Wabash students were always the best to play in front of...I can remember them really giving it to MoneyballSTL44 about his "stat keeping" abilities

This answers your questions in general:

In the context of the NCAC board, your karma looks the way it does because your screen name is blasphemous to the Wooster multitude here given your allegiance.  It also doesn't help that you've posted anything critical of Wooster.  That sort of behavior just doesn't fly in this little corner of cyberspace.

Oh no i'm going to run out of applaud...  My goal was to get everyone ABOVE the 0 or negative and give them + karma..... Darn it.. i think i got the Bash Fans out of trouble.. DF no chance.. I'll see what i can do BNEL if you change your name!

You also need people to stop cannibalizing their own posters.

(Yeah, I'm looking at YOU!)

EA,

I appreciate the help. But I lose one point, then regain said point, pretty much every day.

That "pump" chant is pretty funny.

it's imperative for Wabash men to show some class and be gentlemen.

The Gentlemen's Rule doesn't preclude having fun. There's nothing vulgar about that chant. Sure it's not creative but it's not classless or ungentlemanly.

[smedindy]

I think many would disagree about the word "sucks" as it pertains to gentlemanly conduct, especially used in such a pejorative cheer. In fact, some sports boards ban that word from being used as it does nothing but cause people's temper to overflow and offers nothing constructive.

He had the numbers increasing and they gave effort, at least for a lot of the season. It's too bad.

The worst part of that whole release? It was probably written by Rice's wife, who last I knew was Hiram's SID.

Best of luck to him. Hiram poster(s): thoughts? Here's a chance to discuss something other than an intentional foul.

[smedindy]

Yes, she is the Hiram SID and Director of Sports Marketing.

I didn't say it was a "gentlemanly" thing to say. I said I didn't think it was "ungentlemanly". I apologize for parsing words but I'm a lawyer and I think there's a difference. Sort of like the difference between "innocent" and "not guilty".

[smedindy]

But it still stands that many think it IS ungentlemanly.  In fact, a couple of us were talking about that very thing in the office yesterday.

smeds-----karma for use of the word pejorative.....even if I have no idea if its used correctly.

One of my favorite cheers I have heard occurred at the Ohio High School State Swimming Championships.  Upper Arlington and Cincinati St. X were battling for the title and were cheering back and forth at each other.  St. X started the ever popular "We've got spirit yes we do we've got spirit how 'bout you?" cheer, and the kids from UA responded with, "We've got girls yes we do, we've got girls, how 'bout you?"  I thought that was absolutely classic!  

ps, I really doubt that they care how gentlemanly or ungentlemanly they are.  They're freaking college students for crying out loud.  Cut 'em some slack.

One of my favorites, when I first heard it and it was creative, is "Drive Home safely". 

That's a good one for blowouts. I also haven't heard it anywhere in a while, but was anyone in Ohio capping off home-court blowouts with "warm up the bus, warm up the bus"?

When I was a kid, way back in the sixties, our high school cheerleaders were doing a forerunner of that one:

"Harrass them, harrass them, make them relinquish the ball!"

By the late 90's that had been updated (at least for football) to "emasculate them, emasculate them..." which of course makes more sense.
