to predict what the current 'state' of the game would be when the call came in....maybe if they could sign up and be entered in a queue, and then someone can just click a 'Run' button or something to start dialing all the numbers in the queue simultaneously, if that's possible.  Any CS majors who know alot about VoIP in here? :-)

If half the arena called and half the arena let the phones ring it would work.

Maybe I'm just ignorant having never owned a mobile phone, but isn't there a button you can push to make it ring?  Like if you want to hear or set your ring tone or something?  You probably wouldn't even need a signal to do so, since I hear it's somewhat touch-and-go to get a signal inside the tin can that is Lynah.

Or you can do what I do...yell "Ring Ring" really loud.  :-)

Very true.

Well, a while back, I had "composed" the New Fight Song, My Old Cornell, and Davy into my Sony Ericcson T68i.  Tedious, but not difficult.  Call me bored.

I'm not sure if I can transfer it out, but if it is possible, then maybe I can post it somewhere.

If I find out anything, I'll let you all know.

Anyone who has a cellphone can play their own ringer. No calling need be involved.

An obvious example of telephonanism. ::bugeye::

ROFLMAO - funniest post on this site in months

Just to update everyone on this...I got a new phone finally, and using Verizon's GetItNow browser with the Ringster 2.0 app, found "Give My Regards to Davy" in the "Fight Songs - Other" category.  It doesn't sound half bad, though I'm unsure if it does the Big Red Band justice. :-D
