ATTN: DU Student Section aka "Crimson Creatures"
I went to the game this weekend and have to admit you guys did a really good job on Saturday Night. As I mentioned in the previous article, the "VIAGRA Cheer" is world-class and the "Spits vs. Swallows" Debate with the goaltender seemed to soften him up during the game.
Here's a few thoughts...
1). The students help the team. The players feed off of you and want score goals for you. When they fall behind or aren't playing well, thats when you have to really step things up and cheer more and louder.
2). Lets be honest the "Sieve Cheer" needs work. Miami of Ohio's was pretty awesome, but I couldn't find it on YouTube (ask Mannino, I think he knows it off by heart). Here's a few pointers from around the country...
3). When the Pep Band is playing...Get off your ass and join in. While you're at it, try and force the administration to put the Pep Band in the Student Section. You guys act like the band is from another school.
4). It wouldn't be a bad idea to learn a song or two. Rocky Mountain Way & Rocky Mountain High might be a good starting point.
.
5). With the new Denver Metro Lightrail running right to DU, there's going to be instances when you take the train to the game. Watch the Boston University students take over the train and terrify old ladies...
BU Students on the train - (PG-17 Warning: Contains Graphic/Colorful Language which may be offensive to BU Administrators, priests, parents, wealthy donors & some Republicans)
6). Bring lots of Enthusiasim to the game...

UNO: Hockey Fans w/ High Energy
7). This student spirit stuff is so easy a baby could do it...

Most of all have fun and Lets Go DU

Very cool. Can the Ohio State Band skate?
I Like the CC sign Constantly Choking
Did you notice the other sign...
"We Love The Border"
You can blow up the picture by double-clicking on it.
Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way ...
Couldn't get much higher ...
Joe Walsh could play some serious slide ... That tune got the biggest ovation I'd ever seen when he played it with the Eagles WAAAAAYYYYYY back in the day at Mile High Stadium.
Who's Wisconsin University? Not all schools flip their official name like the University of Denver. :-P
And I always thought it was the University of Bucky in Wisconsin. Nice catch. I corrected it...
:-)
Donald,
Here's a YouTube link to "Rocky Mountain Way" performed by the Eagles.

For some reason the DU Athletic Department isn't too thrilled about my idea to get these two songs going in Magness. I suspect they believe that it will turn the Crimson Creatures into "potheads."
Thanks for the good words about our student section. Even the Gopher fans agree that we're the gold standard.
Nice blog Denver. Interesting read.
Glad to see my Doghouse at NU get a shout out.
Keep it up.
Here's the Miami University Sieve Cheer...
