Just a little FYI....UND does have a cheer similar, the cheerleaders have been doing it for years. They spell out/yell "D-A-K--O-T-A, North, Dakota, Goooo Sioux"  right after the school song finishes.

And it's always bugged me. Not only are we* copying, but we copied a terrible cheer!

*WE would only be cheerleaders, because I've never heard any fan do it.

No doubt the formating will screw up but this should read as a WDAZ acrostic...

      W oog:

      D id You

  Pr A ctice Saying

    " Z ajac"?

Something similar would be:

Woog Pronunciation Guide

Zajac = Zay-Jack

Kaip = Kipe

Lamoureux = Lamb-A-Roo

Spirko = Spear-Co

Don't even try Rastislav

I can make the pronunciation guide but I'll probably have to shorten it.

Used this one last year:

"Who Ya Gonna Call?

Goph-Busters!"

I found some pictures of gophers at

Captions anyone? Something like: "Move Away from the Buffet, [name of pudgy Gopher here]" for the first and "Weapons of Mass Delusion" for the second. Surely, someone can do better?

I'm kicking this up to the top. I need to know which signs you want to see and I need volunteers to hoist them. A few people have e-mailed their seat numbers (thanks, you guys) but it would be nice to have all the "freshmen girls," who took lower bowls seats away from the real fans, play along. Sign holders can usually count on getting face time on the Daktronic or the broadcast. Any additional sign ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please post away.

Too bad we don't have that school from Amherst, MA, the Minutemen, on the schedule this season. Image that poster....

Maybe if we can get them to knock a few opponents really hard and shatter a few panels it could become a standard ...

Lets make signs... Sounds high schoolish to me!!

I will violate my general rule to not reply to trolls with this sign.

HENDU: GOPHER-K YERSELF

Sorry that the Mariucci crowds are not allowed to bring in signs. Might expose the lack of ability to spell. Why else would you guys always keep practicing that stupid M-I-N-N-E-Ahh-S-Ahh-0-Ahhh I think -T - A cheer?

Rule No. 1: It's a college hockey board, who cares about spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc . . .

Exception to Rule No. 1: If you come to a message board and talk smack you may be derided and taunted.

So in that spirit: How the heck would you know that this sounds high schoolish as your grammar is at best middle school? It is "Let's make signs...." as in Let us make signs ...... NOT Lets . . . . anyway, Minnesota sign makers may be "high schoolish", not the UND sign makers, they are witty. :0
