Another idea I have considered is a song or something that we keep going the length of a penalty.[/Q]
This works pretty well at European soccer and hockey games.  But how do we choose a song without it being deemed silly?[/Q]
The band doesn't usually take issue with being called silly.  Fire away.[/q]

I could try to teach you the one I know (which is used in general, not specifically for penalty kills) at the Niagara game, but my lack of musical ability might stand in the way.

Here's an approximation of how it goes (the "HOPP S C B" is team-specific and a recent if obvious addition)

Doh doh doh, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, dooooooooooh
                                                    [HOPP S C B]
DOH DOH DOH, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh
Da-doh doh, dooooooooooh
                                                    [HOPP S C B]
DOH DOH DOH, doh, doh, doh                      (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh                          (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh                          (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, dooooooooooh                        (Ba-dah, dah daaaaaaaaah)
                                                    [HOPP S C B]
DOH DOH DOH, doh, doh, doh                      (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh                          (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, doh, doh, doh                          (Bah bah ba-da-dah)
Da-doh doh, dooooooooooh                        (Ba-dah, dah daaaaaaaaah)

Repeat for several minutes.  There are different  rules about playing drums during the game in Europe, so they tend to have a bunch of fan-club drummers playing rhythm along with it; after a couple of choruses they stop playing and let the fans sing it alone (typically waving their drumsticks back and forth to help people keep time) and then come back in a couple of choruses later on the DOH DOH DOH, which is impressive when it works (i.e., when people are still in time).

What about zombie nation's "kernkraft 4000"?  While most of you will be like, "what the hell is that, mate?" I will place a lot of money on the fact that you know the melody.  Dc++ it, and skip around until you hear the melody.  This would work perfectly.  If only I could put a soundclip on this forum!   This song would also work REALLY well with clapping.  If I somehow get my season tickets back, I'll try and start this up next game.  We could really use the band's help on this too.   Again, I GUARANTEE everyone knows this song.

No opinion on the song, just linking to it so everyone else can discuss it:

[Ack]

Gas break honk.  Gas break honk.  Honk honk punch.

[Ack]

Would it turn out well from the instruments we've got up there in section A?

 There have been way too many Section O Sucks cheers from section B.  Makes me worry too many fans there are there for the cheering, and not for the team itself.[/q]
THANK YOU! I have been refraining from participating in this cheer MANY times...as someone else mentioned, save it for when they are doing something that deserves it (e.g. the union flag guy, perhaps)!

and ctenah--I am pretty sure I know who you are, and (if I am correct) I sit/stand right behind you. correct me if I'm wrong but you were late to last night's game...YOU were part of the disappointly empty section B...

Yeah, I've never been late before.  I had a meeting with a professor to discuss undergrad research.  Sorry.  :-/  I was actually really pissed as my ride stood me up and there's no bus back from the vet research tower.  I missed the lineup too, as RPI had no names on their back so I couldn't even taunt them.  But then again, we do chant boring...so I probably wouldn't have heard anyway.

Good observation though.

thanks RazzBaronZ for the link.  Anyone have an opinion?

The cheering was off this weekend, but this always happens. I guess you could blame it on having a couple weeks off from a home game, but some of the things that go wrong are easily fixed.

I propose a new class at Cornell. Lynah 101, offered at 6:30 on Friday and Saturday nights before home games. One credit, S/U. Hey, maybe this way the student sections will actually be full before the game starts... ::rolleyes::

The problem with such a class -- and don't worry, I get that it's a joke, but it makes the case -- is that the sort of people who would bother coming are the same sort who would go on ELynah, ask friends what's going on, and generally be the fans we don't whine about.  In other words, we're all bitching to the choir.

I propose knocking the announcer out between the 1st and 2nd periods, stealing his mic and declaring that bad cheering will be punishable by death.  And then staging a bad cheer and shooting someone with a paintball gun in order to make an example.  "See you, facetimer.  You LOSE."

Then you must shoot anyone within the first five rows who doesn't immediately correct you with, "It's GOON!"

Ooh, Ultimate Lynah. I like it.

Nothing very goonish about being an idiot at cheering.  But someone who has just been fatally shot has lost something -- well, maybe.
