Knickball2 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well I would have thought by now that some fan out there would have provided the "Black Hole Chant", as I requested. Here's what I remember, when the Sioux scored, the students would chant "You're a Black Hole, no you're a vacuum, no you're a black hole, no you're a vacuum, you suck, sieve, sieve, sieve. Forgive me for inaccuracy, but something to that effect. Sounded very cool when it was chanted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed your post. That's the one and I haven't heard it since I was a student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hey [goalie name] you're not a sieve, you're a funnel Hey [goalie name] you're not a funnel, you're a vaccuum Hey [goalie name] you're not a vaccuum, you're a blackhole Hey [goalie name] you're not a blackhole, you just suck Ah, the memories. I remember the old Ralph where the whole student section was so loud and in unison doing this it was darn near deafening. Then again, you could do it in that barn. I remember at one point the students rattling a goaltender (I can't remember which team... it was a school with brown or maroon in it... tUMD or DU... doubt it was Minnesota) so badly that he actually left the crease and skated halfway to the student section during a game! Unfortunately, it was during a break in the play and he turned around and went back to the crease before the puck was dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iramurphy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Gopher rejects for St Clown and the Boston Rejects for Miss Mary Mack were good. Should have done "Mankato rejects" when the Gophers were here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krangodance Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Gopher Rejects isn't bad, but the problem is you get people who use it for everyone including when it makes no sense. I can see using it for SCSU or Kato, but those are probably the only two that it really works for. it is humorous to hear confused hockey fans mis-use common chants such as using the gopher rejects chant when we're playing cc. i had a friend in college who didn't understand that sieve was directed at the goalie. i had to explain the meaning of the chant after repeatedly observing him doing the sieve chant while performing the chopping motion toward any old person; ref, players on the other side of the ice from the opponent's goalie, fans in the stands. it was pretty funny.

VMeister Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 After watching the Sioux hockey games on tv the announcer would say Fighting Sioux at full strength...what does the crowd chant back?? I couldn't figure it out. I haven't been to a Sioux game in 2 years. I do like the Thank you at the one minute mark and the announcer says your welcome at the one minute mark of the 3rd. I usually only get to a game or two a year...mainly stick to the foosball. But I've got a semi-related hockey question: On the Big Dogs sports report, they go Canadian for the hockey scores. Does the saying "Put Mum in the garage" actually mean something or just a random Canadian thing to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Everybody should just silently shuffle into their seats before the game, watch the game in silence, and then leave. That way nobody's feelings will be hurt and our kids can learn that life is boring and there's nothing worth getting excited about. And speaking of people's feelings being hurt, I'm not a big fan of forechecking or whatever it's called when people go careening around the ice and colliding with one another. And another thing.... I agree completely. I think they should take the scoreboards out of the arenas so that the losing team's feelings aren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor! Would ha' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh. OK, since this is the game today ... We were so poor that we were always clean. Only rich kids had dirt.

The Sicatoka Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 What disappointed me about the Gopher series? The misplaced focus. Why "<bleep> the Gophers"? Why not "Lets Go Sioux!" The other guys? Non-factor. We play our game, we win. So, ... "Lets Go Sioux!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Why is this coming up at all? Think 54 million homes under the new Fox College Sports deal. Does Fox College Sports want the FCC asking why they're allowing the f-bomb during their broadcasts? If it persists, what happens? Easy: FCS drops UND. Nobody wants that as we want to watch UND hockey from anywhere. So what's the solution? Lose one word, just one word, from the chant vocabulary. Pretty simple.

Fox Sports North didn't seem to mind the Gopher student section yelling "B.S." (the actual words) after a call last weekend. I heard it clear as day on my TV. Well, if they did mind they didn't do or say anything about it. Maybe FSN North will drop the U of M... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched all the FCS games so far (no other choice), and that includes the Gopher games obviously. It was pretty much impossible to make out any understanding of "F the Gophers."

petey23 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 This makes me laugh because it describes exactly how it was when my kids played T-Ball. No score was kept, every kid got one AB per inning, didn't matter how many outs were made during the 9 batters, most of the kids in the field were playing in the dirt instead of fielding the ball, and after the game both coaches told their team they had won and everybody went home happy. I think we laughed harder during T-Ball games than we have at all the other sports our kids have played combined. I remember Garage Logic had a caller call in and tell Joe about how his kid came home from little league and told him that they didn't keep score so everyone won! The father then informed his kid, correctly, that in fact they all lost that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
