Keys in a one-goal game

[Ack]

Most of us did like the cheer; it was funny. A good temporary replacement for the "safety school" chant that never came (I don't think).

It has to do with the fifth post on this thread, which was what I was responding to.  I'm not sure what your problem is, but reading appears to be part of it.

i am quite capable of reading. the "ivy team" cheer is a complete non sequitor in regards to jingling keys with a minute left in a one goal game. i am not one of the idiots who took out keys, nor am i a facetimer. excuse me for trying to come up with some creativity. some of the alums are always bitching about how there is too much use of "____ SUCKS!" yet you get all pissy as soon as someone deviates from the norm with something new.

as to the initial criticism, the cheer demonstrates neither stupidity nor overconfidence. stupidity would have been doing the "winning team" cheer (which is reserved for the band anyway) at the end of the tie game and overconfidence would be doing it with a minute left in a one-goal game. if you're going to be a jerk, at least be able to back up what you say with a particular reason. if you have something more appropriate to say at the end of a tie or a loss, suggest it. or better yet, say it at a game, if you have the luxury to have tickets. otherwise, get off my back.[/q]Mike! Greg! Fix your tags and go to your rooms. BOTH OF YOU!

mike i liked the cheer. i see no difference between that and the safety school cheer - they imply the same thing. it is all done in good fun...i am glad we finally were able to get a few asselstine cheers going too

..and it's also similar to the old "That's alright, that's OK, you're gonna work for us someday" chant.

You know, being called "moron" for doing a cheer that someone disliked really isn't a slight against your family honor that requires a duel to settle.

Because, really, if you can't rip on someone named Asselstine, who CAN you rip on?  B-]

To me, it seems silly to direct them at someone like Harvard (sort of like the band playing "Underdog" when we're playing against a lousy team), except in the context of trying to be funny, in which case it's only funny if you also perform those cheers against true safety schools.  But...different strokes for different folks...

Yeah, I was really hoping he'd get called for a penalty (and that everyone would pick up on the obvious).

I've almost been thrown out of the Gut for just saying "Vermont". Why not Lynah for saying "Asseltine"?  :-D

Hey, maybe we can steal a cue back from Michigan and replace asshole with Asseltine...

No it's not.  At least it shouldn't be. :-(

I thought it was 'reserved' for the #1 guy in the ticket line?  Or, rather, that person leads the cheer.

Thinking we'd get away with that is giving the Lynah ushers FAAAAAR too much credit.

Many moons ago, yes. Now the band has decided it's their civic duty. Fire and brimstone to those who should interfere... ::rolleyes::

Sadly, too true.  It had potential.  The penalty box could be known as "Castle Asselstine."
