I was reading an article today in my kids' US Hockey magazine. It talked about the wild U of Michigan fans and all the chants they do at the games. Mr. NCCanes and I were rolling with laughter. I couldn't find the article online, but found a website (natch) that lists the chants....
Here are some of my faves:
Michigan scores a goal (frequently during the game)
After a rousing chorus of "The Victors," pumping your fist on each "Hail"...
Indicate the number of goals with your fingers
(if between 10-15 goals, use your right hand for the tens digit, and the left to indicate the ones digit. If more than 15, hey, you're on your own!)
For example, let's say Michigan has just scored its third goal of the evening, you wait for the band to say "Goal count, ready?" then follow with "One, two, three; we want mooooore goals!" Then point tauntingly at the opposing goalie and yell "sieve, sieve, sieve, sieve, sieve, sieve, sieve -- it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
Opposing Goaltender taunt #2 (usually after Michigan's goaltender makes a great save)
Fans point at Michigan's goalie and say "GOALIE!", then quickly point to the opposing goaltender and yell "SIEVE!" Repeat frequently.
Opposing Goaltender taunt #3 (after Michigan's pep band leader turns into "Disco Nix.")
Fans point at Michigan's band leader Jamie Nix and say "Dancer!", then quickly point to the opposing goaltender and yell "SIEVE!" Repeat frequently.
:laugh:
