That's a great one. I lived less than an hour from Franconia,NH in VT, when the Old Man fell. It was definitely a shock when, after about 3 cloudy, rainy days, all of a sudden there was no Old Man when the skies cleared again. There was a pile of rubble at the bottom of the cliff, but no one had heard or seen the rocks fall.

Cheer of the weekend, without a doubt. :-D You know it's good when the cheer is inconsistent cause people keep laughing in the middle of it.[/quote]

Maybe even cheer of the year. That was definitely a classic. We have created some great cheers to use on a regular basis, but it is tough to beat one that comes out of the blue like that. I told all of my friends and family about that one when I came home. Kudos to whomever actually thought of it.[/quote]

I wasn't at the game -- what was the meaning of that cheer?[/quote]
Cornell and Vermont played in the early game, while Harvard and Colgate went to a long overtime in the late game. That got Harvard good and tired for the championship the following day.

I'm sure the Old Man maintenance crew was the same speedy group that ran the restaurant we ate in before the game that didn't happen.

Not just a overtime, but 2... nearly 3:

Crazy third period too. Colgate tied it at 1 0:27 in, and Harvard took the lead twice, 2-1, and 3-2, only to be tied with 0:45 afterwards both times.

We had already beaten UVM 3-0 fairly easily in the early game (2005 ECAC's). Harvard and Colgate were in a really tough battle, with both teams really taking it to each other throughout the game. There were still more Cornell fans (at least more vocal) then there seemed to be fans cheering for either of these teams. Of course, we were all cheering for the teams to beat the crap out of each other so whichever team won would be dead for our game. We never figured we would get our hopes answered with multiple overtimes, but whenever a team scored we would all cheer for the team that was still down. I think we cheered louder than the Colgate fans when Colgate tied it twice in the 3rd period. I think sometime late in the 1st overtime (maybe early in the 2nd) the cheer came up. I think it was even later than 11:00 PM. Absolutely awesome. :-D

Ack, I'm hurt that they are insulting the current students creativity after our many hilarious cheers, and my new favorite your revolutionary war musket comment.

Revolutionary war musket comment?

Who remembers what the other two (three?) parts of that cheer were? It was definitely a very good one, and ought to be remembered for future years.

Yeah, it certainly didn't hurt our cause...by the beginning of the second overtime the teams looked like they could barely stand

"Hey _____, you shoot like a Revolutionary War musket- very inaccurately!"

Well Clarkson's fan section kept up with their "Here we go Clarkson..." for basically the whole game.

To mix things up from the "Section O sucks" some friends and I tried for the "get a new cheer" with the subsequent claps but it ended up being just our little section in the first few rows of A carrying it on. I don't know what the deal is with the rest of the section, it seems like too many people in A and B are just listening to other people not joining in. I know we can hear Ari and his group in the middle of B but most of the time we have to really listen hard to determine what is being said because they seem to be the only ones yelling.

And not like it hasn't been mentioned many times before, but people really need to show up on time. Section A has been dreadfully empty all year, and routinely has people showing up at 8 to try and fill in seats in the first five rows. I think we could understand a few seats in front of the band being empty for the obvious, but beautiful noise, but seats on the glass being empty into the second period? That just makes us look awfully disinterested.

[Q]"Hey _____, you shoot like a Revolutionary War musket- very inaccurately!"[/Q]

Are you actually able to enunciate that enmass? That would be hard to hear clearly even if only one person said it. It is a clever idea, but it seems like a lot of syllables for a group cheer. Maybe "Hey ___, You aim like a Scud missile! Off Target!". Same idea, but more concise. 11 vs. 21 syllables not counting the name.

There was "Keggy called", "I'm tapped".

I cant remember the third. I want to say it was something to do with Daniel Webster, but that may have been other cheers.

Or it may have been Jeb Bartlet related, since he was from New Hampshire.

Mike would know best, he put together most of it.

I was in A and didn't join in on "get a new cheer" because, frankly, who are we to talk?
