cheer for mckee

[Ben Rocky \'04]

Sitting in G, its clear to me we need a cheer for McKee for when he makes a great save(s).
My friends Mike, Josh & Tanya and I came up with shouting "don't mess with texas!" after a good save, maybe with signs saying that to back it up on the glass.  We were also thinking of purchasing a texas flag to wave around.
What else the rest of you got?  Anything better then our 5 minutes of brain storming between Futurama episodes?

Ben,

Great idea on the don't mess with Texas!  I think folks might take a liking to him more if someone painted his helmet.  I'm trying to think up a good nickname for him - any thoughts?

The only problem is the idea isn't wholly original.  I've already seen a guy carrying around a little sign painted with Texas state colors that reads "Don't Mess with McKee!"  But, I say we do it anyway.

[Ack]

Not to toot my own horn...but I'm the guy with the "Don't Mess with McKee" sign, and yes - agreed that McKee needs a cheer. Out in sections A and B we've been singing, "The stars at night - are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas...". More signs to come (McKee's Rules: No swearin' and no shootin')....


The full song goes,
"The stars at night - are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The prairie sky - is wide and high,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The Sage in bloom - is like perfume,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Reminds me of - the one I love,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The rabbits rush - around the brush,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The coyotes wail - along the trail,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl,
Deep in the heart of Texas."

Thanks "One of the guys who got revenge on Volonnino" - nice work

That song sounds best when sung by a bunch of drunk UTexas alums at a singalong bar in Dallas...  Even Tennessee fans don't go that crazy over Rocky Top!

It would be cool to get a custom-made Texas flag

in Cornell colors, but if you changed the blue to red, there would be a red block next to a red stripe:

Maybe we can get Dunbar's to start serving Lone Star.  ::nut::
