Oh come on!  Isn't making unreasonable snap judgements about people for their random comments half the fun of this place?   [/q]

Haha, yes.  I just wanted to be the first.

The Trojans...useful, Spartans...useless could work if we get a sign and a few people with trojans.

For that matter, most of the old standard cheers have been plagiarized by Michigan.  State players have heard them before, but with - hopefully - a little less volume. They'll be effective.

MSU - isn't that something they put on Chinese food?

[Ack_]

"NCAA Tournament Hockey: No Longer with MSU"

[cth95]

I think Canadians have 13 years of school as well, so they are automatically one year older than Americans.

[MSG]

That's MSG, not MSU...

With all their injuries, and this being our first game, should we make a comment about the Big Red freshness?  ::yark::  Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Now I know that a lot of the big state schools have that whole "if you can't get into U go to state...etc," but we don't want to use that since state comes so high up in that cheer. So what about to the same tune,

"If you can't get into U go to state, If you can't get into U go to state, If you can't get into U and you need a safety school, If you can't get into U go to state."

I don't know if the band could get in on that too, to organize the cheer a little bit, instead of one small group saying it, but I think it could work.

I like the Trojans useful...Spartans useless one.  I've bought a few packs, and am considering making a sign.  It's a nice original change for a cheer.  Throw a few jimmy hats at Vic?

Throw absolutely nothing on the ice except newspapers, and those only during introductions.  If you cause a Cornell penalty, you will likely not escape Lynah alive.

If you're going to throw them, definitely make a sign, so everyone understands and can get in on the fun.  Besides, signs are fun.

Damn, I wish I were in Ithaca this weekend.


EDIT: Agreed with the don't throw during the game comment posted by Beeeej.  But, Beeeej, if we throw toothpaste boxes, porn, and fish according to our opponent WITH the newspapers, what's different about condoms?

Toothpaste boxes and porn?  Those are new to me.

And really, you're welcome to throw whatever you want.  It's a free country.  Just don't say I didn't warn you of the possible consequences.  Refs aren't always the happy-go-lucky, free-spirited humorists we hope they'll be.

Nobody complains if you toss a used newspaper on the ice.

see http://www.elynah.com/?cheers#Boring for the fish/toothpaste boxes, with the additional variation of porn for the U-18 team two years ago (and presumably this year as well?)

I guess my point is that you're not really creating any extra delay by throwing something fairly clean and easy to pick up when the rink staff is already out there picking stuff up, and I don't see any sane ref disagreeing - nor do I think I'm giving the ECAC refs too much credit.  Nonetheless, warning taken.
