creative welcome for us under-18 team

[DeltaOne81]

Do these guys not wear names on the back? I didn't get the the Under 18 game a couple years ago.

[Jordan 04]

They do.  (At least, did 2 years ago).

something of note is that they beat sacred heart in OT the other day

red and white game was fun but i am ready for some action this weekend

so is this too crude for lynah now a days?  "hey kevin, your mom really lives up to her last name"

[Keith K \'93]

Don't insult the guy's Mom... there's lots of things you can do with Swallows without mentioning her.  Just my opinion...

[DisplacedCornellian]

I think any and all comments about his mother are fair game.  If you could work that sort of insult into the telephone cheer...that'd be genious.

[A-19]

hey (goalie), #17 called, he said (you suck).
no, he said you swallow.

[jyiii]

keith i was joking but it is a funny idea.
we could always point to the goalie and say:
"sucks"
then point at kevin and say
"swallow"
and go back and forth ::nut::

[Keith K \'93]

You were joking?  Is that why you put a ";)" after your post?  I'm so used to the colorful, animated smileys here I think I missed it until a minute ago  ::nut::

Your "Sucks-Swallow" suggestion is perfect.

Just a reminder that a lot of these kids end up playing college hockey.  Maybe Cornell would like to have some of them come play here.  A good humorous Lynah welcome seems in order, but showing a little class may be helpful if the coaches are recruiting some of these players.

"Hey Swallow, your mother called, she said...you suck!"

"Hey Swallow, your boyfriend called, he said...you're named right!"

Well, for as good as he may be, do we really want a guy named Swallow?  I mean, that's just asking for ridicule from the other team's fans.  Then again, we got by okay for four years with a guy named Baby...

also

gimme a break. saying swallow with a hint of a sexual nature surely has to be something that this kid has endured his whole life. i doubt that a little fun with the name is going to scare kids away from cornell. i always love when people use the word "class" also. what is class? if class is what history tells us classy people from this country have done in the past, then by all means do not call me classy

ok off of that podium now, i think a little fun is not out of the question. i do think that we should stay away from the boyfriend cheer since that is one of the banned cheers

[DisplacedCornellian]

banned cheers?!? say it ain't so!  What have they banned?

I don't know if any are 'banned' per se, but the language has been 'officially' changed for certain key cheers, like "Rough 'em up, rough 'em up, go CU" instead of "F--k 'em up" and "See ya, you goon!" without the "a--hole".

Personally, I always thought "your boyfriend called!" was kinda stupid anyway.  The telephone cheer works better with an ever-changing third line, like "the guy that puts your mom out on the street every night called!"

"all six of your jerk fans called..."
sorry, can't let that one go B-]
