tboneund Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 If we can figure something out for this weekend we can use this board and word of mouth to spread the new chants. There is plenty of time before the Mich.Tech series to really get organized and get articles published in the Herald and Dakota Student informing more students and fogies about the new chants.

dagies Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I think a good one for introductions could be divided up with the student section and eventually the rest of the arena once they catch on. Half of the section or group chants, WHO'S HE? The other half replys, WHO CARES? It would be neat if it came from two different areas, but it would also work if a you and a person next to you tried to out-yell each other. This would probably need to be started with fliers or just a big group and would probably catch on fast. I thought I had a good idea but it was predicated on the goalie being introduced last. I like this idea a lot. I would definitely do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Sing-song chant ideas, al la Wisconsin's "1-2-3-4, we want more": "First goal, first goal, puts you in a deep hole" "It's 2-1 and we're not done" "1-2-3 how simple can it be?" "We've got four Show [opposing goalie's name] the door" Whatever is shouted after the opposing player intro, has to be short and punchy because Hennen barrels right through their lineup. "Sieve" after the goalie's name, great. How about "Sieve Helper" after the D-men, make it sound like an analog to "Hamburger Helper". For the wingers, a derisive "Mighty Wingman," sung like the line in the beer commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 How about ... Scott Hennen on PA: Starting at defense for Inept State, #12, Joe Blow. REA Crowd: Non-factor! or, better yet ... Scott Hennen on PA: Starting in goal for Inept State, #1, John Doe. REA Crowd: Empty net! (while pointing at the goalie) Scott Hennen on PA: Starting at defense for Inept State, #12, Joe Blow. REA Crowd: Just another pylon! If you've ever skated hockey drills, you get that last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxTupa Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, I like the pylon! Put them together you get: For the goalie: We're Sorry! For the D-Men: One More Pylon..... For the Rest: Who's he? Who Cares! I was there in '01 when it was tried, but I say these cheers are better than the attempts then, and hopefully (in my mind) will make for a fun weekend on national tv!

beersong Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 An outsiders view.... Personally if 11,000 people were chanting "let's go sioux" during the opposing teams lineup I think that would be a heck of a lot more intimidating to the opposition. It's hard to get lots of people involved if you get your cheers too unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 beersong has a point (OMG, what am I saying?!). The question is whether the students want some chants or catcalls that are uniquely their own or do they want the fogies to join in? I think they can have both. Keeping it simple and recognizable is more effective for us fogies. Making it unique and edgy without stepping over the line probably works better for the students.

soSIOUXme Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Chop chop on those thrift store shooping trips, soSiouxme. Diggler, I know you may be "sensitive" about revealing it but I will need to know what size. And do you want kickers or are you going to give all of us a thrill and reveal your tighty whiteys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Barn Guy Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 How about yelling "Monty Pylon" when the opposition's defensemen are introduced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 beersong is right though. Regardless of what it is, the chant has to be simple and easy to yell. That's why I liked the "Who's He?---Who Care's" idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 What Wisconsin fans do is make up cheers to the tunes of other songs which is clever such as... (to the tune of dear liza, theres a hole in my bucket, my bucket) Colorado has a sieve for a goalie, a goalie, a goalie Colorado has a sieve for a goalie, a goalie in net. All it takes is for a section to learn this and it should catch. BTW I made this up but take a concept and find a catchy tune and let it be heard.

For that tune, I'd say: There's a SIEVE (arm motion towards the goalie in question) in the goal crease the goal crease the goal crease There's a SIEVE (arm motion towards the goalie in question) in the goal crease the goal crease A SIEVE!

YaneA Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Am I the only person who's never heard of this song, "Dear Liza, There's a Hole in My Bucket"? What is that, a kiddie song like "Froggy Went A-courtin'"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 John Jacob Jingle Hiemer (sp) Schmidt is always a favorite! YaneA, I believe you said that Hennon goes to fast through the visitors. If these new cheers are to happen and the students meet with the REA, it might be something to bring up. Waiting an extra 10 seconds to the 15 minute intro process won't hurt anyone.

tboneund Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 For this weekend I I like the idea of just chanting "Let's go Sioux!" during the opposing team's line-up. It's easy to get going among the entire crowd because it has been done during other games...it seems like the best option for this weekend. What does everyone else think? PS. I love the Hole in the Bucket song, by dad taught it to me on a long car drive to keep me busy, unfortunetly it drove him nuts after a half hour of continuous singing!
