Sign ideas

[avh0307]

Anyone have any good ideas for signs in Albany?  Any good Vermont goons to make fun of?  Thanks for suggestions!! :-)

vermont goons...
let's see...elephant walk to start off with.
http://www.muttonbone.com/ might also be appropriate for them. this was floating around section B their first full season after the hazing, please refer to http://www.uscho.com/news/1999/12/11_000848.php for anyone who doesn't remember, or maybe just want to relive the memories.
and then of course, anything witty in regards to leaving the ecac...maybe a large "see ya!...you goons!" sign in general

"See ya Vermont!  You Goon!" is a sign I've made but I'm not sure if I'm going to bring it.  I'd rather bring Pro-Cornell signs like 2003.

Doh...for the record I made my sign last night  :-)

Print up signs that say "Go Vermont" with a bunch of elephants walking on it.  Ignorant UVM people will think it's pro-UVM, neutral people will be befuddled, but all in the know will kow what it means.  But whatever it is, you have to have some "elephant walk" reference.

I'm printing out very large pictures of elephants (MS Word clip art).  I'll be in Section 115... look for the sign!!!  French Rage, thanks for the idea!

can you do elephants with their trunks holding on to the tail in front of them?

well, there's "Elephant Walk Home"

also, "ecac rejects" (though they're the ones who chose to leave, so that's a bit hazy)

i was thinking about "Pussy Cats" but didn't know the level of appropriateness

i plan to have my "Lynah Middle East" sign for the weekend, and a large hyphen on a poster as well.

for the lynah east game, the girlfriend made a "we had sex in high school"/"you had your hand in high school" doublesided sign which we never ended up bringing out due to the many children around us (and the loss), and unfortunately made its way into the trash can after we left the game

'ack and that group should def. bring the "heimlich/choking" sign that they had for the harvard home game this year. definitely one of the best signs i've ever seen.

hmmm...every team cornell plays is a bunch of goons?

There was once a sign at Placid that said "Hey St. Lawrence, if you can spell 'safety school,' we might let you in."   It got torn down, drawing the retaliatory destruction of an SLU sign that apparently one of the players' moms had made.   Someone handed me a piece of that SLU sign after they tore it down, and I have it to this day!

edit: so it is clear what I am getting at
Penalty Minutes:                Games    PIM     PIM/G

  2   Yale                        22     391      17.8
  3   Vermont                     22     371      16.9
  4   Union                       22     358      16.3
  5   St. Lawrence                22     349      15.9
  6   Harvard                     22     338      15.4
  7   Rensselaer                  22     334      15.2
  8   Dartmouth                   22     328      14.9
  9   Princeton                   22     316      14.4
 10   Brown                       22     315      14.3
 11   Colgate                     22     307      14.0
 12   Cornell                     22     300      13.6

Yeah I get it so by your definition, since cornell is the least penalized team in the league (how did THAT happen....lol) every other team are goons?

Fact is that taking a lot of penalties does not automatically make you a "goon"...one needs to consider the type of penalties taken.

Maybe you should make your signs say "Undisciplined"...that's likely to be more accurate and also more befitting your "Ivy" education...lol
