dakotadan Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 That, or perhaps somebody could get the lyrics printed out onto the back of a t-shirt or sweater. Put the people who actually know the songs in front. The front could say something else, like Siouxsports.com perhaps?? Just a thought. +++ Great Idea!

stafford_rules Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 ya know, if the students weren't there, the game would be a lot more boring.. They make it interseting and they get you in the game, even though some of it is " obscene". if they werent there, who would start the cheers? Would anyone cheer? i think by making all the new rules, theyre taking away a bit of tradition. just my thoughts though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they could use the marquis boards (the light signs around the edge of the balcony) to put lyrics up and start cheers? Oh wait.... that's been suggested, told "we'll think about it." and forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yepp, definitely had lyrics passed out at the game tonight... Definitely didn't go over so well... Hmm, maybe next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxMeNow Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Big Ups to the student section again tonight. Well done. Yup - pretty well behaved again! My only gripe was with 1 sign they held up a lot tonight.... "FANS WHO SIT...ARE ILLIGIT!" Alright...I'm going to nitpick here but you guys are in COLLEGE and (I assume) have had English 101. "Illigit" refers to ILLEGITIMATE...I guess...two problems...incorrect slang and IT'S SPELLED WRONG! "Legit" is recognized slang for legitimate - "Illigit" is only recognized by NDSU fans who are univerally recongized as MORONS! The sign should have read..."FANS WHO SIT AREN'T LEGIT!" (Hey - I'm only trying to help here guys! You go to a REAL university....reflect it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Sioux! Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I miss the slow clap at the beginning of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well, I tried. Yeah. I thought of it as I was passing them out, a bunch of idiots will make airplanes and throw them because they have the IQ's of a stillborn rat. So stupid. We should get REA to put it on the scoreboard. It's basically free of cost as opposed to having to constantly print out the lyrics. I would assume you spent a fair share of money on it and it was only for one night. Students should keep pestering REA about this and make sure they do it.

frnkdrcmn Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Way to go students! Keep it up. Let's make this the best house in NCAA hockey and have a lot of fun doing it. Some of the hand sitters will start to get it, some never will, but keep it up. Recruits want to play in front of good crowds who support the team and are having a good time to boot. Working to get everyone on the same page with cheers and songs is outstanding. btw, this young team is looking better as the season progresses.

WiSioux Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Just so ya know, I emailed the general manager of the Ralph to ask who I would talk to about getting school song lyrics on the big screen... papers in the chairs, that's another deal... I'm not gonna print them all, pay for them all, and deliever them all... I don't have that kind of patience Thanks for the input... I am going to discuss this with our staff and take a look at the operational issues associated with this proposed activity. This may be a good way to get the rest of the crowd into "Fight on Sioux" and "Stand Up and Cheer". Thanks for taking the time to drop me a note.

hockey10 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Tell her not to bother printing them. That obviously did not work. I think part of the problem is few know when those songs are actually played. The band seems to know what song is being played, maybe the band director should hold up a sign to signal to the rest of the crowd what song is on. Eventually people might know the songs by the starting notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually people might know the songs by the starting notes. In case anyone doesn't know, Fight on Sioux is played right before the team comes out on the ice (usually played starting slow and speeding up) or when there have been an few unfortunate events in the game such as few gopher goals. Stand Up and Cheer is played when they come on the ice, at the end of a period or when the Sioux score. It's for you, North Dakota U is barley played at hockey games and is usually only played for tailgaters or during the football pregame show. Maybe we could solve the problem by bumping the beer song from unofficial to official school song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could solve the problem by bumping the beer song from unofficial to official school song I always try to sing along, yes I know the words, but the times that the school song is played is usually a time when you also want to just yell and cheer (after a goal, for example), by the time I am done high-fiving my neighbor the song is over... I don't know if that means there should be another time the school song is played, or if I am off base here...thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 This thread is deja vu all over again....I"m about 97.5% sure the discussion about how they should put the lyrics for the school songs on the scoreboard (was it last year or longer)? I think they did for a few games. I think it's a worthless cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
