Best/Favorite Cheers

ebilmes · March 01, 2006, 08:48:41 PM

We all love our extensive collection of cheers http://www.elynah.com/?cheers from which we can draw throughout each game and perform with impressive unity and volume. However, what has impressed me most about the Faithful is our ability to invent spontaneous cheers directed at certain teams, their players, or their fans. As we have a little while before the next game, I think it would be fun to reminisce about the favorite taunts, cheers, or chants that we can remember.

Personally, I most enjoyed the "Our Team's Sleeping" chant from Albany and the "Forgive me, Father, for I'm a sieve" from the Notre Dame game in Florida.

my favorite was, and still is "Steve wears pink socks *clap clap clap*"

"Which team is the third place team?"...

My favorite: 1984 or 85 ECAC tournament in Boston. RPI's goofy-looking mascot is skating on the ice during intermissions. I'm sitting there thinking to myself: "what the f__K is that?" Then I hear someone in my row say: "what the f__k is that?" Immediately followed by a chorus of many chanting: "what the f__k is that?" I wouldn't want to hear that kind of language on a steady basis. But, the spontaneity coupled with my own personal thoughts, made it very funny for me. Priceless!!

4 point weekend, 4 point season?

Spontaneity was rare at times this year.

There was a good "pull your pants up" for Dekanich, whose pants were inexplicably falling down all game.

And MVP for Devine after the goal that he kicked in was a lot of fun.

They've been mentioned recently, but gotta give the shout-out again too:

"Our team's sleeping" clap clap clap-clap-clap

and

"Hey Harvard... all six of your jerk fans called! They said... YOU SUCK!"

BALD! BALD! BALD! was my favoriet this year.

"We get to leave! We get to leave!"

I liked "Doesn't matter!" from the consolation game last year. The "Yes you can" after Union's pathetic "We can't hear you" this past weekend was also pretty funny.

But my favorite chant is still, of course, the "It's all your fault!" chant: it's the one I like to hear the most.

"And 3 points is a field goal. Field goal school...field goal school...."

Just for the record, that was The Swarm. It was supposed to look like a bee.

Oh, that reminds me of this: There was also the unfortunate period of time when RPI decided to try "Redhawks" as their nickname/mascot and had some horrible bird costume. It was so hated that the RPI fans joined in with the Clarkson fans with a "KFC! KFC!" chant.

I'm trying to decide if I'm ashamed for RPI (and I have no reason to be) for its series of bad mascots, or if I'm sorry I missed it. I'm leaning towards the latter...:-}
