Hugh Jessimen called: he said: BYE

My favorite was: Hey Harvard/Colgate, its 11 o'clock, do you know where your pillow is?

When harvard won it, there was minor harvard celebration, and then the whole rink was suddenly filled with 'LGR! LGR! LGR!' and you could just see the harvard fans getting very said as they remembered whose fans would be around tomorrow night too.

The next morning, my friend Jenn encounted Ryan Lannon in the pool of her hotel in d-town albany, and he begged the cornell fans to be nice to him.

No, it's just been me or a second voice. Thanks for the modern version though.

I see your point, but our whole idea was to change up the night's cheers so we could have a new one besides the standard and overused "Section O sucks"

Like Ari said, after too much cheering by yourself you are gonna get tired of it and little light headed to boot.

Keep thinking of good ideas. The only reason I thought of that is because you already came up with the basic idea. The biggest thing is to make them short and sweet so they work in a crowd setting.

I forgot about the "LGR" cheers after their game. I can't imagine how much that must suck to have won such a big game and, instead of hearing your fans going nuts, have to listen to fans rooting for a team that didn't even play in that game.

Damn, we're good. ::rock::

Long and complicated is great for one or two people to do at a stoppage when it's gotten pretty quiet. A really clever one can sometimes get half the rink laughing their asses off, including some of the players.

I think what would help the most would be a little bit of research/dissemination of some good cheers before the game. I was in G for the Clarkson game, and as soon as we saw Clitsome's name, we were trying to come up with a taunt that would be at least SOMEWHAT appropriate (and not get us kicked out). Unfortunately, we didn't come up with a good one that caught on.

Also - with McNulty breaking his stick the night before in a fit of rage after losing, we were contemplating a cheer of "break your stick" when things weren't going his way. However, we didn't think most people would get it.

As someone said, the Faithful are all spread out, and people on this board are sitting in all different sections. If we looked up some player info and posted some cheers on here a day or two before the game, then some people in each section would know what was up, and hopefully be able to pass it on to the others, either by cheering it themselves or by explaining why something like "break your stick" is funny. The impromptu cheers can be great, but other sections can't pick up on them if they have no idea what's being said.

[q]If we looked up some player info and posted some cheers on here a day or two before the game[/q]At least buy a program so you can heckle the guys by name instead of "Hey #23 - you suck!". Plus, you get early notice of exploitable names like Clitsome. You actually didn't come up with something to do with that? I'm disappointed.

The joke was obvious - verbalizing it without being too graphic is what proved difficult.

Dartmouth player names are the best because you can try to make sentences out of them. Johnson Offers Johnson Swallow.

I was a fan of the section A/B "Sieve wants Clitsome" durring a couple of times that Clitsome and Clarkson's sieve were alone talking at the net several times...

I'm nitpicking here but didn't Leggio start the night before. He was in net for the replay of the game they showed on channel 26 saturday afternoon. We were giving him crap about his play in that game before the line up announcements.

We got a wink and some kisses out of him, but being the backup at Lynah he can afford to not have his whole head in the game.

Willy '06 · January 23, 2006, 06:52:15 PM

Unfortunately we never saw him get hit really hard, but we started "Clitsome got licked" anyways.

KeithK · January 23, 2006, 06:53:04 PM

Thats the only Clitsome he can get....
