CC/Bemidji/Wisconsin cheering

Different people learn in different ways.  I for one don't have the attention span to sit in one classroom all day long, covering the same subject.  Kind of the reason why I post here so much, when I'm supposed to be sitting here doing the same thing for 9 hours a day.[/quote]

Haha... as I was reading your post I didn't check the author, and I was thinking you were a student. I was planning on saying, "yeah, wait until you get to the working world, why do you think you see all these corporate domains posting to eLynah." Priceless :-D

"Bemidji Bites"
"Colorado=beer, NY= wine, Beer and CC suck"
"Buck Wisconsin"
"Smelly Cheese, Smelly cheese, smelly cheese" over and over again
for CC "are you like colgate, but on the far-edge of nowhere?"
"wisconsin hockey sucks, dont ya know"
"wisconsin hockey sucks, eh?"

[q]"Colorado=beer, NY= wine, Beer and CC suck" [/q]Huh?  I'm no beer drinker, but I doubt you'd get general agreement among Cornell fans with that one.

At the 1970 NCAA tournament, I had a sign that said
" BADGER
 WISCONSIN"
At first the 100 Wisconsin fans that were there (their allotment, Cornell fans had pretty much bought out the house other than the small team allotments) started cheering when we unfurled the sign, which I think was on an old bedsheet.  About 5 seconds later someone realized what it really said and the cheers turned to boos.

Given the Coors' Cornell connections (3 generations of alumni?), you might be better off insulting Miller Lite, which of course is going right back to railing on Wisconsin.

I'll save the Bud insults for next year's FF in St. Louis.   ::uhoh::

How about "Wisconsin cheese --> Overrated.   NY cheese --> underrated," which, IMO, is true.

[quote fink]CC takes courses on a block system (as opposed to semesters), as apparently the students are only able to handle 1 course at a time. And it only lasts for 3.5 weeks.

I'm having trouble coming up with a cheer/sign for that, but there has to be one in there somewhere.[/quote]Interesting.  That's the same system that Cornell College uses.  I always end up next to them at college fairs.

CC prefers Coors, but Coors prefers Cornell.

OTOH, to those of you making the drive...I dare you to not stop at the Mars Cheese Castle.  Go ahead and try to not stop.

uh, oh, I feel another curmudgeon diatribe coming on.......

Is there any cheer more lame than

"[school or player name here] sucks!" (or countless variations there of)?

What could possibly be less imaginative? I also don't see how such cheers help our team (that is what it is about afterall). It just makes other fans dislike us and try to counter-cheer (since it is most often used when we are well ahead or it seems absurd) and fires up the opposing teams.

A witty insult is so much more powerful. And gosh darn it, people will like us.

Of course, an exception must be made for Harvard where it is simply a statement of fact that they suck and there are no fans to get fired up. "Suck" can sometimes be witty in the right context (e.g. the black hole cheer for a goalie). But in most cases it leaves me cold.

Part of this diatribe came from walking out of the Dunk Tank in Providence in 2003 after we beat Mankatao State 5-2 and overhearing some folks, who looked like they could have been parents of a Mankato player, wonder why we were chanting Makatao Sucks! when the outcome wasn't in too much doubt. It wasn't classy. I was slightly embarrassed to be a Cornell fan.

[Bio '04]

Not very original (and again, perhaps not really able to be used if Cornell and Wisconsin don't play each other unless people want to make signs for the Wisconsin/Bemidji game), but some buttons that were handed out at the Wisconsin @ PSU football game this year included:

"Too badger sad"
"Bring a towel, scare a badger"
