FINAL  AU 31 IC 17

50 yard FG attempt by Utica is NO GOOD!!!  The Wick is going to hang on 24-21.

congrats to AU
i guess they reall didnt care about the Ur loss.
maybe they just wanted to rest people.

honest to god i really thought that this could have been the season Fisher got back to the final 4.
I really wish AU well and hope they represent the E8 well.
Please play well

I'm curious... what is the Fisher yard sale cheer?

This remains the unanswered question of the season. Pep doesn't get it. Pep loves the crowd getting into games, but doesn't care too much for sideline cheers of teammates during a game. Too reminiscent of Ms. Pep's Cinderella softball games, chewing gum, ponytails and sing-along cheers and chatter.

As was pointed out by a Fisher poster, if its intent is to intimidate the opponent on third down plays, at least against Alfred, it didn't' work.

It was an embarassment all season long.  Obviously it didn't pump up the defense or intimidate the opposing team's offense.  It just seems so low class for a team to be chanting something.  Leave that crap in modified football.

booby hit the nail on the head.....first time I heard it I was at the UC game and it sounded like garage sale!!

[gordonmann]

I've never heard the chant thing.  What is it?  What do they do?

As in, leave the other team "looking like a Yard Sale all laid out on the grass"? Or some other even more obscure reference?

Wow. Just wow.

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah...again, I am late to this conversation, but why would they be chanting "yard sale"...what is the inside joke on this one?  Or is it so obviously that I am just missing it?

Pep surmissed that their nickel defense was looking for "easy pickins".

[fisheralum91]

I have absolutely no explanation of the yard sale thing.
Was a total mess to begin with.

[maxpower]

Does it have something to do with the short field they'd be leaving if they didn't covert... i.e. a sale on "yards"?


Can we really not get a definitive answer on this?
